tweex Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I mean, what is there to say about this? Stunning....as expected! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Haha! I've had this one for quite a long time. Awesome per Jordan's usual. No lie, back when I first heard this in July 2006, that's probably when I first realized how strong the FF7 project was looking to be. Jordan made sure to bring his A-game the entire time, and it's made all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 This is without a doubt THE definitive Jenova Trance ReMix. It cannot be done any better, well done man . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Jordan really came through strong for Voices of the Lifestream, with numerous contributions all of which kicked his usually high amounts of posterior. I think you just said bLiNd often has a big butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themaister Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 This is simply AWESOME. I've always loved Blind's work, and this is just great too=) Have listened to it a lot. Especially the sound is wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeOmega Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 uh huh. simply excellent. Did not disappoint. I saw bLiNd had a new remix out, got excited, then warned myself it might not be good, so I wouldn't be disappointed if it wasn't. Listened to it.... fantastic.

tekcoh_top Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 absolutely loved this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Wow, from the jump every square inch of sonic real estate is packed with lushness! This is an unrelenting storm of sound from 0:01-end. Gotta love that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Amazingly full; it's like the sound is just pouring out of the speakers. The arrangement is more subtle here than in other more recent mixes, but the main show here is the production. Amazing work. bLiNd really is the bomb.

Dr. Rod Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The production is impeccable. The soundscape is amazingly full, and the synths (particulary the high-end ones) are both constructed and EQed to have a very heavenly, bright feel. Honestly though, I wish there were more unique arrangement of the source. It sounds like very generic, repetitive trance, especially when compared to some of bLiNd's other stuff, even as far back as Meteorave.

Palpable Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Gorgeous. How you manage to make a song sound so full and light simultaneously is beyond me. Really excellent song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XiaoXiaoNeo Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Loved this one when I heard it on the album, and definately glad it was posted. I really enjoy Blind's stuff, and hope to hear much more of it in the future. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I find the mix simple in delivery but packs an awesome sound and creative ideas that are just pure ear candy. Really enjoyed how the chords and the FX during the breakdown kept the energy level up without the 4 on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyAnIdE Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Go on holiday for a few weeks and look what happens. Easily my favourite track off the FFVII project albums. I loved how he worked the EQ in that one, saved me all the work =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexstyle Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Having (unfortunately) never heard the original, I can't comment on its relevance to the original or whatever, but here goes: When I mentally dissect this song, I find that bLiNd has interwoven several melodies together, besides the main one, to create a stellar atmospheric trance number. The synth sounds are very well chosen and give this piece a very euphoric feel. Nothing is out of place--each sound that comes in only strengthens the song. Nothing gets old and nothing clashes--a great feat to accomplish in an electronic song. Key changes are simple, but well executed (are those in the original too?). The supporting arpeggios perfectly complement the main melody, and the sounds chosen are the exact right ones. Overall this is my absolute favorite song on the FFVII album, with good reason. The style just plain WORKS with the melody and tune, and even more so by the fact that it's so well executed. Sorry for the somewhat disorganized post, but those are my thoughts for ya.

quoda Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 This is a great remix... just envelopes you in sound. It just sounds so lush and full of beauty. This is the only Jenova remix I've really enjoyed. It's great, it's true to the original song but it's more "alive." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 What I enjoy the most about this track is the "color" of it's sound. It's a very beautiful bright white; as other reviewers have said, it does a lot to convey a sense of the divine and the euphoric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nario Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I have no reason to review this, mainly because I believe it's perfect. Seriously. This song rocks. Hair of my Judgment: 100/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 This is hot! And not just backup dancers on a music video hot. I mean more like back up dancers on the surface of Mercury hot. If anyone tells me they dislike or god forbid LOATHE trance music, this is the track I'm going to give them to broaden their tastes. Quite an achievement, but then again, this is bLiNd we're talking about here. He's been doing these amazing pieces for years. And we're all the better for it.

JP_Wright Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 We're all aware that JENOVA is one of the most heavily remixed tracks from the FF VII OST. With so many remixes it's hard to distinguish one cut from another. This track, however, shines like a supernova, leaving an unforgettable impression on the listener from beginning to end. If Blind were a newcomer we could throw in a cheesy joke about "a new star being born" (though supernovae are actually the opposite), but given your long history of solid mixing, we'll decide better of it.

42 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Whenever I think Jenova, I think of this. Especially during the intro, I see stars exploding whenever I listen to this. If someone took the most romanticized version of stars and outer space and distilled it into a song, this would be very, very close to that. This is definitely one of my favorite Final Fantasy 7 mixes, and I highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I've always thought that jenovas theme has been slightly overrated (I've always found it boring for some reason) and from a personal taste stand point, this remix didn't quite fix this problem for me However, this remix is pretty much in the realms of untouchable from the word go - the production is flawless, and really gives this remix an unparalleled power that really brings it to fantastic heights. That said, I still find the arrangement of the source slightly boring (but like I said I think its a source dislike so no discredit to blind) Not his best work imo, but it is probably his most identifiable mix, and for my money the essential jenova remix, which is saying something as their are so many.
