Scaredsim Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Nice guitar/piano sound and playing! But seriously, I can't recognize at all the theme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh wow... this is lush... kinda hard to hear the source, it doesn't stand out to much... if you don't listen closely it floats over you for some reason, altho its def there great original take, i'm downloading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duskvstweak Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I like this take. I guess I was expecting more of the piano as the focus, but I love that the guitar is there and just strumming along. I don't have a hard time picking up the source, but I'm used to this song. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROTO·DOME Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 You've caught me in my "I need smooth jazz" phase. This is so good, simplistic instrumentation coupled with awesome chords. It just works, and well. Oh man, I wanna write something like this now... Thanks for the mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid wind Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 very interpretive and unique remix, this instantly became one of my favorite LTTP remixes. I love the minimal approach in this, it helps create a sense of melancholy isolation that you'd expect of a dark world that is mostly absent from more ornate versions of this theme including the original. the ending is a little awkward to my tastes, not really finishing the phrase, but a pretty minor gripe for an otherwise amazing remix, I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechaFone Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Gorgeous...I love the simplistic style, and the song itself is so smooth and quiet, it's very soothing. Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakthielbar Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Me like. The arrangement isn't gaudy or show-offish, which is the biggest problem I have with the majority of piano pieces and guitar pieces, and with both together, I would have expected some musicianship masturbation odyssey thing. But nope. Also, the tone on the piano is making me feel all melty. In a good way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Dig. Very much. I kinda have to, lol, since I'm also a graduate of CRAS. (2008-07-25 start date, yo!) Very cool (as in cool as ice) remix, it makes me want to go to sleep in a good way. Either that or it's just that late at night right now. Who cares? It's an awesome arrangement and a very tasteful remix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarnCarby Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I love the martial character of the original so much that I never would have thought to recast it like this, but it works really well! Nice arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i'm so happy that Brian and Cliff redid this one. It was good initially, but fixing the small bits made it great. Highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Great collab on this. The feel of knowing it was recorded live really makes a difference in the emotions you feel from it. Much more intimate and lonely feeling (oxymoron?). Great work on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwordBreaker Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Nice, nice. Very chill. Great playing, recording, and improvisation on the original track...the guitar and piano compliment each other well throughout most of the track.

jintoreedwine Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 This mix is incredible! Both the guitar and piano work were top notch. What I enjoy about this piece the most is the emotion. Sweet collab. guys! I'll be listening to this mix for a quite a while . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZealPath Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Become a pretty big fan of this one since it was posted. I definitely had a harder time than normal picking out the source, and may still be looking for parts of it, but this is really just a beautiful song any way you slice it. Almost feels wrong to call it a "mix" when you know it was recorded live, which, incidentally, is very cool as well! This almost has that kind of "piano collections" feel to it at times, very peaceful, though the guitars ensure that it becomes more than that. Overall a very interesting and creative take on a theme that usually sees more mixes that portray it more like a march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Penwald Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Personally, I thought that the source was quite obvious, though I wish there would have been more of in it; at times, this arrangement feels a little too liberal, IMO. Also, seconding what the write-up/judges said; the piano and the guitar don't sound as if they were in the same place; the guitar is much more up front. Nevertheless, this is an enjoyable piece of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moguta Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Wow. When this music came up in the background, I thought to myself: "Did it just switch to the Genso Suikoden Piano Collections? I thought I was playing OCR music?" Lo and behold, my Winamp had not spazzed. And this music, which was smooth and tempered enough to fool my ears into thinking it was from an official album, was an OC ReMix. I absolutely adore the chill, laid-back vibe, the slow, deliberate pacing, the light touch of expressiveness, and the heavy dose of interpretation. The skill and emotion is plainly evident from both players. Excellent job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramikadyc Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I've been enjoying OC Remix for five years now and have come across numerous masterpieces, but this one just spoke to me. I finally bit the bullet and registered an account just to compliment on what an amazing piece of music this is. The positions and distances of the guitar in relation to the piano automatically and instinctively creates a picture in my mind's eye of watching an ambient music video shot by a single, still camera, where the guitarist is sitting on a stool very close to the lens offset to the right, only visible from the neck down due to his proximity, and in the background on the left some meters away in the back of the dark oak floored room is a female pianist with her solid black device just visible from the side, details obscured by the distance, never looking up from the keys. Marvelous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I love this so much. The delicate interplay of instruments has brought a lot of inspiration to me as an aspiring pianist... I'd love to write music like this with friends when I get a better grasp on how to make instruments compliment each other better, but you'd better believe that I'll be coming back to this mix whenever I need a shot of inspiration! So beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 This has a really somber/blues feel to it, and the combination is quite interesting. The piano really sets the somber stage, but the acoustic shows some blues styled playing and you wait for the song to possibly break open from that. The slowdown at the end of the song really is a nice way to end the song with its unexpectedness. It's a well-crafted song and I found it surprisingly enjoyable. I'd love to hear more!

Crulex Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Kinda agree with DJP on this one, I got a more bluesy, slower Floyd feeling out of this one, and it's not a direction I think of in combination often, but it sounds great. A terrific ballad for sure, and while I prefer definitive endings instead of what I call drift endings myself, this still worked for me. Very nice.
