    This remix definitely encapsulates the feeling of flight well.  The reverb of the snares gets sent into the stratosphere in a wonderous drift.  The synthwave aesthetic just fits so well with any sort of traveling theme!  This remix was rock solid.  Excellent job!

    I enjoy those SMW-esque synths coming in around 30 seconds.  I may not have ever played of or even heard of Quarth, but this remix somehow has an incredibly nostalgic feeling to it, as if somewhere in the far back, my brain is thinking: "You've totally played Quarth before, you've ALWAYS known about Quarth and here are some chips and musical dip to remind you."  This is not some low quality dollar store potato product, this is some high quality chip!  Also, that ending was great. 😎

    This was a very ambitious remix!  Some of the ideas being presented are really cool.  I enjoy the symphonic metal aesthetic! I enjoyed this remix, great job everyone who worked on it!

    This was a delight.  It's clear a lot of fun and heart went into this, and the energy carries through the remix.  Excellent job! :)

    Everything happening from 1:50 to 2:00 was absolutely phenomenal.  This remix was definitely an absolute jam.  Very well produced, it hits hard and rocks!

    The section around 1:50 was my favorite, so powerful and evocative!  This was a really good piano remix.  I may not be familiar with the source, but I know good music when I hear it!  Excellent job on this! :)

    I really enjoyed those opening drums.  In fact, I enjoyed the percussion overall in this remix quite a lot!  This remix packs of a lot of raw, ragged, chiptune power in it.  Excellent stuff!

    The intro had my eyebrow raised right off the bat.  This remix was super wild.  I spent most of the runtime not quite sure how I felt about it.  It really is a unique beast of a remix.  I will give full props to the creativity and to the instrumentation choices.  Great job on this!

    I enjoyed the panning in this remix, the back and forth with those muted plucks were so cool.  I really enjoyed the somber mellowness of this.  Definitely a unique style compared to most of what I see on OCR.  Great job on this!

    That bass is heckin CHONKY and delicious.  That little transition from the vocoded words to the intro groove in the beginning was super cool.  The duet sections in this remix sounded really good and were the highlight of the remix for me.  Excellent remix! :)

    Any song that mixes Mako Reactor with Terra's theme is a win in my book.  This was the perfect remix to start my morning off with.  This was a very lovely piano remix, well done!

    Holy moly this was quite the epic remix.  I don't think I could properly give the proper amount of props that this deserves!  The shift around the 2 minute mark was incredibly cool, I loved that minute or so of music.  That slow section starting around 6 minutes in was also incredibly cool.  Around 8:30 sounded like a spaghetti western duel of some kind and I am here for it.  And then that voice comes in and slams dunk the ending!  This was an absolute BEAST of an arrangement, full props to everyone involved, especially Jorito. I can't imagine the amount of effort it took to pull all of this together AND make it sound good!  Absolutely phenomenal stuff!!

    The spirit of adventure breaths in this remix and made me want to journey out into some grand tale!  I will settle for the journey that my desk takes to turn from a regular desk to a standing desk.  This was a great remix.  The energy and pacing was exquisitely well done, and the production was definitely fantastic for the genre.  2 thumbs up!

    That pulsating rhythm that travels through most of the remix had a very nice groove to it.  I hear that Glitch vst comin in hot at some parts!  I can't stop staring at the music visualizer for this, those dancing robots are mesmerizing.  This was a great remix, lots of fun! :)

    Thank you so much for your comment, CJ! :) Unfortunately, not long after your listening to it I went back and listened myself, and it's come to my attention that this version is not the one originally attached to the e-mail submission for ESD. I had actually went back and redid the vocal mixing and production on all the other elements across the board, in the spirit of making it be beyond its album incarnation and more for the OCR front page.
    ...I hope at some point, some day, that updated, re-tuned version will come to light on OCR, but for the moment I'm glad you really enjoyed the album version of ESD. ^_^; If it does, I hope you revisit this tune as well. ♡

    There can never be enough spaghetti western on this site.  This was definitely a banger for that genre.  This felt straight out of a movie or Red Dead Redemption.  The operatic voices, the instrumentation, all of it was done fantastically.  Excellent remix.  Congrats and kudos to everyone who worked on it!

    This reminds me of the Game of Thrones soundtrack, and that's a big compliment!  This was delightfully intense in some areas, very good use of the tremolo strings.  I loved the meanering strings that played with the chords and key starting around 1:34.  Great job on this!

    Take is eaaaaasy.  The percussion is a stand-out to me, very light and airy with just the right amount of crisp.  This was an absolute delight, and really revels in the element of chill.  I certainly felt compelled to take it easy after listening to this. 😎

    This piece of music was super cool. 😎  I am not familiar with the source or the lore of the characters, but I enjoyed the snazzy style and the fun put into the voicework.  The instrumental portions of this remix were standouts of funky coolness. 😎
