Eino Keskitalo Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Sooooo goooooooood. Superb sound, I love a good grand ambient piece and it's lovely to see some on OCR. A cold, clear sense of yearning and sublime.. makes me want to search ancient ruins on stray asteroids beyond the orbit of Saturn and stuff.

Melody of Light Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Did they... slow this down even more than the original? The original was always a bit gloomy, yet had a thoughtful beauty to it. This mix was hauntingly beautiful the entire way through. I'm impressed. I probably haven't heard every mix for this song that exists, but this one strikes me as being incredibly unique. Masterfully done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I can understand Larry and djp when they express interest in hearing about the process, but honestly most of the time I don't have all that much to say about a track. it's like, here's a track, I was feeling this genre at the time, hope you like it. this idea came from Patrick Burns Balance and Ruin track, which I really like. and like djp says ambient is relatively rare here. so I had a hankering to do some. I guess the unique challenge of this track was designing animal and other sfx that are shout outs to the original forest sounds, rather than just ripping the ones from the game. my favorite occurs about halfway through. Did they... slow this down even more than the original? half speed, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Ambient is rare because it's soooooo low energy, and might be boring if it's too unchanging. But you did it well. In fact, it felt shorter to me than it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverClocked PodCast Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mesmerizing, this is. I think evktalo put it well-- I need some stray asteroids ASAP. My only complaint is that I need to get some work done tonight and this ReMix is luring me into a trance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 this idea came from Patrick Burns Balance and Ruin track, which I really like. and like djp says ambient is relatively rare here. so I had a hankering to do some. That's awesome, because I was also thinking of that track as an example of ambient on OCR and how much I liked that one too. So it's like.. you did this track for me. Thanks!

Crulex Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Now this is ambiance that doesn't ever even come close to being boring. Something like this is peaceful, tranquil and beautiful, and it says something when you can make an ambient ReMix that goes six minutes long seem to pass by in half the time. The instruments, the effects, the mid-mix vox, everything just seems to be engaging to listen to. Outstanding work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowpsyc Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Really good choice of style for this, the original already made me think "man I could just zone out listening to these arpeggios f o r e v e r"...and at over six minutes it does still feel a little short. Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Wow, this is really ambient. I've never heard a ReMix like this one. Yeah, there are some ambient mixes here, but this one is different. It has great mellow atmosphere. The soundscape is pretty lush here. Nice work.

Octagon Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Incredible. This feels like a sister remix to "Green Amnesia" - excellent tunes for melancholy night driving. The echoing texture is just beautiful, reminiscent of the non-nightmarish parts of the forest music in Xenogears, and also CotMM's works. Strangely enough, I expected a bit of "Higher Than Can Be Carried By Wings" from Wild Arms 3 at about 1:48 Edited November 3, 2014 by Octagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metamorphosis Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 A great cousin to Aeroz's more chip-tuney, upbeat effervescent version, this remix truly brings out the atmospheric feeling of the original in a deep way. Congrats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sweet soundscape; the SFX feel part of it and not just tacked on as well. Subtle entrance of the arp was quite nice and the reverbed piano is just right. I agree that the vocals were a nice touch. I gotta applaud Argle for making such a minimal mix that doesn't outstay its welcome at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyrrakavian Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Gorgeous! Argle, Have you thought of doing a music based resource pack for MineCraft, and would you be opposed to someone using this in an MC resource pack provided they credited you?

eggsngaming Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 If there were ever a good reason to get good headphones, this is it. The buildup in the first minute almost makes me feel like there's cool air blowing on my neck and giving me chills. You imagine that you are IN the forest in this game, or in a hidden forest that wasn't in the original game. You're surrounded by mystery and yearning. Growing up, I think we all imagined what it would be like to actually BE in the settings of NES games, or SNES games, or PS1 games, etc. We imagined being Crono and leading the team through the enveloping story and time periods. This mix transports you to that place only music can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
