ReMix:Final Fantasy VI "Smooth Alexander" 2:51

Ever since I discovered it I can't help but keep coming back to this remix. It's so... smooth! I really like how liberally the source melody is used, and...

can I just take a moment? Yes, I'd dare say this sounds a bit like elevator music. But why is that always an insult? I love elevator music! That chill carefree sound, the innocent way it works its way into the background of whatever you're doing... not every piece has to be flashy and bombastic! With this piece especially, there's even a piece of that humanity that I admit is sometimes missing in Muzak (but that doesn't mean it's bad music!!). I just enjoy the chill, semi-corporate vibe from this piece, and it so happens to remind me of elevators. Again, not a bad thing!

I miss Quinn Fox...

Nice remix. Smooth.

Ah, Quinn Foxreturns to a more chilled sound, however, I can hear the influences from his Zelda track in here concerning the drums/percussion work. A very interesting collection of rhythms. The drums drive the track in a DnB manner, but most all of the instrumental work is relaxed. In a way, Quinn made this track in a very cinematic manner when comparing it to today's film composers. Awesome! I love how the bass still remains chilled out and in that pocket. The trumpet is a little overly synthetic, but it works pretty well. I really love the flute! Excellent track Quinn. You took the best chill elements of you past mixes and combined it with the cool percussion from your Zelda track! Wonderful work!

The percussion on this one is crazy good, and the synths aren't too shabby either. The feel is completely new, and I really like it. The sounds mesh together great, and though a few samples could stand to be upgraded, like the flute, it all works out. It's rare to hear a remix that's both driving yet laid back, but this one hits that target dead on.

My one real complaint though is the somewhat weak ending- seemed a little out of place to have such a strong and varied track have an ending that just sortof died. Still great stuff.

This is pretty kickin'. I'm loving the sounds. I agree with you, Pretz, you can barely tell this is battle music. I love how the song is so familiar, yet so new. That's what I look for in remixes. Very well done. Good job, Quinn.

Yeah, definitely agreed here. Dunno why I never posted on this one. I liked stuff like "Lobby Static" and "mode serpent" a bit more, but this one was still excellent. If the volume had been louder, that would have helped. Otherwise, excellent arrangement, and nice sound choices contributing to a beautiful texture.

There needs no genius to say that this IS smooth, can´t just understand the resemblance between this and Alexander (an Esper). Meh, not that important.

As this says, this was a SMOOOOOTH remix from Quinn, a nice touch of jazz, he has taken away the tempo and stress that follows with the original and creates somethin´ with extra chill-stuff. Nice, Quinndude.

Coming here to pay homage. This remix rules.

Wow I didn't even notice this was the battle theme

Very well done, nice effects

I love Quinn Fox's work!

Hmm... interesting Battle Theme take...

However, despite my few new excursions into the jazzy area (thanks to JigginJonT), I don't think this even fits with jazz too well. It's too fast for jazz, and the jazz is too relaxing for an adrenaline-pumping song...

Now I can see where this would be good, especially to others who appreciate this branch even more than I do...

But as far as I go... not my personal cup of tea...

Good work, though I can't dig it like others...

Keep composing!

Eh. Sorry, but this just wasn't my thing. It's a good piece of music--just not a good Final Fantasy Battle Theme.

Good stuff Quinn! One of my favorties by far. I like evrything about this, and have no complaints.

10/10

Excellent Excellent work Quinn.. One of my favorites of yours.. All the effort you put into your work shines through so well. No Complaints.. My favorite part probably hits at 1:50 in the mix. Its all good.

this is my favorite FF3 mix outta them all. It's sooooo smooth flowing and I just love the jazzy type beat to it. Just an all around great mix IMHO. Great job Quinn!

There's a few wierd notes in there, but otherwise, it's an excellent remix. I can't really say much more than that, but an example of those wierd notes would be 00:30 - 00:45. I don't know if that was the intent, but they don't seem to fit in. I was thinking perhaps you wanted to depart from the original, and it does, but it's... strange.

Otherwise, good job. 8/10.

I like the effort and everything put into this, it's very different from a lot of the stuff I hear around here...but, for some reason, some parts of it sorta reminds me of elevator music. o.O Just can't get into it that much, sorry. (I feel bad for posting a bad review... sorry There WERE a few parts I did like though! Ambient stuff, very cool.
