Default OCR00804 - Chrono Trigger 'The Mellow Corridor'

Chrono Trigger 'The Mellow Corridor'

Besides the fact that this is just a different take on a song that I feel we have heard too many times already, it is an excellent piece of work. I'd also have to say that this isn't the best version I've heard of this song. But no matter, the drum beat and bass beat are especially alluring to my tastes. Excellent work The Graceful Failure, keep it up.

This definately isn't a bad remix, especially having to get over the hurdle of getting the judge's votes on something that's been so frequently remixed in the past. It does have a subtle "mellow" vibe to it, but at parts it could've been softened up a bit to stick closer to its title. djprezel's said it before, but I'm gonna redirect the same advice to The Graceful Failure...it's a nicely done remix, and I think it'd be great if you redirected your talent to less-covered songs/titles. Although, of course I encourage you to do what you enjoy of course, whether it be sticking with some of the more popular material or not.

This song has a good beat and some decent instrumentation. But IMO, this isn't the best remix of Time Circuits/Zeal here. Still, not that bad of a start for a newcomer. But I think The Graceful Failure should change his name to The Graceful Success.

I find it funny that this was posted after my name change... :)

I don't feel that this remix adds anything to the original song. It sounds like something that was pulled from an old Mega Man game. I'd actually rather listen to the original.

Bass is too loud...plus yeah, it adds nothing to the original, just syncopation and new electric instruments.

It´s a good remix, you got the mellow feeling alright, but the whole mix is just the original being placed with techno instruments. Not necessarily a bad thing, but compared to the ridiculously many other Zeal remixes, this is just another one. BUT!..if you do something hardly touched, I would be proud to be there, because the remixing of this song is not bad.

Repetitive with a few serious EQ issues, mainly the ultra piercing synth that comes in when the bass drops out for a section. Ouch. ;_;

There are some cool arrangement ideas that keep it fresh throughout, like the bass-heavy breakdown, but nothing really new is added to the mix, just sections that feature specific elements of the song.

It's pretty easy to see why this song is mixed so often, but I'm not sure this mix really lives up to the original.

Nothing crazy happening to the mix, but it holds true to the name in that effect. I'm not really wowed, but I'm not hating it either. Just a different take on an oft-remixed theme.

One of my favourite remixes of this particular source. It has already been mentioned but the song has too much of a bass level. I recall quite a few years ago when I had to take the bus downtown to get to school and this song was something I listened to everyday for about three months, along with a few other remixes. I remember having to shut off the bass boost function on my old portable cd player because the bass had noise when it played. Overall a very good mix.
