Pure genius. One of the best Zircon remixes in my opinion, the attention to detail is just amazing. The arrangement is full of quirks and expands the original melodies in a very admirable way. The production and general sound is top-notch, as expected.
Absolutely positively one hundred percent recommended!

Bad-ass.

There's plenty of sonic goodness to be had here. That part at 1:30 really gets me. It's totally transporting. I just really like how this track moves along from one part to the next. it really makes for a fun listen.

It's very visual too. It conjures up so many images as I'm listening. Very colorful. You rock, zircon!

Though I love your beats and I'm one of the groove biasiest (it's a word now!) people you're gonna find, I love how the beats take a backseat approach to the other instruments in this song. There's just some damn creative instrumentation going on. Especially love the eerie synth coming in at 0:40 and the interplay in the break that shortly follows. Awesome song all around.

I have say I was not totally feeling the fadeout though...

Zircon always impresses me, and this song especially seems to avoid the unfortunate habit he has of the first half being perfect and then going off into cheesy synth land. He avoids this by using synth in the whole song :) but it works, this is one of the better OCRs of late.

Oh god, why would you fadeout? =/

Other than that, this mix is typical zircon electronica sex, with phat beats, interpretation all over the place, random orchestral elements, all coming together in one cohesive package of grooviness.

Also I love that lead synth.

If I had 20 minutes left before the submission deadline, I'd fade out too. Like a good UnModder.

(Damnit, Larry! :p)

Yeah, the fadeout was purely due to time constraints, but I think we can convince Andy to write a more conclusive ending before handing Uematsu his stuff in person! Awesome, awesome mixeroo.

Only zircon would come from behind and steal the win with a sub not 20 minutes before the deadline.

He's too good at this shit.

What's so criminal about a fadeout? You've all graduated from the Protricity school of music!
