I'm a Huge Morrowind fan. Ive played the game on and off since it came out and own both expansions. But, I honestly could not tell this song was from morrowind until the theme it was based off of came in slightly at 1:09 and agian at 1:56 and a bit afterwards. I don't mind the remix but it just doesn't feel like Morrowind to me. Seems like it's from a completely different game. Still a nice song though.

This rules!! I love the violins in it, the rythm is just awesome, the tune changing at the first minute is really nice ^^
Just one of the best symphonic mixes I've heard so far.
Emperor, You rule, Dude !!

EDIT : The flute tune in the end also is great !

Emperor has to be one of the most liberal and creative mixers I've heard since Michael Dover (Israfel), which is at once both refreshing and a liiiiittle bit frustrating. ^_^ I adore this mix, which takes wild license with the main Morrowind theme and turns out something you definitely can't accuse of being a MIDI rip. While Emperor's tendency to roam far afield from a source tune is quite evident here, I really appreciate the breadth of originality in this mix. I'd caution those who expect any kind of faithfulness to the instantly recognizable Morrowind theme to keep an open mind, though--as Dekkon said, you probably won't be able to tell this is Morrowind till snippets of the original theme surface about a minute in.

Emperor has given the tune a sprightly, martial flair, with Eastern European ethnic sounds and conventions that we rarely (if ever?) hear around here--think "Morrowind does Moscow." :D (Or should that be "Moscow does Morrowind?" Anyway.) While this mix didn't kindle up any Morrowind nostalgia for me, I found it highly enjoyable in its own right. Fantastic work, Emperor, and congratulations on the first of what I suspect will be many published OCRemixes. :)

hehe :P Although, in my defense, I would contend that my mixes are firmly grounded on the thematic material of the original piece- and often they owe more to the original (and are perhaps less liberal) than most people realize. I'm reminded of Gwilym's review of my Castlevania mix:

Quote:
so what turned me off? at the time, it seemed to fit perfectly into the description of original music, with elements of VGmusic so that it may be posted here. [...] on the second listen i was able to realise that almost every note was taken from the original NES song. there's hardly a moment in this track where what you hear is an 100% original composition; it's all variations on a theme.
But yeah...I'll shut up now.

I have to agree. Israfel's work is usually a drastic change on the original, yet at the same time still very much identifiable. I've never had any issues determining the source material in Israfel's work. I had some issues with some of emperor's other mixes being way too original.
