What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Longinus]

Trenthian definitely knows what he's doing with the arranging part of this. Production is nice too. It's almost epic, in an understated way. Percussion is done very well.

Wait... here come the synths and the groove. Nice!

Wait... back to orchestral/ambient.

Wait... back to groove.

Damn, this is nice!

Wait... lots more groove. XD I won't write any more, just prepare for a nice little ride with this remix.

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to be this good, I was a bit reluctant myself about downloading this.. seeing as this is the first BoF, I feel that BoF3 and 4 deserve to be mixed too. Anyhow, I like it. As far as the whole "epic" ideal - it should have been more epic. I am biased towards it and would've credited it much more than I already do. Love the guitars!

[Phil1450]

Wow, just the other day I downloaded an original song by Trenthian called "Where our Travels Lead" and thought it was pretty cool. This song rocks, defiantly something a bit different but in a very good way. Without a doubt I'll be looking forward to more from Trenthian.

Wow. Just wow. (isn't this the third post starting with wow? The mix sure deserves it)

I love the music of this game more than any of the BoF games, maybe even all games I've played. But apart from the shot of nostalgia, the whole extra epic feel you added just give me goosebumps (especially the part with the battle sounds....even though many people didn't seem to like em that much. then again, I'm not an audiophile ;)). Personally, I think it's just epic enough. ;)

Beautiful.

[Solanalos]

Wow.

I had 2 previous versions that were WIPs, but I can't believe how much better this final version is (and the creative ways it got better)

Simply wow :D

HAha!race? you guys are way behind... the WIP I submitted for owa rounding the judges panel corner.. I know because I submitted it about 3 weeks after BOF :) it was finished then, and it is finished now :)


anyways
really good luck with your Submissions. Im confident in your work in general blake. Although I cant remember which one of yours you submitted! :)

to talk breifly about my BOF mix. I'd just like to say... the rooster is your king! also.. I would like to say. the SFX were not the focus of the peice, just there to help tell the story.


Story of Ryu's First good Deed


--- opening---> Ryu Arrives in Camlon, a desolated town, taken by monsters, the people have been kicked out of their homes, and the duke forced from his keep. The children are not safe.

---1:12---> Although its not really his quest and is going to be time consuming, Ryu decides that it is completely within his power to lend these people a hand.

It is on the way to Windia afterall anyways.

Ryu makes his way to the Ducharchy and tells them to step aside,

--- 1:35---> as a man on a mission he makes his way through the keep's gates (strutting is optional) and

--- 2:07 ---> lays eyes on the giant oak doors, which he then opens. The mysterious halls reek sour of spoiled and spilt blood.




---2:22 (make a wish ryu)---> he moves on down the halls. A great battle took place here. Bones lay scattered about...

---2:39--->Loses his cool for a moment,


---2:47---> he rebounds

---2:49---> and dumbly stumbles forward. His wits save him from a lethal claw swipe from a Giant Ugly Toad.


---2:52---> the battle between good and vile has begun! At first Ryu gets his bearings and musters up the will to stand his ground... but the beast is huge... by the crown it wears atop its head, it's likely also the leader of the monster incursion. the two face off in a lethal dance.

---3:35- A blow is struck upon the beast with keen precision! Ryu's courage is bolstered and the beast is bleeding and angry. As Ryu successfully connects a few more hits home, the Toad gains a second wind, and is totally super pissed.


---3:43---> the Toad fights back and ryu pays with some of his own blood this time...

---3:49---> and just as it seems hopless again, the toad comes crashing down atop the young man... as the toad tackles him, Ryu slashes bringing the blade in a circle and Up into the toads heart.

---3:57--->Silence,


---3:58---> no one is watching so why make it dramatic? Preferring his life more than suffacating under the dead stinking toad, Ryu climbs out from beneath it, bathed in putrid, green, slimey blood.


---4:15---> the toads body glows and blinds the room in a flash of red-orange light.

A steady stream of energy pushes Ryu gently back the way he came to the giant oak doors,

---4:32--->As he approaches them they open... upon sighting him, the Hamlet rejoices in the name of the Light Dragon Clan. (NOT the Wu-tang, or cherry clans.) A night's rest and good food in the temporary shelters ouside the city help Ryu to ease of mind. A week later after the wounds have all healed, Ryu finds himself wandering again towards the lands of Windia, with the blessings of the Duke of Camlon on his shoulders and karma totally super awesome. ---End---
THAT is the way it was. (its true)

Very nice. A variety of styles here.
The clicks in the background during the first minute give it a tribal feel, but the booming bass behind it keeps it unified.
Kind of Arabian tones at 2:45, then Russian/European folk feel at 3:00.
Don't like the sound effects mixed in at 3:35 or so- there's just no need..
All in all, great.
