This is our very first ReMix from Dj Abjurator, our first coverage from "Kabuki Quantum Fighter", and - by virtue of being from that game - our first ReMix of a game whose protagonist fights bad guys inside a supercomputer using primarily his formidable abundance of red hair. Yep. Not too many games fit that description. Not to get sidetracked toooo much, but this to me is what makes Japan a great nation - they can produce games that feature hair-fightin' kabuki heroes dukin' it out inside supercomputers that somehow resemble sets from Ninja Gaiden II, and present the concept with straight faces. In most civilized nations, that's the type of idea that doesn't even make it to the proposal stage, and in some uncivilized nations could result in immediate castration. Yet the land of the rising sun gives us these gems, and by god, some of them turn out to be great. In this case, at least the music was solid, and has produced an even more solid ReMix. Abjurator gives the title screen music - peppy, energetic techno to begin with - an overhaul, with much-improved sounds, some ambient effects, and more focus and direction. If I were inside a supercomputer and were killing people with my hair, this here is the type of music I'd wanna be hearing, true dat. Honestly, I'm glad someone covered this oddball, chose probably the best track, and did an admirable job as well. There's not much to describe or elaborate upon - this is after all pretty direct techno, with the salient stand-out characteristic being the spooky atmospherics, but it's direct techno done well, with variation, discrete chunks, some slick leads, and a relentless drum track. For execution, game choice, and sheer fun combined, this piece thus comes highly recommended.
