mv Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Wow...just wow... You know a song of this calibur has reached said calibur when it is played at a chinese resturant. I kid you not. I was eating my general tso's when I heard the very familiar theme to Wu Tai...chopsticks fell. Mouth agape, I realized what it was and came to the conclusion that i must have it. I talked to the manager and said his son got it off of here. I mean, how is that not awesome? hahah man that's the best. fun/cool story to wake up to. Anyway glad that you heard/enjoyed it man Thanks for telling about how you found it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ventrex Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 A beautiful piece. Am I the only big fan of the mixes in which the original songs are difficult to discern? I think this is one of the best examples of that style of mix on OCR. A far better sounding piece of music than the two originals--both some of my favorite tunes in the games themselves. I'm kind of reminded of Jia Peng Fang here more than any particular soundtrack, but at the same time not really. It's more that I have so little exposure to Chinese folk music that, upon hearing any vaguely oriental-folk sounding song, I think immediately of Fang. Well, whatever the case, I mean that as a high compliment without implying that the style is borrowed or anything. Again, a beautiful song (with an amazingly awesome tale of intrigue and oriental restaurants to go along with it!). Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeOmega Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 That's a cool restaurant story. Reminds me of one not as cool, so I won't tell it. Lets just say it had sushi and and the perfect beginning to a great evening. I can't believe I forgot to post here and say how much I really like this one, I enjoy it every time I hear it, and I must have aready listened to it 200 times.

3rdeye Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Very touching work. I felt extremely moved from 2:10+ on the metric change, it really grabbed me there. What I really liked about it and what strucked me as kinda strange is that although the harmonic changes aren't new (I-VII-VI-VII-I in minor) they didn't sound old. I think this freshness is further enlarged by the instrumentation...and lest we forget 6/8. The articulation is marvelous and most of the lines sounded felt. Very inspiring.

Bummer Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 This is clearly an impovement of the original, and the idea to use it together with Schala´s theme was super. Arigato mv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkmetamorphasis Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I thought this was really well done. The whole melody went smoothly and the transition to Schala's theme fused with Wutai really really good! Normally I'd hear problems with songs like this, but I dont have any complaints about it!

DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 This mix is really great and I enjoy all of mv's pieces but, for some reason or another, the song transition bothers me. It blends together so well and then, all the sudden, the accompaniment for Schala's theme changes instruments at 3:14. Why does this bug me so? I don't know... I guess it just sounds like, "If you couldn't tell this was a mix of two seperate songs before, now you'll be able to tell." Don't get me wrong, the song is absolutely beautiful aside from that. That part just makes me cringe for a good 5-10 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpeterz63 Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Great remix. Very well put together. True to the original without feeling forced. Good attention to details with the string plucking in the background. This isn't one of my favorite remixes of all time but that's probably got to do with the fact that the original tune was not one of my favorite themes in FF7 more than it has to do with the actual remix at all. I can't really think of any real critisms except that it's not on my all time favorite list. Very solid 4/5 sporks, perhaps even as high as a 4.5/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Love_OC_ReMixes Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 this mix is so AWESOME! and it sounds really authentic to the Eastern culture. And DJ Skratch 'n' Sniff, I like that Schala's theme there, it really compliments the overall 'feel' of this Wutai mix. wow Time Chill, Sensual Ippon and this?? god damn mv is a rare talent.

Don't get me wrong, I love Schala's theme; the song change was just a bit unsettling to me. I think they'd be better off is two seperate mixes is all.

Nario Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 This song is just simply amazing. I'm at a lack of words at describing how beautiful and natural this song is. Well done!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascendancy Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 good choice of instruments, production is pretty good for its time, i really like your interpretation on this and i would never expect schala's theme to work so well with wutai's theme, overall i would give this 8.5/10 goddd i miss these kinds of mixes...

OceansAndrew Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 The 6:30 gets a little lengthy, but as a mood piece this definitely does the job. I liked the serne flow and the different layers of ethnic instruments. The transitions were decent, and I wasn't as bothered as some by the inclusion of Schala. Overall a pretty decent mix.

FallenOne Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 This is going to be one of those tracks that I put on my "Time to crash" list. I'm not sure I could properly distinguish between what would actualy be considered a 'sample' (whatever that is, I'm no compositional expert) but that's beside the point. I felt very strong emotion from this mix and was very pleased with it's fluidity. BTW, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fits this very well.

Executor Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 When listening to the original Schala's Theme, I can't help but wonder about the drum beat and how it can be remixed. After hearing this high quality remix, it's clear to me that there is a good resemblance to an asian style throughout Schala's Theme. I would love to hear the incorporation of "People of the North Pole" from Final Fantasy X and Schala's Theme, and this remix has come the closest to doing that.

Eino Keskitalo Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I love the sound. It's a little scratchy, which contributes to a sort of an intimate feel. Kind of a chamber music/acoustic session thing. The low strings and some other stuff do sound larger, but do not detract from the mood. I really liked the shift midway in tempo and mood and enjoyed the free/floating rhythm of the piece in general. --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
