ae - with the quickness

megaman 2 is my favourite of the series, probably because it was the first one i played but mostly for the music. i remember humming the metalman theme all the time back in the day, it was so goddamn infectious. when discovering ocremix and all that jazz, i went straight for the megaman games because the melodies was so strong and it lent so easy for modern electronic makeovers.

with this one, ae or alex esquivel molds the quickman theme into a mental breaks rerub with strong links to squarepusher, hybrid and icey. intro with sounds from the original level kicks along and whacks the track into full mode, ripping it up and then going into a nice airy breakdown that works as a calm before the storm before the onslaught of beats that goes off after, the outro is nice aswell
