jordex Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Manoria Cathedral from 600 AD. I also used Wind Scene (the overworld music 600 AD). Thanks!

blunai Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm an absolute bell lover, and DarkeSword has perfectly met my tastes. A perfect blend of bells and guitar make this piece have its own flair and spice but at the same time sticking true to the original melody. Added to the mixing pot are short chorus chords. I love this song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_Demon Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Eh. It's nice and soothing, but it's not really for me. But unless I REALLY hate it, its going into my playlist. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichitootah Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I don't know why I haven't written a review for this song for this long. It's just beautiful. I've never even played Chrono Trigger, and it still struck me as a great piece. This is really one of the songs that inspired me to keep going with my music, in hopes that one day I could make something like this. Definitely a keeper, and one of my favorites for sure.

Bummer Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 How did I manage to actually not download this one, it´s superb! Shariq has slowed down the tempo on the cathedral theme and made it cooperate with a cool choir that sometimes shows up and say: haaaaaa, very nice. And the piano, DUDE the piano. It´s beautiful, I like it , no, I love it. The whole first part is only the cathedral theme, and then the wind comes blowing in on guitar, DUDE!! Darkesword, you takes the prize.

ResEvil07 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Using a light techno percussion set with a soothing and melodious orchestra Darkesword gives a wonderful new feel to the piece. Most of the melody comes from either strings or a piano, both of which are beautiful. When the choral hits some in they at emphasis to the downbeat. The amibient guitar then comes in almost giving an island feel to the song. A very good job in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shenroc Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I for one approve of this mix. It's been one of my faves for the longest time. 9.2/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quine Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I absolutely love Darkesword's ability to smoothly introduce instruments to a song. Mysterious and haunting intro (loving the tubular bells). Then the piano comes in, and I am instantly addicted to 4/4 Manoria Cathedral. At 0:50, the break builds just the right amount of tension. Just enough so that it's nearly unbearable, which makes the following "aah" from the choir ever more so...indescribably intense. Flutey arpeggios that begin to play above the piano get passed back and forth between the two ears, and that's my favorite bit from this song. They almost make me want to sob in utter bliss. The last one that leaves the song hanging again leads into Wind Scene, which I really don't have much to talk about until 1:48, when the piano comes in with a high echoing rendition of Manoria Cathedral that bounces between the two ears. Another moment of tension, then everything comes together for a climax. Wonderful guitar melody that counters the piano. More choir and flute love. The end is bittersweet and leaves me begging for more, but I think the end comes at the right time. A longer song might mean repetitive material, and that's what playing songs again is for. Brilliant, this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ely_chan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It is very beautiful ... does not seem that is mixed together with Manori cathedral but if we listen well yes, I congratulate you on this song, keep well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Simply, DarkeSword knows how to put a song together. And by that I mean, he knows how to structure a song really well to display restraint and also hit the sweet spots of the melodies. By no means is this mix structurally fresh or risky; it is really quite conservative in that regard. But what is built within is what really counts. The interweaving of the two melodies in the center of the piece is handled well, I thought. I'm undecided on whether or not that element could have been expanded upon. The idea could quickly grow stale if repeated, however I do think the mix is over too quickly without wringing enough juice from the material. As it stands, Wind Scene achieves a cameo appearance in the piece, whereas it might have served better as a more solid foundation to the main melody. Regardless, what's here is bright, tranquil and cruisy all at once and seems to really stick with you after a few listens. I'm a fan.

OceansAndrew Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good percussion and a smoothed out feel make this a pretty good track. The melodiesd work together, there is some nice counterwriting, and the transitions are solid. This is a light and breezy take on the theme, and it really fits the fun atmosphere of the game. Nice work, I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audity Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Somehow, just now is the most this arrangement has spoken to me. The only real downside is the ending, which doesn't add anything new compared to the playful melodic nature of the rest. Quite nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
