This is the third and final ReMix that will be added to OC ReMix from the mucho impressive and sonically-wholesome-for-the-whole-family Project X 2 initiative. In case you haven't gotten the message yet, Rok and Rawk have put together a sublime, professional quality collection of Mega Man ReMixes that - if you have even a passing interest in Mega Man or good music - you need to check out. There's much more than what's been posted here available there! That's the third and final warning: ignore at your own peril :) Alright, before I turn into 'ShamelessPlug Man' (who knows - Capcom's getting pretty desperate with these boss names these days ^^), let me focus my attention on the mix at hand. Granted that this is a very brief mix, at just under 1'20", there's lots to like. Rok and Rawk are very adept at blending genres while retaining authenticity - you'll simultaneously hear elements of techno, hip-hop, and rock in many of their tracks. Things begin with a mangled audio intro then bust out with electric guitar starting on the left but moving around the stereo field, synth dead center, and a dynamic, lively beat driving the whole thing. Then the beat becomes less agressive, there's a synth riser, and things go mellow acoustic guitar - sort of an inversion in transition to their initial title screen coverage not so long ago. That about sums it up - nothing wrong with short-but-sweet, as JAXX and others have testified to with excellent but brief mixage. I've been impressed with everything I've heard from Project X 2 - consistency, originality, and quality like that is hard to maintain across an entire soundtrack, but they've done it. The whole body of work that is Project X comes highly recommended :)
