Pay attention to the artwork. This is the key. First 1/3 is Jan Hammer influenced, second 1/3 is Giorgio Moroder influenced. and third 1/3 is straight up Faltermeyer. More specifically; Miami Vice, Scarface, and Beverly Hills Cop. The reason why the transition between part 1 and 2 is so powerful is because they are thematically connected (miami, drugs) whereas the transition between 2 and 3 is less believeable and feels more forced.
hmm, what a nuanced take. Its almost as though the first picture should be in the middle, then just the helicopters create a better thematic transition at least
Die Hard, Miami Vice, Beverly Hills Cop, Scarface, GTA Vice City, Terminator 2 and Against All Odds come to mind when listening to this would have been soundtrack piece to a late 80’s early 90’s action film
For me the artwork and the music matches up perfectly. Very evocative! I have to say, I prefer part 2 and 3 over 1. Though part 1 is till great in its own right. Awesome piece of music matched with some awesome artwork!
A unit of a track. Epic, rad, ace, dark, groovy, hip and square. Everything is just so pleasing in this 3 part concept track. Melodies, transitions, quality of production. How can you slap so much, Mr. Murder? Listener, do yourself a favour and look at the artwork. It tells the story of the 3-part song, maybe as Mitch intended it.
Hey man when are you going to release some more shirts? I've been going to dxseven for a while and am always disappointed to not see any more shirts available. You are a big inspiration to my own music production, and I'd love to rock one of your shirts!
