Did someone say . . . McVaffe? Hells Yeah. McV's latest opus is none other than Secret of Mana, fear of the heavens, but it sounds like it mixes a little from other tracks perhaps. While the classic delayed piano, flute, and background arpeggio guitar thangs are all phat as usual, McV really spent some time with da drum track - it's loop based, but there are some awesome fill effects and transforms that absolutely MAKE this mix. Love the bassline too, fits right in with the style. Nothing much else to say - you'll love it, download it, it's great.
Discussion: Latest 15 comments/reviews; view the I don't think I could ever run out of great things to say about
McVaffe's work--unfortunately, that also means I start to sound
repetitive after a while.
Suffice to say, this is another great piece and another job well done.

I think the early piano delay is a bit too strong, but once the
song starts it's pure quality. The beats are excellent, and though
the instrumentation doesn't stray too far from the original, the
samples are all excellent, especially the flute.
The ending I didn't really like, as it is a *very* abrupt fadeout, but up until that point, it's very nice stuff.

This mix is amazing. One of the very first that i got from OCR.
Right after i heard it i went to go hear the orginal just to
compare, and after the comparison it think that yours might be
better than the origenal. Great work!

I've never played the game or heard the original one, but trust me:
This is one of the most memorable remixes from OCR (despite the
fact I just recently joined, I've been around here for years). So
nostalgic!
For some reason, this reminds me about Super Mario 64 and the volcano-level. I dunno why. :D It's just the image I always get in mind while listening to this.
Very good remix overall: not too repeative, hi-quality sound and one of the best beginnings I've heard.

The instruments he used were the istruments or close to the
instruments used in the game.

Interesting piece indeed, McVaffe apparently wanted to cover two
music styles with this one, but I dunno what those styles are. He
fused together classical instruments like piano and flute together
with the electronic instruments we have today. The drumbeat has a
very fast pace, but with more soothing instruments it becomes a
different experience. I'm not sure what to call it, but I'm digging
it. However, the ending could've been finished off a little more
carefully, since it fades out pretty fast.
And seriously, what's a Flava? My dictionary bursted out in flames when I tried to look it up.

Whoa, I can't believe such a good mix has so few comments. This one
is just awesome. And that drum track; amazing! If anything, the end
wasn't the best. But damn, the rest was downright sexy! Nice.

This is one of my favorite mixes on the whole site, whch should be
of no surprise to you seeing as it comes from McVaffe. I love the
opening of the origional title theme in the beginning and then
gradually putting a nice beat along with it. It just enhanses the
track and turns it into an experience. The only way you could not
dig this track is if you eat babies.. And you don't do that... Do
you? :wink:

Wow, can't believe I haven't already posted a comment here but this
is the remix that first brought me to OCR. I'm hella biased because
SoM is my favorite game EVER but this mix really is great. That
percussion is something that I aspire to and the songs that were
combined to make this mix flow effortlessly together. Whenever I'm
feeling uninspired I look to the Flava first and I haven't been let
down yet. Thanks McVaffe.

With in the first 10 seconds you can already tell that this remix
is going to be awesome. The piano is just amazing and then the
drums come in and just increase the whole song and make it a
million times better. But the best part is at 2:26 when the intro
piano is played with the drums over them. I love this mix.

This kicks so much ass. If you like Secret of Mana, this track will
put a big smile on your face, guaranteed.

GOD this is an amazing mix!! It captures the essence of Secret of
Mana's battle theme. The background drums are simply ASTOUNDING. It
makes me want to play the game, which is always a good sign. This
and Tidal Sequence are right up there as my two favorite SoM
remixes. Hooray McV!

I can't believe there are so few reviews here. This is a SoM fan's
dream come true. What an excellent, competent, charming remix. The
drums are just awesome; I love it when they trail off to the left
speaker in the middle during the breakdown. GREAT bassline there
near the end (even though parts of it for some reason sound about a
half step off). Just a great tune.

Excellent atmosphere and feel to it; the drumwork is perfectly
executed. If I had a complaint, it would be the sudden
ending.
Shout out to Mr. Honda.
