NICE!

Isn't this the same guy who did the FF9 cell phone remix? No wait, that was zid. This remix had me on the intro. Excellent addition to the SoM remixes, and finally something a bit more upbeat! That bass had my booty shaking. Highly recommended.

I used to listen to a lot of jungle and intelligent dance music. I always thought that SOM music would integrate very well with those two genres. I once tried to mix the ice forest theme in such a style. I failed; my mix sounded too empty, and my samples sucked. THIS is what I was trying to make. I LOVE this. There's so much variety! This is definitely my favorite Secret Of Mana mix!

well I love any music that square does.. and most of the remixes that are here are kicking, and this one is no exception, of course. and besides, SoM was one of my favorite games of all time... just right behind FFVI.

The work invested in this arrangement is quite apparent. This is a good thing. Well-balanced sound levels and generally crafty sample choices are the icing on the cake.

The primary selling points are as follows: Diverse, intelligent & lively sound programming / effects use. Meticulous detail in articulating the original themes without duplicating them. The last two minutes of the piece deliver a down-to-earth, respectful & mellow rendition of one of the game's generally overlooked selections.

The piece could have been sliced in two without my noticing, but I personally did not mind the combination of said (fairly different) segments. The eclectic style and fun of it all was refreshing. Recommended listening, for sure.

Beautiful. That's all I have to say...absolutely beautiful. I have always been a huge fan of the Secret of Mana soundtrack (available at Animenation, as well as the arranged version...*waits impatiently for hers to get here*) and this is the kind of remix that makes me close my eyes and imagine scenes. It's right up there with Israfel's SoulBlazer remix. Desert Snowstorm has a very quirky (in a good way) rhythm in the first half, the 'snowstorm' part, but my favorite is definitely the 'Desert' section. The percussion is very well done, and the dynamics of the wind instruments are not too loud and not too soft. Very well done. Five stars.

I'm impressed! I was holding my standards high for the next Ziwtra mix, and I'm really happy it was another SoM mix, as I've loved that OST since 1993. I don't think many other people have remixed these, and its a fresh change. It makes me get all goosebumpy and nostalgic, as all the other good SoM mixes have.

Nice work, Ziwtra. Hope to see more from you soon. Please do more Secret of Mana!

Smoothness in mah ears! Great. The second half is my favorite. While the first half is well done with great samples, drums, and synth effects, it feels a bid odd to me, and it changes often which kinda messes up the flow a bit. Maybe more steady drums with more pronounced beats 2 and 4 emphasis would help. But that's nitpicking, and I don't know how it could be done better other than that. The second half is beautiful and a bit more cohesive. This whole mix has exceptional audio quality with the perfect EQ, and awesome work in making stereo separation noticeable, but not annoying. This stuff really adds a lot to the mix. Top notch stuff.
