This Bladiator/TO collab is actually from The Dark Side of Phobos, and is seeing the light side of OCR just now as it wasn't one of the initially posted tracks and sorta slipped through the direct-post cracks. It's dern good, though: creepy, soundtrackish work that blends a spooky-verbed piano with legato and pizzicato strings, layered electronic and acoustic kits, ambient vocal and white noise fx, and my favorite, these little flutter-trills that remind me of the excellent BGM from HBO's prematurely canceled series Carnivale. It's an unsettling musical effect, not unlike a flying insect buzzing around one's ears; it worked well there, and it works well here, creating an atmosphere of tension, suspense, and most of all unease. From there, the mix doesn't really have what I'd call a melodic direction, but it continues to build percussively and in overall intensity, which is fitting with the genre/tone. The ReMixers make intelligent decisions on instrumentation, with pizzicato fitting the bill perfectly and the distant, almost observant piano floating over the crests of waves created by the underlying arrangement. There's not too much more to say, really; if you're into dark, developing pieces, not necessarily something you can hum and definitely something you'd have trouble dancing to, but atmospheric, nocturnal, swirling, and enveloping, this is definitely something you'll get into.
