OCR01719 - Final Fantasy XII "The Winds of Inishmore"

[Alexis]

Yes!!! FFXII, awesome.

This is a really nice mix, it's so relaxing and I think you did a great job.

Hope to hear more from you in the future.

Very nice choice of instruments. While the melody doesn't really do anything for me, I like listening to this just for the unusual instruments we get to hear.

[Shadow Wolf]

GREAT mix. I loved the harp work, and it's just generally beautiful. Wonderfully interesting sounds and textures. Great work!

[DeepChild]

This song really puts me at ease and draws me in. I can't help but feel a twinge of sadness everytime I hear it, but I really enjoy the experience. It's been quite inspirational. Very nice work.

Unlike, it seems, everyone else, I'm not enjoying this, and it's the aimlessness that's tripping me. I think something in the arrangement should pin this down. The drums sound really weak, and I think it's rather the arrangement than the sound. At spots like 1:34-1:35 and 3:08-3:09 and 3:12 I'm just.. what?! Is this a scratched CD? At the same time, it's sounds quite beautiful, calm and serene.. the understated synths sounds great with the harp. There are a lot of good rhythmic ideas too, but it just tries way too hard and does not hold together.

First thing I noticed was some very high and noticeable, almost piercing upper EQ spikes on the plucking. But then there's some little beautiful gems of arrangement and production here, especially the windy slide. Eino did mention about "wandering", but not all who wander are lost; it's atmospheric more than anything else. To quote Kath and Kim, it's nice, it's different, it's unusual.

This takes a pretty but plain source, and adds so much to it with the arrangement. Cool stuff!

Very relaxing remix. The harp and effects really give me breezy, springtime vibes. I could loop this all day on St. Patrick's Day.

I definitely enjoy the pitch and filter sweeps on the percussion, but I also am not a big fan of some parts of the piece. Even though it's accentuated well, the stutter-gaps as outlined by Eino are jarring against an otherwise peaceful soundscape. Still, it's a wonderful arrangement of an incredibly short source.

Come for the vibes, stay for the drum filtering during the midsection. Overall, this is my preferred way to be played into a Game Over.
