What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[DarkeSword]

Ooooh....listening now. Very smooth. I can see what DJP is talking about with the hi-hat. It really works well with the guitar to give this piece momentum. 1:12 is especially sweet; nice marchy beat you got there.

The percussion really makes this piece; granted everything else is top-notch, but for me, it's attention to the hats that makes this one a keeper.

Around 2:30 is nice too, coming out of the break; I really like the subtle choir pad in the background. Excellent.

As I am often inclined to say:

SOLID!!™

[rodtod]

Very nice, but those aren't triplet beats on the hi-hat :wink:

Glad to see another non-electronica piece. I've been meaning to make a South American style remix, and seeing as how Starblaze's mellow-but-groovin' mix made it onto the site, it gives me even more incentive! 8)

[Kaden]

Very nice song. Like it alot man, and good work on it.

They're triplets, but thanks for your comments. :wink:

[wethamster]

wow this remix is realy good, why dont we hear more well aranged acustic music here. i dont know but if once and awhile came somthing like this, youd be seing a much happy hamster doing the happy dance. ^^

[Psycrow]

Great to listen to for many listens :)
I love upbeat & mellow stuff, and this is really top notch.

*edit* the guy above me has a wierd review! 8O :roll:

[Wang]

:D i remember this from the WIP forums

this mix is awesome

watever you're doing starblaze keep it up cuz i havent met a mix of yours i didnt like

[Trent]

One of the few CC remixes that isn't Timescar, pretty nice. But I can't help but wonder why the ID3 says Capcom for the copyright tag.

[Majin GeoDooD]

Ahh I love this piece ever since you sent it to me Starblaze, you know what I think of it ;).

[rodtod]

They're triplets, but thanks for your comments. :wink:

*listens to it again*

Oh! I get it now, the very quick trills on the hi-hat are triplets. I thought dj Pretzel was refering to the main hi-hat beat, but that's in sixteenth notes. Ok, sorry for the confusion :)

[RiceLikeWhoa]

Good Shit

[Noon]

The complete mood and essence of the game is captured in this remix! I truly appreciate such goodness to be found on OCR. Thanks, Starblaze, for such a meaningful interpretation of the song!

[Neimonster]

This reminds me of the Little Big Adventure music. Not my style, but good stuff ;)

[Dark Heart]

a song to keep you in one of them moods...but its not really to my likings of being downloaded I can hear it over and over but I don't think I will download this song...

[Samuru]

I just had to post and tell you how much I liked this one. A lot of Chrono Cross remixes are like, "ok", but yours stood out for me. I love how relaxing it is, and it's good that you used a different song besides the intro because of all the great music there is in Chrono Cross to choose from. So yea..um...it was awesome.

[Child of Kirby]

Wow. A remix of my favorite track? I never knew I'd hear it.

It's not in my style, but it's good sauce anyway.

[mCee]

you did beautifully on this, starblaze
i was in a horrible mood and having terrible headaches when i got up and i listened to this song for the first time and with the beautiful acoustic music, etc everything just seems to melt away
this is an awesome song, man

[Strife.]

Similar to most of the other Cross remixes, but different still (in the good way). I wanted the song to keep going after it was over. Nice

[†pikachu†]

I like this Chrono Cross mix.

The chose I song was great.

Nice job putting it all together.... I hope to here more mixes like this!

Keep at it.

[luminaire23]

Pretty good remix! I like it alot!

[Hobbes]

This is a beautiful track. Very calming and soothing, while not being too "easy-listening" at the same time. I love the music from Chrono Cross, to boot. Thanks for the remix, Starblaze!

[rebirth9283]

It's not every day that I call something stunningly beautiful (at least, not in the music world). Today, I see fit to bestow that compliment on Starblaze's "Dreamer."

I love the "Voyage" theme from Chrono Cross, and have been dying to see justice done the piece. Thanks to Starblaze's masterful mastering, I finally have it. Everything is clear, crisp, and right on. The acoustic lead is superb, the flute that picks up the melody is outstanding, and the drum track couldn't get better.

But what really sets this piece apart is the beautiful piano line. It adds a peaceful element to the melody as it plays the first time through, while the original piano solos give whole new dimension to the piece.

The whole song is beautiful, lilting, calming, and heartfelt. If people out there are like me, they're big fans of emotionally charged music. Therefore, they should love this piece to pieces.

Thanks again to Starblaze for this amazing rendition of one of my favorites.

[Russell Cox]

First of all, I don't like the original song. It's too much "IN YOUR FACE" in comparison to the rest of the OST. The lead is annoying, grating, and doesn't mesh well with the strings IMO. The percussion feels like it's trying to drill a hole in my head with the overly loud bass drum and boring tambourine.

Dreamer, though, has a pleasant tone and feels almost like what a lot of people have been describing. It's calm, soothing, and helps give off the pretense of relaxation. The strings and flute (I'm assuming that's a shakuhachi) are very pleasing to the ear. It's very simplistic, but so was "La Ballade de Cyan" and I love that one also (yes, I know it's not by you -- I'm just maing a point).

Very good mix -- very relaxing and soothing. It's a nice contrast to the more epic or in your faces mixes on the site.

Keep it up.

[Starblaze]

Hey Rebirth:

You're the first person to ever mention the piano solo =P It's funny, I thought maybe I'd sent the wrong version of the song or something because no one was saying a THING about it, good or bad.

:? :lol:

[SephyMasamune]

I love this remix......Mitsuda should take some pointers from you. This is much better than the original.....keep it comin'

[Garde]

Wow, great job StarBlaze! Keep up the good work, you did an excellent job on this piece! I liked the original version of it, I used to keep my PSX on while playing this song, but this version is WAY better, imo! (Plus, I don't have to keep my PSX running for God knows how long :wink: ) I think this mix is probably one of the better CC mixes on the site because you completely redid it as opposed to some of the others that seemed to just changed the tempo of the song... This song puts out a good vibe and makes me think that you tried to redo the song in Ragnarok Online style (for a part of it), while the rest sounds like someone is going to leave on an epic adventure. I look forward to your next mix! Again, keep up the great work! :)

Edit: If you don't know Ragnarok Online, the instruments that make me think of one of the songs from that game are the stringed instrument and the piano (yes, I noticed it). Man, if I could remix..... I'd want to be able to remix a song like this one, I've never really heard songs on the site like this one.... I think I'm in love....

[Fray]

This... is awesome. I don't really have much to say that people haven't already said, but I'm blown away by this one. Thanks for a great mix, Starblaze. I'm off to download all your other stuff :)

This is truly a beautiful song. The guitar is amazing! So good it makes me wana go out and learn how to play the guitar! This a great great song. I give it two thumbs up!

[Solid-Snake]

...I Like this one... Please make more ReMixes like this :D
I Really enjoyed it, !!..Chrono Cross..!!
Lol

!!..Solid Snake..!!

[DragonFireKai]

This song captures the "Island in the Sun" aspect of Chrono Cross. I love it. great guitars.

[Corporal Eschebone]

The guitar work somehow successfully pulls off its country influences while the rest of the mix is ambient enough to not make annoying repetitive or redneck. Really cool, this should go in a deer-huntin' game or the like. It'd make said game 5x better.

[esden9]

A great mix of movement and natural type sounds. Pacing is very well pulled off, the mix is not too long nor too short and rises and falls just when it should. A satisfying listening experience.

[Vero]

It kind of reminds me of Scott Peeples' "Another Inspiration", which is a good thing. I probably like the guitar the best in it.

[NeOmega]

I have had this one in my mp3 rotation for at least a year. And I have grown very fond of it. To me it is very innocent and happy.

The song reminds me of all my pets, past and present.

strange eh? But it's true, every time I hear it, I think of tha animals I love or have loved.... hmm.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

This is absolutely one of my favorite mixes on this site. It's very beautiful, and so soothing. You cannot possibly listen to this and not be happy afterward.

[Stompa Mudhole]

I made an account just so I could tell you that this remix is absolutly amazing.
You did a Wicked job.
My ears are in bliss.

[Lucentas]

Marvelous job! This mix is so refreshing, it reminds me of a spring day at the beach or something.

[OA]

wow, a Chrono Cross mix that I somehow overlooked, and ends up being amazing. DJP said it right, those hihats are really the star here (not sure i'll ever have a chance to say *that* again XD ), and hearing something this upbeat and well nuanced really makes me want to do some tracks in this style. It's very inspiring.

Great mix!

[Im_Just_Shawn]

***Hands Evan a cookie***
AWSOME JOB! :D

[SkyDragon63]

Amazing job. I love the soundtrack to CC and always check for good remixes, but this just blew me away. One of my favorite themes done up beautifully.
Thanks you, sir.

[Sari Uchiha]

Just like Stompa, I made an account just to post that this is one of the top five songs I've heard on OCRemix so far!:wink:
