Really delicate work. Imma likey. The part that stood out for me was at around 1:41 with the ostinato in the vocals. The harmonies there are especially pleasing for my ears. Great work!!

Interesting. A hard melody to remix, especially when the original was so beautiful. But I think you made some good choices here and maintained the sense of sadness and wonder that surrounds this theme.

My only complaint is that the beginning is way abrupt. Coming in straight away on the beat with the voice... I don't think that was a particularly inspired decision.

Overal, this is a well done piece, and I'm glad you didn't mix Japanese and English like you did on the Chrono Trigger Mix.

I am rarely disappointed by anything by pixietricks. I love everything about this piece, especially the lyrics. Very descriptive and poetic in all ways. Don't ever stop mixing!

I'm not sure what to say. I expected something differen't which is why i suppose the mix doesn't touch me the way most guys prolly want it to...haha, Ok, being serious the pads overlap the vocals alittle. The beat has nothing to it and its progression is too chill to be romantic. I feel like shes the ghost, stalking someone. The vocals aren't as good as i see credited. Its an ok mix...in a point of view or mindset it sure can relate and yes its pretty good. Not enough passion progression and hmm another p word...paraphyllic?....beat stings my ears....not as bad as i make it sound, everyone else loves it. It just can be much better. flatlined.

I'm the complete opposite. I loved the way this burst onto the scene, like a brief explosion of magical stardust candy. That's really the only way I can describe it. Very unique for an otherwise very chill mix.

I'm listening to this on my laptop speakers, so perhaps I'm missing some of the acoustic range, but the drum work seems fine to me. No complaints at all on this piece.

Once again, Jill both astounds and soothes with her calming voice. A light and airy appetizer for sweet dreams.

Took me three listens, and yeah I like this one. Vocals are great, especially the layering done with different vocal tracks, sounds lovely. I wish the drums in the first half of the song were a little... tighter? I dunno, it feels like they're a tad off beat. But the dissonance sorta adds to the song's general mood, so I guess that's a plus. This thing ends well too. Good stuff, I'm gonna throw it on my phone. Oh the whispering is awesome, btw.

Your voice has a great tone to it, I like it better in this than your previous stuff. The lyrics totally turn me on, I'm like 100% erect right now...

Only thing is, I'd prefer it to be about 10 years older. What I mean is, a mid 90s sound to this would be so much better. Some very mellow, wanky guitar soloing in the background, and an Elton John-esque piano coming in once in a while to blow things up.

Also, it would really benefit from a deep, fretless bass.

Good work!

Ah man... This would have been SO awesome if you'd have put the same effort into the drums throughout as you did to the part at 3:05, but they bring the whole thing down for me. I can just picture a solid bar of purple on a fruity loops playlist when I listen to them, which makes me cringe.

That aside, the voice work is amazing as usual. Beautiful harmonies make for some dreamy listening. Not enough can be said about your vocal work, really. Looking forwards to your next mix.
