So yeah, this is basically great because the original was great, but the ending was neat.

Hmm, the original is one of my favorite songs anywhere, really wish you would have done more with it instead of simply ripping the spc/midi and rendering with hq synths and a beatloop, oh well, I wish on. I suppose I can thank blind for a better version of the original, though I didnt like the lead.

Actually, there was no "ripping" of anything. I started from scratch with EVERYTHING, even the instruments. I spent a lot of time remaking it and I never even looked at the midis because they were all wrong notation anyway (thats cheating) and the whole purpose was to improve the orignal, i didnt "remix" it this time...

As far as im concerned arrangments are just as welcome here as remixs. Just because it wasn't a true "remix" doesnt mean its not great, i love this song, thnx blind :).

This is probably one of my new favorite remixes! The original song was great but this one ads a little spicy goodness to it.

This is arranged well, but it's still too close to the original and probably more thought should've been put into this, because there's a fair amount of remixes that sound almost exactly like the original. Granted, it's a wonderful piece to start with and the quality of this remix is good too, I just think it should be a little more original (but that's just me)...

Ahhh such a lovely song. I am torn with my opinion though. It doesn't wander from the original much, but then again I don't think that one could change the original composition and maintain the same atmosphere the song resonates. Very good choice of instruments. Good production quality.

Hey, I dunno about all of you, but I LOVE the fact that it doesnt stray too far. I like Mixes that improve, rather than near-replace a song.

Mixers who do this VERY well are
1: AilSean
2: Rimco
3: OrkyBash

Listen to the mixes Terra in Black, Geno's Woods, and Winds of Time to get an understanding of what I mean.

In any case, this mix totaly rules, great work!

This is masterful. The way of making the original sound better, which is hard...

bLiNd, you're truly one of the greatest...

Beautiful... it may not stray far from the original, but nonetheless is brilliantly executed with the perfect atmosphere and charm of the original.
You made a great track better!
