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

I like it, it has an odd feeling to it that sort of makes a touchy feeling.

Wow. Very surreal mix. It's as if Moby worked on a Shen Mue track. Which would be a very high praise in my opinion.

I loved how the entire theme of Shen Mue was stretched out. Also, the techno makes the melodies sound trendy and modern, yet the theme makes it sound nostalgic, like how much of Shen Mue felt as a game.

Surprisingly smooth for a flatout techno remix.

I enjoyed this A LOT. Very unique even for OCR standards.

No comment.. Other than the fact that I loved this. The only thing that I have against this track is that the lyrics don't fit too well with the song.. Oh well, can't always have your cake and eat it too, right? Great job, Arkimedes. :D

You really do not find too many remixes like this one. It was smooth and nice to listen to. Lyrics went alright with the mix, but overall, good stuff.

First;

The Bad:
The lyrics have an akward rhythm at times... I couldn't get used to it, I also thought the message behind the lyrics (at least at the beginning) was rather dry, why should we care about you playing games till 3 in the morning? Because it leads to your dream? I found it hard to care about that section.
The lifting horn sound at 1:01 has an undeniable moment of static, likely gain related... similar vocal static at 1:38ish...
Finally; the 'hunh' at 1:30 is mediocre... it works but it doesn't.

The Good:
GOOOD! GOOD GOOD DGO OGODOOGOG!
It's not bad it just has a few issues I can't not acknowledge... if you're like me and hear everything wrong with your own mix, then I'm sure it stings to hear me pick them out... sorry.
The instruments and effects are awesome, the vocal talent is perfectly suited for the mix. The mixing itself is great, and the vocal effects are perfectly timed in their execution.... the delay effects, the cutting and panning, the vocoding(?) sounds great.
The feeling of the mix is great, it really expresses your emotion well. The message is well delivered and best of all, it is unlike any other mix on OCR, a huge plus in DJP's books but a massive plus in mine. Clone songs annoy me.

What you have here is a completely original take and it has been developed beautifully, whatever length of time it took you to make this track, not a second of it was wasted.

Good job Arkimedes. This is your moment.

One of my fav Ark tracks. Awesome stuff. Very moody.

[TheRedBob]

Regardless of any issues with "speaking rather than singing" or anything like that, I really really enjoyed this piece.

I think the lyrics go very well with the music. I also simply love the lyrics...gonna be singing this one for a while. Excellent work.

By the way...I'm a little iffy as to what's being said at the section around 1:30 - 1:43. If someone could clarify for me, i'd be most appreciative.

I've had this since someone pimped it in General Discussion a while back. Very nice stuff. Reminds me of Moby's work. Nice job ,Ark!

When this track opens, it reminds me more than a good deal of The Postal Service style electropop. Which is a pretty good thing as it is. As it progresses, it drifts further and further away from that style. So far, so good. I've been mulling this mix over all day, and I think I've finally found the words needed to describe it: This is no mere remix. This is the song as it was meant to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is the song as it was intended to be by the original composer, but rather that I enjoyed this song far, far, far more than the original in-game song, which was rather bland, I felt. Instead of rehashing that same blandness, this song transcends its own original. And that's everything remixing is about to me. At first listen, I couldn't even make the original out, and I mean that as a compliment. This song stands on its own two feet much better than most remixes, game or otherwise, I've ever heard.
