Nate Gudmunson aka vail actually submitted this ReMix, his first, as a mix of 'Tempest' which confused me and Joe Redifer as we certainly didn't remember it from the original Tempest (which is quite old). Turns out it was from the PC port of Tempest 2000, which was originally on the Atari Jaguar (one of the four or so decent games for the system). The PC soundtrack, though not as good, was essentially the same music with diluted instruments. Don't know why they didn't just use the same tunes . . . anyway, since most are familiar with this music from the Jag version, I'm crediting it to that game instead of the PC port - in case anyone cares :) As for the mix - Tempest 2000 is a tall order to mix because the original stuff (Jag version) was so groovy. vael does a good job, though, with a hyper, well-sequenced bassline, some strategically places ambient hits and fx, a relentless beat, and some dynamite filtering on the main melody that really changes its function in the song - it was much more prominent in the original. The weird, off-key vocoderesque synth loop that repeats a lot towards the end at first really hit me the wrong way, sounding very out of place, and it still sticks out, but I kinda like the contrast and flavor it provides. Call me crazy :) Definitely solid techno that the Judges panel - once everyone figured out which game it was from - was very down with. Recommended.
