There once was man who sang of his groin. He sang of his groin, and of Zelda, and of their similarity. He sang and people listened. That man was and is Shael Riley, whose Zelda 'Music of my Groin' ReMix has achieved notoriety and acclaim the world over. Or at least with people that have visited this site and listened to it. But Shael has moved on, and contributes now a second mix which does NOT feature anatomical comparisons of any kind, and is in fact bereft of lyrics. While we may miss Shael's genital musings, his new style is mcuh more electronic, and highly musical, so do take a listen. What we got is a nice breakbeat techno style, a very dense mix with multiple synths and highly layered drums, on Matoya's theme, replete with filtering, nice breakdown section at 1'33", and some floaty pads and choir patches. A nice ride cymbal sits in the center of the percussion track, an interesting alternative to the standard hi-hat (which does have its bits as well), and the mix starts off fairly centered in the stereo mix but expands outwards as it progresses. The melody is played on a hauntingly high echoed synth with delayed drum hits at 2'20", which was especially well-done. I'm impressed that as much variety and discrete passages were extracted from this original theme, which is tres brief. Good combination of effects, synths, arrangement, and drums from Mr. Riley, who amply proves with this mix that there's more to him than his groin :)
