Newcomer Rellik starts this ReMix out with some badass filtering effects so right away you know he means business. Kinda like striking that initial martial arts pose with the crazed look in your eyes and what not before doing the whole Karate Kid routine. Things are pretty frenetic up until about 1'26" where the chaos cuts out and there's a cool, stripped-down solo synth on melody and a simpler beat with very spacy, distant pads. There's a particular sound effect in the previous, more frantic section that's a little grating, so this break into more open space is all the cooler - sort of like emerging from a storm to a clear horizon. From there on out Rellik fills out the piece with a good deal of tradeoffs and builds, with acid 303, filtered synth patterns, and basically all the staple foods of a solid techno track, but mixed up and sauteed to a fine sizzle by the chef. Mr. Ansari writes:
"Very interesting mix. I didn't like that arpeggiator at the opening, but it disappeared soon enough. Lots of nice percussion stuff going on, and yeah, it's very off-the-wall. Some of the processing stuff reminds be of SirNuts' stuff, in a good way. Nice sounds, interesting arrangement."
There ya have it - this is something that transitions enough to not be what I'd call ideal surfing or driving music, but instead is just fun to listen to and focus on, for the processing, the turns, and a unique take on the source material. Good stuff.
The grittiness of the high sounds combined with the energy of the melodies seal the deal on this one. It gives you a spacey feel, almost like you're blasting off on an adventure.
Props, man.

Hey, would it be alright if I made an animation for this theme sometime in the near future? It's inspired me to make a sort of Sonic vs. Mecha Sonic action sequence, and I have quite a few scenes already in my head...

This sounds incredible. !!! THOSE ARE PSR 290 SOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh this is called inspiration. I own a PSR 290 and didnt know I could make these kinds of sounds with it. OK bakc to the review lol. Countermelody is fitting in greatly with the regular melody and this sounds majestic after it drops out. New melody break in fits nicely wiht everything else. Break down is nice but a little to "light" for this song. End is coming and you can basically tell the closeout so you've fitted everything together nicely Rellik. Nice ending. I don't really have any thing negatove to say aboutthis song except that you went as far as you had to. You could've probavbly gone alot farther with the chaotic synth stuff though. Great piece nevertheless. I know have one more techno piece to add to my list!
PSR 290? The yamaha keyboard? No it isent even close these are called VSTs
Anyways as always your work is very good rellik. I really like the way you scliced up the come on sounds. And I love the bass synth. 1:06 was my favorite part, I would of never thought of that to be a transition. This is a great example of what FL can do.ANyways great job.
