Assface Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 For what it's intended to be, it's a great piece, but it wasn't to my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shhteve Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 It took a while to progress to a point where I enjoyed listening to it (which happened at around 1:40 or so, not sure on exact time), slow introductions are usually a killer for orchestras (the bad kind of killer), but other than that I really dig this. I don't know about you guys, but it sounds very incomplete at the end.. did anyone else notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sil Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Very nicely done. Many of the samples were used effectively, and the overall feel was definitely cinematic. It’s highly rhythmically driven, rather than harmonically, but it works perfectly in this context (man, that’s a lot of adverbs.) I wouldn’t say the library you used creates the most pleasant legato string passages, but I can appreciate how you’ve taken advantage of what useful sounds you did have in order to emulate an orchestra to as close as what is possible these days. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaid Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Wow, more remixers need to incorporate multiple songs in a manner similiar to this. Definitly great stuff and hope to see more of this style in the future. Take hint remixers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Now, this is another good orchestral piece. Quality of right shot. I will listen the previous ReMix of this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU1516 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 awsome, this one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. I love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbynob Littlun Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I know it's a classic way to use those hard-to-use pure tones of the xylophone, but I still contend that said classic way (used at the beginning of the song) sounds really dumb. Still, I like it, I really do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claado Shou Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Excellent piece. Convincing as all get-out. Congrats on making a solid medley arrangement that ACTUALLY brings the games together as opposed to smushing them into the same samplepack. You're an artiste of a very high caliber.

DragonFireKai Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 He went a very different route from the last mix of his I reviewed at the start, but he loops back around, and brings the Harpsichord back in for a brief period. It remains throughout, but unlike in Reminiscence of Feelings, it doesn't become the focus of the song. Instead, the brass takes over, giving this mix a Wagnerian feel for a period. It reminds me of the great multi act operas that the great composers used to put together. There's a demarcation between the songs mixed, but not enough to throw of the pacing of the song as whole. Excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siven7 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Excellent piece. Convincing as all get-out. Congrats on making a solid medley arrangement that ACTUALLY brings the games together as opposed to smushing them into the same samplepack. You're an artiste of a very high caliber. I really agree with this - really cohesive work! It doesn't feel like a mash-up at all; while all of the pieces were different, you still gave them a feeling that they fit together, which is really epic. Awesome patches and samples, solid production... yeah! I love this, amazing work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidilian Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Isn't the theme "Radical Dreamers" there at the end aswell? Btw, I can't believe this mix has such a relatively small amount of comments... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorscheT1 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I've had this remix in my playlist for a long time now, and it wasn't until recently that I actually took a good listen to it, and I must say I am highly impressed. The arrangement is very well done with mostly seamless transitions. The layering of instruments is also very good. I think this remix has taught me that I should probably take the time to give a more thorough listen to other mixes that didn't immediately jump out at me the first couple of listens. There's a lot going on in this piece, and while it may not be the type of song that you might enjoy when your focus is on another task, when you give it your attention it really shines.

Marmiduke Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Man, man, man, maaaaan. This is crazy good. Vampire Hunter Dan is GOD of orchestral remixes. That is all. While others contest with some success, they nevertheless succumb to the volatile levels of awesomeness of mixes like this one. An amazing ballet of intertwining Mitsuda melodies. And always extremely rich and interesting; there's always some sort of background magic happening if you really pay attention, the same as in great classical music. This mix is one of the most rewarding and beautiful pieces on OCR and Vampire Hunter Dan is one of the most important mixers on the site, in my eyes. Don't EVER overlook this.

OceansAndrew Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 a little heavy on the medleyitis, but things are nicely arranged and very personalized. This is definitely more than just the tracks strung together, but some of the transitions are so flimsy. :/ The samples are very good, but more importantly, they are utilized very very well. Lots of humanization and velocity changed, some excellent partwriting that plays to the strengths of the samples, and the source tracks are all beautiful. VHD has come a long ways, even from this strong debut, so be sure to check out all of his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentas Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 You know, the more I listen to VHD's stuff, the more I realize how awesome it is. And this, too, is oh so awesome. How does he DO this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
