Cool. Actually, let me revise that: hella cool. This ReMix by first-time contributor Mattias Holmgren was requested by none other than his brother, and is actually a ReMix of a ReMix - Mattias has taken NoppZ' arrangement of the Wily and Flashman themes, Mega Man 2 'Wily Meets Flashman', and totally reconstructed it using rock drums and electric guitar, with quality synthage as well. Check out Mattias' website as well - dude plays guitar and piano, sings, uses Cubase and Sound Forge, writes C++ apps, uses 3d studio Max and Photoshop, and does respectable web design as well - mad props to the renaissance man, indeed. This is high-adrenaline rock, with chuggin' guitars, screamin' leads, slammin' drums, and many more descriptive verb-instrument combinations that I could annoyingly use an apsotrophe to sub for a 'g' in. Don't hesitate for a second - quality is superb, and while the arrangement stems from NoppZ' capable work, the piece has transmogrified into something more kin to the rock phylum in the genus "kickass" (whereas NoppZ' was more techno-groove, genus "butt-shakin'". How's my taxonomy?) Mattias definitely blends electronic textures transparently into this guitar-based piece, something few pop bands could do (Trent Reznor admires 'The Cars' for this quality and I agree), and the transitions and technical aspects are spot-on. Apparently took him five hours, as the ID3 comment indicates - five hours well spent, I'd say. Kay, I'll shut up now - great, memorable stuff, and for a ReMix of a ReMix it reworks an enjoyable idea/arrangement into a different but equally enjoyable piece. Highly recommended.
