DESCRIPTION:
The mix title had a French saying in it originally. Then people in the comments couldn't agree on whether or not it was grammatically correct. So I changed the title to something a little more clear. Don't complain about grammar in my comments section, especially if you can't come to a consensus about what's right and wrong about it. Please.
My recent hospitalization did have one positive outcome to it (besides bettering my long-term health, of course): I came home from school for around a week's time to recover. That left me plenty of time to work on this mix - or more accurately, get inspiration to make this mix on the last day of my mini-vacation and edit it together in a matter of a couple hours. xD
For this mix, I combined my new-found love for boss intros with the Instrumental, Maniac Agenda, and Original/Demo mixes of this track. Mistral's cut-scene intro theme had some sound effects in the soundtrack version that I couldn't extract, so instead, I played around with the video a bit for your entertainment. Otherwise, the mix is fairly standard, though it was surprisingly complex to piece together in comparison to something like The Only Thing I Know for Real. Well played, Mistral.
There are a few transitions that I think could be better, but overall, I'm pretty satisfied with how this one turned out. It's crazy to think that I only have a couple more mixes left before I have something for every boss in the game. I honestly didn't think I was gonna get anywhere near to this sort of collection when I started, that's for sure. O.o
"A Stranger I Remain" and "Mistral, The Cold Wind of France" were composed by Jamie Christopherson, as a part of the OST for "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". I claim no ownership of the original works, but I do claim responsibility for mixing these two together to create the final product that you're listening to.
As always, hope you enjoyed the mix!
