Darth Magus Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 That man could play the keys off of a piano. I've been listening to a lot of his tracks lately... so amazing, so talented. He was multi-talented at so many different things... still a tragic loss to this day. His song with pixietricks off of Chrono Symphonic is probably my favorite. Chrono Trigger bias aside, it's emotional and beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDragonSoul Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 yes, i too have been listening to his work of art and surely do miss his work. i love listening to the one with him and pixietricks and i also enjoy his work for Final Fantasy VII - Cosmo Canyon.

prophetik music Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 He died in a boating accident a few years ago. several years ago, wasn't it? it's been like three and a half years now, right? cosmo canyon is one of my favorite tracks from FF7, and his remix of it is one of the best. the pixiekee song is awesome, as well.

Poke'G Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I was living in Nagoya when it happened, so I think it was late 2007. I want to say November. So yeah, almost three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperion5182 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 One of a kind talent. I cried when this happened =( This still disappointments me. Hope you're doing well up there Kee. You're missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Yeah, I was really shocked when I heard the news a few weeks after it happened. I used to visit his site a lot. I think they've taken down a lot of the music now, sadly. It was pretty incredible stuff. Hard to listen to it now, without feeling bad. Especially the one where his sister sings with him.

Liontamer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I think they've taken down a lot of the music now, sadly. FYI, that's absolutely incorrect. Everything has been and still is available. http://www.reubenkee.com, at the Pathos site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilecat Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 This is so fucking weird, 2 days ago i was thinking about him and now i see this thread? O_O I didn't talk about it with anyone either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnsalot Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Reuben Kee has always been one of my favorite remixers. I can't believe he's already been gone for ~3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike911 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Reuben Kee has always been one of my favorite remixers. I can't believe he's already been gone for ~3 years. Oh my God, has it been that long? So very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutericator Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 This is so fucking weird, 2 days ago i was thinking about him and now i see this thread?

NegimaSonic Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I can't believe it. I haven't come across a lot of his work but I absolutely loved "Ascension to Cosmo Canyon". And I listened to Medley from Naruto on loop for hours as I tried to finish my English papers before the end of the school semester last spring. It was great calming music that kept me focused while the pressure kept piling up. Those songs were amazing and this is a sad loss because I know he would've done more.

Brandon Strader Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 It is incredibly sad. I like how available music is today, and most art forms. So even after you're gone, people still have something to hold on to and remember you with. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFusion Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Wow, feels like yesterday since I heard that terrible news. His music sounds all the more touching and moving now that he's passed away. R.I.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaliree Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 When I first listened to Reuben's music in 2004 (or maybe 2005?) I found that I actually forgot to breathe. His music was quite literally breathtaking for me. Such a wonderful talent that is no longer in this world. @Liontamer: Reuben's web site is still up, but his music is no longer available. You can purchase the "To Speak" soundtrack on CD, but all of the links in the music section of his site are now inactive. I haven't been able to find anything other than the remixes here and a few scattered over some forums. Does anyone have Reuben's entire collection? I really miss his music and I would like to download it all again if I could. R.I.P. Reuben. You were a hidden gem, glowing brightly in the depths of an electronic ocean of melody and song.

The Derrit Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 i remember when i saw the thread, and then i went back to itunes and his metal gear solid mix was playing. it was spooky the man made great songs no doubt about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I love Reuben's music. Assention to cosmo canyon is a true work of art. I dont know if many of you have heard his Lifestream Overture. Look it up if you havent, its really great. I actually used a part of it in an FF7 audiobook with a dedication to Reuben at the end. http://thelifestream.net/final-fantasy-vii/6377/tls-presents-%E2%80%9Cthe-case-of-lifestream%E2%80%9D-audiobook/ I just wish i got to know him. When I read about him here or the mugen community, his talent and generosity always shine through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
