djpretzel Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
Deepblue82 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 This was one of my favorite tracks from the game and you guys really took it to another level. Great work with the hauntingly beautiful guitar! I would love to see an Animusic rendered to match this track. Awesome job and I agree, it's a pity that this didn't make it onto VotL. -Peace Quote
anosou Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 AnSo was actually givin' me the hard press to post this mix a bit sooner, since the recent gap between this mix and his last is apparently the first time since he had a mix on the site that one of his tracks wasn't on the homepage. I'm horrible like that, glad it's finally up Also, persistent plethora of plucky and powerful pastiche Way to use words right there! Quote
marcyt Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I really like this! It's a bit haunting--in a good way! I agree that it's a little Beatlesque, but moreso at the beginning than all the way through. Quote
Black Mage Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I like! Sort of smooth and spacey...in a way? This reminds me a lot of those Animusic DVDs, actually. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4T6KORBH0P0 Quote
psychophan7 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I like the intro, has a bit of an Octavarium sound to it. Overall a very mellowing remix. Quote
Thrull Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 In ten seconds I knew this was the perfect approach to this song. Great job. Really captures and enhances that expansive feel of the original. Quote
Platonist Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 oh geez, what an awesome co-lab, perfect interpretation of a perfect source .. ever since i heard it earlier today i've had this super urge to play FFVII .. i just have to play tonight ^^ anso, you keep surprising us with awesome mixes and fishy! i really love all 3 of your works here on the main site, glad to see that there's more to come .. two judges, one mix ... can't be any cooler than this Quote
Jaybell Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Man I really like the use of the mellotron flutes! The whole song is really really pretty but especially that segment for some reason :3 Quote
SonikBoom Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Recently in #ocrwip...

burnham909 Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 The intro guitar made me think of this song And btw great mix, into teh ipod Quote
cloudkitt Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I always liked 'Lifestream'. Very cool mix, really interesting sound on the guitar. I'm glad you said that Burnham, because that was the first song I thought of when I heard this, I just didn't know name of it. But djpretzel's right, that middle bit really does sound like Strawberry Fields Forever. It's even impressive how many different sounds they managed to cram in there, nice work. Quote
anosou Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I'm glad you said that Burnham, because that was the first song I thought of when I heard this, I just didn't know name of it. But djpretzel's right, that middle bit really does sound like Strawberry Fields Forever. It's the same Mellotron the beatles used recorded with the same microphones in the same studio (Abbey Road) so it's not that strange you all think that: http://www.propellerheads.se/products/refills/ark/ No, I don't work for props. I just like props. :3 Quote
DramaNoMore Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I'm in awe... Couldn't be done any better than this. I really miss that game ... Quote
Karrde Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Less beatles, more David Gilmour era Pink Floyd, in my opinion. Say what you want about that era, but I enjoyed the music despite the drama. Very atmospheric, almost a dark/great mystery quality to it. Very nice. Quote
progman32 Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Was that a theremin? I swear that was a theremin and not a guitar... OK, maybe not... Quote
Nobbynob Littlun Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 This piece brings to mind the later episodes of the anime Trigun... I dunno about flowing, but it has very much the sound of a journey to it. And of science fiction. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Figures it'd take Anso to finally get Fishy to actually see a mix to completion. Great Top Gun style intro, with some nice synth backing and some soaring guitars, beautiful harmonies included. Even Iceman's heart would melt a bit when faced with such a majestic anthem. The bridge was good as well, but is it just me, or does that mellotron sound a shade sharp? It was a bit jarring on a few notes, but not severe enough to wreck the mix. Overall some good work, I really dug it. You guys can be my wingmen anytime. Quote
Captain_Video Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 This is making me think of the opening shots of Blade Runner. Very Vangelis at the start. Quote
MechaFone Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Wow. I don't have much else to say about it. It sounds a little bit like Legend to me, in some parts. Majestic. Awesome. Quote
Hy Bound Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 I love this song. The soundscape (har har, but seriously, no pun intended) is absolutely stellar; it perfectly captures that 80's sci-fi movie feel, yet still keeps the sound fresh and new. It actually made me go back and listen to the Bladerunner and Mass Effect soundtracks, which I once again love. Cain not only has an awesome name, but is a great guitar player and the sound works perfectly into Mattias' great synthetic tapestry o' soundliness. Also, soundliness should totally be a word. Damn English and their word exclusivityliness. Quote
LionheartAce Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 I loved this mix. The intro was very reminiscent of Trigun's "People Everyday" to me. Very good work. Quote
Wild Armor Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 The fluttery synth was a bit too much, but once the track picked up it was pretty enjoyable. Quote
Thin Crust Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 given the persistent plethora of plucky and powerful pastiche he's providedI like this. Quote
WillRock Posted October 18, 2008 Posted October 18, 2008 Very good. It reminds me of final ecstasy by ailsean. Nice job guys, this sounds awesome Quote
