At first, I thought this was just another generic remix. Ya know... NESkimos or Minibosses-style. Guitars and heavy drums. Boring stuff like that. Then I heard the lyrics and decided that this was indeed worth listening to after all.
The lyrics seems to carry a message of loneliness, shining an altogether different light on Airman in general. No ego. No will of his own, to a degree. A force of destruction and a machine made simply to terrorize Neo Tokyo. (Or "Monsteropolis", as per the US manual.) This is what he was built to do. He wants to defeat anyone who comes near him...but he also wants the freedom his clouded realm seems to promise. He doesn't want to be a minion forever. He wants to fly. But he knows he can't have that, so he kind of snaps and just decides to carry out his programming in a rather extreme fashion. I guess the song is a bit of a contradiction in and of itself if you listen to the lyrics, but it's pretty good altogether. I think it's worthy of a Japanese music video a'la "You Can't Defeat Airman!" or "Omoide wa Okkusenman" and I think it's worth listening to as well. Nicely done! ...now make a Springman remix. X3

Kinda reminded me of the Beatles for some reason. Cool remix.

I think it's safe to say this is the first time I've been moved by the lyrics in a video game track, arranged or otherwise. Bravo, guys, bravo.

This is an awesome song, the lyrics rock. The bridge at 2:40 is really well done, I absolutely love it.

Nice, nice. Interesting lyrics. Nice singing. Meshes well with the Air Man melody. Love the screaming towards the end...very SOAD. Love the guitars and drums, guys.

Sweet mix. I wish it popped out more, but I thought the new vocals added a lot to this, very personalized. Definitely checking your other stuff!
