Parallax (Train to Parallax mix) - arranged by Aki Kivela

Review by guru512, 13/08/2011

I bet I have listened to this remix a hundred times already. There are no wrong notes in the melody as somebody suggested, certainly none that would hurt my delicate ears.

This remix creates a very nice brooding atmosphere. I really like the arpeggios (or whatever that is called) in the 2nd and 3rd voice melody.

At 2:44 the main melody starts with a nice flute. The whole composition is so good it nearly brings tears to my eyes.

I especially like the way he uses the bassline and drums to make this song so powerful, when he weaves parts without bassline and drums and then at 4:39 the bass and drums kick in again. Very powerful and well done!

Sacred Armour of Antiriad - arranged by GZILLA

Review by guru512, 07/05/2003

I have played this game through a few times, and listened to the title song about a 100 times I guess.

Listening to the original sid gives me a creepy feeling. I can feel the danger ahead, hear the mysterious machines waiting to kill me, getting uneasy because of all that radiation around me. But then the song really starts getting powerful with some tempo increase which tells me I can make it to the top if I give my best, and take out that alien-machine.

This remix of the side doesn’t bring up much of those emotions in me though.
It starts with a piano played a bit too calm/soft/emotionless and some
strings (of the type I have heard in too many songs).
The mood is more that of a sad lovesong than a journey into the unknown.
I guess I’m also deeply missing the second piano voice.
At 0:58 where the song should really get going, it just switches instruments instead and repeats the starting part again (including some echoes, which sounds amateurish to me).

The part starting at 2:10 brings back some of the sid's creepy atmosphere, and is artistically much better.
The sample of the powering up of the Antiriad-Suit fits very well in the end.

This is my 1st review. I’m neither good musician nor native English speaker, but I loved to play that game so I had to review this remix -guru
