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

I think this would actually be the second mom & son collab, since MomUltimA was also playing in DrumUltimA's "Moon Rhapsody".

We know, but that was more of a cameo, whereas the involvement here was lot more extensive, and a legit collab.

I loved it when I first heard it, and I love it now. Awesome work from Doug and Sharon on a classy powerhouse of a mix.

Initial Response:
OH
MY
EFFING
GOSH
[a KHCOM OC ReMix]

Glace-Over Response:
Hah, mom & son[g] (wow, and a professional violinist)
and
OH, a final boss song *doesn't recall which it is*

Read-Through Response:
*reads violin play*
*backtracks*
Oh, violist
then
Hah, Philly. / Oh, well the title kinda fits for Marl's fuck-arounds, too (prev. impression of title).
Aw, bad feelings?
*doesn't know technical lingo*
"breath" and "refereshing"

Pre-Listen Response:
Ah, first [Marluxia] battle. Was thinkin' "Scythe of Petals" for that one, given the actual use of the scythe (not counting Nobo-mech arms).

Post-Listen Response:
Pretty good. To be nitpicky (though I'm not a bard by measure to any here), the times the focal noises start seem kinda off by fractions of a moment (the last instace I'd say would be when the violin and whatever that oh-so-neat oise thing sync again), along with the violin giving a similar feeling of silent hiccup within the middle of its bits. Then again, the violin overal has a pacing thing with me, since I think of the Org battles sounding a bit faster, but I haven't listened to the Re:CoM version in an in-mind while nor have I played the battle in COM much (due to it being the last in the game that's one-off). For its startoff, it takes some time to pick up any volume (I tend to keep my volume lower, so playing it in playlist will prolly cause me to check what just came on), but once it picks up, I can roll with it. The vocals... while they were alright, I think their quality/type/etc. stood out from the kind of sound made by the other bits, a bit too strong/sharp, if you get what i'm saying. My favorite thing in it, though I often like to think I'm a violin[-liking] guy, is that previously mentioned weird noise thing that came in early and picked up up somewhere midway. Makes me thing of GB music (particularly PKMNTCG, but that may just be a fresh-subject-in-my-mind correlation). I'd prolly rate the song at two to three stars for my playlist (where one is when I want to notice it in list but not sure if I truly dig it, two being something that would rank among regular listens, and three being something of mainstay status; four and five are for "yes" and "very yes", respectively). Then again, don't take this all to heart, since I focus on particulars too much (makes it hard for me to watch/hear/play some things), and I'm not too up on critique (makes me think I should just keep out, not wanting to muck waters and all).

The coincidence of grabbing the second COM comic book (with the Marluxia battle(s)) a bit before coming here gets me. Really, to see work done on these sad-ish songs by a ReMixer (or a pair, in this case) makes me happy. The long violin noises and the pritting... bass, I'll assume, make for a throwback to the in-vain yet faux-furious nature that represents the Nobodies so well.

Again, feels like the tragedy and struggle of the Nobodies' condition in musical form.

Moved this back here, since I prolly don't know what I'm talking about, really. However, this song is damn awesome. Maybe what endears it over listens is learning the song, and building yourself up with the song as it goes along. Also, some of the synth noises bring thought to the Golden Sun games' "instrumentation" (and, wouldn't you know, a GS song pops up after this song finished).

Wow, amazing work! Love the violin (my favorite musical instrument) as always, piano was tasty too! Keep it up, FamilyUltimA!

Even though I won this contest [har har har har har!!!] I still think this is awesome.

good show!!

I like how the relatively lo-fi-ish samples combine with this booming percussion and these crazy awesome violins. It reminds me of Black Wing Rising.

Which is to say it's pretty epic. Nice work on this.

This is really good. Grats DrumUltima and MomUltima for such an enthralling ReMix!

Once again, what I was about to say has already been said.
Somehow, this reminds me of Breath of Fire 3. Anyway, I really liked it, very, very intense.
