Call it instinct, but I knew this would be next. Back in 2006, Vurez made 4 Mega Man VI remixes, but this is the first one by someone else. I hope either Dust Crusher or Power Stone is next after this. I hope the other 3 robot masters for MM VI get a track soon.

This is my favorite track off the album. The instrumentation really gives it a distinct feel. I love it!

It was well made, and a lot of people are going to like it, but it was way too laid back for me.

@GTAHater836 Vurez has mixes for ALL the MM6 Robot Masters, he just didn't get them all posted here. They're on his site.

Awesome semi-club-banger mixed in with some kabuki drama; It really can't be said any better than WesternZypher did.

I really enjoy the hard panned synth/stacatto panflute/whatever that enters in at 2:01, and the steady beat and sidechained synths sound great pulsing underneath some more organic sounds. The ending is straight up crazy robot malfunction, and it sounds *awesome*.

I went through the intro expecting awesome kabuki-ness. Oh, I got awesome kabuki-ness... MIXED WITH EPIC FUNKY DANCE-NESS.

Funk bias? None at all. Don't believe me? Listen. The creativity in this... the pure awesome bottled inside... you could sell it and make a fortune. AND ITS FREE.

MOAR MORSE CODE FOR ME, PLEASE!

Again, here's what I've said about this track.

Breakdown at 2:29. Source returns at 3:00. This is phenomenal; Mega Man ain’t ever been this sexy! The end is near at 4:20 or so.

Hehe, Yamato Man - clearly one of the more more ridiculous Robot Masters in terms of design; no one had any idea that it would end up being one of the more quirky and rememberable robot masters in the entire series.

Even here it's an appropriate tribute - fusing together Morse's signature beats with traditional instrumentation, the source has been handled in a very tasteful funk while going through strictly pentatonic scales (appropriate given the source selection). The source itself is handled tastefully; appears hidden within the mood build in the intro before making more of a dignified presence around past the 1:30 mark. That similar presence is made within the last minute too, though there's even some original writing merit at 2:30 as the source manages to take a backseat through some solid gate manipulation and a well programmed shakuhachi solo - one of the huge highlights of the track for me.

This to me feels like bliss; just like with "Slash Claw", he paid homage to Yamato Man's roots and fused it with his signature funk-driven style with this tasteful, well programmed arrangement. A great way to pay homage to an otherwise overshadowed title in the classic Mega Man series :D

Heh, nice funky-semi-Japanese ReMix you got here, Morse. Yamato Man really was ridiculous, but his theme was still good, and you really expanded on it with some groovin' jazz beats. I love how you were able to keep some ethnic feel to this ReMix while making it into something you can really dance to. I wasn't crazy about the glitchy part right around 2:50,but other than that one small thing, I loved this tune. Truly nice work, man.
