After the explosion of industrial manliness that wasMega Man X: Maverick Rising, it would stand to reason that the musicians of the OverClocked ReMix collective would be pretty damn tired. Time to enjoy some much-needed R&R, am I right, fellas? Yeah, well, Drew “halc” Wheeler is a beast and wasn’t about to go on some bullsh*t vacation!

With the help of Benjamin Briggs, halc producedTake Flight, a short, seven-track album that honors thePilotwingsseries. Combining modern electronica and nostalgia-tickling chiptunes, the album takes you on a journey through the SNES, N64, and 3DS installments of the franchise — speaking of which, the track “Depth Perception” is the first 3DS arrangement on OC ReMix! Congrats, guys!
