DJ Crono proves that his initial, unique + excellent (even if the rapping wasn't him) Final Fantasy 6 debut ReMix wasn't just a fluke with this excellent follow up from Wizards & Warriors. This is the oft-mixed main theme, so expectations were already riding high in my mind as we've seen several quality iterations of this theme over the years. Fortunately, Crono's is distinct enough to carve its own niche - actually "distinct" may be an understatement as - love it or leave it - Dj Crono himself raps to original lyrics . . . in Japanese. Now that there's something you don't see every day. The vocals are mixed a little loud, but to me it was passable and mad props for even attempting something of this nature have to be given. Check out the lyrics + translation to see what's what. On to the music - LOVE the bassline here: elastic saw overtop a pounding house beat, extensive vocal samples in addition to the actual rapping (which is actually layered with singing too, btw), monoglide and thin, isolated piano, with lots of other synth textures and rhythmic vices appearing, and some brief solos as well. I think you have to get into the general atmosphere of being slighty goofy (i.e. the shouts of "DJ Crono!!" and the "Give it to me" bits) and just having a lot of fun to appreciate the entire package, but the music itself is on the level. Crono is definitely doing his own thing, in more ways than one, and I think that's great, esp. for source material like this and his FF6 Terra mix, which are both songs that have been covered up and down and (arguably) don't need "yet another techno" mix. I don't know, this'll probably be a love-it hate-it mix for a lot of people, but I had fun with it and I think the lyrics are pretty dern respectable. Recommended, if you've read this far and are still on board :)
