I am almost sure it was done in FruityLoops because of the drums and the cello.

Regardless, most instruments are pretty cool. The guitar was well executed, as I always can expect from GT. The saxophone did justice as well. Some effects that starts at 1:30 with the electric guitar reminds me of Protricity's 'Realms of Africa'. Man...that thing in the percussion is really awesome. All the transitions are sounding clean and I especially love the piano finishing the mix. Reverb and panning are working very well. In my opinion the beats could be replaced because they aren't good at all. but I love the random sequence of drums.

This is indeed very neat. Congratulations to both for the first OCReMix.

The background is a bit repetitive, but it's a very nice acoustic rendition of two great and under-represented tracks. Congrats, guys.

I agree with Dhsu that the background doesn't go very many places, but it can only be expected with a nice laid back piece like this. Some choice moments seemed a litttttttttle disjunct, but all in all, a VERY enjoyable piece. I love the bassline fills especially. Oh, and the run was just show-offy. I approve.

seven rejections later...

i'm so happy that this project turned out as well as it did. i actually started this project with Geoffery while on vacation, and it just flowed - this project came really easily.

if you liked this, check out the rest of my music over at Soundclick. the site is http://www.soundclick.com/theprophetofmephisto - it hasn't been updated in almost a month, but the info is all there. The track that was rejected that djpretzel mentioned(A Star Freezes Ovcer) is there, as well as several others.

thanks for listening to our music!

The sax automatichally makes me think of jazz, but this is more like a ballad. If this one popped up in the radio I would believe that this was the real thing, not a remix.

The instruments works great together, there may be some issues about quality and such chit-chat, but this sounds more than good to me, it´s fabulous. The kick in of the electric guitar was great, sounds like something Ailsean would do, you guys finish it off well.

I couldn´t hear the part that might be RD, but sokay, I´m just hear for Relm. Very neat stuff dudes, and if every track have this standard maybe I´ll find some time to check your site Mephisto.

Both the leads -the sax and the guitar- have incredible tone. I disagree with djp about the bass; I thought it makes its presence known and drops out when I feel it should. The strings provide adequate harmonizing akshun when they're there and I think the loopiness of the drums doesn't detract from the song, but the acoustic strumming leaves something to be desired. It is very reminiscent to Roetaka's Dreaming by Your side, and he got criticized strongly for that. This is still my favorite rendition of relm though. Nice Work.

This is really nice, soulful stuff you guys have got here. I enjoyed listening to it, but I do have a minor gripe with it though. The section starting at 2:20 seems to be lacking direction and is rather unsatisfying in comparison to the rest of the song. Other than that, great stuff.

Edit: That part at 2:20 has really grown on me.
