Default OCR00774 - Guardian Legend 'Hyperion'

I must say this is a great mix from a pretty great artist (I loved Aphrodite Oceanus).
This is a nice soft smooth tune with some nice 'tinkly' (Teehee, I said 'tinkly') piano. The guitar strumming is also soft and sweet. The whole tune has a sort of laid back feel to it, until the electric guitar comes in.
That bugger busts in with some heavier playing and kinda throws the whole peaceful mood of the song out the window, but it retires quickly.

If I had one complaint for this song, it would be that the guitar sample used in the heavier areas wasn't as good, quality wise, as the other samples used.

The soft, swisshy drum loop beautifully compliments this subdued but powerful arrangement of acoustic/dist guitars and piano. And when you have dist guitars you can't go wrong with bells. ;)

Beautiful, moving piece. I've never played the game or heard the original but this is well worth the download.

This one's absolutely gorgeous. I love the dynamic variety of the piece. In fact, it's pretty much perfect :) IMO one of this site's best.

Default Wingless is the best.

The wingless J.A. Burnett blows my mind once again with this incredible remix.
This mix is simply etheral. As the liquid acoustic guitar and piano play, I have to resist closing my eyes and swaying my head to the rhythm...it's almost hypnotizing. Then when the guitars come in, I feel empowered and I just wanna headbang to it...for a few seconds. It's just amazing.

THE WINGLESS IS THE BEST!!! NO ONE WILL EVER BE BETTER!!!

Edit: Oh, I just listened to it again and my roommate asked me, "What is that?". He rarely ever asks and when he does, you KNOW it's a great remix...because he usually isn't into my remixes and he's only ever asked me twice before, for..."Aphrodite Oceanus" (Also by The Wingless) and "Fury of the Furries".

I'd just be repeating what everyone else said about this mix if I did a full review, so I'll just give it a 90%. Nice Work!


Oh, and one more thing. I don't really mind the guitars in the heavy areas, but that's probably because of one or more of the following things:

1. I was using headphones on my laptop to listen to this, and/or

2. I'm deaf in the left ear [poor me]

You'll only recognise the tune if you've beaten Guardian Legend, as it's based largely on the closing credits' theme. Very nice though, love it. It goes on my easy listening cd, along with Rosenthorne. Anyday.

Overall a nice piece, though the synth guitars detract a bit from the overall feeling. The softer sections are spot on however. The delay on the acoustic guitar and piano creates an incredible texture, and elements fade in and out very smoothly, and the balance is really good.
If the guitars sounded better, this would be great, but as is, it's simply very good.

I love this piece. The Wingless does a great job of creating a relaxing atmosphere with builds. Perhaps he should stick to Guardian Legend stuff, as he seems to chip in his best work for it.

I think this is one of the first mixes I've heard from here. I still remember being shocked that there were other people who liked the music from "The Guardian Legend". I can still remember being upset when my uncle would play this and turn the volume down so he could play country music instead of the in game music.

Anyways, onto the actual mix:

I can't tell if the guitar is real or sampled, either way, it sounds great. The piano sounds nice as always. The heavier sections are also very cool. It took me a few listens to recognize the theme being mixed, but when I did, I liked how it was incorporated. I can honestly say that I don't have any complaints with this mix, the emotion conveyed with the sequencing of this arrangemeng along with the feeling of nostalgia I get from hearing anything from The Guardian legend is just awesome.
