LeonHeart of the Flame's first posted submission is from Dreamcast (and later Gamecube) classic Skies of Arcadia. By sheer coincidence, I've just been to see STOMP recently - if you ever get the chance, don't pass it up, these guys and gals are amazing and from musical, dance, and showmanship perspectives equally impressive. This mix bares their single-verb title I would assume in a sort of homage, as the intro to this mix - and its salient characteristic - is a great variety of percussive activity. LeonHart brings in acoustic guitar (sounds like a soundfont I recognize from somewhere...), a pipe lead, a questionable but not awful saxophone, strings, a nice synth bell pad, and myriad assorted backup instruments, but it's the drums that essentially take center stage and push the song along. It's quite dramatic, however, and has something of a Celtic feel to it. There's also nice The Who-style "Baba Yaga" underlying, quick synth patterns. While some polish and/or better samples could have been used to bring certain aspects of the melody/harmony up to the level of the drums, nevertheless the overall effect works and is creative and unique, too. Good, promising stuff from LeonHeart of the Flame.
