Heroes of Might & Magic 2 'The Meadows'

This is sweet. And do you know why it’s sweet? Because it’s a very nice Heroes of Might & Magic 2 mix, which just happens to be from a game I really like. Biased much? Yeah, probably, but this is still a very well done mix. I do have to say that there is a static sound that seems to coincide with the bird samples that I don’t like much and the snare (I think) drum doesn’t seem to fit with the other instruments, besides that it is nice. Good work Orkybash.

Nice mix, soothing melody with a nice beat. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And I havent even played this game! Well done, do download.

Really beautiful melody, damn nice :D

Perhaps one of the most relaxing, mellow remixes I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. It all just flows together so naturally, almost perfectly.

But there's always been one thing that's bugged me about it, and that's the feeling I've heard it somewhere before...and considering I haven't actually played the game in question, it struck me as rather odd.

But then it suddenly occured to me as I was listening to this on a whim. The backbeat which begins at the 0:22 mark and continues throughout the song sounds almost identical to the backing track of t.A.T.u's song "30 Minutes." Which is no bad thing, honestly, just a wacky coincidence.

downright magical. had to give this several listens to really appreciate, and i gotta say, that Dido-like drumbeat helps. ;) of course, that could be because i’m partial to Thankyou. the progression in the mix also helps make it; Very controlled and intelligent

[Hitman]

i appreciate the melody very much, I love Heroes of M&M

[Wraique]

I've imploded into my own anus from the goodness. Now you've gotta do the Sorceress Castle theme Orky... Orky?

[Lyrax]

Very high quality remix, and the music was even good to begin with. I loved it all the way. All we need now are remixes for the castle themes, starting with the Warlock and Necromancer.

I like the remix except the percussion. It sounds a bit out of place for HOMM, but otherwise it's a solid remix.

[OA]

A bit overly midi sounding, but given the submit date, not a huge issue. It does seem a bit too short and underdeveloped; It's a nice and relaxing piece, but doesn't really evolve much throughout, with the exception of the percussion and a little bit of backing choir.
The constant guitar arpeggios Should have transitioned into chords and the driving rhythm given to something else for a bit. THe constant driving notes make it difficult to relax like the rest of the mix is trying to encourage us to do.

Overall though, it's a nice bit of work, though I don't think i've heard the original. The instruments mesh well together and there is a good feel for the outdoors. The counterpoint is well excecuted, and the beat adds texture without disturbing the feel.
