What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

Ziwtra, I really admire the nuance present in a lot of your work. This one is no exception. It's like IDM/break beat. IBB, if you will.

Calming... I enjoy knowing what the sfx are - they add something good, I think. I'm glad you're releasing music somewhat regularly again.

In Search of the Holy Sword is the best track from FFA. I've been waiting ages for a mix of it to hit OCR.

This is downright beautiful. Perhaps quite a bit more liberal than I'd like, since I love the melody of the original, but once I stopped trying to pick out every fragment of melody, the whole thing came together.

And that's when 3:27 hit. Easy connection with the source just came down like a hammer. Total love. <3

Excuse me for being high, but I find myself harmonizing along with this track, making believable additions of new melodies.

This is some really chill stuff and I appreciate what it must have taken to get it to sound so 'right.'

And just who the hell is this Ziwtra?

Awesome stuff dude, more FFA mixes is always a good thing. I actually really like the ending. I actually think the new age type of of feel this has goes very well with the FFA soundtrack. The various elements although individually might seem different work well together. I def think it ziwtra usual attention to detail and timing that pulls it through. Very calming yet upbeat at the same time. Haha the voices at 3:34 were a nice touch. Def a keeper.

This has a nice vibe, but it might a be a little far out for even me...I had a hard time even hearing a connection to the game at first, and I still can't identify any source material at all between 0:47 and 2:10. The partwriting for the accompaniment is also kind of weird and distracting at a few places.

But yeah, it's still pretty chill. Just not really for me, I guess.

And Reading Rainbow was awesome. :(

This took me several listens to completely grasp, since the structure seemed a bit strange to me, but there are plenty of immediate, smaller hooks that keep it interesting. The larger hooks begin to emerge after a few more listens, and I can start to get a feel for it as a whole, rather than several connected sections.
At first it seemed that the transitions aren't very strong, but once I had gotten a grasp of the mix as a single unit, their subtlety became less of a detriment. I still think that the fills could be a bit stronger between sections, but they are by no means weak transitions.
I think the best part of this mix is the evocative imagery that it (and most of Zwitra's work) brings up. I don't normally associate colors and music, but somehow when I listen to this, I get a really strong feeling of subtle blues and greens. Cool stuff, but it's kindof distracting, especially here at work. :P

Regardless of how crazy I am this morning, this is one you have to work for a little, but it really pays off.
Phenomenal work, and highly recommended.

This is one of the most liberal arrangements I've ever heard on this site. I didn't recognize the source in the first few minutes either, though it does seem like there are sketchy allusions to it. Agreed with CHz, trying to pick out the source isn't very fruitful; this mix seems better enjoyed as a mood/atmospheric piece. The last minute slapped a huge grin on my face. :D It does seem more "inspired by" than "remix of," though.
