Chimpazilla said they thought it had TSO-vibes, which I totally get, but I hear a lot of late 80s/early 90s Danny Elfman on my end. Besides being a behemoth of collaboration, this is just a great remix! Love how it grows and becomes a real monster of a track. Also, starting it with Aerith's theme getting distorted into OWA is just mean : )

Off topic, I find it very interesting that this site isn't growing in OWA remixes. It took 4 years for Trenthian's strange "Sector 7 Hath Wrought the Angel" to arrive on the scene and 3 years after that for the slightly (only slightly!) more traditional "Black Wing Metamorphosis" to hit OCR, and that was with an album drop. (Side note, I also hear Elfman influences in "Black Wing Metamorphosis" so maybe there's something inherent to the original?) 

Not that I'm complaining about OWA representation, I just find it interesting that one of the most recognizable video game tracks ever has 5 standalone remixes, 7 if you include the the ones with other sources in them. I'm not the most musically-technical person around, so I assume that the original is a lot more intimidating to tackle than something like Terra or Aquatic Ambience? Considering how many contributors are on this one remix and "Black Wing Metamorphosis", I'm not really surprised that it only gets remixed every 3 years or so. What a beast!
