I jumped right on this when I saw Busta's name attached, and it is just a treat to listen to, great job

A fine arrangement and performance. Really captures the spirit of the original while taking it somewhere it never went before.

Beautiful and expertly-performed. Will showed me this and actually asked if I thought it was worth submitting. C'mon, man! The themes arranged here are among my favorites from the Xenogears soundtrack, and while there are a number of remixes of them already, this one stands apart as a very unique interpretation.

Now, let's all bug Will and get him to submit more stuff!

I liked it, but I must be missing something. When I hear the word Babel, I think of the tower of Babel in Genesis. I assume that the same name comes up in Xenogears?

Good job nonetheless.

Amazing remix. "Omen" is one of my favorite tracks in Xenogears in addition to "The Man who is Torn Apart". Very well played piano piece and compares to Dhsu's "A Life Without Parole" from Voices of the Lifestream. Emotional stuff.

Good stuff! I find there are styles of solo piano I like and some that I don't like (well.. d'oh), and this is something I like. Yay!


Also, JJT's judge decision made my stomach hurt. Worth checking out.

...Hmm. I like how busta chose to use the rhythm from the CREID version of Omen, unless Omen actually has that rhythm in it somewhere but I seemed to miss it.

Pretty nifty stuff.
