Jason Covenant Posted February 6, 2003 Posted February 6, 2003 I am glad to see things have been resolved. It looks then as though ppl can continue to actually review this song without unnecessay interference. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Quote
Teliskopic Posted February 7, 2003 Posted February 7, 2003 For a first remix, this is really really good!!! I love the intro, how it just flows like a bunch of gentle waves and all the other instruments just flow in with it... that stuff really pulls me in. This certainly has a lot of different instruments, considering how many there are in the original, and it all meshes in so well. I'm practically in love with the sound of an ocarina since Zelda64, but since you say it's a bamboo flute not an ocarina, that makes no difference to how much I love this remix!!! Heheh, make that I'm practically in love with the sound any flutish sounding instrument. Don't worry about the fade at the end, first time I heard this I though it spoilt it but now when I think of it it's sort of like the flow of time, continuous and stuff, and that's what Chrono Cross runs on, time!!! Keep up the good work and looking forward to your next remix!!! Quote
k-wix Posted February 8, 2003 Posted February 8, 2003 hello Marc Star! Is this your first mix? .. its amazing, if so -> congradulate yourself. if not? congradulate yourself, well done piece, infact, VERY well done. 0:01 - Mmm.. Delicious Intro. Awesome work here. 0:15 - Sweet Guitar work..Drum beat is a good complement, though a bit on the Light side of things, i think it fits VERY well. 0:35 - That a flute? of sorts.. Im diggin the backround melody that complements it. this your first? very promising. 1:07 - Don't like that low sound. Destroy's the mood i think.. I ADORE the happy-vibe that your putting out, those high synth-type strings are beautiful. 1:36 - Cool Drum work, And that low bass sound isn't nearly as annoying as it once was. 1:54 - Cool Work here.. Again, just Awesome. 2:15 - Sorry, but i Hate that damn fadeout, it doesnt fit this at all.. Id prefer something else. Quote
jenova x Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 This was one of my favorite CC songs and now its my Fav remix. Good job Marc Star i cant wait to hear more from you. Quote
Keithius Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 My take on this song: I love it Simply beautiful - no, really, I mean that. Captures the "spirit" of Chrono Cross wonderfully, in my opinion. I personally have no problem with the fade out at the end - it kind of leaves a little mystery in my mind when this piece fades out, it's hard to explain. Whenever I hear this, it brings definate images to my mind - mostly of Serge on his boat in the ocean, wind blowing and sea spraying. Very well done. Quote
D Diamond 13 Posted March 3, 2003 Posted March 3, 2003 I've played a little of CC but i've heared more of the music than anything. This track is super sweet. It's just a very well composed piece with an extremely a nicely drawn out mix. This one's goin on my mp3 player for a long time. Keep it up Star! I envy your work! Quote
moneky714 Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 For a first submission, i thought this was a very good ReMix. Although, as many of the other posts stated, nothing "new" and groundshaking is done here, but i felt the structure of the ReMix was superb. I don't quite agree with the statement that it's repetitive, although the same melodic line is used with the guitar throughout a majority of the mix, everything else in the song changes and varies consistently throughout the song with a very nice/fluid flow. And the arranging is definitely great! Especially around :50 with the piano break-down chord comping. Great vibe coming out of that portion, with very slick timing and chord voicings (that's the part that put me over the edge to say that this was a "great" remix as opposed to a "relatively good" one) . Overall, just wanted to say, GREAT FIRST SUBMISSION! Keep it up, I'd love to see more! Quote
Ingonyama Posted March 15, 2003 Posted March 15, 2003 No matter how many times this song is remixed, they always come out "like butta." This one's mix of piano, ocarina, and hard guitar seems to accentuate the difference in mood Mitsuda used in the original mix, and REALLY gives the "hard" part of the mix a lot of kick. Definitely danceable. Quote
vgmusiclover Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 true there is nothing that sticks out in this song besides everything mixes so well, but, there is nothing to diss about this song either, it is a really great song, and i believe that Marc has a great future as a remixer Quote
.IceWinter. Posted September 4, 2003 Posted September 4, 2003 Man this is a great song! 1:15 is a great part, I cant get that part out of my head somtimes, which in this case isnt a bad thing. Quote
lord-of-shadow Posted November 6, 2003 Posted November 6, 2003 Very nice. Definitely worth a download, even for 56K users. EDIT: *5 or so hours later...* Let me tell you, this song is really, really good One of the best remixes on the site. Quote
DragonFireKai Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 I love the juxtaposition between the bambo flute and the electrict guitar. Time's Scar is a great song that you can do so much with. thank you Marc Star. Quote
BlueEnvy Posted August 31, 2004 Posted August 31, 2004 This is probably one of the more concise first submitions. Although short, it provides wonderful sound quality and arrangement. I love the smooth laid back almost jazz-ish feel, with wonderful new chord progressions and harmonies. Instrumentation is great. Marc Star is great at providing short but awesome remixes (except BootyMix, which is longer ). Blue Quote
souji_okita Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 Hi there OMG!!! This melody is SO sool.... there are soft moments... and also hard moments.... it is perfect! Quote
Vero Posted January 2, 2005 Posted January 2, 2005 I never knew that the electric guitar could be so relaxing. Great job. Quote
Josh1billion Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 This remix is EXCELLENT!! Very highly recommended! Quote
Death_to_dib Posted January 4, 2006 Posted January 4, 2006 Man first off i want to say that the original chrono cross music is some of my favorite in all of video games, and this just made it so much better. This is just mindblowing, awesome job! Quote
lady zelda Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 From the first second of this track, I knew I'd love it. The guitar work is amazing and the rest of first minute is so breezy and relaxing but it keeps you excited and on the edge with this mix of an upbeat undertone and the woodwind instrument. And the rest of it is unforgettable. The piano is amazing. I just love how you took the tune, gave it a general beat and atmosphere and then explored it on different grounds, and by that, I mean instruments and you showed how each of those instruments can interpret the original tune differently but still stay true to the original as well. Really, I'm not sure how much sense that made, but bottom line, this is amazing and I'm struggling to find ways to describe how I feel about it. What more can I say? Keep these coming! Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 This mix is definitely one of my all-time favorites. It's absolutely beautiful. Quote
shenroc Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 I personally got caught by the teacher humming and whistling this song countless number of times. =P I rate this mix 10/10 in fact I'm listening to it right now as I post this. Good job Marc. I expect more remixes like crossfire. You might have a potential as a composer. Quote
shadanan Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I have this song set to wake me up in the mornings. It is very easy to listen to. Marc hasn't done that many remixes - but this one has a beat similar to his Wild Arms RosettaRefrain remix. I think Marc has an affinity for this rhythm which is good, because I like it too. I have to admit that I've never actually heard the original version of CrossFire, but I really do enjoy this remix. That should be testament to the quality of this mix. A lot of songs fly through pure nostalgic value; this one however stands on its own. I hope Marc does some more great ones like this one. Cheers mate! Quote
Psychoscapegoat Posted December 13, 2006 Posted December 13, 2006 I love the arrangement. I don't believe it necessarily HAS to be complicated to be nice, I like this song's simplicity. Did you use real guitarwork or a sampler? It sounds like a sampler, and sounds a lot like the one used in FFX (Blitzball, i think...). I would love to get my hands one that one! Where did you get it?

HoboKa Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 This and the Pankcake Chef's song of Chrono Cross are the two best C C remixes on this site...10/10 bro Quote
Josh1billion Posted October 28, 2009 Posted October 28, 2009 Very cool remix of one of the greatest songs ever composed. Quote
