Default OCR00247 - Final Fantasy VII 'Ancient Steps Retraced'

Final Fantasy 7 'Ancient Steps Retraced'

I really do enjoy this remix. It's a simple synth line over a stereo
spread drum line, but I really like the original. It's simple, and that's
what it's got going for it.

I like the mix, just cause I like the song from the video game, I'd easily give this a 10/10 from my bias, but other than it's catchiness, it's not musically intense, still a good song, probably around a 8/10 - 9/10

The first thing I noticed is that the strings in the background sound a lot like those in the James Bond theme.
The second thing I noticed is that the melody (the C64 sounding thing) didn't play as big a part as perhaps it could've done.

But still, it's certainly worth the download, definitely.

Very catchy! I like what LousySpy has done with the temple theme from FF7...it's always been one of my favorite songs from the game, and I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this take on it.

While the percussion and synth are the main forces at work here, there's some subtle but very nice piano and string segments that add to the overall effect.

If Cloud were listening to this, I bet he never would have given Seph the Black Materia...he'd be too busy groovin' to the music!

First remix I ever downloaded. Love the Bond intro. The rest is fairly mediocre in OCR terms, though.

Better than the stuff on the radio.

It gets abruptly to the point and stays there. The synth seems to poke fun at the 'game' aspect of FF7 while the drums give it a nice creeptacular feel at times. I much agree with Mog. Nice groovage here. My only dissapointment was that it never gets more lively. It's just a matter of preference though. G'job!

THe drums here are awesome, the feel is great and the processing on them is very fitting. The old skool lead synth is a little too cheesy for this I think, and the strings early on got a bit repetitive, but later on in the song, things got mixed up with some syncopation and made it interesting again.

Default Not too shabby...

I recognized the tune and semi-enjoyed the remix. I have hardly any music aptitude so slap me if u must, but 7/10 is what I give you, GJ.
