SpookyBlue makes his OCR debut with a well-constructed nostalgia fest in the form of a synth-pop Moon Patrol ReMix. Introing with a myriad of different arcade sounds, complete with a nice arcade ambience to them, the main moon patrol theme - essentially a little riff that does your standard old-school rock'n'roll chord progression - comes in eventually, carried by a fat analog patch and backed by some effective electro drums coupled with percussive analog synth fx. There's good use of doubling, reverb, cross-panning, and filter modulation to assuage the fact that this is basically the one single theme played over and over. BUT, wait, it's not over - we get some really rather groovy organ soloing towards the end, an added surprise and while brief very well done. Things end round-robin, on an audio collage of recognizable 80's game fx and music. The oft-stoic and seldom-verbose Protricity summarizes: "It was pretty simplistic to start out, but I got into the beat, and the soloing. Good job there. The sound effects didnt mess everything up as happens sometimes." - which sounds accurate if succinct to me. Especially with the effects, this is one of those mixes that overtly aims more to capture the nostalgia and "feel" of the early arcade atmosphere, and not as much to do massive reinterpretation, but the soloing adds a lot to a pretty basic theme and the production varies things enough to keep it interesting. Good stuff, and a unique first mix from SpookyBlue.
