Heh heh... I found this one on the VGMix forums quite a while ago, and I thought "If this never shows up on the OC Remix home page, I'm going to be highly dissapointed!" Well, here it is. w00t!

As DJP mentioned, the lead for this song is perfect. I love how it contrasts the general garishness of the techno elements.

My favorite part of the song is the choir segment at 2:30 - a brief foray into unadultered orchestral that really adds volumes to the overall quality of the mix.

'Tis very innovative, to boot. This is the most refreshing thing to happen to the Final Fantasy remix stash since "CidintheFactory-Gaffeizel".

Oh my, oh my God the effects! There's so many! This is really good. Being an effects lover like I am (after all, that's the one thing electronic music has that other styles don't) I couldn't help but love repeated listens. A very good listen.

I thought this was great when 'Maniac let me check it out as a WIP, and the finished product is even tighter, so congratulations on SysteManiac getting his second mix accepted and posted up. If it had been on the main page maybe 30 minutes earlier, around 2 AM as opposed to 2:30 AM, I could have congratulated 'Maniac right over the phone while he called into my radio show, but I hope this here's a close substitute. Dat's sum . In no time, "Belmont Lounge" should be on the horizon.

.......... im speachless this is the best remix of FF9 ive heard thus far. hehe, i love the old school sound to it, and the clatu verata victo, that was taken from the evil dead movie rox, all they needed is they .......... uhhmm *cough cough cough * line in there, ive only seen the third movie unfortunatly,

this one is going directly into my playlist.

[Shhteve]

The very beginning caught me by suprise, but I have to say I love this remix, and I agree with the person above. This IS the best FF9 remix I've heard on OCR so far, and I love the oldschool sound as well. It brings back some fond memories of FF9 and the older FFs in the series. I also love how the song stays true to the original. *Sigh* Don't you just love nostalgia? Anyway, really great stuff here.. I'd recommend it to anyone!

[ChA0S'-ReIgN]

Theres only a few choice words that can go along with this remix, Breathtaking, Outstanding, Perfect. If music exactly like this was placed in the final fantasy IX game, Sales would have jumped at least 100,000 of more units sold. SysteManiac your giving Mr Uematsu a run for his money. Keep up the good work

[Hostile Rabbi]

Great piece, this is.

I love how SysteManiac takes the original theme and interprets it in many different ways.

10/10

In the seconds of hearing this song I was hooked. I'm not even done fully listening to it and I love it. I always thought the original black mage village song wasn't that bad considering the mood, but I love the spin SysteManiac put on it. :D

at 2:31, I love how the music goes orchestral with the voices, piano and bells and just goes straight back into that industrial feel.

The multiple themes are always great. as has been noted with such songs Knights Come Marching Home and the like, if the right remixer comes along, a multiple theme remix is always a treat for the ears.

4:13 is also a treat. The entire song is amazing. THe sound clips coulda probably been left outta this song, but its musical creativity. Every artist has to have something like that I guess.

But I just agree, this is my favorite FF9 remix on this site and probably one of my top list favorites from this site. Props to Sytematic for this fantastic remix.

This song doesn't just kick ass. It blows it away, Hadoken style y0!

It's not a medley, it's just the Black Mage Village song. I did a lot of reconstruction on the chord structure, but yea, it's all still the same song :).

Thanks for all the comments y'all. When I redo this one down the road, i'll be sure to take out the voice clips. Well, most of them, anyway ;).
