Mr. Rival succinctly writes:

"mAEt b0y is the name of the track on the original album. It was named by Danny B himself. *shrug*"

Indeed. Of course, said mix title makes more sense when you factor in Alex's previously preferred moniker, AE, a name that should ring bells made of pure awesome for anyone familiar with his works on OCR & elsewhere. This ReMix, also included on the upcoming special edition of the Super Meat Boy soundtrack which will be released on Monday, combines his larger-than-life, heavy hitting electronica with some really interesting, mangled choir samples that give things an epic, melodramatic flavor. There are plenty of crazy transitions & changeups, a rolling acoustic piano line, huge synth basses, and general sonic mayhem.

Is there more to say? It's A_Rival ReMixing Danny Baranowsky, it's hot, get it, enjoy it... wash, rinse, repeat. Awesome stuff; keep your eyes, ears, & meat on the lookout for the special edition OST release in three days!

Oooh, nice change of pace! The ghastly choir and piano that slides right into evil aggresive wubs and hard hitting beats....that was one of the best intros I've heard in a while. The ReMix is like a dancing chainsaw, that's how gritty it sounds. Yep, dancing chainsaw. That's how I describe it. Damn, I do love a dirty mix every now and then, and this is one dirty mix.

This track sounds downright [i]evil[/i]. Absolutely great.
Love the piano, too. Most of the time, it makes for a creepy atmosphere, but sometimes, when it plays something like a jingle on its very own, it lightens the mood considerably (e.g. at 3:00).

I dunno. The OST is bloody epic.

Great spinning with you last weekend! MAN this track owns, can't believe I just heard it for the first time >B]

Wow, the synthwork for this was balls to the wall. Awesomely mixed. Love it!

Damn, this lives up to its name because it is meaty indeed. Didn't think such an aggressive punchy sound like this would be attempted for OCR, much less direct posted. I want to drop this in a DJ set so badly.
KICK, SNARE, it's unbelivable.

dizzzzam! Even on my little ear buds here at work this track is THICK! Loving it, man. Loving it.

Yeah, I was gonna say this has a sound hugely reminiscent of Noisia, but it looks like others have already pointed it out for me though ;-) I will second the motion though, that this is right up there with a lot of professional-grade D&B I've been hearing lately.
Unbelievably good mix :-D

yes, and yes. I hear Noisia all over the place with some fidgety Skrillex in there for good measure.
Awesome tune all around.
A+++ would listen again

Is it just me, or has the bar for electronica at OCR just been RAISED SKY HIGH? It's about freaking time someone did that! Killer work--one of the most cohesive and punchy mixes, especially electronic, I've heard in a while here. While I'm unfamiliar with the source (I know, I'm a horrible person), this is a completely face-meltingly-awesome mix. Kudos. Plus, it's reminiscent of some of my favorite artists, namely Skrillex and Noisia. :-D

=O... God damn...

D'Oh!
That was the sound I made after waiting for the track to start proper, and then just a *powrightinthekisser*
Hell is probably my favourite track from the OST, and this does pretty well with it, and mashes in some nice used needle work! Sweet stuff.
On a side note. This OST can never get enough love here at OCR. I will officially never complain about there being too much Super Meat Boy coverage. Not that it matters, but my appetite for the meat is insatiable. Mmmmm.... meat meat goodness. Meat.

What just happened... this is incredible stuff! I need to check out AE's back catalogue now cos this is outrageously good.
I don't even know what to say, there's so much amazing production in here, and the beat's got such a nice swing to it. Massive tune.
