Special shout-out to Gario for Rudy's Electronic Temptation. Easily my favorite piece of the album, and no mention of it so far in this thread.

I only have a couple things to say. (Not much can be said with the talents of bLiNd (who I'm extremely biased for :D) and everyone else who contributed to this project. There isn't a song I hate here.)
1) This album has convinced me to play Wild Arms from the PS store. I haven't purchased it yet, but will be. If it has inspired this many people to come together to do this many remixes, I don't need much more convincing, and I'm not even sure how I missed this RPG in the first place back then.
2) "Inner Light" is one of the most EPIC remixes I have ever heard from this site. Amazing job guys. I usually have to hear the source to appreciate a remix, but this is simply astounding on its own.

Funny this is the very reason I am loving the first 2 discs, but then again I am partial to electronic music. To be fair, I still haven't processed discs 3 and 4 yet so I can't compare, but I have really enjoyed the cohesive sound so far overall.

Having now gotten through the whole thing, I can definitely say there was a lot more cool stuff on discs 3 and 4.

Actually, I had the same sort of sentiments. Don't get me wrong, I love the tracks - but it does take a while for the really awesome full orchestral stuff to pop up. But damn is that a cool moment. Some of my favorite tracks are on disc 3.

Un-fucking-believable! 3 albums full of people's hard work being stolen and sold for profit by these scumbags.
Weren't the links taken down in less than a day last time, when the same case happened with LD?

This cannot be stressed enough. For great justice!

Uh, this is the first time that's happened to me. I feel kind of violated.
And they even had the audacity to list me as THE Archangel. Some nerve.
Also, I've finally got the time to listen to the entire album. Extremely enjoyable. I love it when there's so much genre variation in an album, so thanks a lot to everyone who contributed their music! I've never played Wild Arms, but after hearing this album, I'm certainly tempted to try, to say the least. =)

I think it's the same site that tried to sell Lucid Dreaming a while back.

I haven't had time to listen to the whole album just a few tracks, but they are stuck in my head which says a lot about the remixes. There are only two themes of the original OST which stuck, first the Opening Into the wilderness and there's another track which doesn't seem to be on the OST called Extreme Decisions, I ripped it from the PSF package. BTW does anybody else know this track. Too bad this didn't get remixed (at least so far)

Just wanted to say I love this album. That's all. Guy in my sig says it all.

So I didn't realize there was an album review thread, so I'd been posting my comments in the announcement thread lol. So here was my brief review!
Now that the album has been out a few weeks, I've had the chance to listen through it a few times. So I just wanted to say thank you and congratulations to Jade and all the mixers that contributed to the project! It exceeded my (incredibly high and hype-driven) expectations in every possible way! Honestly I have to admit I was a little skeptical that a project of such a large scope could be of equally high quality, but I was wrong. Every song on here sounds beautifully arranged, well-produced, and very enjoyable. I won't even try to name some of my favorites, there are so many. I really like how this remix project feels like a natural extension of the original soundtrack. It sounds like Wild Arms and reminds me of Wild Arms, yet is completely original in it's own right. It somehow strikes the perfect balance between recognizable, nostalgic melodies and original, interpretative re-arrangement. I can't describe it, but it just feels right.
Again, great job everyone! This is amazing!

Mazedude's track is appropriately :evil: and I loved it, too.

Thanks!! I appreciate you taking the time to comment...
