Just one ReMix tonight (well, technically, this morning, as it's 3am), but it's a good, unique one I think you'll like. It's all the more important for ReMixes of popular games like Mega Man, Chrono Trigger, FF, etc. to be unique and to distinguish themselves from other mixes, as there just tends to be a lot of coverage. This is Thumper's first submission, and it's some rocking anthematic guitar coverage of Mitsuda's work. There's a high hiss/noise quotient in the laid-back intro, but I actually like the roughness this adds to the mix (in this case). However, the entire section from the beginning to 1'25" is really just a prelude (though a good, developed one) to the more rock/punk action that takes over. Reminds me a little of JAXX and also The Clash, both of which are compliments. There's actually not too much else to say - if you like the genre you'll dig it, as I do. Guitar lead is great and layers at times, bass and drums are dynamic and lively and well-mixed, and there's even some synth choir pads entering right 'round 3'53" that throw in moments of last-ditch sonic variety that, while not necessary to make this mix good, do enhance its overall appeal. There's quite a bit to like here: from the extended intro which is almost a mini-mix unto itself, to the ending that reprises the very tentative, building feel of said intro, Thumper impresses with musicality and solid arranging. Highly recommended - even if you've heard dozens of CT ReMixes and have had your fill, try just one more - you won't regret it (though admittedly, that's probably not the last time I'll make that statement ^^). Hope to see more from Thumper in the future.
