Superlative, and oh-so-creative, Star Salzman's latest ReMix is an 80's maximalist electro-pop arrangement of Robo's theme from Chrono Trigger, with original lyrics to boot. This is simply a great concept executed with talent and style, lending the sound of 80's acts like Bucks Fizz and Electric Light Orchestra to Mitsuda's work, with harmonizing, processed "robotic" vocals ala the Thompson Twins, in a semi-vocoded style. If you're not up on your 80's, think 'Digital Love' by Daft Punk. If you are up on your 80's, on the other hand, this might remind you of some of Jeff Lynne's work, particularly the score to the movie 'Electric Dreams' (an amusing bit of 80's nostalgia itself, in which a PC takes over its user's life+house after having a cold beverage spilt on it ^^) - this absolutely sounds like it's been transplanted from almost two decades ago, the suspension of disbelief is that effective. The lyrics are humorous but also work musically and contextually make perfect sense, adding yet more depth. More than being a rearrangement, like a certain other ReMix from Chrono Trigger, it creates its own world. Very polished, immaculately authentic genre work from Star, memorable to the extreme, and a huge windfall for fans of this type of track. If Jeff Lynne tried to turn Robo's theme into a fully developed song, with vocals, I wouldn't expect the result to be any better than this. Highly recommended.
