Crash Bandicoot 2 - N.Gin (PRC126)
Outline
I went for the second game in the series, primarily because it stands as one of my favorite PS1 games and a major influence on my videogame playing progression in my preteen years. The levels were challenging without either being too frustrating or requiring too many gimmicks, the art style was a breath of fresh air at that moment in time, the bosses are among some of the more creative, and even so I feel this also hosts one of the better soundtracks that the original composers at Mutato Muzika put together.
Narrowing down the source tune was a very hard task for me, but in the end I ended up looking towards a combination of popularity in the requests forums and the remixability. The boss theme I ended up picking here is well structured and can have some interesting melodic parts to end up interpreting in more ways than one. Plus, who can't resist chucking all the fruit you collected in the game so far towards a giant hovering mech controlled by a half-man half-cyborg scientist?
And in case you didn't know, the boss in question has a notoriously short temper. Rub this PRC the wrong way, and you might become barbecue meat by this time next week."

If there was a robot boss called Microsoft Sam in some game, this would be his battle theme =P

So, I went to bed, but couldn't sleep because I was thinking about something that I needed to do, but hadn't already.
Then I realized that I hadn't made an entry for the competition yet and ran to my computer, tripping over my cat. So, I have the 'crash' part down.
Not really feeling the source in any manner, so half of this sounds slapped together and half-arsed. Hopefully somebody will at least enjoy it.
Once again, I have no time for mastering if I want any sleep at all. Good night folks.

Eh, this is the problem when I try to think of a title that mashes the idea of fighting a giant mech with wumpa fruit. Snappleman is going to send a lawyer on me for sure!
So anyway, I saw the theme as a good way to play around with some of the effects filters on my keyboard and attempt something a little more casual than what I'd normally do. For some reason, the rhythms in some parts of the song and some of the instrument choices also meandered a bit towards Latin notation progressions as well, so that kind of heightened the fruit necessities and all, lol.
