WillRock Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Well this is fucking amazing. bLiNd, Ashleigh James, I bow to your greatness. Quote
SuperiorX Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Wow! This is great! I love the style and vocal performance by Ashleigh! I was a big fan of the Wild Arms collab track you guys did awhile back as well. Speaking of, I can't wait for the entire Wild Arms remix album, it should be awesome. Quote
Liontamer Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Awwwww... Nice work, Jordan & Ashleigh! And more Hamauzu OC ReMixes are a GREAT thing! Quote
bLiNd Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Thanks again Larry and Dave for making dreams come true <3 Quote
SwordBreaker Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Good stuff as usual. Really faithful to the source track in terms of sound, but mixing it up with more of everything. I like the added vocals, which sound just like the material in the original track (huge props for the singer). Of course, the added kick to the remix is sweet, too. This can easily fit in FFXIII with nobody noticing a thing. I enjoy remixes which do that. Happy birthday to Jade and best of luck to Ashleigh. Quote
Flexstyle Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Uh, WINNING. This is an excellent song, and that dubstep stuff adds a lot of character without going overboard. Ace work, Jordan and Ashleigh! Quote
Nario Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I love it, bLiNd. FFXIII has an excellent soundtrack, and I'm glad to see it not only get love on OCR, but also from you. I really don't know what else to say. I'm just a huge fan of you and your music, always have been, always will be. Quote
Master_Yoshi Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Instantly fell in love with this. I honestly can't think of a single criticism, shortfall, or dislike I have in this track. It's evocative, well designed, and never once gets boring or repetitive. Bar for electronica tracks +1 Quote
Jenz Drake Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Whenever it came to bLiNd, he's always been the only guy in my life (other than my best friend of 15 years and my father, may he continue to rest peacefully) to ever shower me with so much love and gifts. Whether it was their company, efforts or material possessions. A great gift can be anything, you don't need money to present it. Though the best gift Jordan could ever give me is to never give up on his dreams in music and to always work on it so he could reach his very own blue sky. I have always requested of him to forever and ever be involved with OCR no matter what happens whether the reason may be fortune or fame. One must never forget where they started or came from. So this is the best gift I could ever receive on this day, especially one we cannot spend together right now. Thank you Larry and Dave for pulling the special strings on my birthday. I never thought 10 years ago I'd know any of you or even be mentioned anywhere with so much respect and love from all of you. I know I say this a million times in different ways, but I will never stop showing my gratefulness. Ashleigh did a fanastic job. I appreciate her for doing this despite of her busy wedding planning/job schedule. I must agree as well that the song is perfect from beginning to end and hearing it only once is not enough. That's a wonderful sign. =) It's hard to beat White Skies to me, but this has to be the best song Jordan has ever done. Kudos to my gorgeous husband. All I ever wanted out of life is to be free, I am still waiting for my day of suffering to end. Quote
bLiNd Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 I love you Jade.... This song has special meaning to us both. God has written a love story with us that isn't even to the good part yet Quote
NOIZROCX Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 bLiNd, you really have captured pure and beautiful energy in this piece of music. I took deep breath the first few seconds I listened it (the second time) and pure chills rand down my spine. The vocals combined with the fast paced energetic beats are fantstic. Kudos to you brother. Brilliant piece of work. Quote
Wina A. Kamlongera Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Damn, that was amazing! The drum n' bass/dubstep combination works really really well! Nice work!! Quote
mv Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Yay I'm glad someone talented decided to tackle Final Fantasy XIII. Not the greatest game ever, some really cheesy tracks in the soundtrack, but a consequent amount of kickass ones. This mix is goodness, production is very solid and juicy as expected, vocals are spot-on, reverb/delays are very tasteful, everything comes out fresh and punchy, it's a great reinterpretation of an already good theme. THUMBS IN THE AIR! Quote
Jewbei Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 i jus put this on my ipod gonna listen to this on the way to work.. will post my reaction later on Quote
SJM Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) In the beginning I felt this track had great potential - I was sucked into it and while your TMNT remix did that, too, I didn't like that one, because it was too repetitive and boring IMHO. But this is all different, becuase while IMO being quite similar concerning sound, this mix has the much more interesting arrangement. This great feeling and all the energy and tension is masterfully sustained to the end. Very very cool. That's music I want to hear Edited May 20, 2011 by SJM (little addition) Quote
ambient Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 Totally awesome. One of the best mixes on the site from every perspective. Love it! Quote
halc Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 fucking awesome mix, guys. this is right up my alley. really reminiscent of Trifonic (one of my favorite groups ever), the way you've blended the DnB and dubstep stuff. very cool. tops your last collab in every way, and that's no easy task! Quote
SuperGiantRobot Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 You had me right up to the point it went dubstep. I despise dubstep. Sorry. Quote
delbuster Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 AWW YEAH, THE ONLY FF GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED LIKE A LITTLE BIT OF I enjoyed the music so far as I got, then I turned it in for some GREAT BORDERLANDS excellent mix. I'm really liking it. Quote
LegendaryFrog Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 I had this on loop for about 20 minutes yesterday. Lets hope this is the first in many FF13 remixes on OCR! The game really did have a excellent soundtrack. Quote
Liontamer Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 You had me right up to the point it went dubstep. I despise dubstep.Sorry. Oh dayum, with italics and everything. Must be serious. When I get offended by awesome music, I'll be sure to post in italics too. Quote
auronapern Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 This is amazing - I've been waiting for a great FFXIII mix to hit the web. At last it is here! This track is addicting, the more I listen to it the more I like it, which then causes me to listen more. A vicious cycle that I don't mind at all. Very well done - if you decide to mix some more FFXIII you can bet I'll be all over it! Quote
Gario Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 Never heard any of the music, so this'll be a source-blind run, here (OHO, see what I did thar?!) This... is wonderful. The singing really takes your track to new heights, bLiNd. Wonderful voice, Ashleigh - we need to work together on some music some time, remix or not. *Ahem* The trance + vocals are excellent. The dubstep is abrupt, but well done, and as it weaves throughout the track it meshes very well. The vocal splicing with live vocals is amazing, the effects are awe inspiring. The strings are a bit too dry, IMHO, but they still work well. Great work, both of you. I feel that I better listen to the soundtrack now, after hearing this take on it. Quote
SuperGiantRobot Posted May 21, 2011 Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) Oh dayum, with italics and everything. Must be serious. When I get offended by awesome music, I'll be sure to post in italics too. You don't want my opinion, don't offer me the option of giving it. If you don't like my opinion, that fails to be my problem. Edited May 21, 2011 by SuperGiantRobot Quote
