Ginnsu Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 Seiken Densetsu 3 'Angels on the Shore' This is a very sweet moving melody, nice soft ambiance, and a lovely wind instrument. This one really makes me wish I could play the game because the way it sounds, there must be a deep story line behind this somewhere. If you like slow melodies then this one is probably for you, a good break from the fast paced electronic stuff. Thank you for this Ailsean. Quote
Lord_Nehula Posted August 9, 2002 Posted August 9, 2002 Aye, very good remix, BUT WHERE THE HELL HAS AILSEAN GONE!?!?!?!?!?!?!? VGMix, I assume? Damn, now i have to page my way through all the crap there just to find it! Quote
Newfie Posted December 17, 2002 Posted December 17, 2002 Heh, I myself am a big fan of the original, and when I saw it here on OC, I said " Hell, why not!" So I gathered my courage and clicked the link with all my might, and thus downloaded it.. Now I think this has a good theme to it.. It actually makes you relax, and makes you think there are Angels on the shore. This is a great song and I think alot of people that visit OC, should just stop for a couple of minutes and listen to this.. Quote
Golbez Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 Ok... I'm a secret fan of Ailsean and SD and this tune is great.. something different from the usual stuff. Quote
Dark Heart Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Hm...at first I thought it was just gonna be the same sound of the SoM theme with the percussion over and over again. But as soon as the flute came in I stayed around to listen and ... I think this is good song... Quote
DarkFrog Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 This piece of music reminded me of some fond moments with my ex-girlfriend. Thank you. -Austin Spafford Quote
AquaBreaker Posted May 21, 2004 Posted May 21, 2004 This was a very beautiful piece. It actually made me cry, because it reminded me of some very beautiful, peaceful times in my life. I joined here just so I could comment on this wonderful piece of music. I hope that you make more wonderful pieces like this. Thank you very much. Quote
Another Word Awaits Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 The title of this song reminds me of the angel statues in the game. When I hear this song, I think of those statues of the Mana Goddess, which watch over the seashores. This mix conjures up both fond memories of the game, and fond memories of my own life. Thus, this mix succeeds as both an arrangement, and a piece in its own right. Quote
glowingshark Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 this is a top-notch remix, however...it seems to end rather suddenly...cutting off in the middle of a section rather than fading away in some fashion, i'm wondering if this is some issue with my download or if that's just the way the song is?

jordex Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 this is quite the beautiful piece even when ailsean's not playing his guitar driving pieces, his songs are still insanely creative and impressive high-quality entertaining stuff right here, reminds me of tidal sequence kudos Quote
Angelus Laminarum Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 Wow... absolutely beautiful... Excellent job, Ailsean. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 WTF? An Ailsean mix without guitars? AND IT STILL KICKS ASS! Quote
Bummer Posted September 9, 2005 Posted September 9, 2005 Nice remix. It has a very soothing feeling through the whole song, I´m feeling so relaxed, good thing you try new stuff. Keep going and goodnight...zzzzzz Quote
OceansAndrew Posted February 5, 2008 Posted February 5, 2008 This is one of my favorite tracks from the soundtrack and Ailsean improves on it in just about every way. The piano fills out the space well, and accompanying the vibes melody are some peaceful synth gated washes. The soft white noise (ocean waves I can only assume) that came in with the flute was a great touch and improves the mood even more, as well as the choir. My one complaint would be that it would sound a bit better if it was lighter on it's feet, so to speak. Less low-mids and more high-mids. Very subjective, I know, but if you don't like my ideas, write your own review. As far as interpretation, there isn't much; it sticks to the source very closely, but I think it expands decently enough on the original to bring something new. Quote
Marmiduke Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 A pretty nice runthrough of a well-crafted tune. There's a sense of straightforwardness, especially when compared to Nigel Simmons' "Return to Elysian Lands", however, that comparison isn't really legitimate as they are seperated by years of technological and judging advancements. In any matter, there is plenty of great touches here. I really love the woodwind sound. It carries and makes the mix for me. The choir too is more than acceptable and gives the mix a punch in the arm for its final leg. And it was disguised enough to not sound fake, which is the signs of a lot of attention and well-realised effort. Simple, not a lot of boundary-breaking, and it definately is a black sheep amongst Ailsean mixes. But it's likable, which is the main thing, right? Quote
Liontamer Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 The timing's noticeably stiff, so it shows its age in that respect, but the overall sound is very solid nonetheless. A conservative arrangement with a more ambient, mellow approach that makes for a nice, relaxing listen. Quote
