This has instantly become one of my favorite all time remixes after just a few listens. The use of the cameos is subtle and not overpowering, and I had to go back and search for them. I just love this piece so much. Best jazz mix I've ever heard, that's for sure.

I agree with what Wanderer has to say about the cameos. They'll make an experienced listener grin and it doesn't take away from the song at all. They even flow right into each other. From what I could hear was: Frog, Metroid, and Narshe.

he did a good job on the whale echoes and electric guitar i can only say 10/10. perfect job on it.

Jesus bloody christ this song is good.
The guitar, the laid back sax, the ambience, everything works perfectly together.

Vigilante never disappoints.

A great remix of Aquatic Ambiance. It's hard to say much more than quality work from a qualiy mixer.

Now, this piece is just how I like my yellow...mellow!

Very laided back piece that I enjoyed quite alot. Found it amuzing how you melded Frog's theme and Orcaria of time in there. Nice jorb.

Also, the whispering of Biblical verse in the end is a nice polish. I think it really magnifies the title a lot more. I've often wondered what runs through the minds of heroes as their time comes. Well, clearly, their brave thoughts are Beneath the Surface

Psalm 23:1-3 (Frog)
23:4 (Samus)
23:6 (Terra, perhaps? Locke? Anyone who's recognized in Narshe... Oh, that's from Zelda, you say?... Could've sworn it was Narshe. It sounds like the drawn-out sighs. Well, if that's not the case, then Link fits the greave here.)

I heard a little section from Mega Man 3 in there at 3:29,
I hear frogs theme at 5:26
I hear metroid at 5:40

Where is the Zelda/Narshe theme? And what biblical verse is it? I can hear whispering, but I can't make out any words.

Psalm 23


A psalm of David.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.

4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.


I find the first two references quite fitting...

Frog: Green pastures, quiet waters.. A nature scene, as well as the restoration of soul.

Samus: All alone, against the Metroids...

I suppose the last verse can fit for either Terra or Link.

Combining one of my favorite songs of the game and one of my favorite genres of music...this piece is certainly worthy of ocr status...a beautiful remix that puts you into the deepest emotions of the remixer...i feel a mood herethat matches complete relaxation...

Thanks for all the feedback; it is always appreciated. I guess i'll fill you in on some of the details.

i think an unbalanced portion of the comments have been about the ending, so i'll clear that up and maybe people will focus on the non-vox non-chrono trigger aspects of the mix.

The vocals are me whispering that "i'm about to die" psalm you hear in movies. It's not there to endorse any particular religion, only because i thought the whispering sounded really cool with the stereo delay and stuff. an earlier version of htis mix was called "eulogy at sea" and that explains the morbid themes. other vocal clips featured are from the movies "gladiator" and "teenage mutant ninja turtles."

as for the guitar that plays behind the vocals in the end...what can i say. i was improvising. i didnt plan it like that; they just came out, and i thought it sounded alright. they are (obviously) frog's theme, kraid, and intro from Ocarina of Time.

someone cited something from megaman 3 or something during the guitar solo. i listened again, didnt hear anything, so if it's in there, it was unintentional. SRRY.

Sax is live, played by me. guitars are pirated gigasamplez, OK?!?!
