Erm, now I'm not an expert on trance by a long shot, but this doesn't at all strike me as derivative and generic trance... it's much too upbeat, and it has interesting arranging and musicianship, something trance generally lacks. Plus the 1337 sitar and percussion elements. <3 <3 <3

Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic. This gave me the warm fuzzy feeling that I got when I initially discovered the VG arrangement scene, but soon lost a bit after I got good and jaded. This is my first experience with your work, chthonic, but you can get your ass that'll change.

Congrats Darangen... I'm surprised that Magus' theme isn't a more popular remix item, actually.

mv is so awesome it's not even funny. This song is absolutely beautiul, 10/10 easily.

Wow, I just discovered this remix today... holy hell! And I found it by accident, too. I was browsing the forums and in some topic someone listed the good orchestral remixers on this site, and Jeremy Soule's name was one of them. Jeremy Soule? The dude who did the excellent epic soundtracks to Neverwinter Nights and Knights of the Old Republic? And apparently Icewind Dale, too, though I didn't know that until today. But now, come to think of it, the Icewind Dale soundtrack is totally Jeremy Soule's style. Guess I didn't connect the dots. It really says something when a bigshot pro like Soule takes the time to do a remix for a site like OCR. Professionals (in any field) are often are quite condescending towards hobbyists in the same field, yet this is clearly not the case with Mr. Soule. Still, I had to listen to the song to see whether or not it was some kind of joke. Man, this is no joke. From the very start, it obvious this came from Soule. It has the pristine, epic sound of his NwN and KotOr soundtracks. The arrangement is deft, fluid, subtle, and belies Soule's status as a professional composer. Absolutely brilliant piece of epic orchestral music. The samples are exremely realistic, but then again, it's Jeremy Soule... he can get any orchestral library he wants. My only complaint is that it's too short. But man, that's a pretty nitpicky complaint for such a magnificent piece. I'd like to salute Mr. Soule for his interest in the video game remixing community. Not to mention this fantastic tune.
