The only problem my computer has with it is my soundcard doesn't play nice. So I'm stuck with, ahem, no sound. *sniff*
Spex:
AMDX2 Athlon 6000+ (dual core, 3.0 ghz per core)
ASUS motherboard (not sure exactly which one it is, but its the non-SLI version of the nVidia 500 series chipset)
ATi Radeon X700 Pro (256 MB) yeah I know...ATi...I'm saving up for something better.
M-Audio Delta 1010LT soundcard
2 gigs of Corsair XMS2 RAM
Various other stuff as well.
Seems to run just fine, sans sound.

I just downloaded the demo (here) and played around with it a bit, and now I'm totally hooked. I'm pretty sure I'll buy it once I get a little extra cash. Anyone else have it, or played the demo? Thoughts? I might add this is my first time playing any Unreal Tournament game though...

Just a quick passing listen here, but I really enjoyed the light and uplifting feel you gave it. Didn't look for the original but I think the vocals work very nicely with the synths'n'such you chose. It's always great to hear a new Zircon track and this one didn't disappoint. Thanks very much for sharing!

I measure my working time in total hours. Usually my projects (remixes and original) take at least 40 hours, but sometimes a lot more. This is usually spread out over the course of 3-12 days in general, but some mixes have taken me a couple weeks to finish. This with at LEAST 80 hours or so of working on it.

Having (unfortunately) never heard the original, I can't comment on its relevance to the original or whatever, but here goes:
When I mentally dissect this song, I find that bLiNd has interwoven several melodies together, besides the main one, to create a stellar atmospheric trance number. The synth sounds are very well chosen and give this piece a very euphoric feel. Nothing is out of place--each sound that comes in only strengthens the song. Nothing gets old and nothing clashes--a great feat to accomplish in an electronic song. Key changes are simple, but well executed (are those in the original too?). The supporting arpeggios perfectly complement the main melody, and the sounds chosen are the exact right ones.
Overall this is my absolute favorite song on the FFVII album, with good reason. The style just plain WORKS with the melody and tune, and even more so by the fact that it's so well executed.
Sorry for the somewhat disorganized post, but those are my thoughts for ya.

Hi everyone, I've only just recently joined the forum here. Thought I'd post a link to my newest track so as to give a sample of what I sound like (I haven't done any videogame remixes at all, sorry). This is my entry into the Wideband Network remix contest at ACIDplanet.com. Hope you like it, and feel free to give criticism or whatever you feel like giving.
Made in FL Studio 7 Producer Edition, with VSTi-s including Toxic III, Firebird+, Rez 2.0, AMB Bass Rack CM, MiniMogueVA, and Adonis.

Hey all, I go under the name of Flexstyle and I'm an avid gamer (although my scope is currently extremely limited), and a house/dnb/trance producer of about 2 years. Other musical experience includes about 4 years of violin (quit a few years ago though) and about 3 or so years of piano. I'm also a trained sound man for my church, and have been for several years.
If you feel like checking mah stuff out, you can do so at www.acidplanet.com/flexstyle.
My primary game is currently the open-source shooter Tremulous. Usually I'm on the Dretch*Storm server under the names "his nose," "|TSR|TheLittleGreenMen," and "[DRU]Vortexx." Yeah, you needed to know that.
I probably won't be super-active on the OCR forums as I'm a regular member on several other forums too, but I thought I'd at least sign up. You'll probably see me around a little bit at least.
Let's see here...I've recently downloaded every single stinkin' torrent the site has to offer (all the remix albums, plus the "all the remixes from the site"), and of course I love a lot of the music I've heard here. Most notably stuff from zircon, bLiNd, Leifo, FFMusicDJ, and some others.
I'm also trying to learn a bit of graphic design...hmm, what else is there to say? Oh yeah, I'm 16 and I live near Phoenix Arizona.
So HI!

I can now say that I've uploaded my first game remix ever.
It's really not that good, I only spent a couple hours on it--but hey, I wanted to contribute SOMETHING to this community at least!
