Liontamer Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Oh, and seeing as "Adrenalyne Kyck" doesn't have its own submission/review thread, I'll use the opportunity to compliment on it here, spesifically the use of the vocals. There went a shiver down my spine when I first heard that part of the song, and subsequently when I (by serendipity) discovered the source (an old interview with Nomura) of the lyrics. Both a great choice of text and well performed. Two thumbs up! Thanks a lot for the kind words. Big Giant Circles truly made those vocals work. One of the funnier criticisms of that track are people complaining about my vocals being non sequitur, as a lot of people believe they're simply made up for the song. Why would I waste an opportunity to do my own small tribute to Nomura after reading his great interview excerpt? When in doubt, Wikipedia has all the inspiration you need.

Torzelan Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Apologies if the answer is hidden somewhere in these 25 pages of comments, but is there any way to see how VotL has been doing? Like torrent total transfer and stuff, remember zircon showing some crazy stats just after launch. Would be cool and probably incredible still; my upload never fails to max out on this torrent alone when I have it on (got ~110GB uploaded so far and damn it feels good to actually have nothing to worry about legally if the ISP would come knocking on the door asking what the hell is going on!).

Torzelan Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ooh there, thanks. I guess I didn't care about that enormous box when I first saw it, just found it annoying and mentally blocked it ever since But now it did something useful, yay! ...and wow, VotL.

Brutulf Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Would you be able to provide the exact quote too, and/or where (time, ca.?) it appears? Sorry, I'm just too damn curious. And even if I were to watch the whole movie again, i don't think I'd be able to pick it out. :/ Thanks in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zircon Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Someone apparently created a Voices of the Lifestream wikipedia article! Check it out here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voices_of_the_Lifestream If you have sourced additional information and/or corrections to make, I encourage you to do so. I think this time around we have more than enough sources and notability for the article to stay, unlike the previous OCR projects (which, believe me, I fought for.) Additionally, VotL was reviewed positively in the largest Finnish gaming magazine, "Pelit" on page 19 of their November 11th issue. Here's a scan, and a translation: http://www.soundtempest.net/IMG_1836.JPG http://www.soundtempest.net/pelitreview.txt *coughsomeoneaddthattothewikiarticle* Congrats again to everyone who was involved!! I would email you again but I've spammed you enough already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 The question is how long will it stay there for :/. Still very cool that someone made it. Could have done with some credits for each track but hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tensei Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Unnecessary songs, like the million times heard Chocobo theme and Golden Feathers should've been left out of the album. >=( They're totally bashing AnSo and Darangen But seriously, this really is pretty cool that they reviewed it in a real, tangible mag, yet some more well-deserved exposure.

The Damned Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Bastards, I still can't believe they removed all the OCR albums... Well, maybe this will change their mind this time. I doubt it, but there's the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, but there's the chance. Verifiability first, notability second. Wikipedia makes sense in a way, yes we want everything we hold dear to be there, but not everything is notable, and not everything can be verified. If you want other projects to be there, find third party sources, and then use them to show the notability of the projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Except many of the projects WERE sourced, but just not by print magazines, so WP morons wanted them all gone. Verifiability wasn't the problem, it was notability. Even though the album guidelines say that albums by notable artists are notable, and OCR could be considered the artist of these albums, they ignored all that. Another problem with WP is also that there are tons and tons of articles violating the guidelines that no one seems to care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWave Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I've got to say, I'd left OCR for a little while, just a couple of things getting to me, and some other more important stuff to do. But this album's brought me back. This is some truly stunning work. Props to the responsible parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookie Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I stumbled upon this project a few days ago while doing some searches for some Final Fantasy VII music after having heard a FF tune at work. This compilation album is simply incredible. I have really enjoyed listening to the albums, and they remind me of every portion of the great FF7 storyline. It's really inspiring to read about the work and time that went into developing these albums, and the final result really shows it! Most of the songs bring me back to the great times I had playing this game and the remixs accompanied with these songs are very tasteful and fluent. I sometimes can't believe that this is a not-for-profit project. I am in your debt, and know that I will be enjoying this music for years to come! Thank you very much, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookie Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I just felt like adding in the tracks that have really stood out at me so far. Shnabubula - Stone Eyes (The Great Warrior) Sixto Sounds, zircon - Lunatic Moon (Red XIII's Theme) Sixto Sounds, Suzumebachi, zircon - Scenes from a Memory (On That Day, Five Years Ago...) Tweek - Frozen Landscape (Buried In Snow) -- I find myself being absorbed into more and more of these songs, I can't put this compilation down! Once again I just wanted to say, great work!!!

Fishy Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Votl overtook CS on the tracker. Magical. EDIT: Just so you know, myself and AnotherSoundscape started a Lifestream remix for this, but I was feeling crap and couldn't come up with anything at the time. We shall finish it and submit it sometime soon-ish. Subb'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFSamurai Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I applaud you for not making Aeris' theme into an emotional opus and using a more festive mood instead. Your the first I've heard to play that song out like that and so far it's my personal favorite version of it. Great album over all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've commented on the individual songs where I could see them without leaving too much of a "bumping" gap, but I'll just go on record on saying there's probably not a single track on this I would skip over while listening to it. While there are a few songs that could have been a bit better, I still felt overall this is an excellent album. I honestly think that, if this album was commercially released in music stores, game stores and perhaps online through a PayPal order scheme, you really could have made a collosal wedge of $$$$ out of this. Still, I'm not complaining, it's all free but being honest, I really would have paid top dollar (or €uro in my case) for a compilation like this. Now, I think it's time to get down and do the Robot.
