ReMix:Skies of Arcadia "Legend in the Making" 3:07

Sbeast (Scott Houghton) takes on Vyse's theme for Arcadia Legends, with an invigorating orchestral rock arrangement:

"After listening to the Skies of Arcadia OST, I decided to go with Vyse's theme because I thought it would work well as an orchestral rock arrangement, similar to my previous arrangement of music from Super Smash Bros. Melee. After a few iterations, and with some helpful feedback from other contributors to the album, I think it turned out pretty well in the end."

The kick is certainly meaty, and at points the timing feels a smidge unsteady, but overall the mojo & inertia give this mix wings & keep it aloft, with some epic, larger-than-life energy at play. Album director Darkflamewolf writes:

"Sbeast was one of the first to sign onboard, since he originally tried to start an all-metal remix album of his own for the Skies of Arcadia soundtrack. Sadly, it did not pan out, but he was excited to hear another attempt was made at this endeavor and was one of the first people finished. Like his proposed project, he submitted his metal take on Vyse's theme which was our first taste for what was to come for the remainder of the album. His fantastically energetic contribution set the stage for what our expectations were to be for the remainder of the remixers who would sign on. Thank you, Sbeast, for setting the bar for the rest to follow!"

I kinda-sorta knew this beforehand, but Arcadia Legends has reinforced for me just how devoted fans of this game are, and how inspired they are by its worlds, characters, & music, many years later. Sbeast had that dedication & passion before this album even got started, and he was an early catalyst for getting things off the ground with some powerful, high-impact work. This is the fourth featured mix we've posted from Scott, each from a different album, and he always injects energy & power into each project; this is no exception. Great stuff!
