OverClocked ReMix...

Chrono Trigger & Final Fantasy 9 'Knights Come Marching Home'

Ants come marching home? What the heck? Oh! Jebus Cripes! It's Frog's theme done in electric guitary goodness! Tasty. I had to actually describe this mix for a friend of mine, because he didn't believe that there was any FF9 in it.
As near as I can tell (I barely played FF9) the "storyline" of this mix goes as such:
0:00-0:49: marching ants
0:49-1:18: glenn's theme
1:18-1:46: ff9 battle
1:46-2:14: glenn's theme
2:14-2:32: marching ants

Anyways, good mix. Highly recommended, get it. Now. Right now. Go get it! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!

This is one of those mixes that really sticks in my head for days on end whenever I listen to it. Very well done.

This is really something. The transitions are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT... Highly recommended!

One thing Ailsean pointed out in his VGmix comments for this song was that, during the reprisal of Glenn's Theme, the countermelody is actually Melodies of Life. just thought I'd point out that apparently little-known factoid.

This song is great, and and even though it's not using the most realistic sounds, the melody is kick ass. Frog's Theme is one of the best songs from Chrono Trigger, and it goes well with FF9 battle. So hats off Aislean.

The song is great, but it left me hungering for a full-on electric guitar Frog remix. I want just Frog!

"Genius!" cried the Omen.

Ailsean is one of my favorite remixers on this site. This was the first of his I downloaded. Frog's theme, so beautifully done... I almost cried. Almost. The Melodies of Life countermelody was brilliant as well. Now I'm addicted to Ailsean's music. Think there's a support group for this sort of thing?

UHHHH, FF9 Battle? Am I the only one who's played FF9? That's no battle theme. That's a remix of "The Loss of Me", played when Beatrix is around. Actually there is a time where Steiner and Beatrix fight alongside each other. There's a more heroic version of The Loss of Me played during that part (which sounds like the method used in this mix). Ah yes, that was a good part in the game.

Anyway, just thought I'd clear that up unless by some weird twist of fate I'm wrong, and to say this is definitely a song that sticks in your head (Very weird "factoid" that counterpart is. I never noticed it until right now)

This is great. Most people know the theme, but then when it transitions (flawlessly) to frog's theme, it loses most people but makes Chrono Trigger fans smile in recognition. I also like how it always keeps the marching quality.

That overdrive guitar rocks! Yup, this mix is all about the transition effects. Very well done. I'm familiar with the themes that make this song and that's a plus to really see how the transitions are well made.

Good one from Ailsean.
