Really creative. i like it. Has a great feel.

i think there is crowding in the midrange frequencies and as a result some of the sounds kind of blend toghether. and i'm not a fan of the drums that come in around 230. but other than that, its a very solid and interesting mix.

I didn't like this one that much for a few reasons. Firstly, I'm a big fan of "get to the point" mixes, and having to wait 1:40 to hear a recognizable melody didn't go well with me. It gets a bit repetitive afterwards too, in that the notes seem to be confined to a small range. On the positive side, the arpeggio in the background would sound nice if it weren't there for the almost the entire length of the song. I think that's what made me consider this repetitive. The samples also sound very nice. All in all, a decent mix, but not one I'm going to add to my collection.

This is great...it keeps making me think of that secondary melody in Anxious Hearts from Final Fantasy 7. This would go awesomely with that!

I was thinking about that bastardization thing. It's like this is all The Wingless's work and there's only a few notes present in the original melody. This is perhaps the only song I've ever thought that besides the Soul Blazer mix by Israfel. Maybe some new forte is turning around in my mind telling me that all good songs come with a good hearing of the original throughout, though I normally don't mind if this happens or not. Ah well - a new song is never bad, especially if it's like this.

I happen to like the last quarter with the alteration of the melody.

Default I recognized the song around the 1 minute mark

I recognized the song around the 1 minute mark. I think its a cool mix. I enjoy the soothing sound it has. It reminds me of DJ PRetzels SunkenSuite which I think is amazing and I think more piano versions of songs should be made because I usually listen to this stuff while I'm doing homework

Good Work Dude

Default Hmm...

I really have to agree with Metasquares on this one... It was just too different from the original song for me to enjoy it. It had nice potential, though, I really loved how natural it sounded.

really... i could pick up the song in this mix pretty easily. infact im gonna restart it now cause i like it so much =) ok i heard a hint @ :24... then again at :30. but enough of that...

i enjoyed this soooo much. im a huge fan of the_wingless and this does not disappoint! it just sounds so goooood, so smooooth =) the extra percussion line is nice. the slight syncopation on the main melody sounds so great. i love this interpretation. sure to be a keeper and much more.

Will The Wingless ever make his noncontroversial, universally-beloved piece?

...

The Shadow knows!

I don't really know if I like this at all. It sounds plain and uninspired (also extremely predictable). This is one of those songs that when you hear it in the game, it just clicks that this can be remixed very easily. I very much prefer the original, the original melody just sounds better than this one. On a positive note, at least it aint a techno or trance mix.
