I've been wanting to remix at least one song from Star Control 2 for quite some time, but at one point I was a bit put off by the fact that the Precursors team had already created fantastic remixes from basically every theme in the game. Anyway, recently I started working on some remixes again and especially the Umgah theme sparked my interest. It's just so energetic and hilarious.
Baryonic - Genetic Pranksters
In this remix I've gone for a rather chaotic and almost bipolar atmosphere, with a trance lead and some 8-bit-style drum samples thrown in. The intro is a small segment from the Mycon theme (to remind of a certain Umgah-Mycon interaction in the game...) and a short piece of the Pkunk theme can be heard at around 0:23 as well.
Possible concerns at the moment:
-Is it too short? The original theme isn't that much to work with, should I add even more elements from other Star Control themes?
-Is it way too chaotic? It's meant to be a rather humorous remix in style of the original theme, but some might consider the song structure a bit incoherent
