OCR00172 - Chrono Trigger 'Millennial Fair 2001'

[Ginnsu]

Chrono Trigger 'Millenial Fair 2001'

This one makes me wish that Millenniums would happen more often. I guess I’ll just have to stick to using that catch phrase “Let’s party like its 2999!” every time I play this one. Zeratul seriously deserves a lot of props for this piece. He puts together electronic pieces based on game melodies, and still maintains the feeling and inspiration of the original song like not many people can. I especially like the voice sample in this piece. Excellent work, Zeratul, keep us dancing.

This mix is freakin' excellent, and one of my favorite OC ReMixes of all time? Why? Zeratul just did an amazing job putting this thing together. I really dig the organ and the triplets on the main lead. This mix is just so happy.

this song kicks @-$!! he did a really good job at this song.

[The_Clover]

Wow...if they ever redo this game over again, they should definitely use your song Zeratul. I love it. Such a lovely upbeat song, perfect for celebrating...uhh, well, I don't know...maybe a new millenium like at uhhh, well....this may sound crazy, but perhaps a Millenial Fair?

Wish I heard this song at the turn of the new millenium, woulda been perfect. Keep it up my man!

This song kicks ass, Millenial Style!

[pokezel]

one of my fav songs!!!

[FIRESEAL]

I have yet to hear a piece done by Zerty that I didn't like, not my favorite of his works but a nice piece none the less. I love the ice crystal song he did for SoM so if your a Zerty fan this is a good one :)

[zircon]

This is really standard-fare dance. Nothing special about the percussion or the synths, no variation to speak of. It even includes obligatory "old movie quotes" (I think that's what they are). That being said, there's nothing really wrong with it either. This is strictly average, with no good or bad points.

[trashmanal]

I always loved the song at the Chrono Trigger Millenial fair... this remix does it pretty good justice.

I like the name, Zeratul, too ;-)

Which begs the question... why are there no Starcraft remixes on here? And why hasn't Zertul done one? :-P

[VGJunky]

He isn't quite devout enough, of course!

Yes, this was a quite enjoyable mix imo.

It was interesting, to say the least.

Well... I'm off to find more of your mixes.

Ta.

i downloaded this one when it first came up (i wasn't a member then)

it's great to hear this song over and over again.
just like Ginnsu said, it does make me wish a millieum would happen more often.


This is a great techno track. The BD is very well done with enough punch to get those Sub woofers going, but not too much where it blows out peoples ears and kills everyone.
This track has a very interesting melody arrangment/variation. great work with it.
Very nice intro, barely there but gets louder.
The voices are good, but was unexpected. at first i didn't understand what he was saying. the second time i turned it up and listened even closer. got it! now it makes sense with the song.
this is a great track, done very well, and deserves to keep its place on oc remix!!

:x
ick
that's all i have to say

everything that i DON'T want in a techno piece

What have you been smoking? really I want to know. This song has everything, A light breezy melody, perfectly suited for a fair or carnival. It has the obligatory quotes that make you say "What was that?". AND it's from Chrono Trigger. beat that!

[Underground871]

I am amazed that the remixer made this excellent remix, and you not ONLY not show appreciation, yet you are negative? This is a remix to a chronotrigger tune, meaning it is related to chronotrigger, and everything, i mean EVERYTHING even related to chronotrigger is pure magic that brings the gamer back to the game, so to speak.
Man, I love chronotrigger.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

I never would have guessed.

Getting back to the subject (ie the song we're supposed to be reviewing here), I'm not particularly a trance fan, but I must admit that this is pretty damn cool.

[Bummerdude]

Why do you have a millennial fair when it´s not a new millennium? 2001 is not a new millennium, you´re one year to late dude. :lol:

However, the mix was great and at the same time funny, beats flying through the air and synths and techno sounds just swirls around ya. But I felt that the history flashback in the middle did´nt quite fit in.
Really liked the techno though.

You can have my millennial party every year, Zeratul.
I just hope you can wait a while.

[brink-of-time]

even now, i still enjoy listening to this song. so cool :)

[maelkashishi]

as basic as it gets, this is no song to remember, almost plain techno. So if you're a sucker for cliché techno which makes up this song almost entirely- barring the sudden fullstop/restart at :50- or just the upbeat millenial fair music, you might like it. Otherwise, there is nothing to be heared here.

[damathacus]

I guess one would find this on OCRemoved?

[Liontamer]

I guess one would find this on OCRemoved?

Yeah, clearly it's not still here. Put some glasses on. :tomatoface:

[DarkCecil13]

I guess one would find this on OCRemoved?

No way, this is a classic. Zeratul ist mein Hero.

[OA]

Some light dissonance in the intro chords, but nothing to completely get my out of it; it actually made me listen a little closer. Cool ideas on the lead, but as for production, it's a bit middle-of-the-road.

The quotes? No thanks.

The transition to the piano wasn't really expected, and I don't think it really worked. Once it got more dancey, I was further onboard, but overall this one shows it age pretty prominently. There are some good points, but plenty of room to improve.

One strong point was the kick has some decent heft to it, and had it's rhythms switched up enough to be pretty engaging.
