Well, it's just been Final Fantasy madness around here lately. Enough to drive a Phantasy Star-head like me crazy :) JK - actually, these submissions from FF lately have been STELLAR, very high quality, and first-time contributor AYREZ adds his name to the list with a great initial offering of . . . you guessed it . . . the prelude. Sixty years from now, I'm going to be humming this thing on my death bed, after hearing it so many times. But, at least it's different every time. If ever there was a testament to the mutability, longevity, and flexibility of Uematsu's music, his prelude would seem to be it. Hard techno here, with a devastating downbeat and great trance synth textures. The syncopation on the main melody during the intro is poifect, and when the jumpin' octave bass comes in, it's party time. Immensely danceable, I would say. Check out the filtered drum lead-in at 1'20" and the lovely low-end distorted synth that comes after. I would have preferred a big bang ending to the fade-out, but that's my main gripe, everything else is pretty dern solid. Great first submission, yet another great FF mix, and yet more great coverage of the prelude theme, which gets a lot of loving. I need a thesaurus for some synonyms for "great" real bad, I 'spose :) Check it.
