Sounded half good, half bad. I did not care for the distorted sounding synth. It just sounded.... bad. And it is featured prominently throughout. Everything else sounded good and well done. If only that one instrument could be changed....

The distorted piano reminds me of a music box whose batteries are running low (er...or one that needs to be wound up again), but luckily it gets somewhat absorbed by the other instruments. I also didn't care for the sort of uninspired drums...it would have been nice to hear something more exotic, because they were such an integral part of the original. Otherwise, the arrangement is very pleasant and interesting, and a refreshing take on a familiar theme.

It's been some time since I heard a remix that stood out as much as this does in overall quality. Really, really great stuff here. Zeal hasn't been mixed quite like this.. Even though there's a million Zeal remixes on OCR, this one is the most original sounding of them all. :D

dude, great stuff, at the time this song just hit a spot in my life... so sad so touching... I would give you a full review over my big speakers... but NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! someone had to steal my 4.1's and my PC and my MODEM, so it took me like a half an hour to dl this song and I must say its well worth it... so dont listen for the Zeal theme... listen for the interpretation of the Zeal theme... the interpretation is what makes this one great.

To me this rivals Love Hurts in originality and complete alteration of the context of the original song. The Zeal Theme, no matter how much we like it, has never really been the material for much emotional impact. Well, now it is.

That distorted piano/lead really owns me btw. It represents emotional strain much better than some crisp, clean sound would.

Hats off to Unipulator : )

Its a wonderful song, and regardless of the fact that the zeal theme has been remixed so much, it stands apart from the others quite nicely.

I love almost everyhting about this song, except for that distorted paino. The techniques used are nice, and the piece is generally pleasing, but the distorted paino grates on my ears a bit. It's still a good mix though.

good remix, break from the ordinary piano.

I don't care if the zeal theme gets overremixed. You wanna know the reason it gets remixed so often? IT'S BECAUSE IT ROCKS! No matter how many time you remix it, if it gives an original twist to the entire zeal theme, like this remix does, it's great and should be encouraged. Now for this remix. I like it. It's original and it's the zeal theme, which never seems to be boring :P
