ReMix:Chrono Trigger "Door to the End of Time" 5:34

Gangara? You can't possibly be seriously hating on the Radical Dreamers soundtrack... Can you? That's a physical impossibility which I refuse to believe exists!

Spite for such a ridiculous comment aside, I've always quite liked this arrange, however the pacing sometimes is a bit too slow.

Transitions were ranged from really good to mediocre, and as a medley, it lives or dies based on the handing off between one theme and another. Overall I enjoyed it though, nice work dude. I think this would sound awesome as a performed piece.

I love the sequencial nature of the piece. It encompasses the entire first quarter of the game in a nutshell. I love this mix, just like the entire Chrono Symphonic CD, Great Job guys.

D.J Jabberbox, i'm going to asume you didn't mean that. just because the technology used to create Chrono Trigger was inferiror to the tech used for chrono cross doesn't mean that Chrono Cross had better music! Take for example, every musical score except for Leena's theme, Time's scar, time of the dreamwatch, kids theme, the frozen flame, and the sad themes, every single one of them sucked! My theory is that when he was writing the battle theme for Cross, Yasunori was drunk! and I know that it was lofted from radical dreamers wich is probobly why it sucked so much. they should have used the unreleased battle track from trigger.

also, the music in trigger was perfectly synchronised with the storyline, whereas in cross, lets face it, kids personality didn't exactly match her theme musics. and the time devourer's theme, the final dungeon theme, and indeed the ending theme, left much to be desired. Radical Dreamers just didn't meet the right standards, i mean, it was a cool song and all, but it just didn't provide the same sort of closing feel as To Far Away Times.

I didn't mean the music itself, I meant the sound quality...

sorry about that ^^;

This is how you make music.

Just ungodly.

Thank you for this.

Why, for the love of Alla, does everyone keep remixing ChronoTrigger? Everyone knows that ChronoCross is by far the musically superior game in the series. Well, at least, I know that... 3 cheers for Mitsuda!

Anyways, I didn't have as much a problem with the samples in the track so much as it didn't really go anywhere. I felt that I was just kinda hangin' out in a ditch or something... just kinda waitin'... fer the train... is that the train? No, just my brain bein' bored. Well, that's kinda harsh; I don't mean that. The mix is pretty and all; I'm fallin' asleeep.

well, you see, Chrono trigger was better liked , story and playwise. and alone, CC is bettersoundwise, I ,mean the fact that the audio quality is better, so it would be easier to understand the music(theoretically)

not only creating a musical induced mood, but also one based from memory

Overall very nice, reminds me somehow of holst's jupiter in the somewhat playful use of themes. As for suggestions from someone with little musical aptitude, I would say bring the theme at 2:15 out more powerfully and possibly run with it a little more. The end also sorta dies out without a fight. Leaves one expecting a powerful finisher, but it doesn't come.

It's really gqite nice, it would make a great overture to "chrono trigger, the musical!".

About time that Blizihizake made an another remix. His Set Sail was excellent, and I could hear some of the samples from it here too.

the beginning of it is quite fitting. The End of Time is, to be exact, nothing unless of two rooms that floats in nothingness. Yeah, it's weird alright, and you felt it in the music. When the strings started playing, you thought it was getting serious, then it fell and started playing strings instead. Aaaand then it builds up again, continues with its stringplay, but this time it at least get a little further in process. I got a little sceptic when it suddenly changed over to frog's theme, it happen too abrupt, although it happened with soft instruments.

But then it went good again, the reinforcements consisiting of church bells and some heavier orchestric instruments really made an impressed smile in my face. Beautiful stuff. Then it went even happier, and I love that part when that strange instrument I don't the name of jumps onto the scene right after the piano. Spiced this remix up with some new cultural flavours. Then Bliz smoothed everything out by letting the strings and the harp run on autopilot until it faded out.

No major wrongs with the music, great stuff. My only problems may be the wide selections of themes used in this remix, and also how the remix didn't really fit with the feel it was supposed to have. This was the End of Time, but after you've listened a while to it, you suddenly think that it's about fields full of pretty flowers. Nothing wrong with happy remixes OR flowers, but I felt that most of the remix's joyful attitude didn't suit the situation in the story.

Or maybe it did? I must check the script for that thing......

Anyhew, great follow-up of an remix Blake/Blizihizake.

I rarely review remixes, because I really don't have a musical ear, nor the ability to really isolate things I do or don't like about a particular piece of music.

I'm not sure about this piece, however. I like the genre of the music, and god knows I love the source... but for some reason, I just don't think it flowed together so well. Perhaps if the "main" notes of the individual themes were a bit stronger, it would make it easier to follow.

Yes, this is exactly why I don't review remixes. I don't know what the hell im saying.

I'm a little surprised that this song, out of all on the project, made it here, since some of the others are really fantastic. As for this song, it's decent, and the quality of the samples is good (but then, judging a song by the quality of its samples is nearly as bad as judging a game by its graphical content), but the arrangement just completely loses its energy around halfway through the mix (Around 3:40). The next 10 seconds are positively bombastic, and probably should have been thrown out of the mix.

Overall, the first half is good, but the second needs work.

Care to elaborate why? I'm curious.

Ditto. I'd love critique, and am always willing to improve my stuff. I was afraid some would be disappointed by this, and my fear was confirmed (if it was on the arrangement aspect of things.)
