I double-checked with my girlfriend, who was born there and speaks it every day, first. So, whatever sense it's not making, don't trust babelfish for accuracy...

Basically:

It's all for the best

I prefer prefer babelfish translate of the text letters in my personally

I remember when I bothered chthonic to let us post this awesomeness on R:TS, good stuff from way back when

[The Unsung Plumber]

Wow, I think I downloaded this from vgmix a few years ago, and I always wondered why it wasn't on OCR. I guess I can't say that now.

Anyway, Awesome mix Chthonic.

Congrats chth

This has been one of my favorite mixes forever, and I'm glad to see it direct-posted by djp himself.

(Not a very well written comment, really just posted that because I liked the song in its original form and wanted to shed some light, if it wasn't already evident enough... Also, I put two transliterations, sorry about that... But this WAS posted before this song write-up was written, so w()()tz0rz 2 /\/\3!11eleventy-one)

Don't get me wrong (trust me, I wouldn't lie, if Chthonic didn't have any good songs, I'd end this post sounding like a jerk and hurting his feelings, or simply not even post it), chth has some good songs, a few of which I have just listened to again to be sure I had something to fall back on so people don't think I'm just flaming (if you post a song that is sub-par, especially when compared to other mixes you have posted as of late, I will say so, rather than give blind praise to someone simply because they've got a bunch of other songs that happen to be great or blindly critisize them and leave without having given their other works just praise so the newcomer won't be misled), such as his entries from the Project Chaos and Rise of the Star projects, "It's my turn to dream", "Fleeting Ecstasy" and "Disconnected", all are very good, and often find their way into my playlists.

As for the remix... Well, it was certainly catchy at points, but I can't say it is something I'd think to put in my regular music rotation. It just seems a bit lacking, sort of like the sceleton part of composition where you are simply bringing a fun idea you had into a form you can listen to continuously, but haven't refined. But strangely, it also gives a sort of feeling that this is about as much potential as the song might have, and certainly not as this portion had to say:

"...If the tempo was a little less perfect and you added in some crowd ambience, it would almost sound like a live recording..."

I could definitely notice the synthetic nature of the song from the start, and just now reading that it was made a few years back, I can now see why some things sounded as they did.

No Grade.

You may now prepare your floods of counter-statements and insults to my character, not that I desire it as such, but it is inevitable and I don't want to delete my post just because I have a differing opinion.

[chthonic]

dude you shouldn't be afraid to post negative criticism, seriously

as an interesting side-note, I was always confused about the rampant popularity of this song... so seeing that someone other than myself actually doesn't think it's all that superb is refreshing

so thanks for not liking this remix because I was starting to get worried
