djpretzel Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Email sub file Zeal.mp3 -djp Here is a remix I did a while back, called Time's Lament, a remix of some Zeal or Schala or something theme from Chrono Trigger... I just knew the song, not its name! Put this under my other stuff as "rimco" and if you want to put my email up, it's rimco@attbi.com. Thanks Pretzel! -Rich aka rimco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vig Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 pretty good mix...i dont know if there's enough variation; i havent heard the original. ... seriously tho, this mix does get a little bit repetitive, but it is a very unique interpretation, and it is probably the best schala mix i've heard. audio quality, however, is a different story. it seems like everything is fuzzy. is this just me? am i crazy? i mean, i like this mix a lot and i want it to pass, but right now it's a NO because of the overlying fuzz. can we get this fixed? is it my speakers? am i the only one who hears this?

Digital Coma Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Ahhh Jesse, you are not familiar with the ways of rimco! This is more of his archetypical new-age distortion, rendered in the form of Schala, tried and true. I see this as obvious subject matter for the mixer, playing his mezmerizing amb-textures and haunting synths over the dreamy theme. At this point though (wishful thinking), I'd like to see a different, radical interpretation for once. But even if this is plainly weepy-woo, it's no reason to pass up. What IS a valid qualm is that there isn't too much variation: the progression is mostly note-for-note and development is not as touched-upon as it should be. I say this is worth having on-board because the predictable yet gorgeous interpretation outweighs concerns of originality, which is seldom the case.

Protricity Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 The intro is nice, but I sure hope this song becomes something soon; its really just another upgraded original. This song isnt progressing into anything more than a high quality rendition of the original repeated 4 times with no variation. Very messy in some parts.

YES OHOK...well...nevertheless. maybe all the fuzz was intentional, but it goes overboard and it detracts from the mix. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israfel Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Beautifully understated sound- just seems to float along. It's true that we already have a Schala mix that goes for the new age/atmospheric feel- and while this one is perhaps a bit more generic, it's still an excellent bit of genre work. I would have liked more interpretation of the original, but this is still pretty solid. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 What? Largely down to me? This is a dilemma. The mix is beautiful, and although there is a slight fuzzy noise underneath, it almost adds to the character. However, it is not very different from the original. I like it too much, so I'm going to say YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dan Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 YOU ARE BIASED BY YOUR LOVE FOR THE ORIGINAL AND YOUR FLEETING DESIRES TO HEAR IT UNCHANGED! ALL OF YOUR STATEMENTS ARE NULL AND VOID! I HEREBY DECLARE THIS THREAD FOR VARIETY! but seriously, folks, NO D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatdrop Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Wow, as if we didn't have enough Schala remixes already. I'm sorry, but this one just doesn't do anything really original. The arrangement is practically the original just more drawn out. Not fun. I like the overall sound it has, and the synths are nice, but the drums are anti-good, and all in all I found myself yawning a whole lot during this one.
