ReMix: Top Gear 3000 'ShopMix'

The successors to Kemco' s Top Gear weren't as critically acclaimed as the original, but they were still knida fun and the quality of the music didn't go down. Collaborator submits this ShopMix track that is quite unique and an excellent first submission, from Top Gear 3000's soundtrack. Beginning with simple but delicate chords then bringin' in a kickin' bassline (LOVE this bass patch), the main element here is the piano line, which does a nice call and answer for the verse as the drums warm up and a sax panned left joins in. Piano drops out for the key change as the drums heat up a bit. What makes this sort of jazzy / techno hybrid so interesting is the mix, which is weird but works. Bass and pads are centered, but the sax is pretty far left and the drums right. Piano is usually center, but answers the melodic verse with a bit to the left, which is really a cool touch. Often electronic emulations of saxes are brutally painful, but this one was decent and the way it's used doesn't expose too much. I might have added another layer drums to the left, on top what's there, and maybe one more melodic instrument, doubling the sax on the key changes when the piano drops out, but the pads do a good job of keeping the mix in line. Good stuff, great first submission from Collaborator!
