Very nice. I particularly enjoy the segment at 1:23-2:02. The ending leaves sorta unresolved, but in a way that I can appreciate as a creative decision. I would have liked to hear a more...frugal...use of the sustain pedal. That combined with the reverb and the warm piano tone gave the piece a mushy quality at times. Overall though, a very enjoyable listen. Thanks Susie!

You know, if it was any other remixer, I'd just be saying "fuck, another 600 ad mix?" Probably wouldn't even download it. BUT, it's Bogusred, so instead I said "OHSHIT" and downloaded it.

And I was not dissappointed; as expected, the mix is absolutely beautiful.

Gotta agree with Harmony about 1:23 to 2:02. I really enjoyed that part of the arrangement. I actually enjoyed the ending. It kind left you hanging but I thought it fit in the context. Although it would have been really interesting to see more development on that little piano lick used for the ending. Always good to hear new muziks from BogusRed! :)

This is so good!

It ends so quickly, but that leaves it easy to leave on repeat.

Pop piano arrangement. There are a couple of good moments, but for the most part, I feel like I'm listening to aural cheese. It's still better than most of the piano stuff that gets posted, though, and it's not so bad that I couldn't make it through the whole thing (which is becoming increasingly common).

I'm surprised that sources like this just keep on being translated into interesting arrangements. This is nice. The way you play around with the melody is really creative. I thought the syncopated bass from 1:07-1:22 was a good idea, but the staccato (staccatissimo?) made it sound a bit unusual. As others have pointed out, 1:23-2:03 is especially good. It would have been cool if it went on a bit longer, but I like this fine anyways (-:

You know what's not fair about pieces like this? They're NEVER long enough. This song is truly beautiful; granted, many Wind Scene arrangements are, but this one has some of the most interesting takes on the theme I have heard in a long time.

The ending is gorgeous, which makes the song ending all the more painful. *cries*

That and at first I thought it was waaaay too similar to klutz's remix of this theme, though you varied it up much more after the intro so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't a blatant ripoff or anything :D

Overall I think it's pretty good and yea, would have been nicer if it was longer.
