This one kinda feels like it drags on for a long time.. Most of it
consists of just a piano covering the melody, accompanied by a
repeditive drum loop. In the last minute or so some bizzare sound effects
mix in to give a bit of variety.

This is VERY repetitive. The arpeggiated/octave variations on the melody really don't sit well in my mind. The drums are kind of bizzare and I really dislike the offset (odd number/4) time signature. I wouldn't recommend this ReMix.

Thumbs down for this mix. Sorry, but this seemed like a sad cover of another mix on this site of the same game.

I have to agree with the rest of the crew here; i'm not a fan of this mix. It basically sounds like the main theme was cut and pasted about 25 times and then random effects and accompaniments were added.

Where to begin...? This one certainly hasn't aged well.
What we have here is basically a repetitive piano loop with an equally repetitive drum loop. The piano and drums fit together in a 'Bad Tuna' sort of way. The only real arrangement comes in the form of annoying arpeggio effects, and even then, it's essentially the same loop. At the halfway point, we are subjected to a guitar-like distortion applied to the piano, after which the same loops from the first half repeat again.

I'd like to say something positive about this remix, but I can't find a single redeeming quality (except for the fact that it ends.) It's not good when things start getting annoyingly repetitive in the first 30 seconds, much less in the first 15. I don't really like saying this, but I feel it's warranted in this case: avoid this one (unless you are a sucker for punishment).

I usually try to emphasize on positive things when I write a review here, but I honestly don't think I can do that in this case. This mix consists ONLY of a repetitive piano and drum loop. I'll admit that at the end it did have some mildly cool sounds, but for the most part, I really didn't care for this.

Hmm.... not a great mix here imho.

The piano that opens sounds so dry and midi-like.
Then a weird drum pattern comes in with unusual panning :S
The strange thing about that drum part is that it is in triple time ( 12/8 ) where all the other instruments are in 4/4, which creates timing issues that reminds me of bad tuna, although it wasn't anywhere near as bad, at least the tempo was correct here.

After a while, the piano starts playing arpeggios as a variation of the main theme if you follow. You have to listen to it to understand, but its weird in my opinion.

And what is with that guitar sample? very random :P

not to mention it sounds like it clips when it goes down in volume in for each step.

more random piano craziness after

no bass as far as I can hear.

A very strange and weird mix.

Not recommend.

No.
Just no.

The dinky piano plus those random beats and electric guitar equals not good.
It would be so much greater if it just focused on the piano arrangement.
