A VERY different ReMix from po, who's been out of action for awhile now but previously submitted a great Zelda hip-hop bit that I'm a big fan of. This is a track from the playstation RPG 'Wild Arms' done on a high quality electric piano . . . and nothing else. Yes, it's a great bit of lounge jazz, complete with ornamentation and nice deep chords that, in contrast to the many livelier ReMixes on the site, might indeed put you to sleep. That sounds like a diss, but it ain't, as it's really just a very peaceful track that's perfect for sippin' a martini to on yer balcony as the sun sets far off on the watery horizon. Or, if you live in the heart of suburbia, that'd be a bud, a patio, and the back of your neighbor's house . . . but you get the idea. Actually, as a HUGE, HUGE fan of the anime Cowboy Bebop, I should note that it resembles some of the OST for that show, which can ONLY be a good thing. Download it, relax, kick your shoes off, and forget that tomorrow's monday :)

The hiss is somewhat irritating, because the song is otherwise flawless, with some bells taking the melody line, and the beautiful epiano providing the backing chords.
I love listening mixes by po! because you never know quite what to expect, and they are almost always excellent. This one is no different, though you might want to try to clean out that high end hiss yourself.
Actually, I like the hiss. It reminds me of this ancient ep I played for fun a lot back in the day in my high school's music dept. I just kinda assumed the hiss was intentional, like it was played on an old or poorly grounded ep in some low budget lounge. So, I vote keep it cause it makes me feel fuzzy inside.

For me, lounge music is usually background music, but this certainly is an exception to the rule. Very accomplished, interesting throughout and has a real vibe of authenticity to it. I can really imagine this playing at a high-end latte bar, soy icecream parlour or fondu repair center. Final Fanatsy 9 cameo was a ridiculously awesome idea, too. Lastly, I love this for promoting radical diversity from electro/trance OCR mixes early in the game. Nice job.
