"Ooh look at me, my name's FISHUH, I write crazy rawk anthems for really old games Anso had and bought cheap instore. Honestly..."

So heavy! This is a solid performance by Fishy.
High energy, clean mix and superb guitar playing. The drums are a tad over compressed and the bassdrum is a bit too machine-gun to sound real. Still, this is solid production. I'm surprised that there's more synth solo than guitar solo but I kinda like that, it fits FFVII a lot more. The guitar soloing that's there is great, the whammy action is truly amazing :D

Great remix Cain!

Oooh g-tar wankery at it's best!

I agree with Anso about the drums but the synth and guitar soloes are executed way too good for those to detract from the mix. Glad to hear some clearly defined break down sections for such a high energy song, gives the ears some time to recover.

Awesome stuff dude!

Gratz on your first solo mix posted, Fishy!

There's not too much to be said about this one except that it rawks.. Hard! Keep it up aye :P

On second thought, maybe cut out the bassoon cadenza, it gets a little overbearing at the end.

Man, Fishy, you rawk!

Everything's tight, nothing sounds out of place. Great stuff.

You should have heard the drums before the remaster.

Vai called, he wants his 8 bars back. You can't fool me.

The people who've heard this always say the synths and the guitar rawk, and the drums lesser so. I always thought it was the other way around :S. But yeah, thanks for comments :3.

Congrats on your first (solo) post, Fish. I've been a fan of this song since the first time I heard it on the album. Solid work all around and good dynamics/transitions. Definitely a keeper.

Great playing and some nice additional flourishes, the whammy tricks are awesome. The mix starts out kind of vanilla, but evolves very naturally into some more interpretive sections. The guitar at 2:53 was well built-into, and I am digging the fuzzy tone you have going throughout. I think the kick needs a stronger beater attack to get more of a click in there, but as long as the speakers are big enough, it sounds good.

GG dude

Another of my favourites from the Voices of the Lifestream album. I'm not familiar with any remixer names or particular styles around here yet, so I can't go all personal and say "typical Fishy remix, keeps with his consistent style" yadda-yadda.

But I will say that it captures the high-pace of the frantic action well from where the original was used in the game (timed sequences, a few boss battles, and the Battle Arena, if I'm not mistaken) and the style of this particular track suited it rather well, if I must say so myself.
