OverClocked ReMix...

Terranigma 'Crysta Dreams'

Dang... i was really hoping for something a bit more special for our first Terranigma mix. DC13 builds up some nice ambiance in the intro, but drops it. There's some nice sounds here, but it doesn't really stray very far from the original. DJP said in his review, "some very nice percussion riffs that move across the stereo field and add a great sense of space to the mix." Well, sorry to break it to ya DJP, but those were right out of the original too. So overall, I would say get it if you're not familiar with the original or desperate for Terranigma stuff (then again, who isn't? :D ) Otherwise, pass this one up.

Ahhh, yes, Crysta Dreams. I used to have a link here to the original .IT but I have since lost it :(

I liked the original a lot. The remix is good, but I think it's a bit too short. The added sound "nature" sound effects were a nice touch. Good strings.

I loved it. This is one of my favorites to listen to. I like the idea of keeping it close to the original. If you stray too far, it loses it's charm and isn't as recognizable. I think sometimes we get too caught up in who can make the coolest sounding mix of song. Personally, I just want to hear versions of video game music that don't stray too far from the original. I like ot hear what it would sound like if a live band or an orchestra did it.

Just way too short.

Very elegant and smooth though. I enjoyed the little bit there was.

Good work.

A very good take on the original. Short, but the original wasn't very long, so it's understandable. All in all, I like the song. If you haven't played this game, I'd recommend the game, also.

One of my favorite tracks from the game.

The mix is really nice, but the flute is killing me. :( It's way too piercing.
The ambience is great, and the song has a fantastic mood, despite being short. I'd love this song forever if it didn't physically pain me to listen to. :(

Hahaha, that's kind of contradictory :) :) :) :)

I know :(

It's like having a lot of spicy chicken wings that are delicious. Once you have a certain amount, you want to eat more, but your body just can't handle it. It would literally explode into meaty chunks.

That is like this mix. I want to listen to it more, but if I do, I will explode (literally) into meaty chunks.

This was a pleasant surprise. I just wish everything didn't drop out at the end as others have mentioned. The ambience sounds are awesome and do a great job complimenting the instrumentation. The flute was a little piercing but it didn't kill the song for me. The ethnic percussion was a nice touch. A good classic OCR song DC13.
