Chrono Trigger 'Ruined World (Eternal Derelict)'

This is, in my opinion. one of CotMM's best tracks. Definately sounds like it's from the soundtrack of a CT movie. Sets up some GREAT ambience, then builds a slow-moving (in a good way) melody on top of it. Then just as it starts to get boring, CotMM changes it up, first shifting out the melody and adding in some de-tuned bells, then bringing in a new melody (this one from The Day the World Revived). I would LOVE to know what COTMM had in mind with this, as it sounds like there was definately a concept behind it that goes beyond the music. Highly recommended.

I'm just not built for appreciating the stuff CotMM puts out. Except this. As high-brow as this may be, it's still accessible, mainly due to it's high chill-out factor. DJ Pretzel described it best, as the sonic equivalent of Oriental calligraphy.

I usually am not a big fan of any of the CotMM remixes, but this one just struck me differently than their other remixes. It just has a nice, smooth beat that for some reason makes me think of mourning over a tragic event. I realize that sounds pretty abstract, it's a moot point. CotMM put together a great remix

this mix makes me feel like the loneliest person in the world

I didn't know that such an obscure "song" could be remixed so well. CotMM does an excellent job keeping the background as the main subject, as it was in the original. The sounds and music used were overall soothing, making its length enjoyable rather than taxing. I enjoyed this remix thoroughly, which is quite good considering this was one of my least favorite songs in Chrono Trigger.

[Child of Kirby]

Tired, and weary, the weathered-faced man wandered with a slow, hesistant step into what he once called home. The outskirts of town were utterly ravaged, both by storm, and by time, the very faint traces of the energy that tore so horribly through steel and gravel assaulting his senses. A step foward, and a pause was all he offered as he stared up at the massive, now twisted and battered peaks of towers previously standing on either side of the massive stronghold a few miles ahead of him. His body seized and fell, his knees hitting the ground as his head lowered, accepting the fall of the acidic, corrosive rain that struck his head, neck and coat. The fountain beside him already bore the scars of the rain, declaring it's downfall in entropy.

After several minutes of staring at the ground in disbelief, and his brain swirling in mesmerization at the light ringing of the rusted old bell outside of the tailor's, he lifted his body up and turned away from the castle. With a brief look to the sky, he nodded, seemingly to himself as he whispered an unintelligable phrase to his invisible companion above him. Lifting up his blade, he continued on, away from the city.

Vengeance would be his, and Togras would fall at his hand, if he had any say in it...

That's what *I* think when I listen to this track.

Oh, by the way, I like it. In fact, it's my favorite mix on OCR, no questions at all. For anyone who likes epic, atmospheric pieces, especially something to put in the background of your tabletop RPG games, and your party just happens to be passing through an old, destroyed town... This is your piece.

10/10

If total nothingness invoked an auditory response, this is the closest thing to it that I can think of. The true domain of this music as well as all of CotMM's tunes, is the realm of entropy and perfection. I've found solace and beauty in all of his recent works... but this takes the cake.

Keep with it CotMM... keep with it.

10/10

Like the track itself, my review will be simple and concise.

Pleasing to the ear, original, and very moody. this track proves that a mix doesnt have to be busy or complecated to be effective. this track in its simple beauty is up there with the best from McV, DJP, AmIE, Protricity, and anyone else whose name rhymes with those.

Wow. This mix is truly incredible. It really is a very simple piece, but it conveys emotions very well. I want to put it in my playlist, but I feel like putting anything after it would just not work. A very good track.
