Bummer Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 I´m siiiiiinging in the rain... Really nice stuff here. Although this is Ziwtra´s first try at getting a groovy mix, I´m not complaining. Very nice usage of the instruments, I liked that echoing piano that just skipped over that piano. At some points, it sounded just like "The place I´ll return to" from FF9, but then it got back to Blue fields once again. Calm, chill, excellent remix from our hardworking Ziwtra. Good luck with your studies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sage of Creation Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Really liked this! Just had that walking-in-the-rain-don't-give-a-rat's-ass -about-anything-else feeling to it. Will definitely keep you absorbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestermatt Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 This remix sorta reminds me of the frozen tundra section of secret of mana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master_Yoshi Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Wow, what an awesome remix this is. Perfectly captures the feeling of not really caring about anything else except what is here and now. Kinda gives me that feeling that the world could be burning but everything will be ok.

KogeJoe Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I didn't think much was possible with the track I hate most in the game. Good work in raising my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cremdogz Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I very much enjoyed this remix. I never realised how much hate the original got, I loved it so much, but just not as much as Terra from FFVI. Either way, I never compare any song I hear on this website to the original, I tend to think of it as just a different version, completely different to the original, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Great percussion and attention to detail, as well as the bass. I don't think the original melody was super compelling; it's good background music, but not something amazingly melodic, but the mix emphasizes the rhythmic qualities of the source and adds a lot of cool expansion rhythms. It's still not really active listening to me, but it took a decent BG track and made it into a great one, and i'm totally fine with that.

avaris Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Love this track! Completely captures the feel the title and the source. With the drum work I think the track can work as both BGM and active listening depending on your mood and tastes. Always hope to hear more from ziwtra.

(Lyrics) Serotriptomine Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 To tell you the truth, right when it starts to pick up at 00:20 I can see this being in a "sim city" type game where you build and manage your city. Weird I know, I agree this is nice background music. Then at 00:47 or so you recognize fully where this song originated from. It takes you back to "those days" and keeps you there until it's over. 10.00/10.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subz1987 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Love this song. I can imagine myself staring out at the Chicago skyline during a rainy day while listening to this song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweex Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Ah, do I remember this from the game. It definitely takes me back! Ziwtra does waste anytime disclosing the source material in this mix. This has a wonderful jazz fusion to it that we haven't really heard from Youngjin so far, and I gotta say, he's nailing it. Not a fan of the sax sample, but the idea what a good one. The drums are what really do it for me here. The pattern and programming are really well done and create a dynamic in the track all its own. The bass line is also wonderful as is really anchors the track, much like his past mixes. Hahn really excels at placing different levels of intensity from different instruments in the same section together. The result is always one that feels well balanced and natural. Another great piece from Ziwtra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This is a joyful and pleasant track. I like the very beginning immediately - the synth playing the simple repeating figure sounds just great, and the percussive chirp in the other channel mimicking the rhythm is a terrific detail. The playful, jumpy drums and the solid but varied bass compliment each other very well. The sax/trumpet sample is the weak link, but forgivable - the melody itself, and rest of the lead instruments, sound good. Above all, this mix has character - I think the amibent/chill feel is uniquely contrasted by the lively, kind of angular drums and bass. I was playing a random selection of ReMixes, and when this came up, I didn't know which piece it was but I did recognize it, especially it's mood. Good stuff! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumJ8 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Nice rhythms here. I actually like the source track for this; I felt it captured the feel of "exploring the map" well. This is a really nice take on it. Downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought I was familiar with all the early 'mixes, but somehow I missed this one. Liking the groove muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnaroktomorrow Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Love all the layers to this. Feels like what I might hear if FFVIII was reworked in the style of FFX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
