Very beautiful arrangement of the main theme, with a little bit of a certain Chrono Cross string progression thrown in the beginning if I'm not mistaken. Very nice piece that transitions into several genres that all mesh into a great remix. I'm really starting to like your style, Unknown.

I really like this, it seperates the author's originality and the song itself very well. There is certainly enough variation to keep it original and interesting over a long period of listening.

He uses the main Chrono Trigger theme at crucial points. It kicks in after just enough variation so it's not overdone, but more a welcome site and establishes a strong "OH YEAH" feeling inside of me.

The ending does seem a bit awkward. From listening over, a more natural ending seems to occur from 2:40 to 3:16, or even 3:17 to 3:45ish. The bells
just leave me waiting for an encore that doesn't come.

edit: Forgot to mention, love the title and how it fits with Chrono Trigger.

Yeah, at first it seems like a fighting game's martial kind of theme, then it lapses more into a New Age kind of thing. It was alright, not exactly the kind of changes in tempo I expected.

great stuff here!

the beginning it very very Halo-ish, which i dig, seeing as i thoroughly the music of marty m.

as stated priorly, arrangement is wonderful. parts of this gave me bumps. such as the predominant melody cenetered around the 3:00 area. nice leads throughout - as in, nice choice of instrumentation. the sampling is quite well enough. and i enjoyed the ending.

well done, unknown. song = recommended.

Great arrangement, a little jazzy. Keeps the mood throughout but just a little strong on the Sop. Sax. thats about all i have to say about balance issues. Nice fade at the end.

I think you may be reviewing the wrong song. D:

The arrangement is great; it doesn't have the typical build.. and I can't fully visualise the entire message of the song, but I have to say that the introduction was a work of genius. Excellent buildup.

However, the great remix is marred by poor samples, notably the Brass/Lead Trumpet sample is really a letdown.

Apart from that, I'm excited to see more of your works. Good work.
