A while back I posted a remix of the Plok boss theme that started out as a fairly direct sample of the opening and then went absolutely apeshit berserk in the main segment. Anyway,
A dude named Timothy Seals built a good amount of Mechwarrior 2 covers/remixes/remasters/whatevers a while back and A New Dawn (Bred for War Edition) is suuuuuuper excellent. Some original work mixed in with modern versions of the hits from the original game's OST. I imagine it has been brought up several times on these forums but for some reason I'm thinking about it again. I would love to hear a modern take on the MW2:Mercs OST someday.

DDS1 has aged better for me too, but that battle music in DDS2 is beyond compare.
Well, except for this:

Still waiting on Ace Combat 7's soundtrack to go streaming, though...
