Just one quick post tonight, but it's the first submission in a long time from the one and only AE. If that doesn't mean anything to you, take some time to explore this site more thoroughly - those that have will almost certainly tell you that some of the very best electronica, technically AND musically, can be found in AE's wundermixes from the Mega Man games. The blue bomber has consistently gotten red carpet techno treatment from AE, and this latest Quickman ReMix provides a healthy and long overdue dose of more powerful + potent retronica for your ears to enjoy. With more than a few new tricks up his seemingly endless sleeves, AE goes in some new directions here, at time transitioning into more ambient territory, and even some jazz voicings, while also exhibiting some technical trickery on the processing / production end of the spectrum. Basically, it's this simple: if you like techno at all, you need this ReMix, pronto. It's yet another track that's too dense with musical gems and points of interest to begin to comprehensively detail here - it's what I'd call a "no-brainer" download for at least 90% of the OCR-listening public, so such detail would largely be filler regardless. Importantly, though, it does show that AE has grown and is going new places and doing new things, though he's still retained razor-sharp technical skills in the process. Five minutes of highly recommended music, to understate.
I'm surprised that this dates back as far as 2002, and also that it was his departing mix to mark his much-too-long hiatus. But talk about going out on a high note, this is the penultimate AE mix. It's hyperactive, thoughtful and so Mega Man it hurts. It could only be AE.

This mix takes its source and really goes places with it.
And I especially like that charging up at 2:52. Great stuff. :nicework:

Couldn't agree more.
When he charges from 1.39 to slowly up until 2.53,
and just goes KILL FRENZYY! Amazingly well done.
Woah.. this is so good music.
Made my times in the car today so much better.

You joined only to say that?
Apparently, AE is back. I wouldn´t know, since my record only goes back to this summer, but according to this, it was an astounding comeback.
Most of the times this mix wasn´t all about getting the melody rolling and have fun with the synths, but more like used the instruments to create a masterpiece beyond our very minds.
The synths and beats was great, and here and there AE managed to add some more classical instruments like piano and strings.
And for the grand finale, he used many sounds from the game itself to create a more chaotic but also more thrilling feel to it, and then finish it completely with more beautiful instruments.
AwesomE remix AE, truly.
