Mark Vera sends us this industrial/ambient Star Control 2 ReMix, part of the Ur-Quan Masters project's mixes by the Precursors Team - for those not in the know, this is really a cool project that involved the Star Control 2 source code being opened to the public and picked up by a group of talented programmers and composers/arrangers to update the game for multiple platforms. So that game itself has been "ReMixed" too, in a sense - definitely check it and some of the other great tracks out, great work from all involved, and the Precursors Team includes one of the original SC2 composers as well. This mix is a bit more style over substance, and does rely pretty heavily on sample quality and sonic aspects than the arrangement itself, but has some kickass choir work, amazing drums, and very atmospheric screaming and general torture sounds. For some reason, most of the judges didn't like the guitar here, but I think it works fine; user experience may vary. There's loads of effects, samples, and processing being thrown about here, but it's all kept under firm control and has the feel of a dark, authoritarian regime taking power and being evil and what not (insert comment about U.S. politics here) - at any rate, not music you'd play at a daycare center or old folks home... although that'd be quite fun to watch. Some of the mechanical percussion breakdowns here are worth the download in and of themselves - very slick and packing mucho gusto. This could have been a bit more explorative on the arrangement side of the equation, but the level of effort and attention spent elsewhere can't be overlooked. Great mix title, too. Good stuff.
