Hmm, odd.
Usually, I don’t like jazz remixes, but I guess this is one of those exceptions. As I listen to Where Destiny Meets, I find myself very relaxed. This is a very peaceful and smooth remix,and I recommend downloading it, just like I did.  Oh, and of course congrats to Joshua Morse for a good first submission. Keep it up! :D

I like it. Quiet, mellow, relaxing, probably good to have sex to. (I see my lady's head bobbing to the music on the couch across the room.
) Although, for the life of me, I can't place the track. Which is really weird, considering I JUST replayed FF7. (incidently, don't let any of these philistines tell you FF7 sucks as a game and isn't worth remixing - afaic, it's the best one they ever made, especially plotwise). I'm not really sure how to describe a review. There's nothing bad whatsoever, but there's nothing that jumps at your attention. It's just a generally pleasant song through and through. Good work, and looking foward to future submissions.

I only notice it at the very end. And as you also said nothing really jumps out at you. At a second listen, I can tell the beginning arpeggio/wtf/Idontknowanythingaboutmusic was definitely inspired from what the original track had to offer. It is very minimal. I would have thrown something else in there. But as I look at the winamp visualization (not the big massive ones) acting smoother than normal for some reason I realize at the same time everything is really smooth, mixed at the perfect volumes and such, especially with the drums. It sounds like some longer than normal demo song you would find in a mixing program.

ahh... this was so soft and soothing. the bass didn't change up as much as i would have liked it, but it was still very nice. as said before, it was hard to figure out what song this was until approximately the last twenty seconds, when it became apparent that this was a mix of the reunion song.
i always loved this song. square was smart to have this soft song playing where you could fight the magical pots. without it's mellow qualities, i don't think i could have maxed out so much summon materia without going insane. good mix, and worth the download. at least, it was for me.

Hmmm...I'm really usure what some this is a remake of...
Oh well, it sounded original enough. I have no other words to say except "9/10. Only one point comes off because it's way too short."

Oh right! I totally hear it now, especially for the first 50 seconds and the last 10. Very cool. And it would be nice if it were longer. :)

This isn't really jazz as far as I can tell. The beat does not come from any distinct style of jazz that I've ever heard. It's not Latin, it doesn't swing, and it certainly isn't funk. It's that odd semi-genre that is found mainly in Japanese productions of any sort. Anyway, this was nicely done. It doesn't really grab my attention during any section, but it makes nice background music.
I'd just appreciate it if you guys would be more careful about labeling a piece as jazz. It's not just a genre for any contemporary song that has a neat bassline or drumbeat. Still, nice job on this.

I don't know if it was intentional, but since the name of the track has no subjet, the ID tag reads= Where Destiny Meets OC Remix. Kinda funny.
Anyways, this piece is of the smooth jazz elevator music mentality, where if it wasn't for the chord progression this probably wouldn't even be jazz. At first I felt this piece didn't develop enough, but that's an unfair judgement. As is, this is a very good listen. The electric piano gets me in that mood. Unusual use of choir samples, but I like it. Then there's the bass, which I feel almost MAKES this song. It grooves like any good bassline should, eating small children along the way thanks to its low frequencies. The drumwork gets the job done, and fits the "elevator music" style while. One thing really got to me though... The ending. It seems so abrupt. It goes from a suspended chord back to the tonic chord, but still feels iffy. In my mind it never seems to resolve and it gets me everytime. Overrall, a very good piece that shows jazz has a place on OCRemix. And we need more of it.
