BAD ASS! Very ethnic, yet very cool sound. And while I'm usually not a big fan of vocals in my ReMixs, these are quite tight. Kudos for a kick ass mix! :)

Yeah... 9 days since Star unveiled the song on his website, and it's here... and rightfully so, as it's honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Several obsceneties of surprise come to mind when I listen to this - and I mean that in a good way.

Without reading the introduction/summary of it, I was quite surprised when I heard the vocals within the song, and how it still flowed despite them. Absolutely incredible, even if it does have a religious overtone to it. (Sorry, hardly Christian here.)

The lyrics are Arabic and Hebrew...

Hardly Christian. :/

This one really caught my attention, being of the Indian persuassion myself, I do enjoy a good ethnic mix, and star succesfully represented the traditional Indian flavor through his media in a manner rivaled only by Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, both being excellent works of art in their own rite.

Star, thanks for this exotic and satisfying work of art, you've got the voice of OCR.

Dear Star Salzman:

If you continue to make the greatest remixes I've ever heard, and refuse to make one single song that I don't obsess over for days at a time, I'm going to have to hunt you down and eat your brains.


Yours truly,
-Leena

What amazing work. While not being familiar with the original(s) myself, I am very impressed with what is obviously a very inspired piece. It blends so many genres of music together so tightly that it creates it's own type of sound, without restricting itself to the progressions of any other type of music. The vocals are awesome, simply amazing work.

I don't exactly know what Star Salzman was trying to accomplish with this ReMix, but whatever it was, it worked out very, very well.

Myself being a HUGE Xenogears fan, I love every piece that anyone will make from the game. This piece by far beats all the others, even the broken mirror reflection by Alexander Prievert which until now, was my favorite from Xenogears. Awesome job with the lyrics and the tieing of both themes. Keep up the good work.
