The Link Freak Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 As a four-year guitar player... AWESOME SHIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoWang Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 As a 4-year guitarist, I'm going to have to totally rip on the lead playing. I thought it was pretty atrocious to be honest. Stacatto is one thing but this just sounds like the player has no control over his instrument whatsoever. There is a complete absence of vibrato, sounds like the guy's never heard of the term "alternate picking", and feeling is totally lacking here. Believe me, 95% of the music I listen to is heavily guitar oriented and the playing (not to mention the tone/mixing) is just pretty bad and something you'd expect from somebody who's been playing for perhaps 4 months...

habnem Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 As a matter of fact, the guitarist had been playing for ten years when he recorded this song. Perhaps he meant the playing to sound simplistic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savikida Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 personaly i found this remix very good, mainly because it brought back memories (very nice ones) from my loved FFVII, i think that remixes wether (im not sure of the spelling of this) ``hard worked or simple´´ can be good or bad, it all depends on what they make you feel. (just personal opinnion ^^ anywayz congrats menhab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YuffieKisaragi Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 i definitely like the upbeat feeling that this has... it's a nice change from the slightly melancholy feeling that the Aeris theme usually has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Whether or not that guitar is real, it sounds awful. Not my type of piece at all. The percussions sounds like lots of clipping to me. Nah, I prefer the original. Who doesn´t, the original is a beautiful master piece. But that´s not the point. I got very excited when I heard it start, an acoustic remix! Good, very good, can´t get enuff about them, can we? I got a little disappointed when the electric guitar abruptly came into the scene, but after a while, I liked it, I really did. The drums are awesome, just as pretzeldude said, so crdit for him for pointin that out. And the choir that began in the back at 2:09, making this mix beautiful too, just like the original. Great mix, great arrangement, and a great desicion from MENBAH! for making this special version of our beloved Aeris. Kudos dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 This is one hell of a song it sounds Almost perfect i think the lead gituar is abit to Heavy for the background and the style of song and i think it would sound nice in acoustic gituar but never the less i give it 8.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Charming stuff. Love the buckets. The guitar is played choppily as hell, but it really makes me smile. It's so exposed, over-the-top loud and screechy and choppy it's good. That may or may not be what the musician was going for, but it works for me! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 So yeah, just listened to this on my foray through Eastern...err, I mean OCR1001-1250. The guitar tone is not something I've never heard, but what it is is really, really out of place over a background consisting of piano, acoustic guitar, bucket drums, and soft choir ahhs. Hearing it in this context, along with the choppiness, slight mistakes, and intonation issues, makes it sound more amateur (and frankly, obnoxious) than it perhaps would in a different situation. Honestly this is the kind of arrangement that would elicit outright laughter at a DoD listening party. Oh well, they can't all be winners.

lifelistling Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 The original is really beautiful, but this remix is pretty cool. I love the electric guitar here but the drumming just sounds a bit off to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I was feeling it until the lead guitar came in. Sorry dude, but i think Dhsu's comments are pretty spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docnano Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Unlike some others, I actually liked this remix! It's a little rough around the edges, perhaps the lead guitar is slightly too loud, but the style is unique (I can't say I've heard anything like it before!) and it's a decidedly new take on one of my favorite themes. I think the drums add a lot of character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
