Ginnsu Posted May 20, 2002 Share Posted May 20, 2002 Final Fantasy VIII 'Breezy Beats' I just love this bass line, the piano, and the soft choir in this mix. I know a lot of people prefer to stay away from the techno stuff with 303’s and such, but for me, this is where it’s at. All you people can throw a book at me if you want to but my message for Orkybash will always be "This is lovely, keep up the good work." And for all you people who do dig the techno thing: One word! "Download!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalcrush Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Its nice... The soft breezy music with some funky techno. Its nice.. Its makes you very sleepy (for me). Love the song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landon Posted October 7, 2002 Share Posted October 7, 2002 How someone could take such a boring song as Breezy and turn it into something so nifty is beyond me. Faster tempo than the original Breezy, with neato angelic chorus sound in the back and a cool little robotic "wah" sound. Hands down my favorite FF8 remix. Grats! 9.5 out of 10.

Asterin Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Despite the fact that the piece is very similar to the original, I love the smooth digital rhythm added into the background. It really makes the music come to life, although it manages to remain calm and pieceful. This is definitely one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unknowndragon Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 This remix is just awesome. It reminds me a lot about the game. Strangly, listening to this song kinda makes me want to go back and play the game over again, for the 17th time...*sigh* I'll tell you one thing though, the song recaptures how peaceful some of the towns are in final fantasy 8...

tuxdux_the_great Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 This song is awsome! Captures the song of the game, while making it more upbeat. Its about time this song gets remixed (especially since its from the best FF game ever!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryudo_of_Destiny Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 This game really captures the tone of FF8. How a song like Breezy became a song I would like to listen in amazing. This is really well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frodo Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 I loved the original but Orkybash makes it sound a thousands times better. Excellent work on this remix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorJorMogBoi Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I like it! It's calm, but it's also techno, how did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Emmit Brown Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Sure this is a nice remix, but I have listened to it too often. It kind of wears you down after a few listens because it's so repettative, and doesn't have any interesting twists after the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I like those chimes you have together with that guitarsynth, which by the way sounds suspiciously similiar to he original. Orky gives us what the name says, a chill remix of our breezy little FF8track with some cool beats to it, and at the same time throwed in some anti-stress instruments, those strings was beautiful. Orkydude, nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Overall a pretty good remix that changes it up just enough to be different from the original, but it seems like it played it pretty safe. The pads are nice, the bass gets a little repetitive, and the beats are nice. The guitar sounds almost exactly as it did in game which is +1 for nostalgia, -1 for taking the song to the next level. Enjoyable and relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Tranquil and danceable at the same time? I consider that a rare combination. I can't remember the original source, but I definately like what I hear here. Sure, it starts running on its own fumes somewhere in the last half, but the main thing is that it makes it to its destination. Personally, I thought the recipe of the breathy pads, the piano and the Blast Corps-ish bassline was such a treat, I could have listened to it a lot more. But in terms of the mix itself, it's probably best it ends when it does. This is a bit of a favourite of mine in terms of understated, harmless mixes.

Liontamer Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Oh wow, yeah, I remember hearing this back in 2002 when first learning of OCR. The warbly beat was low-key yet attention grabbing, and I was surprised at how this relaxing take on "Breezy" paired with the warbles. Cool stuff by Tim that demonstrated the appeal of a community like this back in the day. Smoove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
