Woah. Definitely a good take on the Ocean Palace theme. I get this song stuck in my head alot playing through my mp3's (from other remixes), however, this version definitely grooves. Listening with my headphones at work, I can hear no major flaws.

Nicely done, Audix.

Spot on.

This mix was killer from the first WIP about a year ago. Gregg really has an awesome style that provides a lot of energy and emotion for his mixes. The low piano hits in the intro really set the mood for the song. Loved the leads throughout, they cut through the soundscape without being too overbearing. AWESOME STUFF!

Absolutely phenomenal, Audix. Listening to this one alongside your other two, this one beats out "Days' End", and gives some damnably ferocious competition to the excellent "Devastation's Doorway". Music like this makes me hope some of the composers occasionally look for fan remixes of their work, because I suspect Mitsuda himself would be exceedingly impressed; I would think drastic, unorthodox reworkings of the source material would be well within his tastes, judging by his work on Brink of Time and Creid.

As to the merits of the actual song itself... First off, I honestly have to wonder how long it took you to select a tempo; I just tossed the track into Audacity and played with the speed a bit, and it seems to me that any faster or any slower, the track loses a fair amount of impact. In other words, you seem to have found the ideal tempo for this song, the rate that keeps the action moving without going so quickly that the listener misses some of the subtler details.

I particularly enjoyed the way you emphasized the Magus section of the "Ocean Palace" theme; emphatic, but tasteful. Also, the section from 2:38 to 3:00 is just bloody overwhelming, and in a good way - the soundscape is about as saturated as you could get it without losing the overall picture. Uncertain whether or not I could realistically call it the "highlight" of the song; as with your other two remixes, this one is immersive (even habit-forming *laughs*) throughout, without one particular section standing out as the best moment of the song.

Excellent, excellent stuff, Audix; I am granting this one a prominent position in several dozen of my top playlists as we speak. Just bloody remarkable.

This is excellent! I have one of the first WIP's of this back from forever ago, and I was waiting for this to get posted. I love it

I love the sound of this piece. Can't get over how awesome it sounds. The only quip I don't like is the break with the static-esque interference toward the end. It was grating and largely unnecessary. Basically, it was the only obvious blemish to an otherwise outstanding work.

It remains faithful to the original while keeping its own path. Good work hitting on the line. A recommended download, for sure.

nice nice nice nice nice!!! I've always liked this track from the game too. You worked really well with the latter parts of the source (which were the parts I didn't like, the chromatic stuff). That bass line is kicking some major ass as well. I thought what you did with the opening melody was really interesting, on my first listen through I didn't even realize that was what the guitar was playing. This is going on my playlist for sure, I will be working out to this mix :D

Great work!!!

I have been waiting for this for sooo long, I have been listing to the WIP for like a year now, its still in my playlist and on my MP3.


finally its here, now let me enjoy it

I thought Matt Newman had a lock for best Ocean Palace cover ever. You just won. This is great stuff. I come back after a month without downloading any mixes, and the whole front page is plastered with epic shit. Just awesome.
