This was one of my favourite Dark Side of Phobos songs, possibly for the fact that you could notice the main melody clearly. The choir does a good job at being the main lead, and is nice to listen too. Still can't figure out what those sounds at the start and end are (footsteps?), and why they're used. Nice work.

I instantly fell in love with this piece when I first heard it as a WIP. This is just my kinda stuff.

The ambience is the key here. The overall sound canvas is just so capturing. To me, this is a moviesong. And to me, that is a very good thing indeed.

If we´d made a trailer for DSOP (as they did in Chrono Symphonic - such a cool idea) this would be the song in the beginning. (Then at its climax, when the action starts, it would off course burst into violent dose of Hangarmageddon. :D)

Anyways I really love this. It brings visual images in my mind and really takes the listener to its world. I would love to see a movie that has this playing on the background of its opening credits.

Take me to the desert baby! I wanna get nasty!

The percussion is all over the place, the low male choir is hot, and the chromatic stuff is amazingly haunting; this has Doom written all over it. Great work man.

I'm not really into this mix. The production seems kind of cheezy to me (choirs blaring too loudly, same effects being reused, ideas dragging on for too long, grating violin usage, lack of enough textures within the background and atmosphere to keep things interesting and full where they could be). There's some nice light and unique touches in places, and I enjoy how some sections sort of creep up on you, but I believe that alot more could have been done to provoke feeling here, like adding a more noticable bassline in places, having some ambient noise or screaming at around 2:50 to give those uneventful bells some life, taking volumes of certain notes up gradually, playing around with wind sounds or low frequency effects at 3:39, bringing out the plucked strings and cycling harps more clearly, doing something entirely different than the twinkling at 4:38 before the static loops back to the start to keep things fresh, etc. I don't have enough desire to make a detailed list of suggestions, though; this song just seems much too lacking to me for what it is.

I really liked your other version of E2L4 though (atleast in it's more raw, psychotic WIP stages - that clean version with the intro/outro feels more mundane).

Another quality Doom remix for that project that succeded quite well.
The ambience is great throughout. And the break in pace at 2:20 was very neccessery as to one not losing interrest listening till the end. I liked every second of this. Also some quite nice little chimes mixed in.

Solid work MN

I can easily see that a lot of work was put into this. This isn't exactly the kind of song that I would listen to, but it's good nevertheless. The vocals just sounded kind of weak and without suppprt.

This mix reminds me of 'Machina Anesthesia'. So I think it´s clearly some New Age stuff. I´m not familiar with the original source tune. Also, I listened few mixes of the Mythril. But here, it is a great effort. I noticed he started working on this song at October of the last year and finished that in July, now. Then I found 9 months on the transition of this mix. Very pleasant and powerful work.

Oh yes, this one I wouldn't mind having in Doom 4 (if there'd be one). I can only hope that the game holds the same quality as this song : )

Anyone familiar with the Akira soundtrack? the song called "Doll's Symphony" and other similar Akira songs remind me of the intro here, with the freaky children's choir.
