Fallen Angel Posted October 7, 2004 Posted October 7, 2004 Sweet a tab, I can actually play those with a little practice. I will have to give it a try sometime and see how it sounds because being able to play any song from CT is a good thing lol. Quote
Thornless Rose Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 i was really excited to see that this was finally excepted. though there are a few minor flaws to the piece, it is definitely better than a lot of the OCRemixes. Quote
Samurai Jin Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 This is a truly excellecent mix, the judges's panel did a good thing by making Neil resubmit his work. On a side note: My uncle passed away on Friday evening, and hearing this song makes me recall the memories I've had with him. As mentioned before the strings bring back memories of those Far Away times. 9/10, didnt like the ending, felt it dragged on a little much, other than that completely solid. Quote
nobodygetshurt Posted October 24, 2004 Posted October 24, 2004 sorry for being so late about this, but i've finally put up a partial tab sheet for this song. i didn't tab everything (only the first half of the song), but if you can play what i've tabbed, i'm sure you can figure out the rest on your own. you can find it at my website linked below, or you can just go here: http://www.s93850634.onlinehome.us/ct_tab.htm final_oblivion - i'm sorry to hear about your uncle's passing away, but i'm glad that you can find some comfort in my song. thanks for all the enthusiasm and compliments, you guys. it's really overwhelming to know that your work is liked by many. thanks again.

esden9 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 This remix really moves. I've woken up to it a number of times and just thought "damn..today is gonna be a fine day". I love the original track in game but this just gives it new meaning and new life. Quote
Mighty Gazelle Posted November 3, 2004 Posted November 3, 2004 If you had as much issues with your panel of judges as is suggested in your review of this mix than I suggest you ditch the panel because they don't recognize good music. Most of the Chrono Trigger remixes on this site are awful, this is one of the few exceptions. Yet somehow it almost doesn't even make it to the site... something is wrong with your system of evaluating submissions. This tune is a refreshingly serene interpretation of a great Chrono Trigger theme and feels more like a "real song" than most oc remixes. Quote
BlueMage Posted November 10, 2004 Posted November 10, 2004 Accoustics convey feeling through simplicity, and if anything was able to make me want to learn how to play an acoustic guitar, it'd be this remix. It's one remix staying on my CD for a long time. Quote
Don-Don Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 this is amazing, my new all time favorite song Quote
AngrySquirrel Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I've been listening to this for awhile, it's really an emotional piece that brings out something each day. Quote
someone1977 Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Neil: Just want to let you know that this is an incredible piece for me.. No matter how often I hear it. Always get teary eyed when I listen to it.. Lots of emotion into that song! Thanks and hoping to hear more you! Quote
nobodygetshurt Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 christ, i never would thought that this song would get this much of a reaction from people. i'm really really glad you guys like it. i'm currently working on a few other songs (whenever i get some time to myself, which isn't often). i have more music at my website, if anybody's interested. mostly original vocal songs. also as a reminder, i've put up a partial tab of 'far away memories' at my website, for all those people who asked me for it. you'll be hearing from me again. . .

bladiator Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 I burnt a CD with remix music on it for my car, and I almost always zip ahead to this song on the CD. Man, this was great. I even sing along to it. O_o (Harmony of course.) You did an awesome job here. Although the ending is REALLY quiet, and I love the ending chord progression, so I have to crank it way up to hear it, then remember to crank it down quick so I can save my eardrums/speakers. Quote
BBB Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 wow, and i thought the original brought a tear to my eye... this is my new favourite remix. Quote
AboveTheDust Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 I have a mix going of my favorite music off of OCRemix. This song just joined the select few "beautiful" songs on that list. Wonderful job. And this is my first post. This was the song that pushed me over the edge and was just dying to be commented on. Good job. -Dust Quote
Djsquex Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 This version of this song is the greatest ever! so peaceful, soft and i love it! hopes more in this style will be uploade to this site soon. Squaresoft Music4ever! Quote
SilentMartyr Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I never come down here to give regards to remixers, but this song is just so damn emotional that I have to. From the second I heard this I knew it was going to be my favorite. I wanna take up guitar just so I can play this song. I would really like to see Neil do a similar style rendition of Peaceful Days, that would make my life. Quote
KelVarnsen Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 The original was one of the most powerful songs from a video game that I've ever experienced... I've always had a great emotional response to that song. And I really like this version. The strings could be better, but I agree with what many others have said... it has soul. This piece brings out the emotion in the song and also adds a different sort of feeling of its own to the original, which works well, I think. I wish more people would do this song. For now, Neil's work will satisfy me. Quote
Fieari Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I may or may not have reviewed this piece before, but I need to come back and do it again. I have been listening to this a LOT recently. The segment at 4:24... brilliance. Mixing the two patterns together like that, each instrument REALLY repeating without changing anything, and yet on each repeat there's a different emphasis due to the way they layer and combine... Brilliant. I wish I heard that kind of pattern used more often. It's so neat! Quote
DJ Magotrox Brazil Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Wow! As an acoustic guittar player, I´m suspect to say, c´os I like acoustic music versions, of course!!! Good News!!! Very beautiful acoustic version. Very impressive! A good one, and a "need to hear" remix, mainly for Chrono Trigger Fans. The musician shows a lot of sensibility, a great shot. Bad News Fist thing to say, it´s the mix is "very", VERY good. These badies are just for "perfectionism". I think the "instruments volume mixing" can be made better, and, as the musican seems not to be a drummer, the same goes to the percussion arrangment. But maybe it´s just a question of taste, as I always say... But the beginning was very, very nice. At all... I hope some day guys like you make, soon, part of the game music industry. You have talent... A great remix. Quote
Deathaven Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 One of the best oc remix's ive heard. Its up there in my top 5 of oc remix tunes. Dude you should feel happy with this coz its one of those wonderfull songs you not to often. Quote
Bummer Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 This is sooooooooooo beautiful. I never thought that anyone would make a version that actually is exactly as good as the original, but now someone did, and he did with acoustic guitar! This is marvelous! I´m so happy I could faint! But before that, I just wanna say that Neil rocks and that I lov... Quote
ThePieEater Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 wow, this song is wonderful. i joined the forums for the sole purpose of to reply to this song. its wonderful. Quote
GregCaldwell Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I can't even find the right words to describe this piece of music. It has this memorizing sense of peacfulness and calmarity about it. This remix doesn't change its sound or pace much. But for that, im very glad. It doesn't make perfect sense that something rather simple and mildly repetitive is SO amazing. This remix is on a level of its own. Quote
Zero_ Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 ... Wow. How could I have missed this one? I think this remix is really beautiful, it's a fresh change from all the rock and techno on this site, and I love it. I hope you do more remixes with the beautiful acoustic guitar. Quote
ragnarqk Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I love it, I really do. Yes, the drums are a bit bright, but saying it makes the mix bad is like saying you won't drive a car unless it has leather seats. It's important to remember that mixes aren't a competition to see who's the best, it's about the expression of a person's musical taste and abilities. But I'm preaching to the choir. Quote
