ReMix: Rygar 'Trippin' on Snails'

Mazedude must be one clumsy fella, because it seems like every other mix he's trippin' on something new (it's funny . . . laugh, damn you!) - whether it be rainbows, alligators, or snails - three items that I actually can't imagine are commonly tripped on (in a Cheech & Chong sense of the word) or over - the result remains consistently enjoyable, risk-taking, and musically transporting. This time Mazedude takes on the wonderful world of Rygar, Tecmo's seemingly forgotten hero who was recently revived for a next-gen sequel. Opening with a delayed upright acoustic bass (which you normally wouldn't hear delay applied to), things get very jazzy and funky FAST; this is probably Chris' best jazz work to date. A shuffling, hybrid electro-acoustic beat is the underpinning for some mean, delicious piano riffage, wailing saxophone work, low end wah guitar chords (icing on an already formidable cake), a breakdown with a bit of Chris on his trombone, a pick-up with muted trumpet which then breaks back in with piano, sax, and trombone all going simultaneously and maintains excellent intensity for a considerable while, then ends on a fadeout. Mixing is very clean - to have this many instruments riffing at the same time and not have the mix turn into chaos and start sounding ass is a testament to Mazedude's ever-improving skills. The arrangement is stellar, a new personal benchmark for Chris, with excellent performances all around from a mean assortment of players. The piano and sax in particular were superlative, and everything fits together VERY tightly and never even approaches the vicinity of adjectives like 'stale' or 'repetitive' for a nanosecond. For me, this is Mazedude's best ReMix since RiverCityRammStein and lends Rygar's tunes a whole new dimension. Highly recommended.
