Andricon Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 One of my most frequently listened to remixes. *More thorough comments to come later* Excellent work. Just excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Tooth Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 The begining reminds me a bit of Laputa: Castle in the Skytheam somehow, which it a good thing, because I likes that song also. Singing moutain has to be the best CT song and Saiko carried this song very nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFireKai Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 This remix is truly great. the echoing phases perfectly. Kudos on remixing such an obscure track! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghaleon Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 This is an excellent representative of good techno...0:17 through 0:33 is particularly excellent. It's also a good length: not so long that you get bored, but not so short that it leaves you begging for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedawg235 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Would be easily my favorite Chrono remix but the fact that it's only 2 minutes long drives me to give it 2nd. Still a Techno-Requiem to an already unparalleled song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusilliban Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I find this mix complements kLuTz' Another World remix very nicely. I've listened to the two of them back to back on loop for literally hours at a time, and it gets to be like some weird kind of drug and I feel kinda bad when I stop. Hats off to you, Saiko, this is excellent stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyjohnny Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Any of the singing mountain songs are good in my mind. I think this is my favorite of them all though. Because it's not all bleeps and bloops, and it keeps the orchestration side of the song. the drums are great, although quite repetitve, the aren't obnoxious or monotonous. Wow, this truely is a fine song. just be careful not to repeat the same segments of a song more then twice without adding or taking away something. A+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bummer Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it... 8/5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meccaneer Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 I friggin' love this remix. It's definately one of my favs. That synth line is killer: tonally balanced and not overpowering. The drums are simple but, driving. And the emotion stays with the track! It's a bit short but, download it now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KogeJoe Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here, so take it with a grain of salt. The original piece, if I remember correctly, didn't even make the cut for the game. It was only featured as a hidden piece on the CDs and piano solo book. (Of which, incedentally, I own both...) It's a nice little ditty, but over all, as with A LOT of the original Chrono Score, Mitsuda (the main Japanese composer for Chrono Trigger...) likes to rip off of Ghibli Studio's Miyazaki/Hisaishi. Again, don't get me wrong. I LOVE most of the themes for Chrono, but a lot, I feel was just re-hashed Hisaishi Joe. Take this piece for example. If one analyzes the tune and chords, It's just a re-mix of everyone's favorite Laputa theme. (Kimi wo nosete - Hisaishi Joe) Just for another example, take the music to the city of Zeal. (Isn't it funny how it's a city in the sky, "held there by a mysterious power," and sealed doors that only an amulet can open... hrm...) The melody is certainly different, but the chords and instrumentation aren't... listen to the soundtrack for Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Same drums, and sitar-esque melody... Mitsuda also likes Disney it seems... the piece I found the most ANNOYING (Delightful Spekkio) sounds like a rip off of "I Just Can't Wait to be King," from the Lion King (which is a rip-off of Tezuka's Kimba: The White Lion... my just layers upon layers...). And for those of you who passed the game, anyone ever seen the Main Street Electrical Parade when it was in Disneyland? (Now in California Adventure?) Another Square game that really liked the Electrical Parade music was Mario RPG. So I've really nothing to say about this re-mix, which is essentially, a remix of a rip-off of an original piece. It's an interesting rendition of Mitsuda's attempt at Laputa, though, sorry to say, sounds like just about any other re-mix. Because there are tons and tons of remixers out there, a remix has to be exceptional. And again, don't take it personal, this one just ain't. It's pretty bland and predictable, and it's with an annoying re-hash of a pre-existing melody to boot. Never give up though! Cheers...

WolverineDK Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 if I ever heard this song, while I was on a dancefloor. I would be high, as a kite. And just enjoy the remix bigtime, and dance to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 This mix is awesome. While I'm at it, I can't let this go past without commenting: Not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here, so take it with a grain of salt.The original piece, if I remember correctly, didn't even make the cut for the game.

First of all, same chord progression != total ripoff, especially with a common and simple chord progression like this. Second of all, if anything, Hisaishi ripped off Pachelbel.

OceansAndrew Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I was totally feeling this until the super sour note in the otherwise awesome synth line at 1:16. OUUUUCCCHHH... Besides that, this is good stuff, I love the big beats mixed with the horn and piano, and the synth backing is very cool too. The source is simple but pretty, and the treatment of this is overall cool, it's just that one line that isn't in the right key. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovitz Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Anyone else realize how close this theme is to the main theme in Castle in the Sky? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0aDTO4R5GE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Anyone else realize how close this theme is to the main theme in Castle in the Sky? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0aDTO4R5GE It's the pachelbel's cannon chord progression. It's used all over the place. Including pretty much every song Joe Hisaishi's ever written. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
