djpretzel Posted April 6, 2016 Posted April 6, 2016 Now here's something you don't hear every day! Arrangement has that swirling, old-school Disney feel to it... this would have been *brilliant* with Frank Sinatra singing, but Chris lays down a vocal that for the most part keeps up with the accompaniment. - djp Link to file: Contact Information ReMixer name: Chris Muggli-Miller Email address: Forum userid: 16184 Submission Information Name of game: Lunar: Eternal Blue Name of arrangement: Blue Star Prayer Name of original song: Lucia’s Theme My comments: Lunar 2 was one of those games that affected me more strongly than it had any right to do. While I thought the ending song was a perfect way to end the story, part of me wondered how it might have sounded if it had been a full orchestra production, like the ending themes from Final Fantasy games with which I was more familiar. Looking online and seeing a curious lack of Lunar 2 remixes out there, I decided to do my part. Here is Lucia’s Theme, re-envisioned to sound more like a Final Fantasy ending theme. True Lunar 2 fans will discover other themes from the game hidden throughout the orchestration. All arrangement and production is 100% my own work, including the vocals. Additionally, I had the good fortune of being able to share this version with Noriyuki Iwadare (composer of the original) who gave it his personal stamp of approval. Thank you!

Chimpazilla Posted April 13, 2016 Posted April 13, 2016 This instrumentation gets my highest rating, WOW it's well done. The vocal comes in a touch loud for me, and while the singing is competent with good vibrato, there are spots that are flat. Even so, this cover is sensational. And wow Sir_Nuts, we are learning more about you each day YES
Nutritious Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Great instrumentation and writing on display here. Vocals definitely get the job done here. Chris achieves a great balance between the backing orchestra and the vocals so that the former supports, rather than competes with, the latter. Arrangement work sounds solid to me. Great delicate phrasing on even more minor backing instruments. Top notch sequencing here. Man, instrumentation sounds gorgeous. I'm plagued with sample envy. One note: Sounds like some clipping briefly at 5:27. Probably pushed the levels a bit hard, but it would be good to have a fix for it. YES
DaMonz Posted April 16, 2016 Posted April 16, 2016 Instrumentation is awesome, vocals are on point, source is there. The Final Fantasy approach definitely works. Off to the front page! YES
