Harold Faltermeyer's under-appreciated theme tune has been given a russian revisitation. It's a very bold thing to go two minutes without fleshing out the song you are remixing, and 7he Myriads manage to finesse the original in a very period-appropriate fashion. It is part John Carpenter and part Max Payne 2, if that makes any sense. If you have yet to see the film, I suggest you do so before listening to this, then your experience will be complete.

Bird1 (Farfletched Remix)
I'm lowering my standards so I can post more often. Underworld often have lacklustre execution and trite relevance, but this remix brings out the right stuff. The first half of the track is a solid walking groove with a good pace. The lyrical flow begins to mature in the third section and that is where the track becomes memorable and complete. A fine summation of existing elements woven into a steady mood piece that is now part of my permanent collection.
