Woot! First review!

Pretty decent.
The flute at the begining could have been a bit better, and it was too short, but overall, I quite enjoyed it.
Made me think of a drinking song. :)

Nice live sound.

Like the judges said, it doesn't deviate from the original melody too much but there's plenty accompaniment to keep it fresh. Great feel to the whole song. I felt as though the guitar and piano could have used a little more variation, especially the piano with the strictly staccato hits.

Sucks that the short intro comprised 1/4 of the song, but, I guess that which you have less of you hold more dearer to your heart :)

Oh and I really like your rendition "Eternal Wind".

Flute intro is sloppy. Every after 0:26, however, is excellent. Good work with the live playing.

The flute intro is a bit shaky, but the rest of the piece is excellent. I do wish it was a little bit longer, though!

It was well played...but the fact that there was little deviation from the original makes me wanna just listen to the...original.

A little on the short side. I would have liked to have heard this mix mold into perhaps another CT song. I'm a sucker for long medleys (Means less fumbling around my playlist every few minutes to choose a song. I'm OCD.) Moving on, the recording is *TOP NOTCH* - excellent dynamics, sounding full utilizing perfectly necessary panning (Can make or a break a song). Generally sounds like I'm sitting in a small room seeing these guys playing live. Definitely plenty of talent to go around here. Please continue submitting ReMixes to OCR. I love this.

I've always liked Frog's theme, and I like where you went with this. Unfortunately, the song was just way too short for me. I'd actually prefer a song that's too long than too short.

This song is very close to being a straight cover. It's good, but it's hardly original. The tempo has been altered slightly, making it a bit faster. That's really the only major change that I've noticed. It's strikingly similar to the arranged From theme that came with the PS1 remake (I believe). The only thing missing is the percussion.

Not to say that it's bad, by any means. It's just not very original.

Default Excellent.

Here is some easy proof that you've created something excellent; I listened to it a couple times, grabbed a pair of headphones (Ear buds, technically), slammed them into the back of the computer in exchange for the speakers and set Winamp to Loop.

Granted, I can agree that it's very close to just being a cover, and it's on OC remix, but the quality is superb. I really liked the solo-flute opening, so much so that I listened to it a few times by itself.

A suggestion for any and all listeners, lest you have some extraordinary speakers, turn them up high or put on headphones; there is very subtle detail you can't hear unless you've got either going for you.

Awesome. A personal favorite now. I have to gather up some cash and purchase Select Start's CD; I didn't even know there was one.
