Default OCR00795 - Final Fantasy IX 'Rose of April'

Final Fantasy 9 'Rose of April'

This is a very nice orchestral arrangment by master. master indeed. My only compliant on this one is that the ending is so very sudden. It's kind of like you've just been swept off your feet, flying around for a while, and then you are just dropped and you don't land on your feet. It may only be from 10 feet, but still, people can break their legs from that height if they don't land right. Great piece of music master, keep it up.

Well, as some of you may or may not know, this track actually was leaked by the judges before being posted. I had done this mock up ReView at the time for fun. Most of my comments still stand.

Well, I heard this song awhile back when it was still in its "testing" phase, and I liked it then.

The sounds may not be the highest quality, but sometimes you have to overlook that, because every other aspect of this arrangement is really nice. Smooth and sweet :D

Just a note to DJP that the ReMixer field wasn't filled in on this one...I'm not sure if this is where this should go, so apologies if not.

I also heard this in "testing" as well, so my initial and usually most detailed review was already given. A very light and peaceful mix to a track that should be very light and peaceful :). Good choice of instruments, great mix.

Very nice piece. Great choice of instruments. I'd have to agree with Ginnsu on the ending. I found myself sitting, enjoying the music, then all of the sudden, "Huh?!" Thought the power went out or something. Very abrupt.

Overall though, nicely done.

Interesting name for the track, I know it more as "Loss of Me", Rose of May is an another name for it, so this was a delightful anagrammix. I likes those harps and strings very much, considering it´s April, this would suit good as a theme for the season spring. Everything wakes up from it´s wintery grave and gets alive again. But it was a short summer, the lovely tune eneded very quickly. Maybe not very quick, but it could have faded out.

This remix really embodies the emotion of the original track, unlike DJ Pheonix's "Losing Me Is Not An Option", which has a techno feel, this remix orchestrates the sadness the original track permeates. Very, very well done...

- This post is not meant to insult DJ Pheonix's rendition of "Rose of May", it is by far one of the best remixes on OC Remix, DJ Pheonix's rendition just has a much different feel.

Short and sweet, the harp and pizzicato sound great together. It doesn't elaborate too much, but it still has a nostalgic charm to the sound that I find appealing. It takes a few listens to get a good grasp of it, but it's short enough that repeat listens are pretty easy to do.
