The Unsung Plumber Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Wow, this is beautiful. It keeps it's energy throughout the entire song, which I love, it transitions well, my only gripe is the end is a little too quick, but I think thats just personal preference. Keep em coming, our favorite vampire hunter! Quote
Kautzman Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 I love this piece! Very easy to listen to. Excellent detailing. A quality song that's going onto the play list. I'm looking forward to more. Quote
Doomgaze Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 It's about time there's a Threads of Fate remix. And an orchestral one to boot. Instrumental-wise, it's brilliant. But personally, I just didn't dig the mood from the second and third minutes. But that's just my opinion. Some other parts of the song somehow sounded as if it's from Brave Fencer Musashi and KH. Although that's no bad thing. Quote
LuigiFan Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Not since Chrono Symphonic have I heard an orchestral ReMix of this quality, not to mention it's a freakin' medley! It's extremely awesome, I especially love the nice brassy sections. It's very well written and I commend thee! Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Started off a bit slow, but got really good towards the end. Overall, this definitely gets a thumbs up Quote
Thin Crust Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 This arrangement makes good use of the instrument, as well as mixed winds, chromatic percussion, and more string articulations than you can shake a stick at - check the trills at 2'28" for just one of many examples. Do you think he meant at 2:38? Started off a bit slow, but got really good towards the end. Overall, this definitely gets a thumbs up All his songs are like that. Actually, in terms of epicness, things always start out medium, then get slow, then always finish big. The only problem is, most of his songs on his site are no longer available. I was lucky to get most of them from a mirror site, but then that got booted offline. I actually think that this song was on there, but I was not able to download it then. In any case, Vampire Hunter Dan is an incredible musician. You are among my top favorites. Quote
Platonist Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 a Perfect Start of the new year. good job Dan Quote
Nobbynob Littlun Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Good stuff. This really stands out because the horn samples sound natural. I would have liked to hear some more tempo change. Also, I suggest for fun that you explore french horn/clarinet combos, might be useful in the future for your style EDIT: Also, might I suggest giving the PSX's Final Fantasy Tactics soundtrack a listen?

Freezard71 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Just played through this game on PSP, really excellent game. I loved the music so I came here to check... and see - the first ever remix was just uploaded! This is a great remix, orchestration fits the music nicely. Kind of slow in the start and in overall, but the last memorable tunes totally make up for it. Great work! Quote
OceansAndrew Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Solo horn started out a bit too toothless, but the rest of the track was concentrated ass-kickery. As things progress, there are fantastic dynamics used throughout, and so many details, that I forget that it's a medley. Everything just works so well together. I'd go on, but that would simply be concentrated ass-kissery, so I'll just say this song is SUPER RECOMMENDED. Quote
avaris Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 The writing and arrangement are A+++ as usual. Personally I liked how the song has this sad and somber tone to it, but transition nicely into more epic upbeat sections. This really reminds me of the Final Fantasy Tactics Soundtrack. This would fit in perfectly. Quote
better Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 yep, i admit its a nice music. Also i have PSP and can you plz tell me where to download PSP games. Just played through this game on PSP, really excellent game. I loved the music so I came here to check... and see - the first ever remix was just uploaded!This is a great remix, orchestration fits the music nicely.

Kirie Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I love this remix. It's such a beautiful orchestral piece, and each song flows so wonderfully into the next. Bravo! (Plus it is all kinds of awesome to see a Threads of Fate mix.) Quote
Martin Penwald Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 I agree to what was said about the song's structure; it doesn't seem like a medley at all, since the transitions were done so incredibly well. Personally, I favour the second part of the ReMix, as it's more upbeat, especially after the breakdown. The little speed-up at 2:02 was a nice touch, too. Quote
Atomicfog Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I love it, and I really hope to hear more Threads of Fate remixes. Quote
Moguta Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I'm not quite sure why, but I'm sad to say that previous Vampire Hunter Dan pieces haven't really done much for me. So it was a pleasant surprise when I downloaded this mix and found myself swept away. The progression between themes is handled with such smoothness that, not knowing the source tunes myself, I can't easily identify where one ends and the next begins. Also how the dynamics gradually build and fade along with the mood of the piece... combined with the superb samples & production, and orchestration that really sounds like what an orchestra would play... just stellar. I have to say, I'm hoping to hear much more like this from our Dan. I've always felt OCR could use more symphonic arrangements, especially ones so perfectly-executed. Quote
Atomicfog Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 When I first listened to this remix I wasn't paying much attention to it, and thought it to be a really nice, rare ToF remix, but the more I listen to it, the more I realize the brilliance behind it. Everything is handled with such finesse, and its quality is comparable to that of a live orchestra, or blockbuster movie. It's truly an uplifting piece, and I'm definitely going to have to keep an eye out for more VHD remixes. Quote
Lucentas Posted December 6, 2008 Posted December 6, 2008 I love this arrangement. I've listened to a lot of orchestral arrangements on here, and this is one of the pieces that gets things right. I'm not going to pretend to be some kind of expert in music theory, but the way all of the elements move and flow seamlessly with each other in an intricate dance of instruments and sections is beautiful. Very well done. Quote
timaeus222 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 This really showcases the diversity of an orchestra. 2:52 - 2:54 was a little weird, but that was minor. Overall this kind of has a flying-ship journey-like feel to it. The multiple tempo changes were pretty smooth as well. Quote
