SLyGeN Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I don't know how to describe this in musical terms, but right at 1:42 and 3:37 the key changes or something. Some very minor-key-sounding element. And it's just a few notes. It's very haunting, and very beautiful, all at once. Music theory amazes me, so I'm very curious to know how someone musically talented would describe that brief break. It's something to do with the key the music was in previously and the transition to something different that makes it stick out so much for me, I think.

avaris Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Really enjoying this track. Xenosphere is def one of my all time favs on OCR so this automatically gets two thumbs up. The vocals and sound design really help carry the song and immerse into an excellent atmosphere. Maridia isn't exactly the greatest source in the world to base a remix of off. It had some good ambience through minimalism. This mix basically took the good points about the source and makes them 10x better. One of my fav pixie vocal performances thus far too! The hooks in the melody were awesome. Great stuff dude and dudette! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizyr Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 One thing that struck me listening to this again at the OCR panel... The way Jill did the vocals for the main melody, plus the overall atmospheric vibe of the song, reminds me a lot of the opening song for Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. In a good way; I really liked that song. KF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playingtokrush Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 The first minute or so of this track was building me up to a climax of epic proportions, then the vocals came in and I became flaccid and unfulfilled. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jintoreedwine Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 This remix is stunning. I LOVE the atmosphere that this song sets, and I also think it stays completely true to the games in the Metroid series (not that remixes have to do this) . I have been listening to this song frequently since I downloaded it, and I just cannot get enough Keep up the great work pixietricks and zircon!

playingtokrush Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Any particular reason, or do you just not like vocals in anything? Lyrics almost always detract from a song for me (see also: Dragon Song), so a good instrumental lead would have been better in my ears -- just a matter of personal preference.

WillRock Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 This is awesome, I love the introduction the singing is brilliant and the atmosphere is very haunting. This was done in 48 hours? Jill and zircon have done brilliantly, but I wouldn't expect anything less from them. Great stuff, I'll download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobuu Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 ok. so up until now i had my faves: terra in black, pheonix symphonic, etc. mostly stuff from the FF games that i know so well. but after i heard this you have reawakened my inner samus and i have to say that this piece is sooo beautiful. i feel as if i'm samus walking in the caves of zebes or sr388 look at the little enemies on my way to grab jump ball or something. i can hear the footsteps of dark samus in the deep and the screech of ridley in the distance. my new fave piece obviously. thank you and NEVER STOP mixing! (and pixie [your vocals right?] why are you not doing that professionally!!?) kudos from kobuu:-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah as for whether or not this is the best pixietricks song ever, it's hard to say. It's hard to beat Hajime and Via (FFX). As for zircon, don't worry I think he's awesome too! This was awesome but I don't know if it beats his Eternal Champions one. But yeah Kindred is definitely one of my fav remixes ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 my new fave piece obviously. thank you and NEVER STOP mixing!

Hale-Bopp Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Great stuff! What a team you guys make. So complimentary in every way. What else is there to say, you guys rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weimar Pluto Knight VII Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes Kobuu! Go get her album if you loved this. You'll fall in love with those songs too like I did. I think David quoted Andrew and said a track from there was an inspiration for the musical style for Kindred so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar of Justice Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 pixietricks, Please do more dark and haunting sounding stuff! I would love to hear something like this on your inevitable next CD! P.S. Really appreciated the thank you card that came with Origins. You've earned a permanent fan.
