Strife. Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Well, I can say that this mix lives up to its name in that it starts out with train ambience. But it being a disco, I dunno, it felt a bit too slow and spooky for a disco. Still, pretty spooky and well thought up. I'd love to play this for a Halloween thing or something.

kamoh Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 He's actually right, TO. This doesn't sound disco-like. But I wanna stick it in my UT music folder for random play. This is the perfect groove for fragging to and you know it. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 You know, Irony completely passes over peoples heads now-a-days. I just named it "Disco" to cover up the fact that I was using drumloops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnmisha Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 I do like it, I personally liked the original in the first place so I guess that is another reason that I would like it. Overall I think it is a very intresting remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC83 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 HOW ABOUT SOME MORE FINAL FANTASY REMIXES? I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ENOUGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomindo Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Nice and spooky, the disco thing is misleading, I didnt understand the lyrics, they seemed a little out of place, it also drags a little at around 2:30, the song could use a little trimming, but overall not too shabby.

Royal Sovereign Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 This is like something out of one of the sicker 70's horror movies, like Creepshow on acid...this is incredibly creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_NutS Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 wel I must say that if it wasn't for me and my fixation for this particular song, TO would have never remixed it . As the winner of one of the PRCs, I chose this song to hear it remixed(at last) and TO did a very good job at it. Now, this version is pretty different from the PRC submission, this one has a more clean sound to it, and I can hear some new additions here and there. Plus, the voice sample now sound much spookier than before. Overall, I think TO acomplished the goal of making this song something very spooky. Its One of the most halloween-terror movie like remixes on the site. It may not sound much like Disco, but its a good song indeed. You made the good old NutS happy.

Doulifée Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Whoa.Magus vu. that's the first thing i said to The orichalcon, when he give me the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shhteve Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Whoa.Magus vu. I'm now seeing the similarities between the Ghost Train track and Magus' Theme. With that said, this track rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 You know, now that I listen to it again, it does sound a lot like Magus doesn't it? I hadn't even heard Magus' theme when I made this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCatPhysician Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Whoa, yeah I noticed the Magus part right away. That same riff is also used in Beware the Forest Mushrooms from Mario RPG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesshomaru Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Having a strange problem listening to this mix. If I let it play from start to finish, the sound cuts out at 3:17. If at any time I jump to a specific time, it doesn't cut out. I have tried redownloading this mix 4 times now, deleting all web page history, predeleting, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. Otherwise, awesome work here. EDIT: I studied what was happening a bit, and it would seem that the section that starts at 3:07 and ends at the end of the mix is played early, and when I said the sound "cuts out" I hadn't noticed the fade. So when I forcibly go to the 3:07+ section, it actually does cut out at the end of the timer, because it's playing the wrong part of the mix. I honestly don't know how these things work, but it would seem as if it's divided into sections that are played in a certain order and the order is screwed up or something for mine. Since nobody else has said anything, I surmise that I'm the only one who is getting this problem. So I don't know wtf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Orichalcon Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 It's a variable bitrate piece, Sesshomaru. So it's likely your player is having trouble handling the VBR. Try playing it on WMP or Winamp. It works fine on those. What player are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sesshomaru Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 I tried it in WMP like you suggested, and it ends normally at the 3:07ish mark. So why does it get almost a full 2 minutes added onto it in Real Player? That I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 There needs to be a huge front-page announcement: VBR FUCKS WITH MEDIA PLAYERS. Anyway, this track is really cool. I dislike how some of the loops are layered, because they don't sound very natural when played on top of one another, but other than that, this is really atmospheric and groovy. -chth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooper_1989 Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 TO; good work, it's a good mix. Although I know you think you could've done better, it's awesome. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xelebes Posted March 20, 2005 Share Posted March 20, 2005 While it being breaks, it does have a dark disco vibe to it. Awesome for progressice break sets. Like this is actually very decent, I love the leads and stuff. It is like a funky version of Serious Sam music. I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Wily Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 While it being breaks, it does have a dark disco vibe to it. Awesome for progressice break sets. Like this is actually very decent, I love the leads and stuff. It is like a funky version of Serious Sam music. I love it. That's what this site needs more of.. Serious Sam mixes, especially Grand Cathedral. Anyway, like a lot of others, the 'Magus' theme jumped right out at me, very curious you'd not heard it before! Has a nice bass, suitably creepy atmosphere and a good tempo that likens it to some kind of ghostly pursuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeAutomation Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Creepy as hell. In a good way. Where was this last october?! The voice-snippets really add to the effect. Also nice from a techno-lover's standpoint. Excelent. Didnt find any flaws listening it a few times via headphones. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelus Laminarum Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 TO, this is pretty good. I like the whole creep feel to the entire song. I especially liked the added touch of the horrific voice from about [0:17 -> 0:20]... what's it saying? "Welcome to ze Haunted Train!"? Then [0:25 -> 0:29]'s "Welcome to your doom!" was interesting to say the least. One thing I noticed is that right about 0:30 until about 0:39, it starts going down the scale from a high note, awfully reminiscent of Magus's Theme from Chrono Trigger. At first I thought it was going to be incorporated into the song, but then it only went down the scale. Oh, well, wishful thinking. Really creep, but pretty damn good. Keep it up!

RimFrost the Tourianist Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 The Haunted Train was a funny part where you just collected ghost buddies for use as cannon fodder in a fight The remix ? Oh it's nice enough. Disco ? Yes please. We like, or I like it anyway Nice work TO ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixthFlyingMan Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Why didn't I hear the MAgus theme when I played through the Ghost Train on the game? Is that just something that TO put in? In any case, yeah, the mix kicked ass. Downloaded, and even so good as to deserve a review saying "Download this or YOU'LL ride that train next!!"
