Darangen need to submit more of his piano arrangements. :P

Heard this back in January for the Dwelling of Duels competition... just curious, Darangen, have you tweaked it a bit since then?

Ever since I started coming to OCR Darengen has been one of my favorite mixers. I opened up my browser window today and thought,"Ooh, a Lufia mix. Lufia's got some neat tracks." Then I looked at the remixer and..

Good game + good music + great remixer = Win

Keep up the good work Darangen. You never disappoint.

Now, I don't claim to be a musical prodigy or anything, but why are there two rhythm guitars (one panned left, one right) and the lead is panned all the way to the left? Does that make any sense? Maybe I'm just crazy.

Aside from that, I found this mix to be pretty drab. Nothing really stood out to me; just a bunch of "dun duns" and wailing guitars. I enjoy the sources tunes more... but, then again, I think the Lufia music (from the first two games only) is great; even though the second game re-used just about every song.

Anywho, decent production; the panning really throws me for a loop though. I like the mix more than I'm making it sound, honest.

Very good. As with every Darangen remix thus far, the first time though, I really disliked it. This song grew on me very quickly, though. Great pace, very smooth, no heavy reliance on annoying solos, good tiering of guitars so as to not sound showy. Not your best (Deadly Promises permenantly holds that spot), but very good. I'll be listening to this for years. And don't you ever stop making remixes, good sir.

EDIT: a week or so later, and I absolutely love this song. Darangen songs have this thing of growing on me. Keep it up, this is an awesome song.

I believe it's the "Battle of the Island in the Void" (during the opening when the game tells you about the Sinistrals and the 4 original heroes).

Guitar doubling is a very common technique among guitarists for getting a wider sound. The usage here was a bit unconventional because usually the doubled track is played nearly exactly the same, whereas here, the tracks were somewhat different. I don't think it's a big deal though. Also, the lead is only slightly panned left as far as I can hear. It's definitely not hard left.
