Zero_ Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 This is an excellent remix. It heavily reminds me of that classical song; something to do with faeries. Quote
Akaroo Posted August 19, 2005 Posted August 19, 2005 What can I say? After listening to about a dozen okay/decent remixes I stubbled upon this, not expecting much and nearly joygasmed. Absolutely amazing work, zircon! The other songs in my favorites are going to be jealous. Quote
Bummer Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I like the careful bells in the beginning, and then the rest of the mix comes sneaking along with flutes and other nice instruments which leads to a very great remix and a content downloader. Quote
halc Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 zircon, you are amazing. your music never disappoints. sorry I don't have any specific comments... but I love the source to death and this mix does it JUSTICE Quote
cloudkitt Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 How the heck have missed this mix? It's really good. The percussion is fantastic. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted November 27, 2009 Posted November 27, 2009 Pretty rockin stuff, it does have a distinct Elfman style, and I think the constant changeups were good, and require a more active listening role. I do think a little more additional repetition of the themes to help solidify them would have been nice, but I certainly won't turn my nose up at this track. I really enjoyed the percussion and the overall feel of the track. The wild west transition was really well done, and felt very natural. It seems like Zircon has moved on a bit from the site, but I'm really glad he made so many great tracks while he was here. Recommended, check this one out. Quote
co298 Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I downloaded this song a while ago and I really enjoyed it and I wondered who made the track. Then I saw zircon made it and then I wondered no more. Solid mix and it really does feel like the Nightmare before Christmas! Quote
DarkSim Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Well I just finished downloading all of zircon's remixes yesterday as I realised I only had about half of them, so am working my way through them today. This one jumped out at me as being something a bit different, so I came to see if anyone else had noticed the MASSIVE reference to Edvard Grieg's In The Hall of the Mountain King (for other UK citizens - the "Alton Towers" music ). Apparently no-one has commented on that in nearly 6 years so I'll throw it out there. Was this in the back of your mind, zircon, as well as the Elfman influence? I haven't heard the source, so maybe it's already influenced by Grieg and you just took the source as it was, but certainly the building intro's similarity is uncanny! Totally love it though, it's such a complex piece and yet executed so well. I'm sure I'll be listening to this for years and still finding new things hidden within its rich textures. Also... that comment by mrjag must be one of the best reviews on this whole site! Quote
