Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls - come one, come all, to the unveiling of Project X 2!! I normally would have posted several mixes today, but this particular submission is part of something a little larger that deserves a moment in the spotlight by itself. Project X is a joint project by Rok and Rawk to ReMix entire soundtracks of Mega Man games. Awhile back they gave us an excellent Mega Man 3 piece that was part of Projext X "1". Now, they are proud to unveil Project X 2, which covers all of Mega Man 2 (going backwards in the MM chronology) with style, panache, and a keen mixture of acoustic / electric guitars and electronica. Check out the Project X Official Site for more details and for more great tunes, and give the guys some direct feedback while you're there - I'm sure they'd appreciate it. They've been working long and hard on this project, and I think you'll agree just by listening to this single track, which starts off with a David Bowie-esque mellow "Space Oddity" feel then breaks out the jams, that their work has paid off. Though the ReMix certainly does rock out as of 1'13", I especially dig the more subtle intro, which combines pure electronic tones with panned acoustic strumming and the perfect wind effect. Some of the drum trickery in the 'Mr. Hyde' half of the mix is quite the shit, though. Best check it out for yourself, then cruise over to their site for further investigation. Highly recommended, and quite satisfying to see a dedicated team work on something with evident talent and persistence and stick it out to reach an enjoyable and impressive conclusion.
