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

Ziwtra pwns again.

I don't know if you're genuinely curious, djp, but the goal of part of Terranigma is to revive the planet. Zue is one of the dungeons, the one in which you revive mammals.

Great song, by the way. ^_^;

I just love it when orchestral and other genres mix...always a ride that I love, from beginning to end. This is no exception. I just love that guitar at 58'...Good Job, total pwnage.

I have to ask something. Why did you pick Zue? There is plenty to like in your ReMix but I don't understand why you chose Zue.

If you look in my profile you'll notice that I listed Miyoko Kobayashi as one of my Interests. She is probably my FAVORITE VGM composer. [or very close]

I used to be obsessed with zue. It is rhythmically ingenius. It is 3 bars of 7 then one bar of 6. [that's the main sections] than there are 2 sections in six. The coolest thing is the way in which the sections are juxtaposed makes the 6's sound like odd time signatures.

Also in the original check out the the 7/4 bassline and how it switches back and forth to 6/4. The drums are also playing a VERY original 7/4 clave that I never heard of and that BRILLIANT organ line that really spells out the rhythm construction.

Zue [the original] has very little to offer in the melodic department [though the melody is phrased in a really cool manner]. It just basically hovers around ab minor but I think this was intentional on Miyoko's part since Zue was intented as a rhythmic composition. [she's capable of writing very complex harmonic stuff].

I actually Like your ReMix but I wrote all this because of the comment you made in your submission E-mail:

"The original is in 6/4 or 7/4 or some weird time signature and it took a lot of manhandling of the material to get it into the 4/4 breakbeat form it's in now"

The Whole point of Zue WERE the rhythmic constructions so if you go out of your way to throw those out.... basically nothing is left in the song so WHY ON EARTH DID YOU CHOSE ZUE?? One of my all time favorite songs. Please answer me.

PS: I actually liked you ReMix quite a bit [once I look past your choice of source tune]

[big giant circles]

wow. I downloaded this when it was in the WIP forum.

This is a different mix from the last one you put up in there, is it not? The mixing/mastering is much better. The drums are toned down, the bass is cranked up a little (good thing).

I've had this burned on a CD and I'd been digging it on my way to work many a-times over the last couple months. Ah, so that's a guitar, is it? I always thought it was some sort of funktified cross between a tenor sax and a synth bass. Whatever it is, I highly enjoy it.

This is also shorter than the one I downloaded. Oh well. I appreciate your humility, as it is apparant that the standards you set make it obvious that you aren't going to waste you time creating something that wasn't some sort of challenge, nor submit something unless it is close to the very best you could possibly do. That shows integrity, especially as a musician. I think that's about as high a compliment as someone could receive.

Great work

I wish there were more Terranigma remixes. It was a great game, albeit kinda ignored. I love Ziwtra's material.

I have to agree with Shnabubula. This particular remix, you don't really capture the feeling of Zue. It's so hidden and the allure of the original musical piece were the drums, that crazy rhythm. They added to the mood. While this piece is wonderful on its own, it's just not the Zue you encounter in the game.

Perhaps you could do another mix of this like you did for Blue and really funkify it using the crazy time signature? ^^

[YuPing]

yay! my post from months back (which is gone from the forums) has been answered! Whether or not this remix was a response to my request for more Terranigma songs, and, specifically, a Zue remix, I'm quite happy. it is odd to hear it in such a different form, but hey, the more good terranigma mixes the better.

[DJ Riott]

An interesting mix right from the beginning. Unique drum patterns and scratch samples.
- Lead synth/instrument really catches me and its awkward notes sound very fitting actually.

Everything is solid, and the song doesn't lose energy throughout the entire piece. Breakbeat stylings and flowing harmonics amount to an enjoyable song. Good work.

[woekitten]

Yes, we need far more Terranigma remixes. The game had some brilliant music.

This is a good one. Zue (or was it Zuu) had an interesting sound. I don't know if Pretzel is reading this, but the point of Terranigma is to revive civilisation (the game is a prequel to Illusion of Gaia). Zue isn't a person or thing, but a place that needed to be "awakened", like the rest of the world. I think, in the game, it represented Africa. I could be wrong, it's been a while since I last played.
