Xenogears 'Transient Sands ~ Dazil'

What can I say? I love the original, and I love Matt Pollard's version. Great blend of rock and Indian instruments. And the whispering at the end really gives the song a new dimension (what's he SAYING, anyway? ;) ) Another worthy download from mp!

Awesome mix! I love the way it has a rockin' sitar, It's like an electric on a killer amp, but it's a SITAR! Cool ethnic percussion, and really cool whispering. One of my favorite mp tunes, and he has some cool ones (also check out Lufia II - Of Sinistrals and Men). Very, very cool mix of ethnic & rock sounds. YEHAW!

I love sitars. I love tablas. I love rock. I love this ReMix. :D

[Sirocco]

Woooo, tablas sound FRESH man! The sitar drone is and strums are extremely sick! I didn't think accoustic drums would come in but they did, with success. Some nice fills there and the likes. The drums are mixed in extremely well, sounds good on the overall! Nice job!

All of the percussion is fantastic and really pops. The sitar is nice, though im not completely sold on the fake electric guitar. The clean sound was good, but the distortion really wasn't.
The arrangement was nice, and overall the song is good,but the fake guitar brings it down.

[Chickenwarlord]

Decent level of arrangement, but it doesn't really surpass the original in any aspect. The drums drive just enough to get the job done, so it's definitely one that I can listen to from start to finish without getting bored, but it is a little on the slow side for the choice of instruments in the latter half.

[CHIPP Damage]

A very recognizable slow version of the melody at the beginning. I like the sitar sound way in the back with the drums on top of it afterwards. The electric guitar addition was nice. It gets real guitar heavy with a somewhat dark sounding solo at 1:40 which is cool, but man, I'm having a hard time finding the melodies of the originals in this song during all the parts besides the ones that start from 0:17 and 0:57. Am I missing them or are that clean part and the dark solo at the both original additions? I really like the overall feeling and the whole "divided into easily understandable parts" arrangement system used in this mix. I think this is one of those mixes that is hard to label with a genre name, which works in it's favor. ^_^ I would like to have heard some arranging of the "less than main" melodies of this song (assuming I haven't just missed them.) Pretty good job in my unprofessional opinion.

[DragonAvenger]

Definately nice work on the drums. Sitar really works for this piece, setting the style and mood. The guitar is fakey, but alright. It would definately be better with a liver performance.

I was left wondering and wanting more at the end, could have stood to be a bit longer, perhaps a recap of the beginning, or something. Overall, nicely done.

[Evil_Cronos]

The beginning of the mix sounds like a remix of one of the prehistoric themes from Chrono Trigger. Then the source shows up slowly and repetitively until the rock style takes the stage. Overall the rock rendition doesn't really suit the town in the game but the song itself is well done and enjoyable.

I like how the mix just starts abruptly and builds as the drums, guitar, etc. are introduced. The guitar break around 1:15 or so is very nice as well. Also like the whispering in the background towards the end. Very nice work!
