EvilRyu38 Posted March 17, 2004 Posted March 17, 2004 Honestly I HATED this theme from the game... HOWEVER, this remix is one of my favorites, its a slick beat...I cant talk much more, I love this goddamn thing 10/10 Quote
CTPhoenix Posted March 20, 2004 Posted March 20, 2004 Fantastic arrangment. the ...Saz? added a new slice to the song. I want to know if the Sax was synthetically created (probable) or if it was recorded. I was Impressed by the addition of the organ, but it did distract from the groove of the song. Very good. No matter how good it was, it was zeal. A little disheartening. But very good. Glad I have it. Quote
FusionMonkey64 Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Excellent take on the standard Zeal remix. This mix goes far beyond where others left off. The sax solo and the organ really bring out the laid back mood of this piece. The jazz like feel to this piece really seperates it from other Crono Trigge Remixes. It really breaks the mold. Great Job. Quote
The Captain Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Nice. Very Nice. I never tire of good Zeal remixes. Quote
anclunn Posted March 26, 2004 Posted March 26, 2004 Typically whenever I listen to a Zeal remix I start thinking to myself, "Why has nobody ever remixed the Magus battle music?" Rarely does a zeal remix appeal to me enough to keep from falling into the repedative trap of giving away the entire melody right away and then simply becomming redundant afterwards. "Time Chill" was a pleasant diviation from the norm as it wasn't unnessesarily short to compensate for a lack of music and to avoid the above mentioned problem. It rather stretched the theme out to just over 3 minutes while still managing to not only keep my attention but struck me as origional and novel (A difficult thing to do with a song that has been remixed so often). The strengths lie in mv's ability to use fight the common use of techno as a mainstay, but instead use synthetic sounds for an atmospheric effect that provided the background for the string, organ and sax leads that will often provide their own harmony intermingled with their own rendition of the main melody. A wonderful job and my favorite version of this tune so far. Quote
apeiron Posted May 1, 2004 Posted May 1, 2004 Wow. This is the first OCRemix that I've downloaded (and by no means the last -- I type this as I'm Torrenting ). And it never ceases to amaze me with its sheer beauty. I can, and have, literally listened to this song all day (more than once). ... of course, the fact that the Zeal tune from CT is my favorite CT tune -- and one of my overall favorite game tunes -- doesn't hurt. Call me a plebeian, platitudinous cliché, but I absolutely love all of the Zeal remixes. It is quite clear to me why so many people choose that song. Quote
Cerd_Fen Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 It's an O.K. song and all, but there's an abrupt, and i mean ABRUPT, cut to the one song from FF9 at about 3:00. After about a minute of that song, it ABRUPTLY ends... Is this supposed to be happening? Quote
Kyle Nin Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 It's an O.K. song and all, but there's an abrupt, and i mean ABRUPT, cut to the one song from FF9 at about 3:00. After about a minute of that song, it ABRUPTLY ends... That's not from FF9, that's the Chrono Trigger main theme at about 2:58. And I'd hardly call it ABRUPT. I thought mv mixed it quite well with the Zeal theme. Quote
fetusboy Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 This is very good stuff. First track I heard from MV. Even though the section with the saxaphon reminds me of some elevator music I heard in Walmart, this song is really catchy. Gives me that "Stayin' Alive" disco feel. Excellent. Quote
murphdog Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Listening to this reminds me of something I could put on and have a nice game of volleyball on the beach. That's what Zeal is to me. It's such a good mix. Congrats. You should run this around to record companies and see if they will pick you up. ^^ Quote
Kassi Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 I, on the other hand, will not grow tired of this song being remixed. The mix is very ethereal. Did a good job. Will remain in my winamp playlist for a while. Quote
Gnam Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 This is yet another excellently executed mix of the zeal theme, but I feel like all the zeal remixes are starting to sound like the exact same thing but with a slightly different string instrument used for the lead melody. Hopefully the next Zeal remix takes a completely different aproach from what we've heard so far. I think it would be possible to retain the "etheriality" of the song without resorting to the same "smooth jazz" style that 8/10 zeal mixes use. Someone please surprise us next time. Quote
Bummer Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I´m just gonna stop trying... Great work here from mv, a Zeal remix that really get it all going, ya´know!? Very cool sax at the middle( i believe it´s a sax so just let me believe okay) and a great walkover to Zeal´s final melody at the end. THIS is the greatest Zeal remix ocremix has and will have. mv rules. Quote
Cerd_Fen Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Very good jazzy style remix of an old good song. Even if this particular track's been more or less beat to death, I'm still liking this remix. (Yes.. Posting this here mostly because there's gotta be a nice review on the page for a nice song. ) Anyway, a few posts ago, I made a serious error: It's an O.K. song and all, but there's an abrupt, and i mean ABRUPT, cut to the one song from FF9 at about 3:00. After about a minute of that song, it ABRUPTLY ends... That's not from FF9, that's the Chrono Trigger main theme at about 2:58. And I'd hardly call it ABRUPT. I thought mv mixed it quite well with the Zeal theme. Having gone through and downloaded all of the 1-1250 remixes offered over bittorrent, I can safely say my problem was similar to that skipping stuff casued by playing while bittorent has half-finished downloads. I have no idea how I ended up getting a bad download of the song, but it's much better now that I've got the right version. Quote
Bummer Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I have no idea how I ended up getting a bad download of the song, but it's much better now that I've got the right version. Yeah, happens to me too, but it works if you change the one you have with a new downloaded one. Quote
I_Love_OC_ReMixes Posted December 24, 2005 Posted December 24, 2005 Im suprised, some of these mixes are years and years old but not many replies to their mixes here Anyway I joined this Site JUST to say how MUCH I LOVE all these Remixes, I will comment on ALL my favourite mixes! Been listening to this mix almost Every Day for months. I swore to myself I will register to this godblessed website and give my feedback! I love you all! Merry Christmas!!! beautiful work mv - I love you and merry xmas Quote
Sole Signal Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 2 1/2 year bump! Was just browsing through my remix collection tonight and came across this gem. One of my favorite OCR chill tracks, looped it three times cause it's just that good. Quote
badhabit Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 well worth the bump, Audix. This has always been toward the top of my "most frequently played" playlist. I just can't get enough of the bassline and the organ parts - never mind the great saz and sax leads. Quote
Schloss Ritter Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 This ReMix is well worthy of being used on the in development remake of CT, not that there's anything against reusing the excellent original tune. Quote
42 Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 o_o According to the write up the lead string is called a "Saz", and it frightens me a bit. For the most part I like this mix, it has an energetic groove balancing out a mellow smoothness reminiscent of jazz. It also has a nice breezy/airy aspect to it making it feel whimsical. This mix just seems to say "Slow down, chill, and get reenergized." All in all, very solid mix. Quote
theeggman85 Posted April 18, 2010 Posted April 18, 2010 It's not jazz guys! Closer to hip-hop or something. Genre rant aside, this is one tight remix. Nice work indeed; very relaxing. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Nice track indeed- very good samples, and while not the most unique take on a well-loved theme, there is a very high level of execution on display. Not my favorite source, but this is one of the better versions of it on the site. Quote
swansdown Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Beautifully peaceful mix. Listen to this when you need time to relax. Quote
