Nice ambience at the beginning... very cool effect.

Takes a while for the percussion to set in... Good percussion, though. Nothing needs changing yet.

Once again, the transition time is a little longer than I would have liked.

Bell(ish)/flute(ish) melody. Pretty cool. I'm getting a bit of painful feedback with the bells... Oh... it ended....

Very good ambient soundtrack here. It's worth a listen if you're into ambient music, and still worth a listen even if it's not.

Excellent! I realy enjoy the mood this creates, and the sound quality and level of composition is very good as well. I like all of CotMM's stuff. I like dark, foreboding and yes, ambient stuff. This one really isn't "dark" but it does have a kind of a slight sinister mood to it, as well as a slightly hopeful mood at the same time, as if something bad could happen or even something good, you just don't know... yet.

CotMM was this the mix you mentioned finishing on my SoM oc mix a few months ago?

Definitely a lot of new ageish textures going on here. Starting off with lovely bell and string pads..It does remind me of the kinds of things I like to do and prefer. :) Like djp said, the spartan atmosphere going on here is pulled off beautifully, and does feel very appropriate given the tune you've mixed.

Drumwork is excellent throughout. Nice chill feel. However I have to say as a personal bias, i'm not too crazy about the distortion/dirty feel to some of the hits. Minor little issue. I do like the drums much more later on though.

The whole piece just glides in part thanks to the perfect instrument selection with the pads and bells. Good job on the arrangement throughout as well.

I was going to actually do a mix of this myself at some point, but now given this superb rendition I don't think I will.

Beautiful, chill and ethereal. This is definitely my favorite mix of yours cotmm.

I've never really like anything from CotMM (due to personal prefrence) untill now. This piece takes a while to actually get started but that's why they call it build up right? What can I say except that this song is DAMN GOOD!! Keep up the good work Children.

Better and better...

I could say more, but that wouldn't be more than restating what Joe Redifer just said.

This was always my favourite Mana song. Who could've ever hoped CotMM would remix it?

To me this seems to be perfect source material for the general mood his songs create, and even though this one's a little different, it's beautiful.

I haven't posted in awhile. I haven't even been downloading new remixes for a month or two. I'm here tonight posting this to tell anyone who hasn't heard this remix to get off your ass and get it. Now.

Amazing work, Matt. I think this is easily something Richard James would enjoy listening to.
