I Absolutely love this. When I saw these two big names doing a remix of At the Bottom of the Night I instantly knew I was in for a treat. Thank you two so much and KEEP COLLABING. It's amazing what you two can do together.

Thanks again for this wonderful mix of my favorite CT song.

I still have a feeling Clairvoyant Elegy will remain the furry-porn-inspiring champ out of these two.

While the piano was the big central part of them both, the instruments in Tears of Contention sound like they're more clustered around the piano than in Clairvoyant Elegy, making it sound a bit too cluttered for my tastes. Blad's style usually reflects Yanni's (although not so much in this piece) but the accompaniment knows to gently support the piano and keep its distance. I think Clairvoyant Elegy accomplishes this much better.

Don't get me wrong, I love Blad's piano playing and TO's accompaniment - especially the percussion - in this. I just feel they could mesh a little better.

I like this vibe I get from this collaboration. The Orichalcon and TBee have a good thing going. This is their third mix together now? Anywho, like 'em all so far! Keep 'em coming.

Yes, more piano remixes, can't get nuff of them. I didn't know what song the remix was from, I has a hard time with names, but as soon as I recognized it, I knew this would be a beautiful arrangement.

It began as I said, beautiful. Jus one piano at the scene, playing the beginning tunes to the melody. No complaints there, sounds to be a good type of piano. Then later, came the drums. I thought it began abruptly, although I had read pretzel's review that there was drums in this piece, it all just started to quickly with the drums and cymbals at the same time with strings. It looses after a couple of seconds, but it just bothered me. The strings may have sound too loud since I couldn't hear much of the lower piano keys, but this was a fine and excellent played session. Great work guys!

the mix between "at the bottom fo the night" and "out of phase" was ingenious in my opinion *thumbs up*

The mix of the melody is awesome, very smooth but with emotion. Combined with drums it makes a very nice combination. Nice job.

Ach! It's brilliant! Such a good song, remixed so well! I thank you for staying so close to the original, and not letting the drum track dominate. You've sped it up, but it still makes my heart ache. Good good sound, and some fine playing. 5/5

I normally don't post reviews, but I have to say I'm becoming addicted to Bladiator and also his joint effort remixes with TO.

I simply can't get enough. This is very similair to Clairvoyan Elegy (as stated before), but that's not a bad thing at all. Very well done and enjoyable track.

Default Chrono Trigger-Tears of contention

This mix of chrono trigger is beautiful.The paino and the percussion and strings worked so well together that it almost makes me want to believe it is the work of the original artist's unreleased tracks or tracks that was supposed to be published in the elusive arranged album.

If the composers of Chrono Trigger heard what fans had done to their works,they will have no doubt that they (the fans) have produced AND captured the true essence and feeling of the game.And what gamers have felt when they (heard) played the game many many years ago.

To the remixers of Chrono Trigger,I sincerely thank you guys,from the bottom of my heard,for letting me grace through your works and let me remember how I felt when I played the game so many years ago. I hope you guys will get the recognition you so very deserve.And introduce this "baby" of yours to the world.
