If you're looking for subtlety, you won't find it here. I don't think it should cause Beatdrop much umbrage for me to qualify this as a mix that doesn't focus on little details, and instead goes for the jugular with a hard edge, infectious groove, and hooks-a-plenty. If you're allergic to four-on-the-floor or synthaphobic in any way, this won't be your thing, because the beat is definitely down and synth after synth, with layering to built up a dense wall of electronica, are employed in "thunderous" fashion. If the syncopation on a grainy saw bass isn't conspicuous enough for you, the gradated digital synth timbres that cover melody should do it, and towards the end there's some flamboyant but very catchy hybrid pad/leads that jump and gate all around. Raiden always struck me as one of the truer, oldschool/hardcore shooters, and its soundtrack works well taken in this direction. While it's true there's not much emphasis on refinement or dynamics, the energy is here, and it's here because Dain's put together some memorable synth leads and hooks that have punch and presence. The entrance at 2'39" is just extremely danceable in all ways - fun. If you know you like well-constructed, direct techno that's full-force and all about synths over beats, you can't go wrong. Good subject matter, great energy.
