analyticalchemist Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Great piano playing agreed, although whoever said that was right...a few spots seemed a bit muddy or something? Also in the vicinty of 3:40, the scalish part...the harmony sounded a bit unsophisticated, and the notes were like bashed together. But anyway, I still like it.

Xitiomet Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Definitly one of the most melodically beutiful pieces ive ever heard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schonste Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 I'm glad this piece finally went somewhere. It had a lot of potential and a lot of it was fulfilled--yet some parts of it sound not just muddy, but out of rhythm. While piano doesn't quite rely on that kind of rhythm totally, if there isn't any at all it starts to lose a lot of its tastiness. This DOES have a lot of tasty goodness in the middle, though, albeit it sounding rushed and just attempting to throw in some prelude-tastic flair under the actual Aeris theme. It's only semi-hard to swallow, though, and once you actually get used to it, it's really nice. Despite me beating on the mix, it's still great, and one of my favorites--something I listen to a lot.

Sirocco Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I almost cried with the subtle nuances in the playing. Bonus points to you, my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 This is one of my favorite melodies of all games I´ve played, and KL does a good job turning it into a pianoremix, which is one of my favorite instruments, so this can´t really be any better. It also became a good result combining the FFprelude with aeris theme, and the parts around 4:00 and forward really shows how you can turn it up faster. Thanks for reviving Aeris for us, Laudude.

YuffieKisaragi Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 The sweetness of Aeris' theme is only enhanced by the addition of the prelude passages. i'm in love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady zelda Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 What else can I say? This is amazing, the piano is just beautiful. It really captures the beauty from that BEAUTIFUL scene from the game. (I would go into detail, but I don't wanna go into any spoilers.) This is definitely material for a re-release of FFVII. It's the best done remix of Aeris's theme on the site I've heard so far. Keep these coming, okay?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychotic Ninja Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I really loved the piano playing in this song, and Aeris's theme was one of my favorites in the game. So good remixer + good theme + good piano = Great OC Remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maher Shalal Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Um, so this is the best piano remix on the site I've found so far. Remixer happen to write down the music for it? Can I have it? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter_Sullivan Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 gotta say, one of the best songs on the site. never liked aeris, she wasn't much of a good fighter, nor was she a good character. sure she had great personality, but the only things she really did to help the plot was to die. sorry to any fan's of her's for those comments. but one thing i can say about her. even though i didn't care much for her, i still weeped for her. and boy did i love her theme. and this remixer here has brought back all the good feelings that i got from her. warmth, sorrow with a hint of hope, love, and anything else. whilst listening to this song for the first time, i completly forgot any complaints i had about her as the charecter and focused on the good. well, i've rambled enough. overall, excellent, excellent song.

Kanthos Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Um, so this is the best piano remix on the site I've found so far. Remixer happen to write down the music for it? Can I have it? Please? Kevin did in fact create sheet music. Get it at his site, http://www.kevinlaumusic.com/. I don't know if Kevin will ever read this himself, but if you do, great work. You won't remember me, but I met you at a wedding shower in Pickering for Liz and Mark. I'm checking out more of your stuff on your site. Haven't had time to hear much yet (Liz only pointed your site out to me this evening), but I especially like the version of Eternal Harvest. Yes, I know it's a remake, but well done just the same.

BIGSTEVE Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 BIGSTEVE says this OC Remix is off the chain!!! Love it! I like beyond Midgar better, but this is still really good. It kind of calms you down if you listen to it when you're under stress! Bottom Line: It's Awesome. Download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerous Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 A hauntingly beautiful piece. Not many composers can catch the resonance and the soul of a song, let alone two of them. The majesty, the depth, the simple yet profound manner in which the piece comes across is pure brilliance. Then suddenly as if the power of the music is not enough to grip and stun you, the prelude passages knock you off your feet in a sublime "One, two" combination. My review does not do this piece justice, but one hopes that it accurately portrays my enthusiam. Thank you Kevin Lau for the gift of this music.

Majestic Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is absolutely beautiful, definitely the best version of all the various takes on this score. I am wondering if you have the score (music sheet) for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefirosu Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wow. Simply beautiful. I've always loved Aerith's Theme and this remix does it so much justice. It's one of the few songs I've heard that brings me to the verge of tears. This is brilliantly beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_heartilly_ Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 A wonderfully beautiful piano mix. It captures perfectly the character of Aerith, that scene from the game, the relationship, and the emotions that go along with it. It captures that beauty and sorrow at the same time wonderfully. The simplicity of just having the piano play is great, and is in no way 'too simple'. It's easy to go OTT with pieces sometimes, but the simplicity of this was good for conveying the emotions involved. Someone earlier said that it's good to relax you when under stress, and that is very true. But although that's a good practical use of the song, it's just enchanting to listen to. Well done. And I wish I could play piano this well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Besides the levels being a little low throughout, this is really well done. Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zarbit Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I absolutely love this mix. What you've actually done to Aeris' theme is excellent, and the playing is beautiful as well. The only things I would change are dynamics - I especially wanted more of a forte at the 2-minute mark - but overall a bit louder would be nice. Aside from that, truly amazing. Well done, sir.

Codamadius Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Beautiful piano piece. Final Fantasy VII was always easily one of my favorite games as well as the music that went along with it. I never get sick of the story or music, and I love how you brought Aeris back with a simple yet powerful piece. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
