Default OCR00150 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 'River of Time AmIEviL'

Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time 'River of Time AmIEviL'

Honestly, AmI's work is quite good but I wish he'd actually create some fancy titles for his mixes rather than just "Some Game 'AmIEvil'". Well, I suppose this does sort of have a proper title, so I'll let him off this time :P. Nice soft instruments and percussion, soothing rain sounds and yeah. Calm kind of forest music, sort of like that stuff you get on those nature CDs from that National Geographic shoppy place (not that I've ever been inside one).

Default River of Time AmIEvil review

I honestly love this piece. The soft tone of the music and the river sounds in the background give it a very nice feel, and very suited to the name ('cept the AmIEvil part). I also love the way the song of time blends into the song of storms at about 1:40... Nicely done.

Default River of Time

When I first heard this remix, all I could think was, "Ooo... preeeetty."
Then I read Jivemaster's remark. Now everytime I hear it I remember my last trip through the Natural Wonders store. Shame on you, Jivemaster. :P

Seriously though, this mix really scratched an itch.
Though the Temple of Time had decent bgm, I always felt it lacked something in depth. I think this track adds in the depth that was missing.

Kudos to ya, AmIEvil. :D

Okay. Somebody shoot me. I just downloaded this mix for the first time. I thought I had all the zelda mixes but I must have missed this one. -_-

In the opening, that almost sounds like a..I dun wanna say it..a cowbell. Lol. Anyone who reads this and knows anything about music is gonna be like "Wtf is he talking about?". Well unfortunately, I dont know jack about music cept I play the guitar, and not even very well. Anyways, when the flute/ocarina comes in at 1:40 or so, somewhere in there, really caught my attention. Nice emphasis on it and what not.

Overall, very slick mix

Been waiting for one of the like.

...Probably should have seen it sooner though.

-Doug

I really like this song. While listening to it I picture a dark wet cave where Link's staying to keep out of the rain.

"Needs more cowbell."

Edit to actually add content: Yes, this is a very good track, good enough to make it into my "favourites" playlist.

Wonderful. I've always loved the SOng of Time, as well as AmIEvil's remixes. And the rain in the background really adds to the remix. I especially like the part about 1:50 through the track when the Windmill theme kick in.. very naturally too. Fantastic.

I love the ambience! Very immersing and very enjoyable. I can't get enough of AmIEvil's ambient songs. He needs to be making movie soundtracks or something.

I could never really get into this song. All the random arrangements from zelda 64 seem well.. dry (GET IT? PUN?). It seems like AmIEvil was just mixing his way through it going "alright that's fun let's make a slow paced intro reminiscent to song of time... with some rain in the background of course... then more rain... then the actual song of storms... then more rain... then a poorly placed ending". Yes I'm oversimplifying terribly and being a complete jerk considering the exceedingly high quality of the fx and the instruments, but the "medley" of some sorts is formulaic and unimpressive. Vatever. 3/8

Ah, another great remix by AmIEvil. This song flows very smoothly, and reminds you of great times you had playing the game itself, but with new experiances. To me, this song reminds me of riding over a river, which leads well for the title of the song, though pouring rain, which would be kind of hard to miss, unless of course, your not auctually listening to the song.

This song pulls in many peices from the Zelda games, putting them in a plesant, scerene situation, and hordes your attention for much longer then the peice lasts. I definatly recomend this peice, to just about anyone, expecially if you need to fall asleep, which is not an insult. Just very relaxing, the type of song that leads to nice dreams. Great job!
