Nothing like a little Yuzo Koshiro to make your holidays bright. Opening with ambient ocean sounds and peaceful chords, Rayza's ReMix of the ending theme from Streets of Rage 2 actually is somewhat "Christmas"-esque, at least in the sense that's it's pleasing, not aggressive, and sorta touchy-feely in an epic "we just got done kicking some serious ass and saving the city yet again" sort of way. I don't know - it's the sort of ReMix where at any minute Bryan Adams could start singing (that's NOT meant as a dis), and to me it'd be perfectly appropriate tomorrow morning to play whilst opening presents (oh yeah, and, er, watching people open presents you gave them too . . .) - I'm glad someone's covered the softer side to the SoR soundtrack(s). This is a different style that what I'm used to from Rayza, more attuned to some of the excellent ballads we've seen from Kaijin, but it definitely works. I particularly liked some of the shimmering synth textures used, with heavy vibrato to where they almost sound like U2-style upper-octave guitars, and the piano and simple kick / rim shot drums are both quality as well. RPG fans take note - even if you've not played the Streets of Rage games, this particular piece is quite similar to what you'd hear in a Squaresoft RPG in terms of style. Regardless, everyone should check this out just to hear some warm+fuzzy piano ballad goodness, well mixed and polished by Rayza. Recommended - with some egg nog and a fire, especially ^^
