Starting off as he often does with a beautiful solo pattern, then bringing elements in gradually until he builds a dense + quintessentially 'complete' bed of sound, Peeples' takes a track from the relatively recent Chrono Cross and makes a haunting, epic ReMix that would be really great driving music very early in the morning, at the beginning of a long trip. Or something like that. The very nice acoustic sounds that Peeples has access to, as well as his own skill in bringing the pieces together like few else can, make this another memorable mix. A clean, pure breathy wood/flute type instrument covers a melody at one point, and you want it to keep going, but it goes away. Yet this sort of restraint is what keeps Scott's mixes at the top of the game. Also sweet is the solo over top just the drums at about 2'30" . . . sweeping, impeccable, and very strong.

wonderful way to ease off the stress of a busy week. Awesome job.

i first heard this mix back in 03 and I am still listening to it
now, the guitar is spot on, a very nice way to start out a track,
the flute is incredible sounds so real(is it real?), the
arrangement is hardcore. my only problem with this track is the
drums could use a little more power.
great production (aside from the drums)
good arrangement
very nostalgic =]
9.5 out of 10
great stuff man

this does not sound very inspired to me, rather much too long
instead. While the overall instrumental sound is right except for
parts of the percussion that are quite sharp, the piece lacks in
substance and variation since it reapeats much too short elements
much too often.

Every time I hear this song, I want to go out and watch the sun
set. Then I realize I live in Oregon and haven't seen the sun for 4
months. So I watch the drizzle for a while, and still feel very
fufilled. I really love that about this song, it's very versatile.

This is one of my favorite games in the world. I love the music
blending in harmony together.

I really apologize for bumping something so old (yet, so
fantastic). This remix is off the uncontested best song in Chrono
Cross, and while there's several aspects I dislike about the game,
it captures a sense of exploration and hope that a lot of Chrono
Cross had. It's just beautiful to listen too. Not overly dramatic,
not too slow, not too fast. And this song is repetitive, but that
doesn't bother me, in fact it strengthens the song to hear such
great parts again. It all flows well.

hey, Scott Peeples, I sent this one to a friend who works for a
physical therapy practice that uses music and she said that you
could make a living making relaxation music--beautiful piece man.

The vocals in the new remix just creeped me out actually when I
first heard them. The song itself became less sorrowful and more
creepy in general, especially at the end. I'm not actually even
sure what the vocals are saying. It sounds like "Got inspiration?",
like a 'Got Milk?' commercial... or "God inspiration", which
doesn't even make sense to me. I would've been satisfied with the
song without them.
I love the original, I used to listen to it all the time. Unfortunately, the problem I had with the original is that once when I was listening I turned my speakers up with my mom in the house thinking she might like to hear it, and I suddenly became very aware of the overly loud 'clap' between the measures that starts up at 1:53 until 3:20, right in the middle of the song. It starts great, it builds up, and suddenly it just pounds in your ears 'crack!', over and over, until it cools down toward the end.
It'll probably still always be one of my favorite songs though, just wish that particular beat wasn't as forceful in the middle. ;)

in the re-remix the low string instrument ( chello, stand up bass,
whatever ) has got it right, and it does a lot to help, but the
guitar is still true to your original.
I just think it would sound better with the third is all. its dischordant because the 3rd and the 7th are a melodic 4th apart. thats the annoying interval that ambulances sirens sound off on.
So while every other note in the song is playing to harmonize a 3rd root chord, you change the root to the 7th. its hard to tell because the octaves are different, but its like having an ambulance in the middle of your song.

Thanks for the link, Scott. The way you've reworked it is quite interesting, right down to the vocal clips.
Also, I don't know why I haven't commented on this track yet. Shocking, considering it [i]IS [/i]the track that single-handedly led me to OCR. Back in 2001, when I was downloading (legally) the Chrono Cross soundtrack from Kazaa, I stumbled upon a retagged version of this track that listed the artist as Scott Peeples and gave no other information. I loved the emotion and beauty of the song, listening to it all the time. Only later in 2002, during an internet search, I found out that the song was from Overclocked Remix, and thus I found this site for the first time.
So, thanks man, for this remix. It means a lot to me.

I agree it is a beautiful mix, but there is one glaring error that
drove me mad and led me to deleting the song from my computer. In
the guitar chord progression, the third arpeggio's bottom note is
completly wrong and sounds horrible. The proper progression is
Root, down to the 6th, up to the 3rd, and then down to the 7th.
this remixer omits the 3rd and instead, hits the 7th for two
measures, which obviously clashes with the rest of the notes which
he has put in flawlesly. I highly doubt this was intentional, as,
to me, it sounds really bad.
I'm stunned that no one has pointed this out before me. Does anyone on this forum actualy listen to the originals?
dont get me wrong, I love the song, and think it would be outstanding if that one small error were corrected. I suggest a re-remix.

Heard this one on the audio stream, now I'll have to download it. A
definite keeper.

Good News :D
An "A" Class remix...
Bad News :cry:
The instruments "mixing volume" is not so good. The beating is too loud. I guess you can take the piano and the flute little more to the fore, by taking down the beating volume. That´s all.

This mix is absolutely amazing! Im sure you all know that though,
since this is page 4 of the reviews, and nary a bad thing has been
said about this masterpiece. Honestly, I've had this mix for a few
years, and I just thought I would come on here and let everyone
else know just how good it is...I mean, if they didnt already know,
and its pretty apparent that they do.
Come back Scott...please come back...
