...I really can't think of anything special about this mix. It just sounds so WIP-ish, compared to most of the other mixes on the site. No real direction, minimal dynamic variation, some off-key-sounding segments, and an unresolved ending for no apparent reason to top it all off. Even a fadeout would have alleviated the incomplete feeling a little.

I think my favorite part, though, was the pitch bends at :27 and other similar places. Those were pretty cool.

Other than that, it was pretty neat, although not completely groundbreaking. I recommend Secret of Mana fans give it a listen or two.

Well this is an interesting piece, it has many good points to it, such as the seemless flow, or the dramatic beggining, but it seems to be missing something that I cant put my finger on. Dont get me wrong I think it a great mix, and ill probably put this on my regular list, it just seems to drag on too much half way through the song....
Oh well, they all cant be perfectly awesome, with a bit of ridiculously sweet on the side now can they?

i love the mana fortress theme. i find your remix quite cool too, but probably im exspecting something closer to the original because i like it that much. well, thats my fault. the drum programming you did is very wild and cool, i dont think it fits in that well when it gets wild, but it rocks :)
what i really miss is that part

to me this ending/ last part before looping was the most outstanding thing of the tune, but i cant think of a way to include it when i look at the different mood of your version.

teh win! SGX and McNoods are the roomates of remixing powah!

This is a good first mix and its like, what, your third song you've made in Reason? Nioce. The drums are unique: they bring a bit of a hip hop flava to the mix. I really like the ending. Very kewl. These are h0t jamz.

Default good stuff

I haven't played this game much, and I haven't played far enough to hear this song. However, I do like it. It's mellow, but not boring. It's quiet, but still is musically active. Good stuff. I'm gonna share it with my friends.

Really great mix. I have always wondered how a great remix of this song would sound and it seems McNoods was right on.

Great techno feel at the beginning. Good beats. I loved when the music faded out and the drums did a solo sort of thing, it picks the song right back up on its feet and gets it moving again.

With the bass pumped all the way up on my 9 speaker system this song kicks everything elses ass. Hands down my favorite mix on the site.
