Nice stuff here, C-Pac.

One of the few CT themes I like, done in solo piano. Nice.

Personally, I'm not a ZOMGHUGE fan of 600 AD in Piano. I like it, but I feel that this mix really explores the source in more interesting ways than the old guard.

Good stuff.

Very Skillful arrangement throughout this piece.
The intro does well in grabbing my attention.
Many variation on the same meldoy can be heard, each distictive from others.

1:56 The melody seems to be at this point, seems to be cut to a shorter version and rotating. Sort of like recollecting on the many memories lost, and then to clearly remember a certain memory. Very interesting take.

One minor thing was the long silence at the end of the song.

Wonderfully done.

Well, I've had the pleasure of having this track on my hard drive for some time now. And I have to say that it's about time that OCR got this up on the site. I'll admit it. I'm a fan of most of CPac's stuff, but especially his piano arrangements.

This one I'd have to say is one of my favorites of said category. This would go for most arrangments on this site or on VGmix, but the gripe I have with the piano arrangements is that they're not performed live. You can kind of tell and while that's upsetting, there's so much juicy substance to this piece that you'd have to be crazy not to love it. My favorite part is the section from 1:45 to 2:16. It's such strong material (partly because it's the same idea, but reworked in constantly shifting ways).

I haven't heard much of the CT section, but this has been on my playlist for a while now. Congrats C, on a job well done. We're already waiting for the next one ;)

Well this is the first I've heard of C-Pac, and I must say that I'm pretty impressed. This piece has a multitude of different feelings presented, both intense and also on the lighter side. It shows a very different side of 600 AD than Klutz's version of the song.

I like them both, but I don't think I could compare them equally due to the contrasting styles. Klutz's had more emphasis on melody, while C-Pac's really strays off and explores into the piece a little more.

*Goes and checks out C-pac's other mixes*

There's some serious skill represented in this track. It brought a horde of memories of the game and 600 AD flooding back to my mind. It also shone some light on some aspects of the track that I never really seemed to notice before. C-Pac has expanded upon an already memorable track and done so in pianic grace. Good stuff here.

Haha, Terium, you're in for a surprise if you're expecting similar stuff! I suggest checking VGMix if you end up liking the piano stuff more.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful comments. Always an honor to have a mix posted here.

Nice stuff, although it's not really my style I do think that it was made well and it took alot of talent to make an arrangment like this. I enjoyed how it was different, not the same as alot of remixs, for this I commend you. I love piano arrangments, and although this song is not really my style it's still a wonderful mix. Great work

Hmm...Very nice stuff here dude. The audio is a bit odd sounding at times, at least to me. Probably my speakers.
As much as I like this, my feeling for kLuTz's mix is a bit more high...but still a good mix here.

I’m a huge fan of your piano arrangements, Christian, especially the June Mermaid one, and now this one. The textures and harmonies always remind me of Debussy or Prokofiev, but the piece is definitely your style.
