Vash the Stampede Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 BAD ASS! Very ethnic, yet very cool sound. And while I'm usually not a big fan of vocals in my ReMixs, these are quite tight. Kudos for a kick ass mix! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProjectSpam Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 ...That was the most freaking fast direct post in human history. Yeah... 9 days since Star unveiled the song on his website, and it's here... and rightfully so, as it's honestly one of the best songs I've ever heard.

Hawke Edge Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Several obsceneties of surprise come to mind when I listen to this - and I mean that in a good way. Without reading the introduction/summary of it, I was quite surprised when I heard the vocals within the song, and how it still flowed despite them. Absolutely incredible, even if it does have a religious overtone to it. (Sorry, hardly Christian here.) BLAHMASTER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 The lyrics are Arabic and Hebrew... Hardly Christian. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRus Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 This one really caught my attention, being of the Indian persuassion myself, I do enjoy a good ethnic mix, and star succesfully represented the traditional Indian flavor through his media in a manner rivaled only by Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, both being excellent works of art in their own rite. Star, thanks for this exotic and satisfying work of art, you've got the voice of OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leena fighter Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Dear Star Salzman: If you continue to make the greatest remixes I've ever heard, and refuse to make one single song that I don't obsess over for days at a time, I'm going to have to hunt you down and eat your brains. Yours truly, -Leena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Xyco Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 What amazing work. While not being familiar with the original(s) myself, I am very impressed with what is obviously a very inspired piece. It blends so many genres of music together so tightly that it creates it's own type of sound, without restricting itself to the progressions of any other type of music. The vocals are awesome, simply amazing work. I don't exactly know what Star Salzman was trying to accomplish with this ReMix, but whatever it was, it worked out very, very well.

Myid Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Myself being a HUGE Xenogears fan, I love every piece that anyone will make from the game. This piece by far beats all the others, even the broken mirror reflection by Alexander Prievert which until now, was my favorite from Xenogears. Awesome job with the lyrics and the tieing of both themes. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawke Edge Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I knew I wasn't the only one who thought it was Hebrew! Although with my post count, I can easily blame it on being new..... *walks away whistling* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDisguise Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Wow. This truly blows the bar away. Truly. So... wow. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectSpam Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 N.B: By the way I have to note that the lyrics aren't Arabic (From what I could hear, as Arabic is my native language), it's more Hebrew than Arabic, although I'll re-listen to it another time later to be sure (The music mostly overshadows the lyrics). The first part is in Arabic, and then the rest of the song is in Hebrew. (According to the lyrics Star has on his website, starblast.org) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaGi_TekK Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Bwahahahah another 11/10 for Star, who I actually know in real life, and who actually is a genius. Anyhoo, I gotta go watch ninja turtles.

watkinzez Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wow. This wouldn't sound out of place in the next Prince of Persia game. It sounds that professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Ever since this came out on your site, Star, I've been listening to it, and enjoying it. Excellent stuff, definitly worthy of a speedy direct post. 100/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belthesar Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wow. The utter symbiosis of both songs, the ethnic-yet-electronic instrumentation, and even the religious light of the song, which Xenogears is extremely involved with, makes this song a perfect representation of Xenogears. If you've never played the game, listen to this song. If you like it, play the game. This song is, however, only the next evolution in Star's ability. As we've seen that when he started using vocals in IncredibleSingingRobot, this is a new level in OCRemixing. This being his third song on OCR to feature vocals, it's only logical that he's gotten better. What's awesome is that the words seem only to convey a more accurate feel... or theme, and less of the text refference, although we know from what he's chosen that the text does have meaning. Star, once again another quality piece. Well done. What's next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Wow. This wouldn't sound out of place in the next Prince of Persia game. It sounds that professional. Yes ,just so. This is a great inspiration for a modern arabic-themed videogame. Thumbs Up for SS for making me think more about the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annoxus Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 This is some amazing stuff here from Star... TRULY EPIC. A -MUST- DOWNLOAD. Unreal... Superb work, 10/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitamin_K Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 People talk about Star having a big ego, but man, if you ask me, he can back it up, and this is a damn good example. Excellent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brim Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 This song is great, I never heard the original before but its still good. The lyrics are believable and GREAT, they could have easily been out of place and corny. A unique song that shall stay on my playlist forever.

Shhteve Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Oh, damn, wow. I wasn't expecting such an ethnic masterful work, then again, I wasn't expecting lyrics at all. This is seriously awesome, putting two really awesome tracks together like this.. Just.. Wow. I think I'm speechless. Star Salzman, you've done an outstanding job on this. You really got the accent down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
