Jimstander Drago Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 This remix makes me wish I've never played OoT so I could play it and live all those wonderful moments over again. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady zelda Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 So beautiful and soothing. There is perfect use of dynamics on the piano, which just makes it come to life. I can't believe I haven't posted on this yet. You two should collaborate more often. It's wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregfrost Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 I recently listened to this one with headphones again, and I came out of it amazed at the expressiveness of the playing. The dynamic contrasts are handled with a very sensitive touch. It's the sort of thing I would have loved to do when I was taking piano lessons, if I'd had the skill for it. Also, whoever called it on Satie earlier, nailed it. I can't believe I hadn't realized that before now, but it's unmistakable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronoman Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Do we have sheet music for this beautiful mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyMage Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 this song is so delicate and sensitive that its the first stress relief that comes to mind. the short length doesn't bother me one bit since i listen to another soothing relief right after, so this makes a great addition to what i love listening to i wanna learn how to play the piano now...

Liontamer Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I don't regret my vote against this track, as I still felt it could have stood apart from the original more. But it's one of my NO votes that I've greatly enjoyed nonetheless. Gray added some great touches with his available sounds to add much more realism and expression to the sound quality of the piano. I certainly miss the influence and camaraderie he added to the community. But more importantly, David's composition was simply a sure-fire winner no matter what standard you look at it from. Whether it's a piece like this, EarthBound "Nirvana," or others, he's been excellent while keeping the pace demure and deliberate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Ah, this one brings back the late night OoT sessions I had when I was supposed to be sleeping, bleary TV eyes and all. The arrangement here is the winning aspect for the mix. I mean, I really, really love the arrangement. The two themes aren't just slapped together and forced to stick, nor are they mutilated to accommodate each other. They simply mesh in a really natural way, mainly because of the attributes of the piano and the skill of its player. Dhsu has a great way of stripping down really fantastic melodies and flexing them to get the most out of them, without damaging the way we experience them or remember them. This mix is just another stellar addition to an impressive body of work. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_d Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 listening to the "Title Theme" for Oracle of Ages on YouTube sounds nothing like the melody in this remix. But this piano solo is one of my favorites on OCR EDIT: @LinkFX Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkFX Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 The actual song being remixed is called "Sorrow and Despair" and can be listened here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pachi Risu Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Transitions between tracks were very smooth. A delightful remix that runs soothingly from the headphones, or speakers. Nicely done. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 This is one of my favorite Dhsu remixes. It feels even more emotive than his usual work, and captures that tender sense of longing that was present in the original songs. I can't figure out what's going on with the source tunes here but the whole thing feels like an OoT remix to me. Maybe they're the same melody, I dunno. I'm never sure how to properly review piano solos, even though that's my modus operandi when it comes to remixing myself, but let me assure you that I'm extremely moved and touched by what's been created here. Really, really awesome work, I'm glad I discovered this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 pretty emotional performance, and nice clean production. This is good stuff. Sometimes it's best to just let the source speak for itself, and this mix does that beautifully. Amazing stuff, I really enjoyed this one.

Darklink42 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I really enjoy how the two songs actually compliment each other here and near seamlessly slide back and forth. It took me a while to figure out where one gave way to the other. I have to agree that it is really conservative, both on the actual piano playing side, but also on the sticking to the source. But I think the mix does a good job bringing out the emotion of both the songs represented, even if only one is listed at the moment.

Lemonectric Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 My taste in music was pretty narrow back when this was posted. I can say now that I fully appreciate this beautiful tribute. It really brings out the emotion in the original tracks, especially from Ages. I would have liked to be the first with a posted Oracle track, but I can forgive you for making such an amazing remix.

panzi Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Wow, I really REALLY love this ReMix. I love the opening theme from OoT anyway and wish there would be more ReMixes of it. This one is really great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythezza Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 All I have to say about this remix is that I did not want it to end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyluck Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Delicate. Wistful. The latter term is especially pertinent as by this time it seems that GrayLightning was stepping back from ReMixing, as with this and #01464 'Castlevania: Circle of the Moon "Time's Anxiety"' he became "feat. GrayLightning". This ReMix puts to music that sort of wistfulness I've been feeling as I've been going through the catalog from beginning to end and finding that I've come across the last submission of a favorite ReMixer.
