I like this. It is pretty minimal, and is more a bunch of improvised stuff over the original bassline than actually a remix of the melody, but the original emphasized the bass over everything else, anyway. The jazz piano solo at 1:07 seems kind of out of place with everything else, but it's extremely well done. And Sine manages to do a lot of neat stuff with just a simple filtered synth as the lead, although there are a few places where it seems to stay on a note that doesn't agree with everything else going on (like 2:41), but they eventually resolve.

But yeah, this is nice. Definitely a keeper.

I still love this mix. Barrel Volcano is one of my favorite themes from SMRPG and this one shows you can get a lot of a little.

I'm not too terribly fond of 40 seconds worth of fadeout at the end, especially of a classy understatement like this piece, but that's just a personal thing. However I was very impressed by the :56-1:07 transition to bring in the piano, shows some discipline. The 1:56-3:24 piano outro to the synth lead messing about is GREAT stuff, especially the bring back around the 3:00 mark, but then the long fadeout bugs me.

I still give it an 8/10 tho.

I really like arrangements like this. I am a huge fan of this mix, and I think it is much the same. Everything is very well balanced, and well processed. The mix takes small things and makes a great song out of them, with sort of an understated groove pushing it along. This mix takes some chances, and I think that's good. Predictablility is bad. And it's nice to hear something that isn't just four on the floor I-IV-V, and that soloing is about as far as you can acceptably go from it. What makes songs like this work is the subtleties, and this mix has them in spades. From the cray little synth in the back to the driving push of the bassline, there isn't anything I hear in this mix that screams "UNPOLISHED!!!" which is what you want when attempting a mix like this.
for trying something different.

NO! ... NO!....... NOOOOOOO!!! I was going to do a remix of this one and be the first to get it up here, but NOOOOOO! Sine beat me to it! I have to get employed and then start remixing again!!!! GGRRRR!

Whatever, the mix sounds great so you're forgiven. Why? The piano!!!! It's all bout the piano. I just love how the keys ring all over the place. Nice work! That synth's a little loud though, and the marimba was used in the original piece for that break. But it sounds good. The thing that keeps the beat in the original song is the bassline, but you've added a few things to really get fans of the song into it.

Nice work!

The techno background nice, and you've kept pretty much everything from the original. A nice mix to listen to when you want something that'll get you a little awake, but don't want it to scream at you to listen to it.
