Lucentas Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Mr. Prievert is shaping up to be one of my favorite ReMixers on this site, and this piece is one of the reasons, if not the reason, why. I've never heard the original song, but somehow I think listening to it after having heard this piece would be almost a disappointment, as I feel he captures the essence of it so well. This is one ReMix that won't be leaving my playlist for a long, long time. Actually, it'll probably be there for the rest of eternity.

Catharsis Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah, this really is one of the best ones out here. How come he hasn't produced anything on here in awhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 To each his own I guess... The distorted vocals make some sense, as if it were filtered through broken glass, but well, this isn't quite my cup of tea. The best I can say is to try it out for yourself.

OceansAndrew Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I'm glad this track made it through the lockdowns despite the heavy sampling of the original. The gating effect really makes it sonically unique and interesting, and there is a ton of expansion of the theme on it's own. The gating makes the tempo change possible too, without ruining the original waveform. Great source and a nice mix of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Wow, you know, I've heard this source before in other media, but I hadn't realized it was from Xenogears until now. Cool effects with the synthlines and the gating. All the distortion and effects on the vocals was an interesting experience to hear, and while there were points where I thought it could have been clearer or didn't sit right with me, overall I enjoyed the experimentation and variation in it. Not bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marscaleb Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 This is an atrocity. The original is such a beautiful song, and it has an outstanding vocal. But this remix runs that voice through a horrendous chopping filter. Look, there are ways to add a "glitching" effect that sound really cool, fun, and interesting. But you can't just run some glitching filter on it and call it a day. And the more "glitching" one adds, the more careful one must be with it. But this is half the song made to sound like something is wrong with your internet connection, completely destroying a beautiful original piece.

orlouge82 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 @PrievertThis has been in one of my regular playlists in one form or another for the past 19 1/2 years. The song is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
