Melbu Frahma Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Argle's track was a surprise favorite of mine from the album, surprise in that I never much liked the source tune (mainly because of the length of the dungeon it's in and I could never beat the bloody dragon at the end), but it feels like this is a natural progression of the source, and captures the feel of the environment the original music was set in perfectly. I'll definitely be listening to this Remix the next time I'm getting my ass handed to me by that dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnipotentBagel Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 This mix fits a good niche where it's not only good on it's own, but it's almost perfectly written for use as BGM for a tabletop game. It's got a slow build and enough of a pattern that it's easy to set loop points and while it's got a lot of character, it's unassuming enough that it won't distract from the narrative. Seriously impressive work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Just an FYI, for the comments they took two separate comments from me (from my OCR sub & the album) and mashed them together. So if it reads a bit... incoherent... that is the reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it reads a bit... incoherent... that is the reason! Too late! Overclocked posterity will forever regard you as a blathering psychotic. it looks totally normal to me. Really great escalation, fall down, re-escalation on the mix here. It never feels stagnant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimeTower Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 A tremendous effort here, as a simple/repetitive source is given a huge infusion of life, scale, and feeling. This is a good remix, sure, and there a lot of absolutely phenomenal remixes on the album, but this might be one of the most talented remixes - to turn this source into a GREAT song takes really impressive vision and chops. djpretzel nails it: if you've even played 30 seconds of God of War, listen to this mix - it would be right at home here. That's a compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Love the ideas in this dude. Very well crafted sound choices. They really blend well to create an engaging mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 This is one of my very favorites from the album, and it's also one that I voted as my top favorite in the staff voting-for-contest-entries thingy. So yeah, love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Very sinister sounding in the beginning leading up to that giant section at 1:24. I do hear some various influences with NIN and some Matrix, but the grander parts would fit GoW as well. Great menacing ReMix with some sprinkles of epicness.

zachaction Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This is one of my favorite tracks from B&R. The whole album is great obviously, but to me, the best tracks are the ones that make THE BEST POSSIBLE-SOUNDING VERSION of the original. "The Endless Stair" is the absolute best that the Tower of Fanatics theme can be. The mood is flawless and the buildup is impeccable. I applaud Argle for his contribution and point to the fact that I finally registered in this forum just to post this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swansdown Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Tremendous build up -- and build down. Tough, yeh. ^-^ Although the original is one of my favourite tracks, there's not much to it it. I'm surprised at how much nuance was put into the remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSkull Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Ascension. Cult. Madness. Power. This arrangement not only does justice to the music, but captures the feel of the Fanatic's Tower as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm absolutely loving this remix - it's pretty much perfection (and I already liked it in the game). Listening to it daily... however there seem to be a few parts where it was made too loud and thus is distorted (e.g. 1:29 / 1:35 and so on and on)... with this being a true masterpiece, I think it would be amazing to fix those parts. Either way, it's one of my favorite instrumental tracks ever. Hats off to you and thank you for sharing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a serious talent that I hope to hear much more from - amazing work! Hmmm, looks like my speakers (KEF LSX) somehow amplify those parts too much then - those parts are indeed less prominent on my headphones.
