avaris Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 All I gotta say is that this songs pwns. Def my fav from the FFVII proj. The way the gated pad carried the son for good portions reminded me of Xenosphere. Really enjoyed the dynamics and they way all of the simplistic elements fed off of eachother.

anosou Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 Tweek delivers! Brian makes great use of the gated pad coupled with some heavily reverbed percussion elements and they all seem to fit perfectly together. You can tell a lot of time was spent making this an atmospheric piece and Brian succeeded. The Guitar is a welcome touch that helps to keep the mix from going stale. Very laid back, not much changing up during the remix but this is so pleasing on the ears that you just don't care. I especially enjoy the glockenspiel, a sound I also tend to use a lot. Great stuff from Tweek, lovin' it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liontamer Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Short and sweet, this was lush. Great atmosphere and something I love looping. Great stuff from Brian, and one of my legit favorites in all of OCR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hy Bound Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 I absolutely loved this song (and still do). the original was probably one of my most happily reflected audio sources from a game that just puts me in a good mood thinking about it. And I'd have to say that this ReMix takes every part and of the original and makes it wonderful-er. Great job Brian, I hope to hear more songs like this from you.

DragonAvenger Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Larry says it right, "lush" is possibly the best word to use for this mix. Everything really meshes well together, and the stuttering really adds a 'cold' feeling to things, IMO. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sole Signal Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Great track, superbly produced as always. Love the guitar interlude especially. Make more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JhJ Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 This is one of my favourite tracks from the FF project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidilian Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The bass is what makes this song my favourite from the album. Even though it just loops throuhout almost the whole song I never get tired of it. It gives the song such a cool, subtle RnB feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Probably one of my favorite tweek tracks, everyone describing this as both lush and cold is spot on, and though it isn't something i'd rock out in the car to, the 5 or 6 loops of it i've just gone through are a testament to it's chill (lol) qualities.

Moguta Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This had to be the most unexpected of my favorite songs on the VotL project. Looking at the track list beforehand, I honestly didn't even remember the Buried in Snow source tune. But I must give a huge thanks to tweek for remembering it, and going on to embellish it so well. That's half of what I love about OCR; getting introduced to wonderful melodies that I never really knew. The atmosphere comes in very spacious and light, setting the mood for the rest of the track. Even the deliciously stutter-syncopated synths fade in softly, while the chilled percussion echoes far into the icy distance with every hit. The piano, then chimey-synths, that simply play out the melody are so very ethereal within the rest of the mix. And the fading in and out of instruments, to a bare percussionless soundscape at one point before ramping back up, makes even this chill track ebb and flow delightfully. Kudos. And in response to OA, I'd have to say one need not 'rock out' to music in the car. Just imagine cruising down a long highway on a cool dark night, miles of uninterrupted road between you and your destination, the stars as your companion, and this song as your elegy. ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscillated Future Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 I've always wanted to hear a ReMix of "Buried in the Snow" because the original was always so memorable to that particular part in FFVII. Mad kudos to Tweek on this ReMix. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Wow, this is excellent, had never heard this one before (maybe sometime I need to go back and finish listening to VotL ). What a gorgeous soundscape. Chimes, piano, gated synth - a perfect set of instruments. The random percussive elements really add to the cold, isolated feel. Awesome work, Tweek.

metalsnakejuice Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Love this track, it really gives you the feeling that you are in a cold environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Downunder Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Everyone says that this is a chilled and lush remix, and I'm very inclined to agree A very intriguing soundscape you, and the percussion is just gorgeous. Great work, Tweek! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 This has a nice ethereal sound to it, which defines the song as an atmospheric one. It has a more heavy feel than the original. I like this take, I think it's a well done dark take on the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Pretty classic tweek material here, it accomplishes pretty much everything it sets out to do; craft a moody, ambient, and cold atmosphere and give the source a bit of energy. There's a constant sense of motion in here with the gated synths and Brian's very recognizable percussion style, but it doesn't ever feel like it's going too fast for my tastes. Highly recommended, every part of this remix really comes together perfectly to form a beautiful and haunting atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Deep stuff. I love the blend of light and rich sounds to create that really fragile mood. Melody is downplayed to a very faint proportions, which I think works well and allows the strengths of depth and mood take center stage. Love the prominence of the percussive elements in this one; really sells the vibe in spades. Listening to this, and the consistency in the instrumentation, instantly calls up imagery of ice, caverns, water and COLD. Perfectly atmospheric and a terrific mood piece.

Black_Doom Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 One of my personal hilights of VotL. It really brings to mind a picture of something very cold, very ethreal, airy and fragile. Especially dig the percussive textures and acoustic guitar. It definitely maintains the winter atmosphere with such wonderful and lush soundscape. Freakin' awesome.
