Matthias Sachal - Barbarian (Orchestral)

Orchestral? What does orchestral mean? To use some orchestral percussions or some trumpet-like instruments? I would have expected something greater - not the Vienna Philharmonic Orchester, but something close to them So, this tune doesn't match it's title. It also lacks on variation, because Matthias keeps close on the original, instead of inventing some additions. Overall: nice.

Hmm. I have to say one thing first: This tune is one of the tunes that need a freaking good remix that's all the way faithful to the original. So in a way, I'm very glad that this remix was made in the first place. I hope it serves as an inspiration for the remixers.

As for this particular tune, I found it somewhat disappointing because it was somewhat short (The original is six and half minutes, this is a little bit over a minute…), and it's a little bit too slow too. Fight music needs to be fast! The rest of the elements of the song are pretty good; I like the use of the noises in the beginning. The instrument choices are pretty good.

But as it is, it isn't bad! I hope someone later remixes the One True Barbarian Remix. This will definitely do while waiting…

One of the main reasons this tune falls flat on it's face is the lack of quality instruments used And the rather laid back feel and simplistic nature.

As it stands, its rather bland and uninspired and has very little forward minded vision.

Well, this is one of the Remixes I've been waiting for, Matthias did an outstanding job in choosing the Instruments, they fit nicely into the spirit of the tune. He also did a good job in making the Midi Instruments sound more real with using different effects on them so they sound better than usual. I'm just a little dissapointed cause of the shortness of the tune, It could've been a little longer. All In all a very good remix (that could've been done better by using more realistic Instruments), but it satisfied me…
