I appreciate it.

Yeah I've noticed, I've heard one too many hip-hop or techno remakes of a good song being called "awesome" while the less "creative" ones aren't. Guess I'm really just looking for another remix site then.

You definetly have the feel down and faithful to the original but there are some things you can improve on. 1) Phrasing. Aside from the first phrase/verse/movement (or whatever you'd like to call it, I'll go with phrase) of the original song you don't bring the others into play until about 3/4 into the song, they need to be fleshed out more so you can at least do all of the phrases twice. Ideally I'd say use the main phrase a few times, then all of the phrases 2-3 times, and then end on the main phrase. 2) Variety. I definetly agree you just need more in the song, it's certainly clear you have an orchestral feel. The inclusions of a male chorus (as mentioned, like the original), stronger strings, woodwinds (ocarina-ish if possible), and stronger horns would be excellent and help to round it off with a solid dramatic feel. Heck, throw in a cymbal or two for dramatic effect. I do like the rolling drums on occasion which also serve as a good transition. 3) Progression. After you fix the phrasing you should bring in more instruments and more volume throughout the song, perhaps starting with the female chorus (main phrase a couple of times), then male chorus (all phrases 1st time), then strings and woodwinds (all phrases 2nd time), then horns (all phrases 3rd time), and ending with a grand finale (main phrase). Well that's how I'd do it. If you were to take these points into account I think you'll have a real work of art. And I like your latin title, Time Eternal, nice.

I like straight mixes. When I say straight mixes I mean updated arrangements of songs that enhance their original feel, faithful remixes that don't try to drastically change the style or tone of a song, or just remixes with a solid melody that don't try to stray too far from it. For example, Track 01 entitled "Hangarmageddon" on the Doom Remix Project (http://doom.ocremix.org/media.html) is what I'd consider a perfect straight remix of the music in the first level of Doom. What I'd like to see are some good straight mixes of Mega Man themes/intro-stage tracks that this site is severely lacking in. And there's so many good ones to choose from, here are some of my favorites. Mega Man Theme from 7 Intro Stage - Track 4 - Mega Man 7 OST http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/megaman-7-original-soundtrack Zero's Theme from X Zero - Disc 1 - Track 7 - Rockman X1~6 Album http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Capcom_Music_Generation_-_Rockman_X1%7E6_%28album%29 Mega Man's Theme from X4 Opening Stage X - Disc 3 - Track 4 - Rockman X1~6 Album http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Capcom_Music_Generation_-_Rockman_X1%7E6_%28album%29 Zero's Theme from X4 Opening Stage Zero - Disc 3 - Track 5 - Rockman X1~6 Album http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Capcom_Music_Generation_-_Rockman_X1%7E6_%28album%29 Zero's Theme from X5 Opening Stage Zero - Track 4 - Megaman X5 OST http://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/megaman-x5 Zero's Theme from X6 Zero - Disc 5 - Track 24 - Rockman X1~6 Album http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Capcom_Music_Generation_-_Rockman_X1%7E6_%28album%29 Opening Music from Zero 2 Departure - Disc 1 - Track 28 - Rockman Zero 1~3 Album http://blue-bomber.jvmwriter.org/index.php?title=Rockman_Zero_Complete_Game-Music_Collection_Rockman_Zero_1%7E3_%28album%29 Honestly for most of these songs I'd just love to see the main melody done with electric guitar and whatever else you feel is necessary. The links to blue-bomber are sometimes unresponsive but after a few tries they should work, if necessary I can upload the files somewhere myself.
