This is one of my favorite songs from Chrono Trigger, and this remix very accurately conveys the emotion of the piece. As the judges have pointed out, there are defintely some issues of quality regarding the samples, but its still beautifully well done. Kudos.

i honestly think i can say that this is not one of my favorite remixes. it starts off very nicely, but it falls apart towards the end. it seems as if Will Buck was too ambitious and lost focus at around the four or five minute mark. i feel quality was lost here over quantity.

This is one of my favorites fromt he game. I personally think it could have been done much better. However not to sell this short it is still a nicely put togetehr and arranged remix. Sadly though not exactly the remix i woudl have wanted of this song. will still make the next cd burn though

well done

Yeah.. this also happens to be one of my favorite tracks from the game. I never imagined it arranged in this fashion, but it still has quite a few great points throughout. A great download and it may yet make my next CD burn. :)

This is a nice chilled-out piece. It doesn't really have any parts that specifically jump out at me and make me really excited, but it still is fine overall.

While the production and samples is a little weak, the great arrangement more than makes up for it. Production (not just samples, but processing, mixing, mastering, etc.) is just one important criteria we look at. The arrangement here is definitely great, and the weakness in production didn't diminish the quality of the mix. In my view, it was well above the standard bar overall.

Ah this song brings back some good memories. All the sorrowful events and little sentimental acts encountered in the game, now pops up again in the listeners ears ..and with enjoyable results too.

Good choice of intruments ,and some very mellow swings in high and low tunage..I believe some listeners would actually sit down and weep to this one. It is that good a song.

Nice one Mr.Buck :D

Gray you thought the arrangement was great? I don't see how you can come to that conclusion. I didn't really find it particularly innovative, nor did I like the way that there was no real flow or progression within the music. Seriously, listen to it again!
