HoboKa Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 For some reason I don't like most of the FF8 remixes, this one however is great. Good job mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix Wynde Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 This is really beautiful and in every aspect of the word. Very mesmerizing and soothing. I don't think I could say enough about how much I like this piece, nay, love this piece. It just takes you to another place and does it with such justice, too. Right on, man.

Liontamer Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Still one of my absolutely favorites on OCR and among video game arrangements period. Personally, I don't know how well the sequencing pulls off being realistic. Bryan certainly did a good enough job for me. The sound of the bow movements and the string harmonies were extremely emotive. I would love to hear this on an official arrangement album, without the losiness of the 112kbps encoding. It's that good. Given further fine tuning with the sound quality, it could have easily closed out a dramatic battle in an blockbuster Hollywood film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gario Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I wanted to do a remix of this source, myself, hoping that no one else did an amazing rendition of it. It is one of my very favorite Final Fantasy songs (perhaps next to Kefka). Damnit, you beat me to the punch! This remix is great, and I hope everyone on this site can at the least give it a listen - they won't regret it! The source itself was amazing, and you didn't detract from it one bit. Wonderful.

Koru-chan Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 This is an utterly beautiful rendition of this song. It is just as dramatic and moving as the original if not moreso. I love the slow build and that you didn't add too many instruments or make it too busy. I was afraid of listening to a remix of this particular song but I'm so glad I did!

LadyReemz86 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 I've always loved 'Compression of Time' while playing FF8. Everytime I heard it, I felt the..nothingness..the despair in its tunes. What you did with it was absolutely brilliant. At first I said there's no way, but now that i've listented to it, I have to say "you did it!" IT was simply brilliant.

genius11433 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Good work. Truly a moving piece. You got me aiming for the "Download" button before I finished listening to the entire preview. That is high praise from me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MechaFone Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Desperate. Distant. Lonely. That's what this song makes me feel. Very well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OceansAndrew Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Holy shit this is incredible. I never thought the source was anything special, but this is exceptionally dramatic and emotional. The super drawn out build was very well done, and everything really clicked. I'd love to hear this performed live, as the dynamics would be even more pronounced then. Very awesome stuff.

Archangel Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Congratulations on your first OCRemix mix! This is a wonderful arrangement of a spectacular source. The soundtrack of Final Fantasy VIII has always been one of my absolute favorites, and Compression of Time is one of its most underrated songs, so this piece was extremely welcome as far as I'm concerned. Like a lot of people have mentioned before me, the slow build-up really adds to the innate atmosphere of the song. Very well done, indeed, I can't wait to hear more remixes from you.

Bahamut Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Curious take on this heavy song - while this is also heavy, it has a lighter feel to it somehow to me. That's not saying much though, as this has a somber march aspect to it. It's a nifty atmospheric track that's probably easily overlooked, good job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Polo Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I will go so far as to say this mix can be interpreted several ways: - Not simply poetry in motion, this is poetry on the MARCH. Progressive yet introspective, merciless at the front of the activity bulk but beautifully calm in the center, it's a storm that both destroys and revives the entire landscape in one gradual sweep. - In a gracious nod to the source name, this embodies the concept of time. Thundering drums keep the measured, unstoppable pace; shaky strings echo regrets, nostalgia, and other longing-based emotions that humans feel when they think about time they will never get back; and progression-wise, the atmosphere creeps up on us loomingly (like fast-approaching deadlines) and departs in the distance (making us say "where did all the time go?" and "life can pass you by"). - Need a physics textbook? Just pluck some physics terms from here, since many can be said to be in this mix (some previously noted): weight, force, friction, momentum, compression (lol), you name it. If this were the real song played during Ultimecia's time compression spell, sign me up for the end of the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colinjstewart Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Surprised that Sefiros didn't post this here himself. Anyway, Sefiros has put out a new version of his 2005 remix "Everything = Nothing" (May 2012). It can be downloaded here: http://music.sefiros.co.uk/track/everything-nothing I'm not sure it's necessarily a better version of the song, unfortunately. I'd really like to see someone with crazy production skills -- like zircon -- redo this track (you know, short of getting an orchestra to do it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
