OverClocked ReMix...

Final Fantasy 10 'Far from Home'

Well, I feel a tad guilty getting the first word in on another of my mixes, but I guess I'm the only one on the boards to get the reviews integrated for this one. Anyway, I have to say I'm very satisfied with this song. Which is funny, because it sat on my hard drive for three months with me not satisfied at all with it. So what do I do? Extend the drum loop a few measures and bump the synth up an octave for those measures. After listening to the "new" version, I think "hey, that worked, I think i'll release it now."

So I did.

And now it's one of the few pieces of music I've made that I listen to myself on a regular basis.

Anyway, I would recommend that you download it, but then again I'm a tad biased, aren't I? :D

Your bias is suprisingly warranted in this situation. I like this remix too. I'm trying to think of the words to describe it, but honostly, it's difficult. I often find that it's easier to write a review of a bad remix than of a good one, simply because there's more to say. The enitre thing works well together, as one whole piece, and the synth effects are very smoothly intregrated into the main piano piece. Just download this exelent remix already!

The first part freak me out, it seemed as a rip of Jared Husdon's Killer Instict remix, but when I heard the piano come in I was relieved. A nice music, every FF fan sould download. :)

aww man, I was had a remix of this song in my head that was very similar to this! aww well. Sounds great though! I really like the synth sounds, and the bass shakes my house! Good job!

All in all, I felt this piece lacked a strong presence. I enjoyed the various components of the song... all of the instruments were well utilized, there was good consistancy with the original while providing variation, etc. However, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by the total effect the remix impressed upon me. This is not entirely the remixer's problem, I believe that the original was very lackluster as well. However, this mix did very little to draw me in and keep me interested. The end result, I felt that this was a very beautiful, well arranged piece that simply didn't hold my attention.

I certainly look forward to future remixes.

I really hate the original for this song, its kinda plain and boring

But this is good, its has the piano feel from the original, but makes it better and the background fits in really well so its not as... bad... as the original for lack of a better expression. I'd prefer this as the FFX opening, its a great remix

Great job here Orkybash. I think that you really captured the essence of this song. The uptempo beat went well with the song and the piano was done very well. I enjoyed this song very much. Good Job!

Oooh, very nice. Seems to have a subtle life to it, like an underlying force...

No, I'm not getting into the technical part. Great mix!

Hey Illaminus, you made the mistake of thinking that this was a Killer Instincts song too, eh?
When I first hear the piano come in, I was thinking ... what the hell is going on?!
Then I started to actually listen to the tune ... turned out that this was a great one in the making ...
IMHO, the piano was beautiful ... and once the beat kicked in ... damn! ... this song was really well done!
