While the sound quality is questionable, I really foind this to be a good submission. It's from the playstation game 'Dragon Seeds', which was a bit of a Monster Rancher ripoff, and although there's some background hiss, the syncopated piano bass and decent oboe and flute sounds are well done, and the whole thing sounds kind of like Yanni, in a good way. Hey man, people dis Yanni, but 'Dare to Dream' has some really kickass tracks. This comes from first time submitter Juverna, aka Candy Bullard, who obviously has some good ReMixing chops, if not the best keyboard in the world. The mixing and orchestration makes up for the hiss in a MAJOR way, so you REALLY should grab it - it's small, enjoyable, and shows a lot of promise!
Discussion: Latest 13 comments/reviews; view the Overall, this isn't holding my interest. It's pretty quiet, with
not much sticking out to grab my attention. Timing also feels off
in a few sections, although it's not by much. Not for me, in the
end.
Also, I'm being harsh because the mixer has made it ok in his post earlier. :P

... 'Tis an oldie, all right :)
Really, this game had some really GREAT tracks (this wasn't one of them, IMO, but still alright). People should be jumping in to mix more Dragon Seed!
Ok, enough ranting; needless to say, the instrument quality was TERRIBLE! Then again, welcome to OCR 1 - 500 :). The orchestration was a bit boring, even for the time. The interpretation of the original is interesting, as it was an upbeat piece originally, but it doesn't quite work for me. Meh, an interesting piece of history, for me, but that's about it, here.
LOL, I just read the comment from the reviewer himself.
I salute you, Juverna. You've got the right attitude on Reviews! I'll try to make a Dragon Seed Remix someday in your honor!
This forum is old, but entertaining, nonetheless :)

I've begged DJP to take my ReMix down several times, but for whatever reason, he hasn't. It really is very poor quality, and poorly arranged. Poor everything. Since the new message board's debut, nobody has left honest, negative feedback on how atrocious this thing really is, and I wondered where people's sense went. But here it finally is. A blunt, truthful, sensible piece of feedback.

I dunno...
I have mixed feelings about this one.
On one hand, its short and nothing really earthshaking.
Yet, on the other hand, it's calming, which is kind of difficult to differentiate between "mellow" and "relaxing", but for what it is, ultimately, I like it.

Though the synths are SNES era (especially that oboe, yikes!), and
the sequencing is off in a few parts, the source is pretty nice. I
havnt heard the original, so I can't compare it to the mix, but my
guess is that it'd be pretty similar.

Wow, I really like this. The poster above is correct about a little
funky synchopation, but I really like the instrumentation and the
general feel of it (and it isn't techno!!! ;)). Maybe if you could
fix up that little problem and maybe get a better sample of the
wind instruments, this could be an all time great!

DJP's comments about sounding like yanni are correct, given the
uplifting and celebratory nature of this mix. I'm very much looking
forward to the upcoming updated version of this mix. I found this
mix itself very enjoyable, even more impressive when considering
the age of this mix. ^_^

This needs it's work, it could one day sound very good, but it does not have even a fragment of the original power of the music from the game and is honestly a little painful for me to listen to. I own the game and am very familiar with it's music, so who knows maybe I'll attempt a remix from it and we'll see f I should shut my trap or if I know what I'm talking about. Chio and good luck.
You. Are. AWESOME!

And for that, Thorndraco, I thank you. :D
Do a Dragonseeds ReMix, man! I'd like to hear what you've got. And this thread seems to have become a ReQuest herd anyway. The peoples are callin' you! ;)

For the love of humanity, make more dragonseeds remixes. Ive been
looking for the battle theme, the battle theme from the 5th fight
in the arenas, and the first battle theme in the last arena. If you
were to make those, you would be my god.

A nice breather from all the electronica this site seems to collect

arragement of a game i've never played. Short and sweet.
