m68030 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 OCR00228 - Chrono Trigger 'Blue-Minded God' everything's blue in this world. i put the gun up to his head. bang. so much blood for such a tiny little hole. the deepest shade of mushroom blue. deep dark and throbbing, waiting to get free and destroy the world. death by magus. death by lavos. death by failure to download this remix.

mDuo13 Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 One of many renditions of the Magus theme. This one has a melody that is clearly evident (unlike a certain CotMM/Injury mix of the same tune - which you should also grab anway) and slowed down quite a bit. Very heavy on the bassline, and BTW, the sound samples of the old man laughing are actually straight out of the game (extra credit if you can find them in the original SPC files). Deep, moody, and deadly. Not the best, but still pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landon Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 I have the utmost respect for Zeratul (and Starcraft... and Crono Trigger) but I'm bored out of my mind right now. It just doesn't have much of an edge to it. bass bass bass.... bass... click click.... booom BOOOOM. Ok... enough. The weird little laughing sample is a nice addition though and actually adds quite a bit to it. 6 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsykora Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Bored Bored Bored. This mix has nothing to it except the bass. It's too empty. NO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFireKai Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 This mix has nothing to it except the bass. It's too empty. Not true. While it's not a scintillating Quad-Layered Classical piano vs. dueling rock guitars Magnum Opus, but it is still a great song. anyone who's played and loved Chrono Trigger will instantly recognize and respect what Zeratul has done with Magus' theme. Sometimes less is more, and if you still hate it, Play it outside to scare trick-or-treaters on Holloween. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Laminarum Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I like what you've done with his theme, very innovatively spooky and ominous, but I don't like the lack of the action-packed... umm... ass-kicking part of the original song... I think it should be around 0'41" ish? just after the big buildup? That is what makes Magus's song incredibly awesome in my book, is the very intense, epic, battle music. This is, however, like... Play it outside to scare trick-or-treaters on Holloween. Definitely that sort of atmosphere... I've played freaky remixes on Halloween... it freaked ME out! ~Falcis Umbrae~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrisare Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Im going to put some scary remixes out for trick or treaters on halloween, and this will definatley be on it. (though its not as scary as Mustin's Mario 64 remix, haunted hell ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 If this music was as magus´ castle theme, I wouldn´t have the guts to enter it. Seriously. Brrrr... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFyda Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Had this for years. I'm glad I'm not the only one who recognised the laugh sound as being from the original. That's a strange touch on the part of Mitsuda, though, putting a vocal laugh into an SNES chiptune in the first place... Very nice, understated remix. It pulses, it prowls, it growls, it scratches! It's as moody as my (imaginary) cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Way too minimalist to keep my interest, and it sounds like the file might be corrupted as well. It sounds like a skipping record in a few parts, and i'm pretty certain that it isn't intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidilian Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 If you've got earphones or speakers that really capture the bassline then this mix is great in my opinion. Very few things going on but the bass is so great it doesn't matter. Without the bass however... it would be as bad as most of you are saying it is.

DragonAvenger Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Minimalistic, a little bit of almost jazz going on, and Magus. It's not my favorite mix of the theme, but it has it's own charms in the right light. The organ sound doesn't really hold up these days, but the rest of the sounds aren't too bad. I like the piano line throughout the mix, it's a nice touch. Give it a try, you might like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I've always disliked this one, due to the production and just the approach the arrangement takes in reinterpreting a frantic orchestrated boss song as a slow rambling song. Production really hurts this though and makes it hard to even get to potentially appreciate the arrangement, since the samples and poor relative volume levels kills a desire to delve further. The arrangement actually isn't too bad, although it could be expanded somewhat. There's some creativity there, but it's hard to tell again because of the production issues.

TheCorty Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 This one is...almost too minimalistic for me. It has some elements I like, for example: overall mood impression, and a few of the chiptuney details too. But I also agree with Bahamut, except for the comment made on the arrangement approach; I don't think the direction taken was a bad idea. But yeah, I think it could have been executed better.
