Nice composition and a very tight sound from first-time contributor Po, who uses a Yamaha CS1x synth for mixing - a nice piece of gear, and one I actually wish I had :) This upbeat take on the Costa del Sol music from the immortal FF7 is both jazzy, funky, and "technoey", without sounding confused. Check out the awesome bassline that reminds me of some better James Brown tunes, and the overall attention to sonic balance - the bass and kick both have a great impact on the ear, and the whole thing is just . . GOOD! Po has at least one other ReMix on the way . . . keep your ears pealed!

New and shiny piano comping added to the original melody, with some funky bass to back it up, I really like the style employed here, and almost wish it had been married to a stronger melody than the overly laid-back coasta del sol theme. I'd have preferred a bit more expansion, but there is enough interesting material here for it to be a very fresh take on the theme.
Regardless, this is a very fun and classy sendup of the track, and it has aged extremely well. Not quite a legendary track that tops the charts, but definitely a classic.

It's a party, alright. Yup, grab a stereo, towel, shades, sunscreen and head down to the beach. Kick back, enjoy the rays, play in the waves. An awesome one! Keep it up!

Give me a P!

Give me an O!
O!
What do we got?
PO!
Well, that was fun. This was this remix for that matter too. Very good piano, gave the right feel to it. The bells that came after reminded from Zelda I think, and they fitted very good. As a result, a nice track that you can groove to at the beach. Thanks po!
What is it time for?
PARTY!!!

Love the electric piano and funky bass! I was bobbing my head at school through the whole track, it was very chill and the likes! Nice work indeed.

Great stuff, po!
You know, the song's a little too repetitive but, it's got everything to satisfy me, good beat, nice piano, and great leads. Love the E Piano on this one.
If Aeris used this track to seduce Cloud, there will be action afterwards! Cloud's jaw will be on the floor with his toungue just nailed there by gravity. Tifa, you loose! :lol:
Again good job!

Hey-I use a cs1x too! Neato. Nice job on this mix. Nice and chill, groovy, catchy. I enjoyed it.

this is called house. jeez..
This is yer early 90's late 80's house. Specifically this reminds me of
Ce Ce Peniston's hits like "Finally".
GOOD STUFF, PO! ++++++ FEELIN IT :)

I must say, the song is simplistic and repetitive. Therein lies it's insane charm. There's just enough to keep it lively, and it's not like it's grating repetition. Addictive and poppy, not repulsive and poopy. Odd praise for [i]el po[/i], but praise nonetheless. One of my first favorites from this site...

Final Fantasy 7 'Costa del Sol DANCE'
A wonderful latin salsa mamba whatever dance track. The piano has a
little swingy up beat feel, and minimal vibes give this a nice open loungy
feel. Feels like it would fit in just fine at a club or bar in Costa Del Sol.
