Ohhh looks like once again I get to be first reviewing. :D I liked the original and this is an interestng take on it. Very flowing and calm. The samples chosen are just perfect. The piano solo was interesting. Especially some of the delays on the piano, the "stutters" if you will. They made it a little more alive.
Now about these wrong notes (4:45)... It's obvious these are intentional, but the real question is, were they used in the proper context? This is a smooth flowing ambient piece. If this were a speedcore crazy madness track I can understand dissonance like that, but here, it just sounds bad. Like DJP said, it leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth.
Overrall, a very good mix. A chill take on a very good song. And from yet another newcomer. I think a lot of our latest mixes are from new people arent they?

I'm glad such a song was created. I have few mellow songs in my playlist of such quality. For me the big problem with mellow songs is they get boring too fast, but this one seems to work for me. This ALSO may be contributed to the fact that I enjoy the original a lot as well. I'm torn between which I like more, the remix or the original. Honestly I don't know which I'd rather listen to, cause the original is mellow, but more music is there. I dunno. I thought it was pretty good.

I'm finding it difficult to learn to whistle this song (insofar that I've never heard the original) which means I'm gonna loop it for a couple more hours. :D

(Yes, it's that good.)

Beautifully done. If the original song was a version heard in consciousness, this song would certainly represent dreaming, and the feeling of ease and gentleness with it.

oh wowness.. i got goosebumps listening to this. I love the way it was arranged. I love the ambience about it. And i love everything about this. Very Professional. I think it would have been complete if there were naturall ambient sounds added. Birds or tree's swaying.. etc..

Anyway.. i love this.

Hmm, this song is pretty nice, although it didn't really move me at all, it doesn't stand out in any kind of special way.. I suppose others would like this piece more than I do... *shrug* Well, download it and check it out for yourself, eh?

But now that I think about it, the piano arrangement was very nice and made this song worth the listening.

Well, speaking of this remix as an atmospheric music, it gets its job done. It's slightly moody, and there are no notes or sounds that makes it sound abrupt in any way.

I personally liked how it had many melodies from Chrono Cross, and that's the highlight of this remix for me. Other than that, this music is not intend to rock. This is a music best played as a background feature, NOT an entertaining listen. However, for being atmospheric, it gets the job done. Pretty good listen as long as you are not looking for something exciting.

I'm with neostormx on this one... goosebumps.


I find that i have to stop all work to really listen to this song...this is definitely a good thing... I get lost in it and my mind wanders in the atmosphere that this piece sets...


I find the chorus addictive...

As for these 'wrong' notes... I noticed an uncertainty in the flow of the piece but it didn't ruin the overall experience of the song for me. Infact, I didn't really notice until the second listen. No bad taste here, but an amazing musical experience that i'm greatful for.

Thank you, Chronosis
