Mongoosedog Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Darke Sword, this song inspired me while I was designing a signiture for my friend on a message board (his username is Maverick Hunter Zero) and I was so satisfied with the results that I thought I should thank you for making such an awesome song! I mean, just look at the end result after setting "Stranger in the Desert" on loop and going to town in photoshop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnesia Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Piano panned through both channels sound interesting and fit very well in all parts of the music. The flute play so emotionally that makes me feel stranger when I heard the melody. There is no better word for the title, my only restriction is that it must be in the plural, because there are many strangers in the desert. I hope someday I learn to play woodwinds like the judges here. The piano fade out need no commentaries, pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I3lack Templar Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Actually it's "For Endless Fight II." My Mistake. You know, This Mix Makes for a Great Ending credits. Like for the up and comming Zero 4? Probably too late for that though. Oh well. The Timeings for the Transitions (Especialy How the Tempo gets a Juiceing in 2:52) are spot on.

Bladewind Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 You got me man. I love piano anything like this (I kinda have an appreciation for it BC I play it.) I have added it to a CD along with ZeroSky and StringMachine. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbynob Littlun Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Very emotive, your best yet in my opinion Darkesword It sounds like something I would hear at the climax of a good anime, movie, or game that would make me completely forget about anything but the song.

This isn't really a request board. Also, don't search for Stranger in the Desert; search for Departure from Rockman Zero 2. That's enough posting about where you can get the original, okay? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipp Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Darke, I'm a big fan. I have to say this one of my favorites from you. I hear a lot of different pieces in here, including, as Pretz pointed out, Metal Gear Solid and Aquatic Ambience. But the piano is all you, and it's beatiful. THANK YOU SO MUCH for staying low on the drums, I was afraid that they might come in heavy at some point and disrupt the flow. Not much in terms of suggestion. There are two ways that I know once I've listened to something that it has reached perfection in my ears (cause does it ever reach perfection in the artist's ears?). One is that I will need at once to go play the piano and do an improvised remix. Another is that I suddenly feel I have to go play the game again. Your piece did both. Listening to it as I write this, and still loving it. Zipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. GSF Central - Megaman Zero 2 soundtrackI originally thought the track you were covering was Awakening World, but you're more or less right, it is Departure (Intro Stage), either works. As for the mix itself, one of the best mixes in recent memory for me, and my favourite Darkesword mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyHead79 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Very nice, especially for the first remix of the MM Zero series. Emotional yet relaxing, and I love the brief energetic part around 2:50. What frustrated me was that this is one of those tunes that you should be able to completely lose yourself in if you close your eyes, but it seems like most of the times the tune really seems to be building to something, it suddenly goes all quiet again. Still, while it could have used some improvements here and there, it was quite enjoyable in the end. Thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 My first thought was that it sounded like the underwater theme in DKC. But then again, it was only a slight piano prelude, but it didn't make me think of a desert anyway. But let's get back to the subject, I'm a complete loser for piano remixes, this one must be one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. It isn't two-handed, but those bright tunes just make me melt, like a scorching desert. HEY, I can make the connection now! Then there's also a lovely flute (which I happen to also to be a loser for, but not completely), and it puts that lonely mark on this remix. This is about a stranger, nowhere to go with only his cape and a bottle of water as company. The flute puts the dot above the i, making this a definite download for all those who has a keen ear for piano and flute arrangements. What can I say? DarkeSword has done it once again.

zilver Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 This piece gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Maybe I like it so much just because I've played the game and feel the emotional impact of the song, I don't know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duo Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Everything about this piece is so good I don't know what to say. I got MMZ2 when it first came out and these two themes were clearly the best of the game (only a couple others are memorable...) and just love the entire feel and execution of the games intro. This takes it to an entire new level and although there are only 2 MMZ remixes, a song like this completely makes up for the lack of others. In a way, it fully encompasses what the Zero series is about, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shenkenstein Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I finally figured out what the quicker part in the middle (around 2:50-3:14) reminds me of: some of the soundtrack by Kawai Kenji to the anime Fate/stay Night. The melody is rather similar sounding, though it's been so long since I've played megaman--I don't remember most of the themes; so, it could just be that the composers wrote similar material. Either way, it is just so catchy (especially those 32nd notes on the piano) and is definitely one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Ooohhhh.....yes. Just yes. This is beautiful in the beginning to 2:15 with the piano and the wind instrument together. I have a soft spot for those wind instruments, and more so when played like this. Then it gets into the faster sounding beat and I can really see how others could compare this to soundtrack/anime/intrumental CD's. Right after that it seems to be slow and calm again, but with more of a purpose. Oh yeah, this could work in a soundtrack or anime really well. Darn, good work, man.

OceansAndrew Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The first half is very subdued but determined, and then it starts to pick up and get even more determined. The piano left hand started out a little out of character for what the song ended up being, but overall I really enjoyed this one. A single promise... A decisive battle... And time is running out... Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 This is beautiful. Such pain that comes along with this... I love listening to it... I just can't handle this too often. Zero's pain is open bare for all to see. I know this remix is for Zero and not X, but I can almost feel X's sorrow as well. ... erm, maybe I'm getting a bit too emotional feely here Darkesword did a tremendous job with this mix. I only hope listening to it time after time with tweak didn't make him sad, as it would me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Another fantastic mix I can't believe has as few reviews as it does! I've had this on my player for a while but could never remember the name afterwards. Great mix for getting through tough times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 How I never got around to reviewing this masterpiece is beyond me. Probably one of my favorite mixes on the site; the mood and evolution is stellar. The tempo shift is great and when the beat comes alive... gorgeous. The flute is perfect. No complaints, an amazing remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
