Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Houseki

Part of the great Radical Dreamers 'Far Promise' ReMix flood of April 21st, 2001. AmIEvil ventures into new territory with his hip-hop 'down with da street' version of - you guessed it - 'Far Promise' from Radical Dreamers. It's great that a game that American and European audiences basically missed out on can get so much coverage! AmIEvil kicks it with a deep + flatulent synth bass, a stop-wait style drum line kinda similar to some of what Bustah Rhymes has done, and piano of course. But the icing on the cake is the synth lead and brass hits (good stuff) that wrap things up. A very worthy and decidedly unique contribution to the flood, and again an interesting departure for a talented ReMixer, indicating flexibility and willingness to experiment . . . which are good things, by the way :)

Bahamut posts a positive review!?
Madness!

Samples are a killer in this mix - there's also room to make things more interesting too. Otherwise, this is a nice start to a great take on the original though!

wondering where this mix was going to go for the first minute or so, but it develops into something all unto its own. a lot of mixes from the chrono series are a little straightforward, but this one takes things into a new direction. good work!

I never know where AmIEvil is going to go next. With styles ranging from the haunting FFVI remix Death on the Snowfield, to an acid mix from Zelda 3, the random remixer does everything. This song begins with a beat that reminds me of somewhere in the slums of FFVII and leads into a well balanced mix. The sudden slowdowns are not my favorite effect but they add to the mix nicely. At 1:20 the mix picks up, but the track ends soon after. The mix needs to be a little longer. AmIEvil should have explored the latter part of the mix a little more. Altogether a great job and a good remix.

The opening had me worried. Once it starts to add more instruments and melody, it improves, but overall I can't say I'm a fan. More development would have made a big difference for me. It's short, and overall just feels too empty.

- DragonAvenger on September 14, 2008
It's a pretty interesting take on the original theme. But, something about the mix sounds a bit empty, like it's lacking real substance. I think it might have to do with how the main melody seems overshadowed by the percussion and bass around it, so it comes across as an ambient track without a melody. It's an ok mix, however; but I think AmIEviL's other mixes show a lot more strength. KF

Like many others said, this is a cool interpretation, but it's waaaaaaaaaay too short. There's not really time for any development here whatsoever. It would be very cool to hear AmIEvil perhaps do an extended version of this or something of that nature. It's short, but I like what's there.

The mix starts out kindof weak, and just when i was starting to get into it, it just fades out.
I'm not a huge fan, sorry.

A little minimalistic, but near the end this comes to life. Agreed with DragonFireKai, I've definitely heard *much* better stuff from the talented AmIEvil.

- DarkCecil13 on December 25, 2006
this isn't the best Remix by AmIEvil, nor is it the best Far Promise Remix. Good, but not great.

- DragonFireKai on August 24, 2004
This is a fairly original take on the FarPromise song - it's not very fast, but it has some cool instruments and doesn't get boring, though it's not a song you can loop on and on for hours.. This mix, like several of AmIEvil's (see his Shadowgate 'Dancefloor' remix), is very solid all the way through, but doesn't change much and is just "pretty good", not "great". It IS however, as I've said, one of the more original styles of FarPromise mixes.

Radical Dreamers 'Hip Dreamer'
Hip hop. *sigh* I don't like hip hop. This mix is overall pretty darned cool, even for a style that I don't like. Don't care for the sample used in the melody around the middle. After that it's also pretty good, nothing I'm ecstatic about though.
Check it out, along with the rest of the Far Promise flood of Apr 21st. Collect the whole set!
