ILLiterate Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Nothing beats these old Fabio Frizzi synths The vibe is awesome, nice to groove to, and fun to listen to. My only problem is that it could of used more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big giant circles Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Dammit, wasn't fast enough for the 1st review... lol I dig the opening synth. Reminds me a little of Manheim Steamroller (sp?) throughout, with slightly groovier drums. I've always admired your use of the stereo spectrum. Nice mastering, overall. I'm also digging the transition to bells to harpsi around 1:32. That's probably my favorite part, I'd say. 2:55 is pretty awesome, as well. The power chords don't overpower, as lots of people tend to do when they toss an electric guitar (synth) in a song. Nice overall feel. Has a good, dramatic tone throughout. Great work, zircon!

reelmojo Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Wow. I was happy when I saw an Eternal Champions mix finally made it to OCR, and when I saw the write up page didn't have the name of the source song, I was praying it was going to be "Song of the Eternals" and it is! I love the EC soundtrack, and this is easily my favorite song on it. I used to request it all the time, never getting an answer. I never thought I'd hear someone do the original justice like this. Certainly deserving of a direct post, as well as a permanent spot on my playlist. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zutnunzor Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 SIMPLETON! This lovely little game finally got remixed... Such a weird game at that. Awesome Zircon, just awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja-san Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Truly love the mix especially after into the second minute. Still waiting to hear some mad piano remixes from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 Great remix, even when it was a WIP. Relaxing and enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaillen Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 As usual Zircon does another great mix, I used ot love playing EC but for some reason suddenly stopped. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arro Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 I never had enough patience to play this game thoroughly, but the mix is very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRedBob Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Zircon's stuff is always worth a listen. This mix I enjoyed quite a bit. Lots of time on repeat. BTW, nice work on Impulse Prime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Very sexy. I had this on my desktop for a good 4 or 5 days before actually getting around to listening to it... games I never heard of will do that to me sometimes. This is indeed a newish sort of branch for you Andy, the organ/harpsichord and eerie sine(?) lead are a great sound for you. The arrangement in general is a very great tribute to the theme... a theme which I wish I'd heard before. Pretty sure I hadn't heard of 'eternal champions' until the day this mix was posted. Then the pickup for the last 50 seconds does everything to satiate my desire for things un-cookie cutter. A killer rock tribute I've listened to something like 6 times in the last hour. I'd put it in my top 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hey, the same song AkumajoBelmont remixed. A little more subdued than what we're used to with zircon. I found it to be decent, but nothing beyond the fade in at 2:55 seemed to stand out. My two cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SargeSmash Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Very, very nice. I've enjoyed all your other mixes, and had a feeling that despite my unfamiliarity with the source material, this would rock. And it does. The synths at the start, and the one that pervades the background, are awesome. But when the guitar comes in for the last run at 2:53, that sealed the deal for me. Just have good speakers set up to listen! Great, great stuff. Keep it up! Sarge out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusilliban Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 This is not what I've come to expect from zircon, but it is good. I find the last fifty seconds or so to be the best part of the piece. Perhaps I'd appreciate it more if I'd ever heard/played the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hey, the same song AkumajoBelmont remixed. A little more subdued than what we're used to with zircon. I found it to be decent, but nothing beyond the fade in at 2:55 seemed to stand out. My two cents. Fair enough. You're right that it's a bit unusual for me. For one thing this is the slowest original I have ever remixed; sub-90 BPMs are fairly difficult to work with. Another thing is that I actually did this ReMix with only a tenth of my normal synth/sample collection. I started it on a whim after my prmiary music software drive got wiped. However, I did have a lot of fun with it and as long as some people are enjoying it as much as I did, then mission accomplished, I say Thanks for the comments, all.

Mythezza Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 Beautiful, as always. Zircon continues to be the top reason I troll OCR. Another smashing remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 It's a good listen. Not the best I've heard or anything. Does anyone else think this is far too short to be called 'Perpetual Motion'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlastikBag Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Zircon never fails to please my ears. Not my favorite of yours, but that's because you've set the bar for yourself incredibly high. I love the samples you used in the introduction. They remind me a lot of Sonic 3 & Knuckles' soundtrack. Now, we just need a new CD so I can hear all of those unfinished WIPs you post in their completed form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbynob Littlun Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Hmm I can see the comment on it reminding of Castlevania, but... not really. It does bring to mind some of the tunes from The Lost Vikings 2, though. Especially the medieval area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
