This is wonderful. It took a new dimension to the song of storms. I like it a lot.

Ooh, I'd been WAITING for a Song of Storms mix to make it through... also known as the Windmill Theme, or for a reason I'm not particularly familiar with, "scheissebrot". There have been a number of VERY promising mixes posted in the WIP forum, but their authors all abandoned them, leaving a stupendous opening and one drooling for more, and then silence...

But we're not talking about those other mixes. We're talking about this one. This one follows through, and my how well it does! The transition to the Desert Collosus Teleport song (I've forgotten the actual name) was perfect, and felt very natural. And the switch back was even more perfect... it felt rather tender, and then it rushes forth like the organ grinder was turning the crank to fast... and then ends simply. Okay, perhaps more could have been played with in order to make it REALLY feel like spinning the record to fast at the end, but all in all, it worked reasonably well.

I like this. Well done! Well done. Don't stop remixing. I like what I hear.

Default Bolero meets Boléro

Especially entertained by the musical pun starting at 2:53 -- the Bolero of Fire melody is reprised, with French horns riffing Ravel's "Boléro" (192 pretty convincingly beneath. Cute.

:O I'm writing this as I listen, and so far, I like what I hear. I loved the transition at 1:29. Everything is done so beautifully in this song. :3 OH SNAP! BOLERO OF FIRE! :O*shock* Beautifully done as well. Koji Kondo would be proud. Unknown is a king among men...A king among men...

I was trying to ignore this remix or push it into the background as I was surfing when it started playing but, damn, this is really great. I wanted to come give you props on some wonderful arrangement and turning those little ocarina melodies (which I love) into something so beautiful. Makes me wanna go play Zelda64!

i have listened to Unknown's windwaker remix, and after listening to that, i thaught "now, he could never do a remix better than that", but apphearantly he succeded, when i for the first time got my Zelda 64, i could sit in the Wind Mill, and listen to the music there for hours, and like Fieari i have been waiting for a Song Of Storms remix, and here it is, and reffering again, to this time what Typhun said, it really took a new dimension out of it, its a mix of bolero of fire and windmill hut, both songs from Zelda 64 i love, wonderfully mixed together in one song.

Thank You Unknown! :D

Awesome. It has a wide and open feeling to it. I love the Song of Storms, and this mix is a really interesting interpretation of it. Very nice work.
