Question: why does the tracker recommend the official client for Mac users? That thing is a piece of crap.

You guys have no idea how many times Eric has dragged me into the TIMARA studio or Dascomb TV lounge or whatever and forced me to listen to this piece, whatever form it may have been in at the time. Although I'm thus thoroughly sick of listening to it, it's excellently done. This man loves Uematsu and loves the piano and will someday be writing music professionally. You'll see. In the meantime, download this Mix and enjoy. Now, if I can just get him to stop bashing Chrono Cross and do some arrangements from it, we'll be in business.

Star Salzman, can I have your children?

Yummy. Amazing how well this turned out, especially considering that it came from a game with approximately two discrete songs in it. This preserves the feeling of the original excellently, if not doing a better job.

...that's quite a long time to listen to one song, isn't it? (Not that I'm crapping on the song -- it is good stuff.)

Wow. I was expecting just another Zeal mix, and then bam -- here comes that saxophone. Nicely done.

Is it just me, or is the name of the piece oddly reminiscent of the name of FFVI's opera?

This is one high quality song. Usually I don't keep songs from games that I haven't played, but this one is a five-star exception. EDIT: What do you mean, "download times"? I would say that bad download speeds are more indicative of the quality of your ISP, and not OCR's servers.

The song doesn't stand out, but it was fun. , were you eating dinner while you wrote the initial review?

I think it's more the concept than the song that's frightening.

The very beginning sounds like the opening to "Mr. Roboto". Just an observation.

Xan is the final boss in UT.

Remember Gradius? The game was so hard that the programmers gave you a break and gave no weapons at all to the final boss.

Neo-Exdeath from FF5 -- only because you needed EVERYBODY ALIVE to get a good ending -- at the end, Butz was dead and, for some reason, unrevivable, and Faris was stone, dead, and a frog. Grr...
