ReMix: Suikoden II 'Reminiscence(DeepSleep)'
I never played this game but I always wanted to . . . of course, I can say that about a depressing number of great RPGs. Working for a living has its upsides (money!) and its downsides (no time!). Right. If you took a beautiful steinway piano and arranged a beautiful track on it, full of emotion and melancholy, then . . . played it underwater . . . it might sound something like this. I mean that as a compliment, however: essentially what we have here is a nice extended ReMix of Suikoden 2 BGM played on a quality piano patch that would otherwise be filed as 'straight instrumental', but because of a wash of reverb, subtle strings, and what sounds like lowpass filtering, it instead is much more appropriately labeled 'Ambient' as it achieves a very distant, watery, epic-yet-somber feel. Not exactly musical prozac, and you can't dance to it (unless you're Mustin, maybe ^^), but it's a very professional and emotional submission you should definitely check out.

There is a high pitched drone going on here, but this source song
is one of my all time favorites. This remix is just an extended
version of the original though, with no new additions, and a very
slightly slowed tempo.
I love the song and this mix a ton, but you can hear almost this
exact same version on the original soundtrack.

So let it be known I have an abnormal hearing range. It's not Dog
like, but there is a high pitch whine throughout this entire song.
I hope this isn't the watery sound you people were talking about. I
was wondering why I got a headache every time I listened to it. Fix
this whine and you've got me sold.
I guess that's the downside of having a nice soundcard and phones.
It is just this song and it's not a hardware/software issue. I get
it in winamp, WMP, itunes, and my nano (but not my old mini because
I don't think it could play that. Also it's not my headphones
because I got it on my earbuds and my full headphones.
As for the review of the song, it needs more variation. besides
just adding violin harmony. It has tension and resolve but no
dynamics to flow it with the exception of the bridge around 1:50.
I'm only really critical because of the pitch though. I like the
song and what the artist developed-- melody and variations and all.

The pads and piano approach, especially with as dark and creamy a
piano as this, lends itself to beautiful reflective music. You've
executed that idea wonderfully. Very nice Hazama.

This one's always been a favorite of mine. The ethereal piano
processing is absolutely perfect and though the composition itself
may lack complexity, it is an emotionally impacting performance.

This mix reminds me a lot of the Gundam SEED Soundtrack. They were
huge fans of the distortion technique (hope that's the correct way
to describe how it sounds) used on the piano in this song. I love
it!

Wow, this is the second rather old (02) mix that my playlist has
shuffled to.. and I am blown away. It doesn't make me feel sad,
except that it reminds me of when I was little, and I'd play the
piano at my grandmother's before she died.

10 or so seconds into this mix and I had one of those real relaxing
"Whoooooa..." feelings go over me. Maybe it was just coincidence,
or maybe it was the mix, I don't know. But either way, I like this.
Perfect ambient-like stuff.
- Stalwart Jester on September 12, 2005
Wow what can I say.....this piece is so calm and emotive.....I can
feel it grip me and speak to me
Really nice

A really nice remix, soft and quiet, it caress ears like a breeze,
i like this type of stuff.
- sirion on August 2, 2004
This one is good, too.
- Kebis on July 24, 2004
I really love these soft mixes, and if you ever played this game
you'd realize why it was so sad. Whenever I get a mix, if I had
played the game, I have to remember exactly where it came from in
the game. And as I listen to it, it takes me back to that part of
the game. This song did a very brilliant job at doing just that.
Very nice remix ;).

This remix of reminiscence has to be one of the most beutiful piano
scores I have ever heard. I love the way they put the music
together, it is perfect. Now I know the reason why they called it a
deep sleep remix, I almost fell asleep!
- BuuUrns on September 15, 2003
All I have to say is "Ahhhhhhhh".... This mix was one of the most
peaceful mixes I have heard. The Piano was beautiful and the
strings were wonderful.
Very nice soothing Re-mix, it almost put me to sleep.
Thanks for the remix

My first review, and I couldn't have reviewed a better mix.
When I first heard the original tune in Suikoden 2, I cried. Last
time a piece of game music made me cry was the ending/credits music
to Lufia 2.
Oddly with this mix, as pretzel stated, when I close my eyes and
listen..I imagine an underwater scene. It brings me peace, but also
takes hold of my emotions. It's a beautiful piece indeed, filled
with emotion.
I believe that if the composer of the original could hear this,
they'd be astonished and moved to tears.
So thank you Hazama, for creating a piece that's made me cry even
more than the original has.
- Mina on May 20, 2003
I love this song so much.
It's always been of great service to me.
Big thanks to Hazama for making one of my top five favourite pieces
from this site.
It's really, really good.
