Horray, my old name is in a write up

Yeah, when I first heard this on piano I LOVED it. It's a direction I don't think we hear enough of in the remix community. It's minimal, it's full of emotion and it's easily my favorite take on the Brambles theme

You're a champion for this one

A beautiful and unique take on a source that is pretty tough to remix due to it being amazing amazing amazing amazing. But I think it's safe to say you've taken it in a new and interesting direction.

It's kinda slowish though and empty at times? But I like that. It makes it more somber and more minimalist and stuff.

Gooooood stuffs.

It took me quite a while to even realize this was Stickerbush Symphony.

I went back and listened to it again afterward, though. I liked it quite a bit. With it being so slow, though, it almost seems... short, you know?

Same.

This one is way too much "arranged" for me.

The samples were fine in my opinion, but the arrangement did seem a little underdeveloped...didn't get to the best part of the source until the very end. Overall though I dug this quite a bit and am glad it made it on the site.

I love this one. It's sad and gentle. It has a restained feel similar to Infinite Natalie by Shnabubula. It is not underdeveloped at all.

I really like the way how the piano is upfront and strings in the first part, and oboe throughout, are distant. It works really, really well. Oboe is stiffer than it should in a perfect world be, especially in the end, which is a bit unfortunate, as it leaves an "aftertaste". Regardless, I'm extremely glad this passed, I enjoy it very much.

Potentially awesome remix that is brought down substantially by cheesy orchestral elements. Piano alone would have blown me away, though.

Ah man the more I listen to this the more I love it. It has a very strong emotional character. I only wish the string parts were played live...that would have been killer. I still think the string samples used fit the emotional quality of the mix. Def worth the wait for hearing this one.

Yesterday was a pretty crappy day for me. We all have those... I only heard this track late at night. It had a catartic effect on me, and I felt a lot better afterwards. Thanks for that.
In another angle, It really reminded me of some of "Legend of Legaia"'s darkest tracks.
In short, I really liked it.
