This is our first Chrono Trigger ReMix, and it is MONEY baby . . ya hafta download it, ya just hafta . . I love the breakbeat ReMixer Zeratul used, and the whole thing just screams quality! I know the world is filled with absolutely rabid fans of this game, so this one should be pretty popular, and it TOTALLY deserves it. I know I'm always pretty nice with my comments, but that's because I think these mixes really are great . . and this one especially . . download or die.
The drums clearly drive this song with how much louder it is than everything else, as well as it dictating things. There isn't a whole lot variation here though, and the source is mostly layered over without much change.
Definitely was never a fan of this one.

Interesting tidbit that Belthasar is the first track mixed for CT, and not Corridors of Time. Nice work.

Though I do like the direction the mix goes in, it just seems like the melodic aspect of the song is held back by the domination of the beat.
Rather than tone the beat back though, i think the melody should be pumped up to match.

Zeratul has taken the somber theme of Belthasar and transformed it into an upbeat, thought-provoking piece.
This is definitely an OC mix to add to your collection.

The first Chrono Trigger mix on the site comes off pretty well I think. The beat is the star of the song. Piano comes in with a soft melody as the beat continues to play around. Some filters are used to warp the sound a bit in the second half. Not the end-all/be-all Chrono Trigger mix, but it's certainly not crap.
