Hans Zimmer - DNA ''Man of Steel''

New “Man Of Steel” Score Track

Following an official preview on WaterTower’s SoundCloud, one track from the upcoming Man Of Steel film has made its way online. The soundtrack was composed by Hans Zimmer who talked recently with Rolling Stone magazine about composing the soundtrack.

 ”My inspiration for the music came from trying to celebrate all that is good and kind in the people of America’s heartland, without cleverness or cynicism,” Zimmer said. “Just from the heart. I wanted the epic sound of the fields and farms stretching past the horizon, of the wind humming in the telephone wires. The music is less about the icon that Superman is and more about the outsider with extraordinary powers and his struggle to become a part of humanity.”

You can listen to one track, DNA, above. Man Of Steel comes out in theaters June 14.

Lupe Fiasco/Trigun Mashup

by redmtal

Weekend Remix: Rapper’s Bluff

Song: Lupe Fiasco/Trigun Mashup
By: redmtal
Based On: Big Bluff from Trigun and I’m Beamin’ from Lupe Fiasco
Original Composer: Tsuneo Imahori

This edition of The Weekend Remix is worth at least 60,000,000,000$$, but I swear it didn’t level a city.

Maybe it doesn’t make much sense to do a mashup between one of the world’s lyrically strong rappers in the game and the soundtrack to a Mr. Vash The Stampede. Or maybe it does. One could argue that Fiasco’s deep bars are a perfect compliment to the layered story and characters of Trigun.

But however you wanna slice it, you’ve got to admit that this mashup between Lupe’s I’m Beamin’ and Trigun’s Big Bluff seems tailor made for each other. Interstellar cool crashes onto a dust ball planet of gun battles and sandstorms in redmtal’s mashup, making this sound like something between Danger Mouse, Imahori, and gunfight Westerns.

S3RL - 'Neon Genesis' - Pulse Remix [Relentless Digital] Out Now!!! @ Hardcore Addiction 6

Weekend Remix: Cruel Dance Thesis

Song: ‘Neon Genesis’ Pulse Remix
By: Pulse and DJ S3RL
Based On: ”Cruel Angel’s Thesis” from Neon Genesis Evangelion and Neon Genesis from S3RL
Original Composers:  Yoko Takahashi, Neko Oikawa, Hidetoshi Satō Toshiyuki Ōmori

Prep your Eva-Unit for this edition of the Weekend Remix, as we’re diving into the music of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

“Cruel Angel Thesis” is quite a unique opening for Neon Genesis Evangelion if you think about it. A show whose theme, character, and story-wise is about as heavy as a city-destroying mech would usually warrant a somber or serious sounding opening, at least musically speaking. The lyrics are another story.

Instead, thanks to the insistence of television execs, the show got a hard driving but catchy J-pop shell.

DJ S3RL’s initial remix placed the song on a hardcore techno bent. And thanks to Pulse’ remix of that remix (more layers than Inception at this point folks), the song manages to go further down the techno rabbit hole, speeding up the pitch of the sampled original and layering it against the backdrop setting of some fun acid warehouse rave.

Whether it serves as the soundtrack to an ambitious AMV or a track to get the cosplaying crowd going, Pulse’s remix of this tune is a definite must hear.

Until next weekend… GO Party!

Tactics *Final Fantasy Tactics*

by Mega Ran
album Time and Space, Deluxe Edition

Weekend Remix: Final Rhyme Tactics

Song: Tactics
By: Random Aka Mega Ran
Based On: Decisive Battle from Final Fantasy Tactics
Original Composers: Masaharu Iwata and Hitoshi Sakimoto

Life is often like a tactical role playing game. Instead of rushing in head first to take it on, sometimes one must strategize and plan their moves, while also adapting to any new challenges that come your way. That’s why this week we’re taking a trip to the kingdom of Ivalice for this edition of the Weekend Remix. 

Final Fantasy Tactics may have taken the Final Fantasy franchise into a different gameplay style, but the game still had many of the same thematic and production factors found in any of Square hallmark series, including the music.

Decisive Battle lives up to its name as it’s a dramatic symphony that has just the right amount of punch — especially in the percussion department — to make whatever fight it soundtracks seem as if any move you make has to count.

Through the talented words and production hands of Random, none of  Decisive Battle’s life or death flair is lost. In fact, Random manages to make it seem like a perfect fit, serving as the perfect hard sounding backdrop to his impeccable lyrics. As you’ll hear, the rapper has no problem switching up his flow while making it seem so effortless.

With Ran’s class abilities as a rapper and producer at the top, consider this remix mastered.

If you’d like to hear more Mega Ran, check out Time and Space, his latest EP TRAP, or… really check out any of his many albums and Eps. You can’t go wrong. And for those in the UK, be sure to catch him on tour. 

Until next weekend… GO Party!
