> I bought both this and the Linford one back in the day, cause I’m high school electronic action music was my jam. Haven’t heard either in many years.

LOL.

I think if Linford had eschewed trying to use samples that sounded like orchestral instruments he would've been better off. That library of sounds did that album no favors. Morris' album didn't have the same 'my ears!' problem, and Holkenborg wouldn't even bother trying doing anything other than underground music for his 2007 entry.

> Love it bud! Been way more Rabin than I was expecting after constantly skipping him in the beginning haha.

I'll admit ignorance played a part. But Con Air didn't show up in Rabin's album list on Spotify (it's in the 'appears on' section), and Armageddon I skipped because the commercial album is incomplete. And I think Jack Frost was only released on Rabin's 2020 box set Changes - physical media only. I will probably address the first two once I get to the end of the Remote Control era (2005-12), along with other odds & ends.

I admittedly have enjoyed exploring Rabin's works more than I thought I would. It hasn't quite been the revelation that Mark Mancina's output has been, but the below ratings breakdown (including some stuff I haven't published yet) is still nothing to scoff at.
