ReMix:Mega Man X "Braincooler" 4:46

1:23 feels like a decisive turning point. Why? It follows an initial run through part of the source not unlike a scout on reconnaissance, who then beckons the rest of an army onward toward some great purpose, like attacking a fort or storming a castle. The bass, percussion, and 5-notes-then-4 pattern are all saying "we're heading out. The mix is on the march."

The bulk of the breakdown vividly encapsulates a cavern setting (as djp pointed out), particularly 2:12+ with its icicle-soft synthwork and 2:55 with its "high up with the stalactites" edge of loneliness.

3:40+ is another momentous section of Braincooler, what with its key change and 3:48's melodic creativity. To me, this is where the mix is really starting to spread its wings and fly to more promising places as long as it keeps evolving. It sure has the momentum to do so.

Rozovian already saw the writeup one of my authors did on my blog for this track, but in case anyone else wants to check it out, the link is above.

I'm real picky with what synths people select in a track...and I believe this one was actually done well and great enough for me to leave a comment.

Always like Rozo's stuff. I expect more of it.

Yes, I remember digging it up off the WIP forums and liking it then... it's just as good now

I always love how Rozo picks such cohesive sets of synths and sounds for each of his remixes, it makes everything silky smooth and nothing ever sticks out like a sore thumb. It's easy to get lost in his remixes because of this quality.

This is a nice benchmark for him in terms of production and sound design, but after hearing what he's done in tracks like "Eye of the Storm," I can see how much he's improved in a short time. Nice work all around, Rozo!

Here's one I forgot to comment on. Always liked the WIP, and the finalized version is really something special. I think it's been said but if you have any love for the Chill Penguin track, you can't go wrong with this one.

It's that "chill eletronica" (ohohoho, chill in a chill penguin track, ohohoho) that Rozovian has worked their magic with in other tracks like "Eat Your Own Dust", and it's a style I know I'll keep coming back to.

Not bad at all.

Main lead is well developed; reminds me of the Jazz Jackrabbit 2 soundtrack, in a good way.

Nice one. The remix manages to catch the whole 90's video game vibe perfectly; I think it might be the lead that evokes this feeling.

I really like this one. It somehow seems very fresh.

Great job.

Hey man you ended up doing a nice job finishing your song. i had forgotten all about this track until i just saw it posted. sorry again for getting sidetracked and not helping you in any way with this song, but you obviously didn't need help great track and look forward to hearing more from you! we should try and collab again soon hit me up with a pm

Bloody beautiful. Energetic enough to not put you to sleep, not so energetic that you feel hopped up on redbulls. Nicely done sir.

FANTASTIC! A while ago I stumbled upon this mix in the WIP boards and I have been eagerly awaiting it ever since . My favorite section was probably from 1:08 to 1:24 .

Any way you look at it this mix is a great listen. Glad you were able to get it posted!

I loved the middle of the song, it felt so relaxing and calm. Nice and chill. The sound effects you added in the beginning were a nice touch. I really enjoyed the mix.

If you love megaman X's cold stage, then you'll love this. I am beyond speechless of the intro of that nice techno like synthisier, hence the reason of it's title: "Brain cooler".

The sound track is not so much as being techno, but lightly with all other instruments being sounded that matches its beauty and old school technique of its originality. Without a doubt, this is one of the best examples, works, and originality of Megam man sound tracks.

Hands down /o,o/ great job.

This mix makes me want to jog. Then, it just makes me want to stare out the window at falling snow. Then, it makes me want to fly in the sky. It just evokes so many emotions...it's so chill and intense at the same time. Awesome!!!

i cant front i didnt really like this when i first heard it...but the next thing i know i was bopping my head so thats a really really good thing. i like how youve managed to pull this off with a nice chill feeling but also with a lot of energy the only thing that threw me off the first time was the pitch bends but after a while i got used to it. good job man cant wait to see whats next.
