If I heard this in a club I know it'd remind me of Super Metroid. But I hope ocremix doesn't get any more liberal than this. A load of the songs on VGMIX don't seem to even have the original tune in them. A nice song, overall.
I love this track, you wouldn't believe how many times I've played it. The style's great. It just doesn't get old. I especially like the spiralling-down bit at 1:24 (that returns later on in the song)
Nice mix. I swear I hear 'white power, white, white power, white, white power, white, white power' about 1.4 minutes in, said over and over again. Suspicous.
1. It seems more enthusiastic, which fits Ken and the song better, in my opinion. 2 kinda loses it's pace about 3/4s the way through whereas with 1 it's kept up throughout.
I think you're taking this a little too seriously. It's more like the song Ken would listen to before he goes into a street fight, of self-empowerment. If you want it to inspire you somehow just take Ken as a generic name. Realize you're mecca!
Whatever the original is this is a great song. I don't see the point of the static at the start, it gets a little repetitive and the ending is abrupt. But you mix from one genre to the other really well (actually i'd say trance and classic are pretty similar genres but never mind) and it's all done expertly.
BTW, for anyone without CD ripping abilities who already owns the Crono Trigger OST and wishes for a backup of one of the tracks from that CD (such as say, The Day the World Revived) they can get them here.
They don't sound all that similar though.
I agree. There's very much a beauty in simplicity here, and it's wonderful to see the composer avoiding all the temptations of adding complications that would've destroyed the essence of the piece.
I've been becoming slowly suspicious lately that the stuff I hear at OCRemix is actually significantly better quality than anything else you can hear in the charts, or in fact just about anywhere these days. This track confirms my suspicion. All I can say is we have a very odd distribution of talent and success in today's world, musically speaking.
