Default OCR00518 - Final Fantasy '(Something Final)'

Final Fantasy '(Something Final)'

Not a bad medley from CotMM, but my overall impression is that it could be a lot better. His style works well for the darker songs in the medley, but sounds out of place in songs like the Prelude or the FF7 main theme. And sorry to say it, but the transitions suck badly. Overall, it's a good listen, but not something that will be on my playlist that much.

I had fun writing this one.. As the ID3 states, originally I wanted
to write a slow peaceful stringshit track. That idea quickly
disolved when I realized the first chord sounded like the
overworld theme. Ideas are so fleeting sometimes. it was very quickly
downhill from there into my usual realms of laborously tweaked
distortion and destruction. One day I'll do something that is beautiful and
delicate. This would have been it, if I hadn't just gutterf*cked it
half way though. The transitions are quick and dirty.. I sort of
threw it together as I went along. "Hey, that sounds sort of line this
theme, and that one sounds like this one..." and Hey, this doesn't
sound half bad. I dont really think DJP likes my style, which is fine,
because he at least puts up with it. (: And I think enough of you get a
kick out of my little head trips that I'll probably keep churning out the
dirty bits for you for a while to come now. Anyway, I'm done ranting.

I will say it was nicely done, but it could be better. There are parts that could use a little bit of fixing up, and other parts that you should never touch again, because they're awesome! But I thought it was an interesting take of this theme. Very creative...I like it! :)

I find this remix very 'catching' in a way. I didn't really enjoy it much at first, but now it just seems to cling on to me. It kinda hangs in the back of my mind at times and I have to play it again. In my opinion, it's a cool remix

I'm not really into this one. All it really seems to be is a slightly distorted rythm backing a medley of weakly synthed melodies. The only spot where the distortion is really that impressive is at about 3:12. Other than that it's not very gripping. I liked COTMM's Ruined World a lot, it was very moody, rich, and textural. I can also atleast see the enjoyment in his Magus remixes which are very dark and distorted, and have a lot of beat. But this, I don't really feel anything from it, much like Vampire Killer Deadcorpse, it doesn't sound so much like a long, dark, crazy exercise in distortion as much as just a over-long track of weak, GM-ish synth that drags on.

@_o Ack. Such piercing noise after waking up. I should've waited. Maybe I'dve liked this better. It's definitly CoTMM's style that I've come to know n' at times lurve. This wouldn't be one of those times I fear. I still liked Plastic Goddess better. :D Yeah I know I'm Straaaange.

On a side note, why is this in the FF1 catagory instead of the FF7 one?

I have to say that even though I haven't been a big CotMM fan in the past, I loved this one. GREAT BASS. AMAZING BASS. Being a string bass player I appreciate that. I'm with Jemni on the song classification though--it draws mostly from FF7 it seems...

Was it just me or did there seem to be music from a bunch of FF games? I swear in the beginning there's a part from FF4 (FF2 America I think) and then the FF7 parts. Anyways, good mix.

What IS the songlimit for a remix? I ask ye.

Normally, mixes with ridiculously many songs are usually just stuffed with many annoying noises, instruments and bad walkovers. But I became actually impressed by CotMM here. The songs he picked could easily meld into each other at certain spots, and the instrumentation was not so bad with its bass and strings that played the prelude through the mix at many places. This is pure skills, monkeydude.
