Final Fantasy 9 'Place of Return'

I haven't heard a lot of FFMDJ's music that I was overly fond of. Maybe it's the trancey style that he constantly uses. Anyways, this is a trancey/dancey tune that you will probably like if you're into that. I'm not really. So that's all.

I like the soundfont choice as he opens up this song using the familiar rhythm right off the bat. I start to lose interest around 50 seconds... there we go, change of drum... and voila... nm.. still same... This song is great if your'e a ff9 fan, or a trance fan, however, it is semi repetitive, I give this song a 7.5/10

Rob, just so you don't feel like an odd man out here, I'm also not a big fan of FFMDJ's works. I don't think I have kept any of his older songs, and the only two songs of his that I have considered as keepers and are still on my hard drive or CC TimeScars and FF4 Ground Up. I do consider both of these to be fairly good, though. Otherwise, I just can't get into his music. That's just me.

I have to say that this song hit everything right on.

The Minus's
I Was Utterly Disgusted. I can't Believe This Was Posted. It Was A blatant Attempt At some Sort of Dance Song And It Falied Miserable. I'm Usually Not Very Critical But I was Appalled. It Was Utterly Slow And Repetetive. It Was Incredibly Empty And The Lead Without The Drums Would Have sounded Like a Pathetic Excuse For Ambient. Anyone With An LFO And The Abitility To cut and paste Could Hvae Made This Song.
No Imagination Or Creativity. Has Anyone Ever heard Of a counter Melody?
The Plusses:
Very Good Mastering (With Excetion To the fact That The Drums Were 10 times a sloud as the lead...., Or maybe That's just my speakers). High Quality Sound Samples. However The Thing I enjoyed Most About This Song Was When it Ended. It was only 3:35.

ProPhecY: I Prophesy That This "artist" Needs to rethink his "life" And His Failed Attepmts At "music". Once Again I Apologise For Being So Negative But if you look at the other reviews for the most Part, They Agree.

I "prophecy" that you should spell correctly and use less retarded capitalization if you wish to be taken seriously.

ffmusic dj · #7 01-15-2003, 08:37 AM

wow, you became a member just to say that? gees, thats painful

I bet that must have taken you hours to think up? it wasnt a slow song mr. Prophrcy, I can make it as slow as I want to and you cant do crap to fix it , and repetetive, ..... god I hate posts like this, since when did dance not become repetetive?

I am very discuested by your post, and leave me alone -__- you know I can do better than that.

Sorry about that. My friend "Prophecy" types using two fingers, so his spelling and capitalization are probably off most of the time. However, this guy knows more about electronic music than anyone I've ever met.

I think his review was a bit harsh. I thought the song had some good ideas and stuff, interesting samples, and nice drum fills. However, the drums were way too loud and seemed to clip a whole lot. It does get a bit repetitive. The instruments could have been changed up a whole lot more. Some new pads and leads would have made the whole song a lot more interesting. After like the first 2 minutes or so, it's way too repetive. The transitions and fills in the beginning were pretty good, but more should have been done with the rest of the song. Overall, the song just didn't send me. I like Haroon's upbeat stuff a lot better.

Prophecy, maybe you could try not to be such a dick next time. I appreciate your honesty though. I know Haroon can do a hellava lot better than this.

ffmusic dj · #9 01-15-2003, 08:51 AM

yes, you are right, but I never thought about that during production, hopefully my next production would be more better I hope.

Kaleb.G · #10 01-15-2003, 09:41 AM

I wasn't all that impressed by this one either, and I hope that Haroon does do better on his next because I know he has it in him. JENOVAD Trance has to be one of the best VG trance mixes I've ever heard, and even my friends who for the most part only listen to trance and not VG music think it is awesome. I am waiting for the next "JENOVAD Trance", can you make that?

P.S. A raver friend of mine also really liked your BoF1 mix; it is awesome, and so is TimeScars and GroundUp. These are all really good. :D
