Impressive! Really cool

OH! I like this even more than the original. It's so enjoyable. ^__^

Lovely melodies! Everything feels calm and pleasant. The sounds are smooth, nothing harsh... contemplative. Free Fall and Dat Funk have stronger drives to them, but they're still relaxed. Fall In, Closer, Mandala, and Looking Glass share an uncanny quality with Ecco's soundtracks. Even Dat Funk could be an alternative to the normal Broken Machine level music. Reminds me also of Dan Froelich's Jill of the Jungle soundtrack!

I really enjoy this mix. Very strong Bohemian Rhapsody feel. I am wondering: why are there no female vocals for Maria? At first, I didn't notice this because I thought it was a re-interpretation without Maria singing at all. But then I read what people said, and now I'm almost certain Maria sings at 6:42-6:52 in a male voice. It's still a really cool mix. Just curious about that one thing!

Bad ass orchestral and uplifting. A slower pace than many FF fight tracks, yet carried with great power. Very appropriate. You can tell a real struggle is going on. If you like this, definitely check out his album! The Journey Begins and All Hail the Victorious are my favourites, whimsical and proud. He's made some of the absolute best FF town music too. I'm really digging his style ^__^

The clown's grand entrance. Malevolent tones that never sit still. A perfect introduction to the madman.

The whistling and vocals go together really well. Huge grin especially right after the half-way mark. Shadow is bad ass. Great song.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I've kept Omen together.

Impresario sounds really really good. But... Maria dies at the end? :c No, I do not like that at all. Sad! So I must demand that a rainbow unicorn be thrown on it for a happily ever after. ^-^ (The unicorn would rescue Maria and could be voiced by St.John. n.n) Yes... make it so! Black Genesis and Meditations on an Apocalypse go hand in hand. Bad ass. ^-^ Fanatics is one of my favourites from the ost and I love The Endless Stair. The higher you walk, the scarier it gets. >:3 There's also a great supernatural vibe, culminating with the fight at the top. Fight scenes are all top notch! Train Suplex! It has a nimbler, lighter quality than I'm used to hearing with Decisive Battle remixes. And it works! The echos (1:10) along with a sort of swinging electronic edge really make this one stand out. The Megiddo Brigade is a good stylistic precursor to Train Suplex. The Megiddo Brigade has a subtle malevolent feel and shares the lighter steps of Train Suplex. I can easily imagine how Evisceration could bleed (degrade?) into There Will Be Blood. Perfect combo Bad Octopus is still so damn catchy n__n Loopy fights for loopy foes. :3 And Polemos... ❤️ Polemos gets hearts because combat is bloody! ^-^ So engaging! A lengthy battle (or series of battles?) that never loses it's ferocity. (A question on Polemos... are 5-04 Omen IV: Polemos and 1-05 Polemos the same track? I ask because whenever I listen to compare them, I sort of get lost in the music and forget... n_n') I greatly appreciate the rockin approach for Demon, Fiend, & Goddess. The faster pace and drive sets it apart from other awesome renditions such as Prancing Dad, Dancing Madly, Black Mages', and even moAbi's. It's refreshing, to be honest. And I think it's the shortest version I've heard (7 1/2 minutes compared to 12-20), which is saying something. It's not a slow walking, grand neo-classical mix. This makes for a greater sense of urgency - like a fight where no one's messing around.

Me too. XD I'm so glad you made it. :3 It's so peppy and upbeat and-and punchy! Ah happy fight music... one of the best fight styles, really n_~ *nods* I could see that. At times, it's like listening to... Dark Verdi? But we can't let ourselves be intimidated! And, really, when you've trained yourself to that level in orchestration, your style will be different yet equally amazing!

Has-has anyone actually managed to listen to the entire album? o_o' It's hard - I keep going back to Bad Octopus. XD But today I will reach the rest and Omen. ^-^ In awe of Trauermarsch. And the rendition of Dancing Mad... Demon, Fiend & Goddess, yeh!! Humble Beginnings, Great Expectations - ah, another song for tears :')

By 2:40, I feel that sitting is disrespectful. n_n' Amazing music...

The heart of this album lies in its resolve? The heart of this album lies in its journey? This is a magnificent way to carry yourself. A magnificent symbol with welling pride. Remarkable. :')

I was wondering what great style the magic house would be done in. Powerful... frightening... uplifting. I want a magic house! :3 Ghost cry at 2:20? I'll think so n_~ And that beat!

Gentle and loving. Serene reminiscence.

Like a wraith slamming into your face and flipping over your stuff. Man... just scary. ^-^ <3

It's not a sad track... but for whatever reason, I can't even reach the midpoint before I go to tears. :') Simply lovely.

This one makes me laugh. XD And I love the rhythm. :3 Most Listened Album Track? I think so n_~

.

!! It's coming! And it's big ^__^

Oh! I love this one. Fun, light, and airy. It's so uplifting, with a nice calming outro too.

Oh man, what a beat Travels enough to keep the same groove, with enough variation to keep it interesting and fun. Definitely music to play on repeat.

For the scene, this is remarkably uplifting. I'd like to imagine it takes place after the game, when all is well. This music is great for calming the spirit. Peaceful, perfect.

Fun mix for a fun track. I never get tired of either. The music gives me a feeling of exploration and cheerful optimism, with a few moments of cautious reflection such as at 3:30. All in all, a pleasure to listen, carrying a vibe very much like the game. c:

This track has such drive! I can never quite believe it's over 6 minutes long. It's that good. ^__^ Just when you think it's slowing down, it picks you right again. A rocking track you'd listen to during a speed run.
