As his first submission, lasombra gives us our first Mechwarrior 2 ReMix (Though Peeples' excellent Mech2: Mercs piece remains our first from the series). This definitely fits in with some of our more "schizophrenic" mixes here at OCR, as it's almost equal parts ambient, rock, soundtrack, and techno. Starting with effects and minimal pads, the first minute or so is essentially a tone-setting intro (in a novel it'd be "character development"), until a more substantive melody and very saucy acoustic drums come in circa 1'10", followed by a great synth bass of sorts that's very funky and well-programmed (kinda hafta hear it - sounds like some of the modulation you can get with FM synthesis). Then at 2'35", things go AWOL abruptly, and in comes guitar shredding power chords, an upbeat, shuffling drum pattern, and a lot more mojo in general. String pads come back in and the mix exits on some effects and an appropo "shutting down" sample. As a side note, I actually read some of the Battletech books way back when - really dug the whole thing with the Clans, and always rooted for them (and against the Inner Sphere) - I visited the Battletech center in Chicago when I was like ten, and LOVED the "Legend of the Jade Phoenix" books by Robert Thurston. If you ain't read Way of the Clans, you're missing out. It's not Ender's Game, but I liked it quite a bit. Anyway, this is a charismatic mix that clearly shows a willingness to try some interesting concepts - bold, dynamic stuff from lasombra, with a good combination of styles.
