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.
Discussion: Latest 14 comments/reviews; view the What immediately jumps at me from the beginning of the song is that
the volume is really low overall.
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.

I honestly wouldn't have thought that this track was as early as it
was. A lot of it holds well even today. Drums are the obvious focal
here, and they get the job done well. I'm going to agree with OA
that if the rest of the track were brought up to match things would
rock just a tad more.
Interesting tidbit that Belthasar is the first track mixed for CT, and not Corridors of Time. Nice work.

standards, i would have this on my iPod (or similar) right
away
i already had this mix on my hdd back in 2002 and it's been played alot..
too bad the remixes of today has made my a little too picky because this is really nice :/

The drums are really the main standout here, as they demand
attention, and the rest of the mix is alright with complying.
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.

As for a first remix on a game, it doesn´t necessarily have to be
great, because you can´t download an another one, because this is
the only one, and you have to download it anyway. But luckily,
Zeratul actually made a great remix so that we don´t need to do
that. How nice of you, thanks. :D

ooh i really dig the ending.. bravo! but i would have seriously
thought about removing/replacing the cymbals in the beginning of
each drum segment.

Positively resplendent.
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.

God I Love Chrono remixes. be they Cross or Trigger, They're all
great. And this original mix of the [i]Sealed Door[/i] is great.
most other mixes I've heard of this song, such as Trptcox's, try to
emphisise the ambient nature of the song, Zeratul takes it in a new
exciting direction as he has so often done.

It's in the piano part. Remember that this isn't another Zeal
mix...it's actually an arrangement of "Sealed Door." And a pretty
darn good one at that. Good stuff from Zeratul, as usual.

This was one of the first mixes I downloaded, and has been a
favorite ever since. The beat is great, and it brings back lots of
great memories of playing CT back in the day...

Awesome buildup beggining, followed by completely irrelevent beats
that work up to a small, slight melody ... and still make it sound
good! This is completely Mixed and ReMixed, giving it an odd appeal
although it's relevence to the game is masked. Take It.

Chrono Trigger 'Belthasar'
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.
