Default OCR00332 - Radical Dreamers 'The Furthest Promise'

Radical Dreamers 'The Furthest Promise'

Tinkly piano intro, really nice, followed by what we've all come to expect from Ailsean, some great electric guitar. Not much to say except that this mix is definitely one of the betters in the Radical Dreamers flood.

Check it out, along with the rest of the Far Promise flood of Apr 21st. Collect the whole set!

I must say, I absolutely LOVE the cello that starts off the main melody in this song. The rest of it is great too, and sounds like it's from a movie soundtrack. At 0:43, there's a nice instrument that I think is supposed to be a violin, though it sounds like a single bagpipe, but don't take that as an insult - it sounds great. The marching drums fit in quite well, and the background string section is well done. A little past halfway through, it changes, to sound less sad and more hopeful, but near the end it goes back to a piano and music box version which is reminiscent and melancholy. One of the better Far Promise mixes.

This is going to be a breif review since I got to walk my dog in a minute, I really liked this mix, considering, I just woke up, and I hate music in the morning.. Anyways the beginning was absolutely amazing.. But like most songs, good beginnings usually don't last.. But when I said, " Ahh it better not go on like this!", well I was wrong, it went on and instead of Piano, it played guitar, which was unexpected, GREAT job man!

This is the Single Greatest Remix of all Time! I cannot say enough about it! Every aspect is perfect. Far Promise is the perfect melody, the guitars are flawless as always. the bass is strong but not overwhelming. I LOVE IT!!!

Wow this is really nice! I was expecting something alot more heavy coming from Ailsean but it's still quiet in a way. The breaks away from the guitar and drum are what I like.

And why the hell are there so many Radical Dreamer remixes? I've never heard of this damn game!

One of the million and one "far promise" remixes that i really can dig, even with synth guitar. Oh synth guitar, how I loathe thee..
This one is kept short, which is just as well, since there isn't a huge amount of source to work with. The piano is nice, and there is some cool panning synth in the heavier parts, but this one is showing it's age.

The piece sounds dated, I agree with OA. Still enjoyable. The guitar works here with the piano well. It gets maybe a tad repetative in the piano by the end, would have liked a little change in what it plays.

Still a fun listen.

The beginning gives off an epic and ambient feel, which flows decently well into the guitar section that follows. The middle of the track loses some of the haunting feel that was developed early on, which I think diminishes from the song as a whole. The ending is very nice; a great ending to go with the style of the beginning. I would have preferred that the intro and ending be a part of an epic instrumental piece, but that's just me. Overall a great song, as with most of Ailsean's work.

woah, synth cello metal. would love to hear this performed live. very excellent arrangement of an equally excellent song. the drums were a little heavy toward the end, when the piano came back in. otherwise no real complaints. good work!
