Nice work fellas. Man, about f*&$in time someone had the balls to remix something besides FF or chronotrigger, geezus. This mix just reminds me that there are a ton of games being neglected out there that really deserve remixing. (Little Nemo the dreammaster cough cough). Anyways, this mix is real slick, very ambient, definately a keeper, not much else to say.

Actually...the meaning of the word "eros" is more akin to the "lust," referring to the physical or sexual aspect of attraction. I believe "phileo" is closer to the romantic connotation of love. But...whatever works. ;)

Nice to see this one up. Battle of Olympus might have been my favorite game on the nes. I really am glad that I got to work with Freemind again, especially on this particular piece. Listening to this mix transports me to a greek island. I hope that somehow Freemind and I are able to share that feeling with the listeners.

I think you're right in that it is more slanted towards that aspect. The greeks used four words to define love as far as I understand it, eros, phileo, storge and agape. Eros is also the god of love which was the origin of the word. The title came about when I asked freemind exactly what Eros was. I also think Eros sounds cooler than phileo. Freemind can probably explain it since he is the greek here.

Thanks to the judges and to djp also.

He he..i am very happy to see this remix on OC board..Not only because it has a greek name or reminds of a greek island ( that credit goes to Gray ), but because it is very emotional...I liked the original and Gray too...
About Eros word..in Greece we have a diffrence between "Love" "Eros" "Sex"..Eros is like love..When you first meet a beatiful girl and you are fall in love with her..Also Eros was a god at the greek mythology..( for those that know that, it was like the angel that has arrows )!Sorry, but I can't explain any more, because my english are bad...
Well..a big thank to Gray that did the miracle and changed a boring orchestra-piano theme, to an ambient/new age remix..He is the best of this kind

Wow,

Peloponnesus was one of my most favorite tunes from Battle of Olympus, and you two did it very well. I've not been very active on these forums, but I have heard much of the music remixed here, and this has really inspired me to express my utter delight at the sound of this piece. I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to remix one of my favorite games from NES. I hope to see more remixes for this game in the future, but in any case, bravo to you two.

finally a battle of olympus remix. good job guys! superb!

[nostalgic gen]

yay, something that's not techno, chrono trigger or FF! Managing to keep all three of those out of the piece deserves a pat on the back. :D It's a really tastefully done piece, this. The evolving pads at the begining are great and support the piano really well which I was pleasantly pleased with. Most remixes I hear using piano usually suffer from the "midi" effect, with not enough effort put into the performance. But this sounds like it was played or sequenced by a pianist who understands dynamics. There was a moment where I'd have liked to have heard a stronger cresc though.

The transition at 1:50 from new age to orchestral was interesting. I wonder if there should have been a brief pause here for dramatic effect, or some other form of anouncement. Either way, the music is excellently arranged. I guess this is where the greek sound starts to creep in. I'm not entirely sure what Greek music sounds like, but this sounds more like it as the tune progresses. :P

It's all tastefully done. Subtle, but with enough punch to give it emotion. I don't know if it wasn't just a little too restrained though. It did feel like it was holding back. The balance here certainly works, and it certainly pays to stay within limits rather than go over the top, but I wonder if it might not have had more passion if the crescendos were just a little louder and more reinforced. Perhaps our hero who's in love is just a little too shy to admit his feelings just yet ;)

Either way it's a great remix, one of the best recent submissions I've heard here for a while now. I have a spot for GL's music anyway, but Freemind has really added an element that was really complimentary.

Thanks to those who have commented on the piece. Freemind and I appreciate it.

We both did. I think I remember Freemind played it in live as a midi recording. I really enjoy his piano style, it reminds me of barabas or winston. I then took the piano midi from the reason file recording and did modifications of my own with the velocity one stalk at a time to give it a greater sense of dynamics and emotion. I'm glad our hard work payed off, if even a little. ^_^

It's amazing, I'm now currently playing the Battle of Olympus on my computer, and I hit this site to find a Remix. Coincidence....I think not! I was actually think about trying to come up with something for this game.

As for the song...it is quite lovely! I never really liked the song for the Peleponnesus forest. But making something sounding so bad and turning it into something so beautiful is just awesome. It sounds great. And the Title...it fits well with the game.

KUDOS!!!
