It's late and I'm pooped. Hey, at least I'm honest - it's been a week full of lengthy meetings at work, including sobering fiscal year '04 budget planning discussions, which have the amazing power to suck the living spirit straight out of a human being's body through the skull :) Also planning some extensions and revisions to the main database that drives OCR, which takes up time I'd otherwise spend writing amazingly eloquent, proofread prose regarding the mixes I post. Excuses, excuses . . . this latest ReMix comes in from Cyborg Jeff, who's given us some memorable and really rather groovy Fury of the Furries tracks in the past. He now shifts gears (groan) to cover Lotus 2: Turbo Challenge, the Amiga follow-up to the original racer, in a more traditional dance fashion. The intro actually cycles through some other games' music, including fellow racer Outrun, before settling in on a classic four-on-the-floor synth-bass driven dance groove straight outta La Bouche territory (you can actually try to sing "be my lover" on top and it sounds . . . well, bad if you stick to the melody, but at least contextually appropriate) - it's not just auto-pilot hook-driven bass-heavy dance, though, as CJ does the right thing and throws in some stops, breaks, effects of the engine acceleration ilk, and melodic runs. But the key here is that the ReMixer obviously shot for a very specific genre and sound and I can safely say he achieved that. Whether it's your thing or not will dictate your appreciation for the mix, but I can always get down to some guilty-pleasure dance myself, so I was into it. Nice change of styles for Cyborg Jeff, well implemented intro, and great+focused genre adaptation work.
