avaris Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Loved the sound design on this with all the synths, excellent pacing as well. Awesome title too! Kudos for putting together such a great track....epic driving music FTW. Quote
HitoriJaNai Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Right off the bat, I was excited about this song when I heard the preview for it that happened at MAGFest. So excited, in fact, that when I came across it as a cellphone ringtone on Greg's site, I played it over and over. And over. Thirty seconds of bliss evolved into four minutes of pure epicness. Honestly, the more Audix does, the better he gets. It's on repeat on my mp3 player, and will be there for a while. Great job, man. Quote
Loning Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Sweet mix!! I could definitely see myself listening to this while in fights playing FF IV! It's very upbeat. Quote
Crulex Posted July 21, 2009 Posted July 21, 2009 Impressive to say the least. As my favorite FF fight song, I was looking forward to this, and it was a grand remix indeed. Good on ya, mate! Quote
A-RoN Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Love the beginning. At first I thought it was going to be like a cliche movie soundtrack-ish hip-hop beat but all of a sudden, the drum and bass breaks came barging in. The execution and composition is excellent! It is a very unpredictable mix and still stays true to the original track feel which in a way is really hard to pull off. 10/10 Quote
Bahamut Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 This track has quite a bit of subtlety to it - first it enters in a brooding tense moment that is a calm before the storm, before going into full swing with the music, which shifts notably with each repetition. It's quite amazing what a change of a few notes can do to change the interpretation. Quote
Radiowar Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 I was a bit surprised by this, I've always thought of this as a song from SMRPG. It's probably my favourite video game tune ever, and this track is pretty much everything you could hope for in a remix. excellent! Quote
Marmiduke Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Did I just drill into a wellspring of Pendulum-style synth drum-and-bass awesomeness? Because I'm happily drowning in a deluge of it. Love the asymetrical approach to the arrangement. It doesn't feel constrained by a genre that often overestablishes and falls into repetition, and handles the obscure deviations of the melody really well, even in its heaviness. Strings are a very welcome touch among the meticulous chaos. Given the concept, this was always going to be a wall of sound but it's most surprising (or not, given that this is Audix) that there's something quite subtle in what it does. Dare I say, I think this showcases a bit of musical maturation arrangement-wise. Very classy DnB that brings some smarts into the mix along with the usual energy, energy, energy. I do like. Quote
Sole Signal Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks guys. I knew the genre for the source could end up being a bit polarizing, but good to hear some liked it. Now on to other styles. Quote
jintoreedwine Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Audix, love the intro! It really sets the mood for the rest of the mix, which is quite well done itself. I am a pretty large fan of the source tune, which means I am extremely critical of making sure that justice was served to it. Let me tell you, this piece serves much justice and comes with a side of awesome. Great job! Quote
OceansAndrew Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Great stuff- total attitude and an awesome source song. I'm really glad Greg took this one on, he did an amazing job. Quote
Emunator Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 This just goes to prove that Audi... err, Sole Signal is a master of his genre. Everything he does is turned up to 11 and holds absolutely no punches. The growling piano and bass, insane leads, and tried-and-true drums all feel like the perfect D&B song to me. It's electronic music through and through, but involvement with other instruments is just present enough so that the song feels unique and classy! I was looking forward to this one a lot because of the remixer and the fact that I recognized the source from SMRPG, and it absolutely lived up to my high expectations and even surpassed them. Please keep making music like this! Quote
swansdown Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Fantastic build up before the blast at 1:00! And I love how it stays on the source yet still mixes... things... up. o_o Ah that's the definition of a 'remix', isn't it? ... Well it's still awesome! Quote
timaeus222 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Aside from some synths being rather resonant above 12kHz, this is pretty cool. =) Quote
