I really enjoyed this one. I'm afraid I don't have much meaningful input for it, though. :)

Did anyone else notice the hint of Chrono Trigger at about 2:35, or am I insane? Sounded a bit like the 600 AD overworld music. I must be losing my mind.

Nice and light, very enjoyable. I especially love the ...'beat'(?) that comes in at 1:05; gives the song a great texture and contrasts nicely to the other instruments. The improvisation of certain instruments (ie, the electric piano at 1:05) seems regid when compared to the backbeat, as does that asian-y instrument at 2:10. I prefer the minimalistic style of the piano improvisation (like from 1:28 - 1:40). The transition to the different speed (is it a time sig change) at 1:42 seems a bit abrupt, but easy enough to adapt to.

I like how the peice builds without moving. It has a feel good vibe, great coffeehouse music. Definatly somthing I'd CD for home use

Yeah, there's totally some Wind Scene from Chrono Trigger thrown in later. It's a bit weird, but it fits. Funny that I say that; this song's all kinds of all over the place. Not that that's a bad thing. It's these sort of ReMixes that keep me from losing interest in the video game mixing genre. Sweet stuff.

I dig. That last section I don't mind so much, a slowed down version of Shnabubula? Those clicks are a distraction though. Groove bias.

Some remixers you hear and there's an improvement over time... you hear some WIPs and you figure they'll get better or will improve with pointers, collabs, or help. Some artists are here a while and learn how to kick ass at what they do. Some artists have the odd good track and/or get by on innovation and creativity...

But then every once in a while a guy just has his shit together right off the bat. RTF is one of those guys.

Amazing interpretation, quality is to par, great arrangement skill, very very enjoyable take.

I expect nothing less than a 9/10 for all RTF tracks.

Wow thanks for the comments guys!

And I don't know what are you all talking about, there is no such thing as a Chrono Trigger reference in there.

Beautiful Work Buddy!! I can't wait to see what you do next. DJP made a great point also, some of the choices you made make me WANT to hear this stuff in the original, you can't do much better than that when it comes to remixing.
