Fear not, hearty OCR-goers - while it's been slow the past two weeks and posting will probably remain slowish for the next couple weeks, we're definitely still here, alive, and kickin'. We recently experienced a server upgrade to the latest version of PHP from a few versions back, which went smoothly, and the future holds some interesting possibilities. But enough of that - the core of the site has always been and will always be the music, and Gecko Yamori's been waiting for something of his to be posted for awhile now. This Streets of Rage ReMix features a late 70's / early 80's disco electrogroove with a robotic drum-machine beat, overpowering and deep synth bass, some tasty brass hits, an initially static-laden, atmospheric electric piano, some wah-guitar hits, and about halfway through a very slick, reverbed violin motif and moving synth pattern. If there's a downside, it's that the last third doesn't really introduce any new musical constructs but instead sorta summarizes the first two thirds by switching off a bit, then ending on a delayed synth bit. This is a good meat-and-potatoes mix that doesn't try for anything too fancy but gets what it is trying to do right - the sound is sort of between eras, with elements of 70's and 80's genres, and works well with Yuzo's style. Good, solid stuff from Gecko, very enjoyable to listen to and not abrasive or boring. Kudos.
