This is Done extremely well in my opinion.I like the way it sounds and junk. Then again, Ive always been somewhat partial to orchestrated music using string instruments. The ending part with the guy fits in pretty well too.

Overall, Awesome. :D

*rant* Why..WHY do people feel the need to stick a frigging speech into the middle of their songs? I was really happy with this piece, listening to it as I wrote, then bam, a $#^&(&*! monologue ruins it for me. *rant*

I, for one, feel like the voice works pretty well. True, it could use some work, but it adds a nice touch.

Heh. Listening to this the first time brought to mind a weird combination of Myst and Deus Ex... JC shooting up Atrus's library, anyone? That said, I rather like this one. Lots of rich patterns here, hard to predict where it's heading next, in a good way. The voice sample works, sorta. It's too loud, I'd rather listen to the piano. It really jumps out at you. But it doesn't take too much away from the rest of the mix, which is above average and definately worth a listen. I'd give it, oh... 6.5, bordering towards 7, out of 10.

I liked this mix very much. I like to hear the use of classical instruments turned electronic (Deadly Avenger is a good artist for this sort of thing, if anyone's interested. Picked up the CD "Deep Red" last weekend). Very cool.

The voice over would've worked better at the start, I think, and perhaps a more intense beat would've been good. Overall, a good mix. I'd give it about a 7/10.

Agreed about the speech. It is a good song. And a good speech. But together, the speech ruins the song completely. My apologies if this offends, but it is my candid opinion. Please, for the love of GOD, stop putting speeches in the mixes...!

Agreed--or maybe at the very end, over silence, so I could edit the MP3, snip it off, and keep the rest of the awesome instrumentation. ;)

I've taken a liking to Rayagon's style since first hearing him over at VGMix, and this one is more of that similarly-styled goodness. Great hybrid of slow orchestral elements, energetic piano, and trippy electronic percussion. Rayagon loves his reverb, and it sounds good with a song of this style.

One thing--I believe I noticed a bit of clipping around 1:17, possibly slightly before and after too--my speakers, or is it real?

Anyway, good stuff.

I find the speech adds a nice flavor to the mix. I would have prefered it had been toned down a bit though.

In any case, the mp3 clips several times indeed.

This was a supercool remix, and i thought the review was much to harsh.

This gets an A- in my book!
