zircon Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Whoa. It's a bit much to say it's better than any other music. Maybe in your opinion, perhaps. Obviously. How else could you judge any work of art? You didn't say "in my opinion", however. This remix is a good song, but I believe if you asked a random sampling of one hundred musicians, you would find that a very small percentage (or a zero percentage) would say this it is the best song ever.

herograw Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 to tell the truth, i have never liked this song, from the moment i first downloaded it. the real proof of its greatness, though, comes from the fact that no matter how much i can't stand it, i can still clearly see why so many other people love it. ailsean definitely did the original justice. -rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplejet Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Ok, the remix starts out a little slow, but the guitar work rocks, like I heard it somewhere else...maybe on some ending of movie or something. Anyway, perfect Rock remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did explain my extreme bias at the beginning. (This is getting a bit obsessive-complulsive, isn't it? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Eat Time Posted June 1, 2003 Share Posted June 1, 2003 All right. I've listened to this remix a lot and I think I've finally got a solid opinion. The guitar rocks, hands down no questions asked. Ailsean has proven over and over again he's an incredible guitar artist, and the touch of a REAL guitar perhaps makes this song as highly acclaimed as it is. However, I think that's the problem. The real guitar sounds great, but it's backed up with a lot of very obviously synthesized sounds. This is what really turns me off in the remix, the way the great sounding guitar grates right up against the bleeps and clicks and the synth trumpet. The drums sound real 80's to me as well, which isn't my bag, though someone else might like it. Overall, the guitar work was great and refreshing, and adds a powerful tone to the remix. However, the synth and the almost overdone quality with the strings and drums and trumpets really detracts from it and leaves the rest of the mix, outside of the guitar, feeling kind of impotent. A good remix, but not my favorite on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berrik Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I absolutely loved this remix. When I first heard it I wasn't so sure, but that's partly because I didn't really like Terra's Theme in FF6 that much on its own anyway. I was actually sent this remix ages ago by a friend and I decided to listen to it a couple of times, and it really did grow on me. The guitar playing is amazing, I don't think anyone can doubt that. I thought the intro was great too, as was the improvised section at about 2:40... the whole thing was just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerol Oplan Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 You're saying you DON"T like the trumpet? I think it adds character to the intro, and while it's not exactly smoothly integrated, works well to build up into the main melody. Anyway, this is 100% Kick ass and then some. Just one more thing: Does this remind anyone of the Law & Order opening theme at all? I thought it did slightly, and I'm not saying anything specific here, but it brings the latest episode into my mind every time I hear it...but i'm a big law & order freak, so that might have something to do with it too...

The Berserk Fury Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Great work but i have 1 problem with it. At first you think its going to be a classical but then the gutairs come in. I mean they just pop out.(That dident sound right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvercloud Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Does not this piece evoke powerful emotions? I know it can for me, I just need to open my heart and give myself up to the music. This is not just the best remix on the site, its an example of music at its finest, evoking emotion... I could die a happy death if everyone in the world could hear this song as I do...

YtseJam04 Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 I like this one. I loved the guitars. If I were playing it I would have done a few things slightly differently, like hammer on and pull off a couple spots differently, and trilled a few notes differently, but that's just my style, the way this guy did it was beautiful either way.

ObeySteve Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Absolutely mind-blowing. Easily the best RPG remix I've ever heard, and he definetely picked the right song to use. Terra's Theme just kicks ass to begin with, and the guitar works just brings it to a whole new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkTelepath Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 This is my first post here, and I decided to make it on one of my personal favorites. I've read a lot about the debate 'Which is better: Terra in Black or Death on the Snowfield' and I listened to both of them... but I think this is better. Death on the Snowfield is a great track... but when I listen to it, it just doesn't seem as remixed as this one, if that makes any sense. It just seems too like the original, IMO. That and I love the guitar This is a very powerful piece and ranks among my top favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassdeluxe27 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 This piece is absolutely incredible!!! I love the perfect blend of the synthesized sounds with the guitar. This made my list of first ten songs downloaded, and is still a personal favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z38stinger Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 This song is friggin amazing! I love Ailsean's proficiency with the electric guitar, and his choice to remake old stuff. KICKASS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tets Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 Ah, one of my favorite Final Fantasy remixes. I didn't like the music in 6 as much as in the later games, but this remix takes the original tune's "awesome" factor and raises it exponentially. I just love the electric guitar in this mix, especially around 2:50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 This mix is a perfect example of how to remix. Ailsean took a mediocre VG song and turned it into one of the top five mixes on the site. The background synth and bass lines provide a wonderful atmosphere for this mix, but what REALLY takes this mix to the next level is the second guitar. Without it, this mix would still be good--the mix's first climax is when the first guitar kicks in--but using it fill in the pauses in the original theme with noodling worked so incredibly well (see: ~2:15). I hope to be able to write harmonies and complimentary melodies half as well some day. The only thing I would change is the pinch harmonic in the main guitar at about 2:30.

z38stinger Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 i am wondering if its safe to say that ailsean is to OCR as jimi hendrix was to rock. as for this remix, phenomenal. DL now or face the wrath of a hundred enraged llamas! (shakes fist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I wouldn't say that. This is definitly a good remix, it is way above the bar. But it's NOT groundbreaking, and it certainly hasn't changed the scene much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
