DESCRIPTION:
Heh, get it? "RAY"-mix? Ha ha...I don't get it and I made the joke.

So here you go, another boss mix from MGRR. This one took a hell of a lot more effort to make than the first one, because the way the song works during the boss fight is that it keeps fading in and out of the refrain of the instrumental version every time you go into Blade Mode to cut the armor or guns. So I had to make that transition sound at least somewhat coherent while still maintaining the flow of the song, and let's just say that involved a lot of...CUTTING around...

Dammit, where are all these puns coming from?! xD

In addition to that, this fight is a two-parter, so I had to determine what was the best way to bridge the two phases together. I ended up playing the end of Rules of Nature in reverse as a means of building up the second phase, and I'd say it worked out. It created a little bit of tension and suspense, too, which I liked.

All in all, I'm pleased with the final product. It was definitely more challenging than Collective Consciousness, but it's all the more rewarding to have finished it that way. I will say, though...I'm glad they went a little easier on the music choreographer for later boss fights. This one had to have been hell for him to edit together, lol.

"Rules of Nature" was composed by Jamie Christopherson, as a part of the OST for "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance". I claim no ownership of the original works (the vocal nor the instrumental versions), but I do claim responsibility for creating this mix to better represent the boss battle that it accompanies.

Hope you enjoyed the mix! More to come eventually, if I get the drive and energy to do so.
