Good stuff here, solid mix with a nice mesh of genres. Not something I'm going to burn so I can hear it in the car, but definitely worth a download.

The introduction is pretty conservative, but it's not a problem for me... because the beats, of course, is what really makes this work, along with the great leads. There is a lot of good use of the motive, a lot of decent interpretive material. Solid work.

One thing that I would comment on is that the distorted snares sound very close to my ears - they are very close to the front to the soundscape, which distracts from the mix, but it may be the fact that I listen to most mixes on headphones. This would be the only thing that would bother me about the mix. I found that some of the backing harmony was a bit dirty for my taste as well, but chalk that up to personal preference.

I dig the clean piano against the distorted synths, though. Breakdown and the beats at 2:07 are great - lead is awesome at 2:14. Build up and the filtering at 2:53? Sweet touch.

Good work here, MaJIN SaN, ambient, and tomatsu. Way to land yourself on OCR's front page!

Hm, well, it's a good mix. I definitely love the piano intro. The judges complained about the piano being mechanical but I don't have any gripes with it. It brought back a fuzzy warm feeling of nostalgia for me and led into the beat that picked things up considerably. Some of the synths were rubbing my ears the wrong way just a tad bit but nothing to make me grind my teeth. Personal preference there.

The only thing I really think keeps this from going into my playlist is the fact that I don't think there's enough going on. There are a lot of sections where it feels a little too empty for me, instrument-wise. While I couldn't make any suggestions for what you could have added, something a little extra to keep my attention would have been nice.

It was worth the download though and it makes me want to play Mega Man again. :) Keep up the good work.

I'm not going to write some overly extravagant and pointless synopsis that no-one will read.

I like it.

Reminds me of old-school OCR.

The good old-school OCR, that is.

Well, it's not my favorite sound, but I will agree that it is well put together. I guess I've just moved away from the Techno and more towards the orchestral and jazz

The begining is what grabbed me the most. Does anyone else think that it sounds like Transformer Man, by Neil Youing?

Absolutely stupendous and bitching at the same time, I don't see the need for the negativity some people may gave this, but its quite good and kept me entertained to keep listening and enter the world of the almighty playlist.

Intro was a bit cliche, but after that, it sounded cool =)
