With any new direction or side project comes a flux in support, and certainly that can be said about
Porter Robinson's latest venture,
Virtual Self. Some people love it, some not so much. Whatever you think, the new turn as
Virtual Self isn't without its merits; it brings new music. And new music is pure possibility. Moreover,
Celadon City's edit of "
Key" further showcases Porter's musical brilliance.
While I've heard
the original referred to as DDR music, there's still a strong musicality to those kinds of tracks and "
Key" certainly doesn't shy from that aspect. But whereas the original is utterly exuberant and explosive,
Celadon City pulls back, refining it to a more cinematic, 80s montage. He harnesses the power of
Virtual Self in such an elegant fashion while still invoking the initial roaring spirit.
Not attacking the arc as viciously as a remix,
Celadon City's edit is more of a recast in time and space. This reformed version only gives
Virtual Self a more scintillating sparkle than it already had. I just have to say that after dozen listens (seriously), I'm totally swept away by this one. Maybe I meant
Spirited Away. Whatever. Download "
Key" for your
