The 7th Saga is great stuff! It'll be interesting to hear the results!

Oh well, i'm glad you're still here.

It's been hard to keep up lately, but I can't bear to see this all putter out from a slow season.

Thanks Souperion for filling the void.

It's always been like that lol.

I've just realized i forgot to vote or give feedback lol.
So i'll do it now.
Aurelien Castel: Really liking the array of cool square like sounds. Really gives it that oldschool c64 kind of sound. Main melody is super dynamic, love it a lot. It's got a lot of cool acoustic moments in the piece, despite it's electronic leanings. Each sound changes throughout, it's pretty cool. It almost has a Jazz Fusion meets Chiptune approach. Some of the sounds can unfortunately get a bit loud, or at least close to the threshold. I'm not sure if the chord changes are deliberate, because they sound very spicy (Maybe dissonant depending on who's listening). I don't mind them, but i have to be in the right frame on mind, otherwise i might perceive it as dissonant. Despite that though, the whole arrangement is really great, i love the cool new sounds added in this. It's just a really lovely arrangement, well done! Congrats on winning by the way!
Souperion: Welcome back to remixing dude! This is some really cool orchestral styled approach here. Loving the piano, it's like a mix of Jazz and Orchestral. The drum parts were delightfully 80's sounding, and the synth parts were really juicy and trance like. On it's own, it can get a little...weird and uneven mix wise, but when mixed with the strings and piano, it adds a wonderful electronic edge to the sound, really making it like some Disco thing. The piano is a wonderful touch, makes it more of anime type piece lol. The mix does need some touches for me, the piano is a bit too much in front, and i would add a bit more electronic sounds to bridge the gap more. I feel like there isn't enough to distinguish the 2 (Just a taste thing in my opinion). Ending gets a little distorted for me. The fade out is very sudden, no anticipation for the ending. Despite all that, you did a wonderful 80's styled take on it, with some amazing melodies and sounds. Well done!
Thanks for a fun round. Sorry i couldn't give a proper remix this time, but i will do for the future rounds. Again congratulations to Aurelien Castel, really great job! See you next round!
