All of the good stuff that's already been said is well deserved. Mad guitar skills man but what really took everything is the drum work. Some of that stuff is truly inspired and it sounds like a lot of hard work went into the very fine details. The yell at 2:48 followed by the hard core power chords is absolutely my favorite part of the mix.
This one has been number one on my playlist since its later WIP stages.
What else to say. Congrats on creating a classic.

I have no idea how you do it analoq. Your stuff always sounds so simple and catchy **hums a little of dolilop do wop**. Again, this one isn't complicated with off-the-wall crazy effects or 1000 different samples and it still is amazingly cool. Love the opening piano...love it.

Do you mean belltrees? I might have a free one I could share. I would need to look for it first before I can tell for sure. But unfortunately most of them are indeed fast strokes. You would need to either pitch shift it or timewarp it to get the intended effect you're looking for.
Yeah, belltrees. Hopefully I wouldn't have to slow it down too much. I just rememebred where I heard a really great one on OCR and coincidentally its GrayLightning's Return of the Pheonix mix. Right at the beginning are some beautiful chimes. A free sample would be great but I'd be willing to pay for one if I could be pointed in a good direction.

Do you mean free or do you have a budget. Most good piano samples are around $200. There's several very good piano soundfonts out there for free.

I recommend the Clavinova v1 or 2. With proper playing, processing and mastering it can sound amazing. That's if you want a softer more intimate sound.
If you want a sharper, jazzier/pop sound http://www.naturalstudio.co.uk/ns_piano.html this one's pretty good also.
These are significant upgrades to what you used on your submission, so...Have fun.
Thanks also GrayLightning. These will definitely come in handy.
Also, I'm looking for a nice slow bar chimes sound. Not like a single chromatic bell but the kind that percussionists have with their drum kits that sound like wind chimes. The slower the better. I've found some samples but they are really poor quality and I want this sample to be able to stand essentially on its own in the song. Thanks!

Sweet intro and man those drum samples are perfect! That reverbed-out break at 1:07 was really inspired but I didn't have time to think about how cool it was before 1:15 kicked everything into high gear. I liked the length as well...always leave the audience wanting more. This mix is a really fun ride. Great work.

The tone of that piano is really wonderful. I'm listening to it now and it's the beautifully soulful heart of amazing orchestral work. Bravo Blad and Gray.

What is it about that beat that keeps me coming back to this mix time and time again? Its been at the top of my rotation since it was posted. Great work Marc.

The percussion sounds like Timpani drums and cymbals. Orchestral is not exactly my forte so I can't be too specific but there are some decent timpanis in the Squidfont Orchestral soundfont on Darkesword's soundfont site. Those drums are common enough that you can probably find some good free ones in the percussive or drumkit section of Hammersound also.
