GTAHater836 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I've waited a long time for this! Sentient Machines was my favorite track on Random Encounter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crono3of3time Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Uhm.... o.o;; err uhm.. eh.. how to... describe... this..?? It sounds like a seasick orchestra that transposes the feelings in their stomach to the slip and slide of the notes as the boat tilts around. Also, there is a feeling that the instruments are not completely tuned which also leads to this sense of believing the orchestra to be heavily seasick and unable to correctly turn their instruments. I can detect an attempt at being Middle Eastern.. but.. it's overshadowed by the strange sliding noises that almost eclipse the attention of the entire song. I was utterly confused listening to this. About halfway through it begins to sound like a haunted clown-house, very reminiscent of Big Boo's merry go round in Mario 64, adding even more to the disorientation. But eh, opinions are opinions. I'm probably missing something, which is why it sounds so strange to me. Hmm. Edited January 30, 2013 by Crono3of3time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jragyn Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The intro part and off and on throughout the 10 minute song(the orchestral stuff that sounds kinda creepy) adheres well to the source and sounds like a remix, but the parts where the mixer tries to get creative it just sounds... messy? The vocals could be more useful if applied with less... force(I guess the word is), or not at all. Maybe because I'm really fond of the source, I don't feel like this mix does it justice. It loses that sense of awe that you get from being in a castle in the sky, for the most part. Valiant attempt, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Definitely the highlight of Random Encounter for me, as I already stated in the official thread way back when it came out. Nice to see it get some single love too, somehow I missed this until now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Certainly has the switch ups of a Final Fantasy ReMix. The introing acoustic guitar was relaxing and such, but then that chaotic mayham that followed was a bit unnerving. Then to go back and forth on that was interesting. There were some points where I felt a bit disoriented, but once it went into the vocals section and beyond, things clicked again. For what was done and the length of it all, I have to say that this is a great addition to Random Encounter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WT_Neptune Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tiamat is the symbol of the chaos of primordial creation. With that in mind, this mix is perfect. Everything that has been said so far about it being unnerving and seasick and disorienting is exactly right. Weird to think this is 5 years old now...
