What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Chris McGee]

Ah, excellent. I've heard this on DarkeSword's website, but it's great to see it posted here. Very smooth and relaxing remix. I especially love the drumwork, and the transitions between the two songs.

[Sandman53]

it's ok, i dont like it. but i dont dislike it. I do like how smooth it is

[jessthemullet]

I like it, but I am having trouble recognizing what the original songs were. I should know right off the top of my head, but I haven't played it for a few months. The flow of the piece is awesome. Good stuff.

[pixlz]

awesome in the beginning. when it was starting to lose my interest it ended. remix job though seeeemed very spoon.

think it'd be a nice track to loop and zone out to.

Manoria Cathedral and Wind Scene.

Oh. I remember hearing this in the wip forum and I really liked it. There are minor things I noticed: like I think you went a bit overboard with your reverb, there are some minor mixing things with volume that may or may not because of my speakers - the electronic piano seems a little too loud, and the choir stabs are a little unnverving but used sparingly enough not to be annoying.

When it gets to the guitar, I know you're trying hard to make it sound fairly realistic but it just ain't happening. You would've been better off just going with a different and more convincing sample.

The big problem I have here is the inclusion of 600 AD - it does create a few odd note conflicts that aren't entirely noticable, but it's mainly just not expanded upon enough. And it's really a shame that this never really builds up to anything; you achieved a really nice sound with the manora cathedral part at the beginning and end, but never really expand upon your ideas, just ending the mix how it started.

[ILLiterate]

Oh god im loving this song. Its sorta a mix that I can only explain as having a fast paced beat collide with medium paced piano & a slow background that makes 1 hell of a remix. Incredible work done and easily one of my favorite remixes on the site.

Final Score:10/10

Final Comment:Its like fast,medium & slow got together & made a kick ass remix

[Mr. Dillznick]

Wow even thouh i dont remember what song this is from and it ain't my favorite it just gave me that feeling again! That feeling I had when I finished CT for the 1st time! Great remix, very nice touch to it, keep it up you rock man!

[Sikkz]

wonderful! very relaxing and sweet to the ears. then again, how can you go wrong when remixing songs from Chrono Trigger's incredible soundtrack? Good job!

[Xatos]

My new favourite ct remix, rarely do i prefer the remix so much over the original..

I wish u could play the game with the remixes of this site:)

[Capn Foggy Dog]

Very calming. I highly enjoyed this re-mix and recomend it to anyone who is a fan of Chrono Trigger music or soft music for that matter. Good work, Cheers!

[Kaede_X]

Love this kinda stuff..

[damathacus]

I didn't really give this a fair shake before. So many remixes posted at once, I just listened to them all through once, and this one sorta slipped by me. But hey, this is awesome!

It's been awhile since there's been a really great Chrono Trigger tune. Good stuff, keep it up!

[100_PERCENT ROEMER]

Excellent! Smooth is the best word to describe it, and I like songs like that

GREAT WORK! Have a cookie

[SoUnDoLe]

One of Darkesworde's main criticisable features is lack of variety and the repeat of material that grows stagnant. This piece however has interest kept up all through it, and a very fresh feelas new parts are added or swapped. Clever instrumentation.

[Timaeus]

I rather enjoyed the chanting in this piece. It really made the song feel ancient in nature and fit well with a cathedral environment. I loved the transitions. The song is an awsome one, and should not be touched.

[RoeTaKa]

Sometime when I look at music I wonder if it could be used in the game itself. I could see this piece as being a sort of morale boost for inspiring your party to try and finish the evil, and thats what i like about this, or it could be a Frog piece for the game.

[Zergonaleash]

yo i like this one!

[Phycowolf]

Now this is a REMIX!!!! YEAH! I love it! It sounds so awesome with a perfect mix of fast pace beat and a slow relaxing tune that just forces me to give this remix a 10/10 yeah! It sounds so wonderful throughout. the beggining almost made me loose intrest...but 9 seconds into it...I was in remix heaven! awesome!

[dj muffin man]

easy to listen to like the voice it's quite slow but fast in some parts overal it's class

[kanchou]

it just ocurred to me after listening to this for an umpteenth time...

the Ahh ambience at the beginning after the percussion begins is a variation on the Chrono theme string intro.

It is?

If it is, its not intentional.

[Faluna]

I happen to love your remixes!

Can't wait to see and hear, what you come up with next!

[SirRus]

Weird that I haven't commented on this song, since it was the one that introduced me to OCR and led to me emailing Shariq to learn all that I could about the world of remixing.

Shariq - I sitll listen and love this song. I have lost myself for literally hours in the world you have created with this piece, and I will never tire of revisiting it. Just thought I would go ahead and throw my support for Shariq into the mix, as this is my favorite song by him.
