    Yup, totally. The quasi-mood reversal (it met half-way) was a nice twist. Just put this in my top-tier list. Nice work!

    This is completely upside down! Gah! / HAHAHA! >.< / : D

    I love this remix. It fuses such disparate elements and does them all really well. I just get it running through my head at random times, and it takes a LOT of repetitions to become unwelcome.

    How fortunate! I just happened to drop by to listen to Holy Mother (2353) when away from my regular computer, and I saw this in the sidebar and said 'hey, Metroid 1!' and then it was a remix of Ridley's lair, which has been sorely neglected, and I caught it only 9 days after release! Anyway, this is properly creepy. I like all of the effects except for the momentary volume fadeout around 0:50. The disintegration fits with the long-term theme of Ridley as described in the intro. I was somewhat surprised that only the parallel-whole-tone sequences remained through the bulk, with the melody

    Did you flip over to playing the FF2 overland theme at 1:14? It's closely related...

    No - not entirely. There tune is different, but the harmony line is practically identical to the theme from Ninja Gaiden used in the Basilisk Run remix. So much so that when this came up and I looked at the title, I did a double-take. "This... isn't Ninja Gaiden, with the harmony line put on top?" said my internal voice. The voicing here really brings out the similarities, too. Anyway, I like it even on those terms - as a Ninja Gaiden remix, even though it isn't one.

    This tune is so similar, this track would also count as a remix of Contact, from the Phish album Junta (if anyone were keeping track of that). The rhythm, the line? Right out of it. The tires are the things on the car that make contact with the road...

    I never liked Setzer as a character until this track. Then, I couldn't dislike him.

    I must have a LoZ-Dungeon-shaped hole in my heart since the loop never gets old for me. But I can really see why it might drag for others...

    To be precise, the source is the Goliard poetry from 800 years ago or so. But Orff does 'own' this, by which I mean he did a pretty definitive treatment and if you're going to use it otherwise you have a steep hill to climb. The lyrics don't even seem to fit. Especially at 5:00 the guy's basically saying "The girls are making fun of me!" but the music is trying to make it epic... utter mismatch between music and words. This ain't 'Circa mea pectora'. Also, it's mihi, not michi Ego-mei-mihi-me-me. If you have some super-authentic 13th century French/German latin pronounciation guide, please sho

    The name makes me think it's about financial instruments. I would so like to see a good redo of FF3/5/T system. Something with a not-utterly-abusive-and-unbalanced level-up mechanic, please. Something where each job does give a level up bonus so there's a long-term commitment (unlike FF5), but the level-up bonuses are all roughly as good as each other (by some metric that is somewhere near vaguely balanced). This goes x10 if there is level-draining. Something only as abusable as FF5's system, not as much as FFT's system. Something with JP feeding into a tree or sphere grid thing instead of a b

    I accidentally started playing this at almost exactly the same time as Trenches - Burning Vigil. Didn't notice at first since this was so much louder. The sum was kind of weird, but they synch up quite well. I realized there had to be something strange going on around 1:00 when the Burning Vigil tune comes in audibly. Didn't think it would go well together, but then you get the middle part with the repeated SFX, and that actually kind of meshes well with it, though the Burning Vigil track is louder at that part. But by 2:30 it's kind of fallen apart. It kind of works for a moment during the st

    Check the Veldt.

    The Last Dungeon is hilarious for anyone familiar with Mahler, especially the 6th symphony, with the 2nd and 3rd also being significant. (And do I hear a little Bruckner in there?) And I never expected Fanfare for the Common Man to show up in Prancing Mad

    Heh. Realized I didn't link to the tune! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm10XVe344U
