Streets of Rage 2

Many of you remember, and SHOULD remember, the last time these two tuneful & talented troublemakers teamed up on an excellent Tetris 'ultimix'. It was a smashing success, by any measure, and now they're back at it again with this slightly hip-hop / jazzy / pop ReMix from the legendary Streets of Rage 2. I can't help but guess that Yuzo would be proud if he heard the way these two have implemented an awe-inspiring acoustic guitar riff, pulsating synth bass, CLASSIC McVaffe (?) Piano riffage all over the place, some nice processing effects (see exactly 2 minutes in) and everything else into a sonic whirlwind of arranged Streets of Rage 2 goodness. I'd say this is the finest piece yet by both of them in terms of overall package, presentation, style, processing. It's VERY tight. Check it.

I made a quick [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MlW2W1xIog"]mash-up[/URL] of this with Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg. This is actually the first ReMix I used for a mash-up, so great job McVaffe!

Good tune, just found myself waiting for the Utah Saints to pipe in and sing, "I can move move move any mountain..."

Nice mix that's stood the test of time. Kind of a chilled out version (at least I think so) of Under Logic. Very cool and creative use of acoustic guitar. Piano, of course, is classic McVaffe.
So, who's the other mixer DJP refers to in the writeup?

Badass Posse is right! This is perfect music to listen to while wandering the tough streets, maybe with a burst of impromptu dancing, and snapping your fingers in time.
The synths and acoustic guitars are nicely balanced on their respective left and right turfs, and when the acoustic makes a quick dash into enemy territory, the effect is startling and pretty cool.
The drums are very nice, and the rhythms don't change a lot, but the fills are all very interesting.
The best part is near the end though, with both the panning guitar and drum breakdown, and then comped piano solo.
Awesome work, and highly recommended.

Compared to Gecko's fizzy version this one sorta falls flat. It is not without its charm though! The ranges of sound in this mix are a bit tamer than the outrageous collection of sounds used in Gecko's mix but it all works nicely. I dig the guitar and piano. All in all this is solid MCV work. Hes just on a different level than the rest of us!

More jazzy from McVaffy
I'm feeling the vibe

[b]Nice, McVaffe! [/b]
Pleasant the part that touches to the [b]01:57[/b], when the strokes move. The piano sounds pretty. :)

Some of the background of this rather cool track is reminiscent of [i]Protection 1[/i] by the disturbingly weird group Coil...

Pretty basic percussion, a good, tough acoustic guitar (patch, I believe), some good piano, and good composition skills - I would expect nothing less out of McVaffe. It has some cool solo's and mixups, and is a pretty good mix, but it's not as masterful as some of McVaffe's other mixes (such as Super Mario 64 'Liquid Mario', Sonic 3 'IceCapped', and Castlevania 4 'CastleTrance'). It fits the title well, though.

Streets of Rage 2 'Badass Posse'
This is pretty badass. Great percussion and piano and guitar and just
everything. it's the kind of arrangement just you want to smile and listen
to. It's just fun.
