Ys 'Feena Flow'


Wonderful sounds in this one. The plucked strings have a nice deep and
rich sound, the pads later on fill a nice high register, and the piano is
soft and delicate. Overall a nice light remix.

I dig those pizzicato strings the intro, besides that, the mix gets a bit bland for my tastes. Still, pretty cool stuff from Joe.

Great song. It's on my fav playlist. I never even played the game.
Luscious (sp?) pads and beautiful synths. Great mix.

This was one of the first songs I downloaded from OCR, and I still listen to it daily. Too bad it was the only song that came out choppy on my OCR faves mix disc

The light nature of it perfectly recaptures the delicate aura of the overall feeling of Ys. I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and this makes me bittersweet because I love Ys, but can no longer play it. My Duo is dying! Since this song may be all I have to hold onto, for the moment, I treasure it more and more with each listen, and bless you, Mr. Redifer.

omg those plucked strings are amazing. The piano comes in beautifully. Then the pads add a nice touch. I can't stress enough though on how much i love those plucked strings. I keep listening to them over and over again. Easily one of my favorite mixes.

The mix starts out very inspired with some very nice plucked strings, but once they fade, things get a little more mundane. It's still a relaxing mix, and it's difficult to mix something that Falcom has remixed itself so many times, but the delayed piano keeps things looking up, and the sweet sounding chimes are a great touch.

Y's has some great music and are some damn fun games, now onto the mix.

I def like the chill feel of this one. The composition is still driving and has some pace, but the soundscape still provides for a very relaxing mix to listen to. I'm surprised this is all the way back 00' as it still sounds really good today. It's testament to the production values on this.

Love the opening. I wish that bubbliness had stayed throughout the rest of the song. The pizz strings were wonderfully done, definatly a resource that should have been used more.

I'm pretty much quoting OA, but once the intro faded, things start to get a little forgetable. It's a nice melody, and nicely done, but the rest of the song doesn't stick out like the intro does.

Definately a keeper for me, overall, nice work.

[K.B.]

This is simply gorgeous. I'd stack this up against any of the professionally redone versions (the non-orchestral ones anyway), that's how much I like it. Maybe the intro is the best part, which reminds me more of FF7's Buried In The Snow than Ys' Feena (or it's just a truly creative take on Feena!), but the changes in instrumentation and pacing keep things more, not less, interesting throughout. Plus with the changeups, Mr Redifer manages to cover the entire source tune. My only stumbling block in the arrangement is that at 1:42 I keep expecting this to break into Xenogears' Omen, but that's my own problem :p.

My only real complaint is that I wish this remix didn't end with a held synth note, since it closes the track with an ominous feeling; but this is a minor thing. Beautiful song; thoroughly enjoyable.

[Master_Yoshi]

The intro was killer. The rest of it really was quite meh to me. Maybe I need to play this game to "get it" but I just wasn't feeling this track.

Ok, so this mix is old. 2003 old. The sounds are definitely dated, I can forgive them. If I look at this mix from that angle, I can forgive a lot of things. Hell I still listen to SNES music, so no big deal. It's got some catchy sections, and if I knew the source I would probably like it a bit more. Still quite listenable, and that intro alone is worth the price of admission.
