ReMix:Chrono Trigger "At the End of All Things" 6:03

one of my friends recommended this song to me... now i see why... it is a lovely piece of music, well put together and with a smooth quality to it (to my ears anyways).

My god this is amazing! It's everything that's wonderful about the original soundtrack and more!

Not bad work here. The glock kind of pervaded the mix for too long I think. Ultimately it goes on for a bit too long. I think the mix could have had some subtle percussion and there were some sounds that felt like they were sitting a bit too high on the mix. Overall if we could de-harshify that glock (it sounded digitally altered, which was odd compared to the lush sounding strings, etc.) then I think the mix would sound alot better.

Section starting at 1:15 is my favorite part of the song

Indeed! Also the part from 2:13, when the song just starts all over is done very well and i have to mention the differences from the first part of the song (especially from 3:19 till the end). It´s not just copied from before, I really love those kind of details in a song/remix!

I really love this song It´s one of many remixes from this page which found a way on my flashdrive for the daily way to work and back

The mix reminds me of something one might here in some nature film; like the initial chimes would be timed with water dripping off a leaf, etc.

It has this weird mechanical/hydraulic precision going about it, and I can't really think of where else I've heard it.

Yet, it is completely placid and organic; a very contrasting and complicated mix and worthy of being listened to.

If I would ever have to define music putting you in awe, this is the perfect definition for it. This is absolutely so tasteful that is has become one of my top favorites to OCremix list. Smooth, calm, makes you think or maybe focus on something (or not), but this is really something. I'm glad I found this based on the reviews.

Thank you guys for the reviews for helping me find this. A+ must listen!

I like that this doesn't sound directly like most other Chrono Trigger orchestral fare. There's a restraint, and perhaps a focus on serenity or reflection. Either way, I feel there is more going on than simply updating and rearranging melodies here. And whoever said that it channels the scores of Miyazaki's films, you are spot on.

The flow is really nice, it keeps at a constant rate, which at 6 minutes may be to its detriment, but the variation in themes deviates the ear somewhat from noticing the fatigue of the piece. I thought the Fair Theme was very welcome and nicely arranged, and I didn't even mind the gratuitous Zelda cameo. If it fits, it fits, and everything fits together quite pleasingly. I enjoyed this a lot.

I've liked this arrangement for a while. I never noticed the Zelda theme until now, nice touch. Overall, the change of instruments throughout the piece really keeps things moving, wonderful job on that.

The unfortunate thing is that Abadoss doesn't have the time/money/etc to really get some good sounds. Arranging in Finale is one thing, and he does that very well. Getting it done with some good sounds is totally different. Wouldn't it be great if we all had access to all those programs? I know I'd at least by trying to mix more if that were the case.

This is a 6 minute track that the panel judged 3 times before it passed. So I was definitely surprised by djp's writeup criticism of this mix back when it went up, because it was only then that I noticed that the tempo indeed never changed throughout the course of the track.

But instead of being put off by that, or feeling that I missed a significant flaw in the arrangement, I only sat back and smiled at how impressed I was with the dynamics of the piece. IMO, the various changes in the instrumentation were extremely effective in making the piece feel fresh throughout.

I'm not saying this should be studied like Beethoven, but Kenneth's piece is nonetheless a great example of how to create a fluid, energetic piece despite fixing the tempo in place. Great stuff.

Mechanical but expansive. The arrangement is great, but it does sound like a PS2 track. There are some nice additional ideas, and overall it's spread out to be more atmospheric.

Pretty decent.

wow.. i cant believe how much criticism this got and how hard it was to officially submit this.

ive always LOVED this remix for many reasons.. it has such an amazing vibe to it.. it makes me feel like im in the CT world for sure. i love listening to this track if im ever going out for a walk at night.

anyway, im really greatful for this remix. thank god it was eventually accepted.

It's a very light mix. He makes great use of the bells throughout the piece. And the flute in the back links the individual chimes together. Well Done.

I def love the arrangement on this, I find it very catchy and chill to listen too. I've actually had this on my OCR playlist for months and still come back to listen to it. My thanks for working your ass off on this one, it shows.

This is absolutely beautiful. Some of the more interesting arrangement work I've heard on this site. You're extremely talented, Abadoss, and I hope you keep writing music!

Agree that the themes are defined too loosely, but the way the songs capture the mood is amazing. A-
