Less Ashamed Of Self Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 AHOY! Bladiator does it again! Have a drink with me my brother! :vomit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillian Aversa Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 LAOS, you dog! I was totally gonna be the first poster on this one. Hehehe, no, ees okay. 1:57- Ba dooby doo, (hoo hoo!) BRILLIANT! Me roffles. This is a real gem, blad. Whenever I'm down, I'll be listening to this (and Hillbilly Rodeo, of course) for a quick boost. Quite the talent you have, sir.

RoeTaKa Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I heard this quite a while ago, the Blad himself graced me with it personally. Certainly is one sexy mix, with some damn right good playing. I love the brief stops with percussion, especially at 1:58 with the hoo hoo's. I'm cheesy, it gets to me. Good stuff man.

RimFrost the Tourianist Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Ohh what a lounge song. I'll just sip this last shot of brandy listening to this exquisite piece of a remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navi Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Combines three things I love. Bladiator, Piano, and Final Fantasy VIII. Just an orgy of beautiful sound in my ear, spontaneously exploding all over my senses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suigeneris1984 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Hats off to you. What an exquisitely vibrant piece. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipp Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I must say I wasn't a fan of FF8. I love the FF series, but that one just didn't do it for me. I think it was the battle system. Also, I didn't like the music. With that said, this piece is fantastic. If it had been like this in the game, things might have been different. An excellent song, my friend. Going into the latin feel was brilliant. Around 1:42, I think is my favorite part. Then you go into this Godfather sound, and I was laughing, thinking how much better FF8 would've been with the Godfather in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strife. Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I haven't found any really GREAT remixes worthy of a dl in a while, and though my partiality to FF VIII probably has somethign to do with it, this is a great mix. The variety is high, but not bad. The use of all the different styles is a pretty risky move, but here it's executed perfectly. My ONLY complaint is that the pauses seem a bit out of place. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyonr1 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 First off, I've got Zipp beat, I stopped playing at 7, and I haven't even beaten that... but ON TO THE PIECE! although many of Bladiator's works as collabs have made his amazing piano skillz, and thats what they are, go somewhat unnoticed, I thought this was just going to be another amazing solo piano Arrangment, for whatever game I always appreciate a piano take on it, so's to see what I could do if I had half the will. Although never hearing the orignal, I see now that this man, nay, LEGEND in some circles, does as well with a piano, as with a multi instrument ReMiX, be it collab or whatnot 11 out of 10, amazing work good sir /Endrant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricklozen Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 This is a really enjoyable interpretation of the original. It's all just flowing along, like a sea of stars. So, what is it now, the fifth time I play it in a row? Pleasant bass. But yeah, nicely done, Sir. (HOO HOO? I hate the sound! As I hate Hell, all Gorons.)

Azurewind Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Slavic? Latin? genre rarely seen yet MASTERFULLY done? whatever, I'm really digging this mix (yes, hoo-hoos and all ) while I'm at it w/ comments: awesome sig Less Ashamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assface Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Not my style. I probably won't ever listen to it after the first time. Just kind of bland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Finally, some fucking tango. Bukki's Tango so doesn't count. And actually, this piece is only about half-tango anyways. I will have to one-up this song by making a FULL tango song. And it will automatically be better because I have a REAL accordion :E But seriously, nice work anyway.

debeerguy007 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Damn... I mean... DAMN. This is damn Good stuff. This is a remix thats shows that sometimes you don't always have to have THE best samples in the world to remix. Still, Bladiator makes the best with what he's got. Very well constucted and executed. I especially like how it slows down and gets faster towards the end. Crazy. Oh, yeah I guess I like tango music. Something new I didn't even about myself. Huh (sits down to contemplate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladiator Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 1:57- Ba dooby doo, (hoo hoo!) I love the brief stops with percussion, especially at 1:58 with the hoo hoo's. I'm really digging this mix (yes, hoo-hoos and all ) Finally! People that don't abhor the hoo hoos! You all make me very happy. Also, just to clarify, the original reason behind the song title is the fact that I still use a MIDI tracker circa 1996, so it will only save 8-letter file names. Only after re-reading what I had saved the file as did I giggle and realize it's true potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pander Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Great song, I agree with DJP's True Lies vibe, heh. Then at the end it sounds like what you'd hear at an Eastern European wedding, up tempo and bouncing. Only concern is, as a huge FFVIII fan (both of the game and soundtrack) that I couldn't pick out the source material very well. Minor gripe, and probably just cause I haven't heard it in a while...

Minor gripe, and probably just cause I haven't heard it in a while... It's the Waltz music from the scene between Rinoa and Squall. It's also the melody in Eyes on Me. Nice work getting it posted up there Blad, it's a great solid and enjoyable piece to listen to, enough said. One thing I find interestingly unique about it is that if you try to hum the original melody along with it, it sounds very much out of place, however by itself this piece stands strong. Dare I say that Squall and Rinoa would probably enjoy dancing to this piece more than the one they did in the game (although it might be a little too fast-paced for two-left-feet Squall.) I love the build up from about 2:15. Nicely done, gives the piece a really great dynamic feel. On the very minuscule negative side. The generic percussion used as a backing to the piece is very flat. By far it works out well enough, though from a nitpicking point of view, if it had a more realistic ambience to it, the piece could have sounded much more powerful. Like I said, that's only a tiny issue for me. It doesn't take any of the enjoyment out of the mix. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolded my exact sentiments. That's what I mean, after that Energy Tank remix flowing the Brinstar theme throughout the song, maybe I was too hooked on being able to place the source in throughout the song.

Harmony Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 I play this song over and over just to get that perfect silent tension at 0:50 before the percussion drops on me milliseconds later. Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miletus Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 1:58 spoils it all for me, I'm afraid. It's an unwritten rule that I must automatically hate any song with those sounds in it. Sorry, dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
