First off, like the name :) Beatdrop's latest is some VERY electronic, slower techno (with a hardcore kick drum) coverage of Super Metroid. I'm of two minds about this mix - on the one hand, I dig most aspects of it - funky beat, some nice tricks and twists, in-your-face synths, and a kickin' upwards pitch-bent snare fill reminiscent of that 'I'm Too Sexy' song from days of yore. At times, though, I did feel like the combination of strong bass and a very deep, loud hardcore kick were overpowering the rest of the mix. I have a feeling this was the intention, however, and it certainly represents a methodology in the genre that is often utilized - it's just not one I'm particularly fond of. Don't let my specific nitpick on that one aspect stop you, though, because this is quite solid electronica, with a broad pallete of otherworldly pads and effects (see intro) and some very aggressive synth and drum textures. Probably I'm just getting old - soon I'll be watching soap operas and eating Metamucil three times a day :) Heavy, pounding, elaborate stuff from Beatdrop.
