Stunning. The sample quality is outstanding. Unique and original while still being able to integrate the CT themes seamlessly into the composition was nice.

The consistent beat makes this a great piece to bob your head too! Nice work

Computer? I don't believe it. Unless you talking about engineering.

Hear a remix of one of the best orchestral tracks for SNES getting better will always be a pleasure. The square staff certanly will producer a track close to this if they had 1.5 of RAM.

Latin Grammy, yeah, this guy deserve it. But I believe that he is far beyond this point.

My word, this song is amazing!

Jared you really have a fantastic grasp of how to arrange for an orchestra well, and the quality of your samples is as good as you can get without cramming a whole orchestra into your desktop (there isn't something you're not telling us is there?)

One of my favourite bits has to be right near the start where the theme comes in, it's just so like the way one of John Williams' wild west arrangements starts.

Though it is very orchestral, this is one of those songs that just make you want to get up and dance...Heheheh.

Kudos.

This song really reminds me of John Williams' music. Just the way transitions are obvious, yet decieving as recurring themes keep popping their heads up. This song is verry good. I love the use of backup percussion as a lead perc. instrument. Play this to you're music teacher. 3:58-4:18 is my favorite part.

Ahh, this song has finally made it to this site. I've been loving this song ever since I heard a short clip from it when it was still a WIP at the Northern Sounds boards. Normally when I listen an orchestral song, I can find something about it that I don't like (sample quality, sample usage, arrangement, dynamics, ect.) but when I heard this song, it was pretty much as close to perfect as a song could get for me (aside from the fact that it ends). Great Job.

I thought the same thing :). I downloaded this back in October on vgmix, and I still can't stop listening to it. Everytime I hear it, I have to play it at least twice. I've already reccommended it to a lot of my friends, which is something that I rarely do with any kind of music. This really is the mix that all orchestral arrangements should stive to be like. Simply beautiful.

I give it a 10 out of 10ish.

Actually, I would assign this mix to sounding more like Aaron Copeland instead of John Williams (Williams has probably gotten a lot of inspiration from Copeland anyway). I mean EXACTLY like Aaron Copeland. He loved making the orchestra do tripilets and the xylophone stuff, while big brassy melody plays on. It's perfect! For those that don't know he wrote the famous song they use in those "Beef: It's what's for dinner" commercials. Anyway, great all around. Since I'm a big Copeland fan, I'm not complaining in the slightest!!
