Wanted to give a HQ link right away. I'm excited that it's finally posted. There will be a small update coming shortly because of a little glitch in the audio that I heard after submission. You probably won't hear it but I do :) Anyways enjoy!!

EDIT: HQ Fixed!

Devotion & Deception HQ

D&J's work is always something extra! The Cantata's were terrific and this new, FF8 piece is also almost perfect... perfect is hard to achieve, i don't think there's many of us who can come as close as this though...
i've said it before and i'll say it again.
More Orchestral Work on OCR!

There is a glitch in the submission or in the HQ version?

Both. It's just a little thing but it bothers me being a perfectionist so I'm going to fix it.

Good :) notice us when the new version is up (I've not noticed anything anyway :P ) .

Nice remix though, it was only yesterday that I re-listened all the FF8 soundtrack and I was thinking why there aren't so much remix of it :)

I can remember this being in the remix workshop. The violins are my faourite part. Overall this is pretty good for my favourite final fantasy.

Once again, another stellar arrangement from the Dream Team, the Two-o Duo, the Power Hour, the I-Can't-Think-of-Another-Flattering-Nickname-for-Derek-and-Jeremy!

The Cantatas blew my mind--this did the trick quite nicely as well.

I have to admit, the source tune was one of my favorites in the soundtrack because I felt like it had so much potential as a great orchestrated piece, and you two have just about hit the proverbial nail on the head with this one. Great job.

Pretty nice stuff, good variations and lots of interesting bits throughout. Some of the early parts seemed to be lacking in modulation and felt a little bit overly synthetic, but this is enjoyable listening.
