and thats saying something

[Red Shadow]

Oh my.

Oooh.

It's mellow-ish and I like it. Wow.

[ghaleon]

Mmm...I'm so-so on this mix. It doesn't really fit my personal tastes, but it's very well made and very relaxing and mellow. Great instrumentation especially...the bagpipes, an easy instrument to screw up, sound perfect.

Props.

How COOL isn´t this! Not only we got a new MM6 remix, we got it directly from Greece!

Vurez did a really good job, that greek bagpipe really does sounds brilliant, and the strings, the flute, this is 100 % masterpiece. But for the name, I didn´t really got that ambient feeling Vurez was trying to attempt, instead it feels more like I´m in Greece and just gazing at the great monument over there, but then again, can this really fit in a travel-documentary? I´m not sure.

Anyhow, great piece. Thanks to you, we now have an another foreign musicstyle dude, thanks.

Overall I enjoyed this song. It's going in my library for future playing. Despite my upcoming criticisms, I thought it was an excellent work, and above par for video game remixes/arrangements.

I like the "bum" voices, and enjoy how right around the 1:18 mark how things pick up pace. There are many parts of this piece that I think are great, and my dislikes are a far shorter list.

I've assembled my list with an approximate time frame for each criticism. Realize these are just personal opinions, and despite the upcoming criticisms, I still think the song is great.

0:00-0:07
I thought the opening stumbled along a bit, and almost made me reconsider letting the song continue. I'm glad I had more patience, but despite my repeated listening, I still find the opening disatisfactory.

0:08-0:33
While the flute works well at 1:50, I don't think it worked well here. I can't tell if you used samples or if you had the actual instruments played (I suspect the former - either way, it's a testament to the quality). It seems to my ears that it was a flute sample played on a keyboard: it has a very on/off sound to it.

0:35-0:51
The horn (I believe it's a horn) sound cuts off here as well, just like my prior complaint. Also, there are a few places where the horn seems to stumble on a note, or at least add a new one in there by mistake.

2:13
All the other voices sound great, but these ones played here don't sound as good.

2:32
The mandolin cuts off rather strangely here; it mimics what a midi file would do when too many voices play at one time.

2:45
Personally, I would add a little reverb to the bagpipe. Also, I don't hear the typical drone associated with bagpipes.

3:11
I don't like the stattaco rythym of the flute here.

3:50
That's it? It cuts off so suddenly!

On a very positive point, I've been listening to this and Vurez's other MM6 mixes from "that other site" vgmix.com ;-)

Very professional sounding. Now comes the criticism ;P

MedHead, you made a very valid point about hearing no drone. I found a good link, along with sound samples of what this particular instrument should sound like..

And yeah, I hear no drone, but still is a wonderful remix.

[Yhoko]

Very nice song! Something new to the Mega Man scene, maybe someone should make a Mega Man RPG? ^^; Oh, well, still good remix, keep it up! Like the calm creek feeling very much.

Huh, you're right. The gaida does drone. Oh well, I guess it probably sounds more like a shawm in my mix which is still okay with me.

You've definitely pulled off a Greek vibe here. Nice work with the mandolin, by the way - you got it to sound authentic in several areas.

I really liked the way you arranged the choir. It blended well with everything.

And of course, the sections following the key change (one of which was near the end) sounded great. The male choir and the orchestral cymbals gave it that powerful, "movie score" feel for a while.

My singular gripe is that the flutes sometimes lacked reverb, which might have sounded nicer.

I almost forgot to compliment you on your very professional use of that bagpipe patch. It sounded absolutely SWEET.

Excellent job on this song overall. Keep up the great work - I hope to see more of this caliber from you in the future.
