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

Wow. This is nice stuff. The imagery he described helped me enjoy it more, since more often than not, I'll listen to music by itself, rather than as a background for gaming or such. Plus, it's (technically) a Seiken Densetsu mix.

I enjoyed the beat very much, nice techno sound with a good fast pace. The intro was enjoyable as well, it opened the song very well for what was to come.

Not a bad piece of techno, thing that i'm wondering the most about is why the name seems to be Smashing Pumpkins reference (who had a song titled "The Beginning Is The End Is The Beginning")? stylistically, this remix doesn't really make me think of either the pumpkins style, or of the style of their song with the same title. Not that it really matters, might have just been a coincidence, just found it odd. maybe i'm viewing the world too pumpkin-centrically.

Cool stuff, i probably would have liked a little more variety in the instrumentation than the synth, but that's just me.

Whoa, this caught me off guard, but so far as I can notice, the beginning is not very inspired.

Taken from an email to liontamer on the same subject:

Particularly, the name of the mix comes from the fact
that you are beginning the last part of the game,
which in fact became the first in a series--the Secret
of Mana. Thus, Beginning the End of the Beginning of
the series. *wink*

hope that helps. :)

Heh.. I thought about the Pumpkins song as well.

Great tune, I love the swirling-panning-flanging-statticy shit that flows in and out of the stereo field. I believe that this is a mix best enjoyed on a good pair of headphones.

Excellent drums and I love the bassline as well. Great music, this.

With this and Willed Assault, I am now coming to the realization that Seiken Densetsu had an excellent soundtrack. I kowtow to Mr. Ito.

This is not techno.

This is a hybrid between chemical breaks and big beat. Vastly different.

Okay, aside from the asinine dj-genreing talk (even if it would sound really out of place in a techno set..... ;) ) This is pretty cool though. Though at some points it has this muddy cycle going through with the toms and the mid-bass synths - it would have been better to have exagerated it a bit to help the breakbeats stand out it a bit more.

Fun stuff. Enjoyable to listen too.

Apparently not techno...;)

Where's Gecko when you need him?

I Like it, even though it caught me off guard in the part after the piano intermission. By the way, I like the piano intermission. Well done, a nice mix of techno and trance
