Awesome stuff, as we've come to expect from Ziwtra for a long time now. Every remix he makes just makes me so happy...

Well...cool beats! That is good for ears. Nice flute in beginning. Arrangement with good and crazy instruments. Good rhythm in percussion. And nice piano and orchestra. Nostalgic music, oh yes!

I saw a new remix from Ziwtra AND from Final Fantasy Adventure, which got me really excited. Thankfully the mix itself did not disappoint. Great stuff as usual Ziwtra!

I love this one, I've had the WIP version for quite some time and it has kept me happy every day listening to it, and this final version has some noticeable polish and added subtleties. Thank you, Ziwtra.

I'd have to agree with djp when he said that he'd like to hear ziwtra take more risks. This is the same thing ziwtra's been doing since he started remixing, and it's becoming a little frustrating. As always, he has a knack for taking fairly subpar sounds and mixing and layering them in way that works. He also has an uncanny ability of making an infectious groove, and there are always a few subtle things done in the arrangement to distinguish his mixes (like those triplets in the percussion).

But he's done all this before, and done it better. The effects feel a bit overused and cliche because I've heard them used so many times before. The arrangement itself, aside from the intro and a slight deviation mid-mix, is also overly straightforward and doesn't really explore any new territory. Of course, the result still is something enjoyable and pleasing to listen to. But this has nowhere near the amount of depth that made mixes like "Rain in Chicago" engaging.

Touching, beautiful, and from my favorite portable RPG of all time. Had to give respect where it was due. Everyone's pining for you to take risks because we think you have even more spectacular things in store for us.

Ziwtra, I completely agree with DJP. How can anyone hate this?

Another 10. Ziwtra... you're probably my favourite... and that's saying something.

well i usually like to leave these threads alone but i thought i'd thank djp, adhesive boy and the rest who have urged me to break out of whatever style it is i've become accustomed to. i have my limitations--some due to my lack of musical background, some because of hardware, software--but that's no excuse. hopefully i'll have something a bit different for you next time... i'm cooking up something that's sure to at least grate against your ears : )

thanks again to djp who always seems to have his finger on the pulse of every remixer.
