This is a piano-driven orchestral remix of the Inner Sol Sanctum track (also reffered to as "The Elemental Stars") from Golden Sun. It mainly concentrates on the main theme of the track, whil placing a part of the lead-up at the end of the mix. It's considered basically finished, but I still need feedback on it http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KEALAMJN

James George pretty much sums it up. I like the idea behind the mix, but either make it shorter (when the refined part kicks in, I unfortunately already lost my interest) or add some more structure. Ambient and structure don't have to exclude each other. Other than that, I think the mix has a lot of potential. Good luck!

Yep, that's great! I love the final part you added; the piece now really comes full-circle. A bit of doctoring on the horn would be good, and I felt that during the last rendition of the theme, the melody gets a bit drowned by the background brass. But other than that: Great!

I love the production value behind this song, definitely fitting the military aspect of MGS. However, as said before, throw some extra stuff in the middle section to make it less meandering. And the brass section after the MGS theme sounds like a build-up to something that doesn't come. Perhaps a last rendition of the theme or a return of the quiet opening secion would help. Other than that: a well-executed take, considering the popularity of the source material.
