STIL comment

"The whole thing was originally intended to be 'interactive music', responding to the different scenes in the game. I originally wrote it to work in this fashion, but as per usual in the software business, time ran out and they couldn't wait the extra three weeks to finish off the music and implement it the way I wanted. So I hacked and linked all the different bits together into one long piece." (RH) According to Hubbard, Kentilla and Delta were the most complicated one to compose, they took the longest time to do and they both drove him insane.

OVERALL REMIX64 VOTE:

8bit-army:
Some kind of art
Scyphe:
This is great. A very difficult song to cover, and you pulled it off with some great instrumentation as well. Dreamy and atmospheric. EDIT: after listening to the whole tune I decided to give it top score. This is high quality stuff with a great feeling!
Nebdar:
Excelent, it has the magic in it(Someone who lost the friend to will understand)
ifadeo:
Outstanding!!! This piece of remix could be part of a tim burton movie soundtrack
Mayhem:
For just having the balls to try doing it. Thankfully most of it comes off very well…
dafunk:
This is sounding really good! Long movie like epic piece. Great stuff.
pricer:
Excellent stuff, great use of stereo mixing for the instrumentation. Original unfimiliar to me but this is a great listen and it doesn't feel like 12 minutes, probably not everyones cup of tea though.
Cactus:
I've always dreamt of hearing this tune orchestrated, and it's finally done! Wonderful!
omoroca:
The instrumentations sounds quite cheap, but this remix has a nice romantic feel to it. Makes me feel good!
condor:
Like ifadeo said, perfect for Tim burton's movies.
Gunness:
Finally, a remix of this classic Rob tune - and a very nice remix, at that!
MORBID:
Very nice stuff!
Dumper:
A really good attempt at a tough tune, well done.
maindrian:
Good grief. The whole thing? Excellently done, lovely sounding strings/synths. I love how regal it sounds at 6:46 onwards. I wouldn't say it sounded especially movie like, more like piece of TV score. Quality though.
prowler:
Great work, but way too long… The original tune itself is not really that interesting.
LaLa:
If your arrangement is relatively simple like here, better make sure your instruments are top notch. Not the case here, they sound too synthetic and there's no dynamics to them, ergo no emotions. Great idea for the arrangement, so-so execution.
kjetiln:
Brave attempt! Unfortunately it sounds too simplisitic and artificial. I see how hard you try to give it an emotinal expression, but all notes have the same hard touch, and that doesn't sound well. But it should inspire people to remake the tune😊
Caboose:
You're right, pricer.
Dr-Duke:
Just makes me yawn and yawn again. Can't see (or hear) why this is so good rated. And it's way too long.
anaconda:
The instruments sounds a bit too syntish, a common disease for orchestra-conversions. For the tune in general I feel it lacks a lot. It sounds too simple.
