I'm a huge fan of Kaijin's work, but this is not his best. Don't get me wrong, it's still a cut above the rest, but it just doesn't hook me like Terra Black Crystal, or his Emotion remix.
Yes, you are. unless you consider the background music harsh noise. Perhaps the download was corrupted? try downloading it again, it is a truly great song, and a shame for anything to diminish it.
Kudos to DC13 for making such a fine ReMix. It reminds me of the scene when Alan ran into the castle right before it disapated. I can only hope that DC13 maintains such calibur of work in every one of his works.
