OCR00790 - Final Fantasy IV "Leap into the Darkness"

Gotta give Tom credit though, I mean he was like 13 when he wrote this. On a side note, when you gonna try to remix again DC13 eh?

Cloudy in most sections, empty in a few others. Production is definately not this mix's selling point.

Overall, I liked what I heard in arrangement. I don't know if I dig the middle, quiet section too much, as I find my mind wanders a little by that stage. And the transition out of it is extremely jarring. But the sections at the beginning and end, though noisy, are quite nice and energetic. There's definately some good writing stuffed in there, and it doesn't take much to hear it.

It's probably more for a niche audience; it does sound pretty archaic and there's an unsettling imbalance in sound levels. But looking past that can bring some special rewards. Definately worth checking out to see what you can get from it.

The main thing IMO is the transitions. Despite some clear sample issues, I feel like the most potential is inn smoothing things up. For example, the chiptune, while nice, was out of nowhere.
