Good job from ziwtra. Part of the song remenbers me another song from FF9.....

Nice work! I had no idea what to expect because I really have never played this game, but the rhythm absorbed me right from the beginning. Tasteful use of melody and patches, although I thought the horn patch that began around 1:30 was a bit out of place. The only other thing that I seemed to crave as the song went on was a patch with some more sustain, although that is an artistic decision that is totally up to the remixer. Again, I really liked this mix. Keep it up.

I deffinately like this piece. Right from the begining when the excellent drum and bass begins, this piece just grabs you. You folks might think I'm nuts for saying this, but the drums make me think of Industrial. Sort of like Industrial on a leash, where it's been rained in so that it's more subdued and melodic, but still dark and machine-like.

I disagree with strato's suggestion that the horn in out of place. As Ziwtra was trying for Jazz, I think the horn was just the thing to bring the mix around to that genre. Before that, I have to agree with DJ's comments that it's more like electronica. A little jazzy brass added enough flavor that while I still wouldn't call the piece Jazz altogether, it's deffinately got touches of it.

Overall, a really great piece. I'll be listening to this one for awhile.

I already told ya, but this mix is really really tight. GREAT drum programming (I said that in my last Ziwtra review, didn't I? :)). Awesome style. Fresh, and interesting! Great job!

This fucking rocks. AWESOME, awesome percussion. Nice use of jazzy instruments to juxtapose the crazy beats going on, and cool use of reverb. Towards the end I have a few gripes with the lower-register strings and the fade out, but overall this mix just floors me. Spectactular work by ziwtra - without a question my favorite of his mixes.

I don't know why, but for some reason I like the WIP version better (I have both, heheh). Some parts of the song seem less full. The bassline has changed too. For one, it's louder, which is fine, but it also sounds like it's coming from just the left and right, and not from the center. Are my ears playing tricks on me?

That part with the vibes and the flute is a bit unbalanced, panning-wise. I would have put the vibes to the left and the flute to the right, or the vibes to the right and the flute to the left, but not the flute and the vibes to the right. But that's just me.

Still, brilliant drums and such. Almost incomprehensibly detailed. I love it, and Ziwtra, don't let College slow you down. Make time to remix and do what you want.

I remember this! I love this so much! It's so good.

This version is perfect, very well done.

And to make things better, I remember this being in the WIP stage only a month or three back, gives us all hope at the speed of submissions.

I love it, that's all I can say.

On first listen the initial thought in my mind was "wow, this sounds like SimCity 3000 music" -- it's the same form of jazz/electronica that I spend so much time listening to.

*opens up Nero, and makes more room on a CD compilation for this mix*

Outstanding. I've never played the original, but I'm loving this.
