What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

This went directly onto my HD. :)

This reminds me alot of Reu's Schenmue mix. Which is also friggin amazing. Highly emotive piano that sounds like it's from a real serious anime.

Good things:

Attention to dynamics, wonderful build-ups and breakouts. Just when you think it can't get more emotive it does.

Melody and harmony are awesome. I just wanna sit back and listen.

Left hand technique. This is really the bread winner for this mix.

I don't like the balance in this track. The left hand seems like it's flooding out the right without contributing much to the arrangement. I've been listening to this a few times to be sure, but I feel that more subtle compositional choices would have improved the mix substantially. See 1:45, 2:20-3:00. The later part should be the climax. It feels instead like a wall of sound most of the time.

I liked it, I'm really just waiting for Reuben to get hired to do some soundtrack for a huge anime or film. He has all the talents there to pull of something amazing. Almost everything he does is highly emotional and just sounds great

I liked djp's writeup as much as the song.

I thought the title sounded familiar. I got this off VGMix about a year ago. It hasn't changed at all since then. Hmmm... "date modified 3/30/06" Well, almost a year.

Anywho, really great mix. Love the overall flow; takes you all over the freaking place.

Great stuff. Sick track. Love it. Added it to my sleep list, and to the CD I take with me when I get massages. My therapist plays the VGM mix CDs I give her for other people too and they're always complimenting.

Keep 'em comin' - this is great.

I don't remember the original very well so any comparisons I may have made are moot, but as a piece of music, it stands alone very well.

I love the sublties of piano remixes, and this one definitely delivers, Buildup before the end has a lot of drama and everything throughout is well played.

Nice work, i dig it. :D

I felt the same way. Even on headphones and turning the bass down it was like "BASSBASSBASSBASS" in my ears.

Other than that, it was pretty (can you say that and stay manly?).

I am a huge fan of Kee's work. Really. I love his music. But for some reason I can't agree with the previous posters. Maybe it's because it sounds like all the songs my brother plays over and over again and I stop listening to them. I actually couldn't hear the song while it was playing because it wasn't captivating enough. So, sorry Mr. Kee, the music just seems dead to me right now.
