Monobrow Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Yay Sam, another great song on OCR. I want more of this stuff! Been listening to this for a while now, and everything flowed really well. The drums really add a lot of atmosphere and emphasis, so kudos to Dustin... er from a year or so ago when this was recorded. Quote
audio fidelity Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 beautiful! top notch work on both your guy's parts and just throwing it out there, if ya ever need a bass player drop me a line and i kinda know a crazy trumpet player at my school that can throw down, he can record himself, and do all kinds of fx on this trumpet Quote
Radiowar Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 This has been a favourite of mine for awhile, glad to see it submitted here. Great track. Quote
marcyt Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 I have yet to hear a CT remix I don't like. Piano and drums is a favorite combo of mine so I enjoyed this track. There's a bit of an urgency in the piano that is a little unsettling in a couple of spots, but nothing that keeps me from liking the track. I really like the transition that comes around 3:50. Nice job! Quote
anosou Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Good stuff for sure, keep it up Sam and remember that we all love you Quote
K.B. Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 No way! It's Trigger Chrono! This makes my night... nay, it should make the night of anyone who has not yet heard this incredible work. My initial response when listening to this many weeks ago on vgmix was something like: wow, this piano is so incredibly far beyond my abilities I can't even scratch the surface of the appreciation it deserves. To give another esoteric compliment: I've kept in touch with an undergrad friend who's in the same league as Shnabubula with regard to piano talent and this was one of the four/five remixes I randomly sent him and with this he said something like: 'this is some damn good jazz piano... pacing, balance, this is really good... this is staying on my hard drive.'. He didn't know Chrono Trigger (not a gamer) so his basis of comparison was the gamut of other musical pieces. I'll keep working on him to compose a remix to give you some more competition, Shnabubula . Phenomenal piano and solid drumming (I'll leave that complimenting to the drummers in the audience). Brilliant interpretation. Instantly one of the best pieces on ocr. Quote
DragonAvenger Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I have the WIP of this saved somewhere, and I love the completed version. Really awesome jazz piano, and the drumwork slots in just right. The second half where the piano and drums trade off really adds some shine. Just enough original stuff to get you really grooving for the last time through the melody. Great job. Quote
ZealPath Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Hmm, let's see here, Chrono Trigger...jazz remix..., couldn't have an easier time winning me over with this one, almost too easy (not that I'm implying it was easy to make!). Keep on rolling, stuff like this is never going to get old, way to go guys! Quote
LuigiFan Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I'm with djp on this one - we need more jazz, especially live (although not live is perfectly acceptable, and in fact encouraged). It's nice to know that while I'm still wallowing in the "I'm not ready to do this yet" phase of my progress towards becoming a ReMixer, there's some WONDERFUL stuff coming out. I'm really digging this track. The opening is simply lovely, but then when the drums come in you settle into a nice groove and it just...clicks. Excellent on both your parts - moar, plz. Quote
CarnCarby Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Man, so much of Mitsuda's stuff seems to lend itself really well to jazz interpretations, and you can't get much better demonstration of that than this track. The improv work is fantastic; it stays interesting and new throughout while always keeping one foot on the original tune. Love it. Quote
jintoreedwine Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 This mix is absolutely great. I am a huge fan of Chrono Trigger, and this mix does the game MUCH justice. I also happen to be a fan of jazz and you guys sound great. I can't wait until your trumpet player starts getting in to the mix ! Quote
MajLink Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Best CT mix I've heard in a long time. Keep up the good work! Quote
a_d Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 This is an old remix. I've had it in my collection for a while. It's really good, though I first found this on VGmix.com under the title "Trigger Chrono" by Shnabubula Quote
Lucentas Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 These guys are jazz geniuses. I wouldn't necessarily list jazz as one of my favorite genres, but when it's done right, it's amazing. I loved their CV3 ReMix as well, and this one is another gem in my collection. Loved the piano (I always love the piano). It's great to see something else from these guys. Quote
MaxFrost Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I got this back with the castlevania mix when LSD released their 'Uptime' album. Sadly, it's simply titled 'Chrono Trigger'. needless to say, it's still awesome. Quote
Equinox Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 This is quality in it's purest form. What a keeper. Quote
V-Jolt Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Upbeat improv jazz is my bloody favourite. This is, without a doubt my favourite Remix on this site (and I've been here for many years) I've always wanted to learn Bass Guitar too, btw LSD: PLEASE give me more of the same. Perfect song choice, perfect execution I love this damn song. Quote
Platonist Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 i listened alot to this track already, as many others under the name Trigger Chrono .-. from VGMix .. BUT i can't say it enough - It's my favorite CT Remix of all time, so perfect - i just wish it wasn't just SD involved .. i'd love that last (first) L to show me some awesomeness aswell.. great work Dustin and Sam - you guys are absolute WIN Quote
bamblakopz Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Undeniably beautiful Soothing, relaxing, everything that Jazz gives us. I am falling a sleep to this music tonight... Quote
halc Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 damn dude you are an amazing piano player. drummer guy's pretty good himself. excellent excellent Quote
