I thought this was a pretty cool take on the theme that actually hasnt been covered by anyone except virt in my mind. I thought waxingeloquent did a good job of not making it sound so repetative as when I remember him working on it earlier was. So great job man I hope to see the other 3 parts to complete this masterpiece up on OC in the future. :)

I've never heard the original so I can't really comment on the difference, but I like the intricate layers in this song. My only complaint, and the sole reason it won't be playing much on my machine, is that the drums are WAY too weak when the whole orchestral-plus-organ-wall-of-sound thing comes in. Overall a nice mix, though.

Edit: Ok, now I've heard the original. I stand corrected. This is a LOT like the original. The main differences being updated sounds and a good (but low volume) beat. Looking back, I'm not sure I would have voted the same way, though if this wasn't directly from a midi, it must have taken some major ear-work to get into such complete replicated form...

Arg... another mix that could have been so much more... simply just way too muted and lacking depth(?).

EDIT: I was wearing headphones at the time when I first heard this. It's actually pretty enjoyable on speakers with a subwoofer.

I think this ReMix is very well done. Lots of interesting sounds, not too repetitive. It's from Final Fantasy VI, so I couldn't insult it if I wanted to. :(

This piece sticks in my mind for hours after I've heard it. Although I feel the ending is a little too drawn out, it does fit the 'unnerving' atmosphere of the piece, and I think this is well worth listening too.

I'd say it shines brightest around 3:03 > 3:34 with a high haunting lead, to a ‘sparkling’ falling transition back to the main melody. Ghostly.

From what I've heard over in WIP (subtlety is thy middle name) the next 'forms' are even greater variations of one of my favourite battle themes. I await them with great anticipation.

Good stuff.

I'm glad to see this finally posted! Mad props to Protricity for helping me get it recovered from the queue.

To address your concern, DiscoDan, this wasn't ripped from MIDI: I just sat down and dissected the parts and decided how I was going to change them. A lot of the main themes I left pretty much alone, but I didn't really want to get too ambitious w/ my first track. I expect you will like the second one a lot more. =) Number 2 was submitted a few months ago as well, and 3 probably has a couple weeks on it in the queue already. If anyone wants to listen to them early they're at http://www.atlantisvalley.com/hosting/index.html

All in all, I am very happy with them from a personal perspective, and I'm happy to see others enjoying them as well. All comments and suggestions are always very much appreciated!

peace

Holy hairballs, it's cool!

Great fade-ins, excellent backround bass, and the music isn't treble infested.

Softly playing, but keeps it's fast beat. The DJ did it right!

9/10, and I've downloaded it to my MP3's, so I can hear it again later. Worthy.

Great mix, but I feel it could've been greatly helped by more powerful and dynamic drums/drum beats. As it is, they sound very generic and 80's Casio keyboard sounding. Rest of it is great.

Neato. I like that synth sound with the bell at the beginning. My favorite part is the section at 2:34. Some real interesting sounds going on in there along with some really neat drums. You did great drum programming overall, but the actual samples used lack punch and you’ve kept all the drums pretty quiet. Maybe that was intended to keep the focus on the musical part of the mix. I can’t decide if it’s a plus or minus for me. Great work on this, however.
