    First of all, check out [email protected]

    Second, I like this mix that re-frames the soundtrack as an EP:

    1. Init/Shadow Over Me
    2. I Know You Can Feel It
    3. Target Identified/Infiltrator/As Alive As You Need Me to Be
    4. Who Wants to Live Forever?
    5. New Directive

    So you got the 4 lyrics songs, introduced by the instrumentals that echo them, and with a 5th instrumental song as the end credits. It’s basically an EP, so you can compare it to the events/violence/witch EPs.

    It’s a slight step down. With the previous EPs, I get the feeling Trent and Atticus had new ideas they wanted to explore. For this EP, it sounds like they were hired for a job. (hey nothing wrong with that, but the motivation’s different.)

    “Init/Shadow Over Me” is ok, kinda standard. “I Know You Can Feel It” is probably the best of the four, though still just re-hashing older ideas. “Target Identified/Infiltrator/As Alive As You Need Me to Be” is a great song but I associate it too much with that trailer involving the guy from Morbius. “Who Wants to Live Forever?” really should be the best song, BUT by all the gods that woman’s voice is so weak! Is that some kinda post-ironic thing they’re going for that I just don’t get? “New Directive” is just another instrumental, the person who remixed this coulda left it off. Tho I do gotta say I like how the instrumentals reference both Daft Punk ‘s and Wendy Carlos’ soundtracks.
