YAY! Awesome super stuff. Every different instrument sound is picked and used really well. This mix just straight up sounds great. The 'soundscape' created is really just super duper. The atmosphere created is awesome and it really takes me back to the many hours I spent playing Xenogears. Veryvery cool!

While I have never heard the original, nor played the game (which saddens me, btw), the "soundscape," as it is referred to, created by this arrangement is very well suited to the title, methinks. I find myself to be very fond of the intro, I like what was done with the windchimes combined with subtle accompanying cymbal. I like the almost mysterious overarching tone of the whole piece. I didn't initially like the very end of the mix, but after listening to it several times, I find that it came together appropriately. Nice work.

What can we say for the abilities of GL?? Nice ambient atmosphere, with lots of ethnic moods...
Gray is proving to us that the sense of remix isn't only a trance remix made by FL....
Good work Gray...keep up the good work

*copy-paste*
Brilliant from the off....another fantastic chillout mix.

Im not over-keen on the tinkling/smashing at the beginning, but thats not to say I hate it either.

4:03 is a little BAM! And could shock you...

But overall its brilliant.

Very sweet sounding. This mix is very relaxing. I especially like how all of the sounds fit together nicely. Nothing seems out of place, and everything is very smooth. Pads seem a little hissy (or 'breathy' as DJP said), but I like that in a pad so it's all good. Transitions are subtle and effective.

This is definately some great chillout/reading music.

GrayLightning was kind enough to let me have a listen before it went up on OCR, and I like it just as much now as I did then. THis is one of my favorite tracks from Xenogears, and he's done a great job with it. GrayLightning is the man.

Really like this- nice dreamy atmosphere. And alot of nice little touches help this one stand-out, like the wonderful piano passage at 1:51 or the well done climax at 4:00

Also, maybe it's just me, but at around the 2:30 mark the bass synth and percussion really starts to remind of the first Panzer Dragoon. :P

Cool stuff. Nice new age sound.

The remix is a nice remix. It has a good, somewhat calm tone to it that I like. Very good. :D
