The bass melody is poppy and the drumbeats are all nicely done. I sorely miss it, though at the time, it was overused. I love the old-school “orchestra stab” that is used in this song. The melodies are catchy and the beats aren’t overpowering.Īlistair Hirst also offers a rather dramatic sounding track with “Warped”. “Hydrus 606” is a great floating-down-the-river type of song. Rom Di Prisco is the techno/trance artist onboard this ride as he goes ahead and gives us some old-school style techno. It even breaks into a somewhat rock laden song later on. Layering sounds over each other, he was able to create a very original guitar driven country sounding theme with “Snorkeling Cactus Weasel”. Matt Ragan is another artist who “breaks the molds” with his fusion of various styles together. This carries the track, surprisingly all the way through, without regrets. “Flimsy” starts out with a nice little techno build up before breaking into a heavy distorted guitar and bass melody. His tracks, even when eight minutes long, aren’t boring! An eight minute track not being boring might sound like one of the most contradictory things I could say, but it’s true. But, the one that stands out the most is Saki Kaskas. All of the artists present music here that is nothing short of spectacular, which is something that I thought wouldn’t be possible. This is a collaborative production, meaning that there are various artists featured on the in-game soundtrack and accompanying album. If someone tossed that idea out there, I would have looked at them like they lost their mind. If you can even FATHOM that, then kudos to you. Listening to the album through fresh ears, I would have to describe the music as being a cross of various genres, include country, rock techno, drum & bass and trance. Was it techno? Was it straight rock? I just couldn’t remember, so I jumped at the chance to hear a Need For Speed album, and I always liked the third incarnation. I played Need For Speed before, but for the life on me, I couldn’t remember what kind of music played in the background. Need For Speed III -Hot Pursuit- The Album
