Chrono Cross 'Nikki Learns a Song'


First off, I love a nice long remix. I love songs I can get into for several
minutes. Not that I dont love short little gems like Music of my Groin,
but when a song gives you time to get to know it and hear development,
I just love it. This track is no exception. It's got several different
personalities that come and go, thrashy, smooth and wild.. a great
track by Ailsean.

Nikki's Song is one of my favorite tracks from CC, and Ailsean did a magnificent job of capturing the feel of the original while fleshing it out, so that it makes the song sound more human (demi-human? hehe) and makes the "correct" playing sound that much more triumphant. :D

Star Level: 10/10!

I was astonished to see this track didn't have any reviews until now. It's one of the few ReMixes that have earned a coveted place on my hard drive (well, maybe not coveted...but with only 2GB, you gotta keep only the best).

I suppose the only thing that could be held against this Mix is that it's too close to the original (virtually note-for-note, in fact). I guess it's more of a "ReMake" than a ReMix, so to speak (ha, aren't I clever...). But it's a darn good one, and definitely deserves its coveted place on OCR. Now it's time for it to earn a special place on your hard drive, too. Don't ask, just download.

this track is brilliant, I must've listened to it about 4 times when I first downloaded it.

Any guitar song automatically goes in my top 10 list. 1:13 really starts off well with just strings then later joined with the guitar. It really makes a good combo.

[Eric Cartman]

Am I the only one who notices that there is some horrible background noise starting at 1:12 along with the other instruments? I usually like Ailsean's covers, and would've liked this too, but the background noise is annoying and doesn't go away until near the end :(

[DragonFireKai]

Yes, you are. unless you consider the background music harsh noise. Perhaps the download was corrupted? try downloading it again, it is a truly great song, and a shame for anything to diminish it.[/quote]

[Draco Icebane]

If the download had corrupted, the song would not play at all.

He is referring to the lower notes of the guitar during the initial part where Nikki repeatedly screws up, which are a bit scratchy and annoying. Passing that part, the rest of the song is awesome, besides the occasional note being on purposely way off (I personally think applying an effect to the correct note would have had better results, but that's just me).

[Vero]

I can't really stand the beggining, but after that, it gets really good.

[maestermatt]

it's a really good song :D
