My head just exploded from the sheer awesomeness of this song.

Well I'm not going to lie about this, I was disappointed, at first. I really expected a ~10 minute epic that would kick the ass of the black mages mix, especially with all the great remixers on it, so when I saw it was 3-minutes, and started with a chiptune-intro, I didn't have very high hopes for it (nothing against chiptunes, I just didn't really expect it here =P).

Of course, after hearing the Elfman-esque marcato strings entering, things changed, and I realised this really wasn't meant to be a Black Mages-killer, but a mix in itself.

Personal opinions aside, this is extremely well executed, though perhaps not too interpretative (which is probably because of the exact chord voicings sung by the sampled choir), but all the elements work surprisingly well together, and each element is produced/ sequenced/played with near-professional skill and attention to detail. Unexpected, but very good nonetheless!

Is there a place I can get the chiptune thing that is the intro?

Okay, you guys are Mad Geniuses!! The chiptune cheasey-ness flowing into that pulse-building opening was something I never would have known could sound so good! And then you just didn't let up with the intensity! Usually I love a fast-paced beat with a ton of base, but this grabbed my attention quicker than I ever would have thought. Those hypnotic vocals around 1:18 were phenominal and the balance of each component was right on. Loving it!

Ended way sooner than I would have liked; seemed like it was just getting started, but the awesomeness contained within this is staggering.

You guys get the totally metal FIST OF ULTIMATE APPROVAL!

Default Totally amazing.

Honestly, I think I prefer this to all other versions I have heard. Of course, I am biased towards the sheer devotion and passion behind this album, as well as all of the others. I also personally think that the decision to make this piece shorter was a fine one. I didn't think it was possible to do this song justice in 3 minutes, but I should expect nothing less from this community.

This entire album has completely blown me away, and I am actually quite astonished to be alive; with this much excitement I would have anticipated a heart attack by now. Anyways, I would like to thank ALL 42 ReMixers for possibly the best musical experience I've ever had. I can't wait to see what album comes up next.

Also, I would also like to know where I can get the full chiptune that served as the intro. I'd love to hear it.

Keep up the always-impressive work, folks.

~Dan~
Ps. It's stuff like this that really inspires me to write music. Maybe I'll submit something of mine one day.

Default Nice Seph Mix

What can I say? It's definitely a bad ass remix of a bad ass theme song for a bad ass bad guy. Remember that when kids say bad they really mean good. Hahaha. I definitely liked the arrangement. The solo at the end was cool. Like Tensei san, I too would have liked to see the chorus parts changed up a lot more. And I would have liked to hear some insane tenor dudes belting it out as loudly as they could. Hahaha. It's too bad I don't have my own choir. I want to hear the name Sephiroth used over and over again in a fugue where it sounds like a battle between the Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass. Hahaha. Those are just my crazy ideas though. This is a good ass remix. Thank you.

Easily one of my most favorites on this entire project set. The only caveat I have... is that I didn't want it to end so shortly.

But it was great. Thumbs up. :)
