ReMix: Star Fox 'Meteorave'
Download MP3
Alright - we needed a little Starfox something fierce, and bLiNd aka Jordan Aguirre has given us a lot. For those who've long been hankering for some high-quality, danceable Starfox electronica, your ship has come in. I have fond memories of playing this game - it really did revolutionize 3d shooters and though the polygons were quite primitive the environments somehow still felt more believable and "solid" then a lot of 3d shooters that have come since, including its sequel. About the only downside was the way they used a single voice sample at different pitches for each character to emulate "speech", making each of them sound like an inebriated neanderthal. Oh, and then there's the issue of Slippy . . . regardless, this was a landmark game and what I would consider a shining moment for the SNES and Nintendo in general, and Jordan does it true justice with a well-produced, effect-laden techno rave production of the meteor stage music. Thick bass, shimmering pads, tempo delayed analog gurgles, some phasing, lots of reverb, a drum track that while largely four-on-the-floor does have the decency to break into some shuffle snare breakbeat action round 2'27", trance detuning, a decent if unassuming and brief intro and outro, and all-around groovability. In my mind, if you asked me to construct a good trance ReMix of this theme, this is what I'd envision as succeeding in that goal. The chromatic melody comes through, and the high-intensity, repeating BGM nature of the original lends itself to this adaptation. Great stuff from bLiNd, filling a much needed space admirably. Recommended.

Over all it is a pretty good mix. Unexpected, I suppose you can say, for those ravers that dance to the beat. I can imagine someone going mad at the fast bpm, then suddenly having to slow down for that moment where it drops, then having to catch himself when the song speeds up yet again :)

Edit: Nevermind I found it. Why it's the track titled Meteor, of course :wink: .
