More Lufia II! I particularly liked these games specifically BECAUSE they "felt" different than a squaresoft game. As good as square are, I feel their stranglehold on the RPG market can sometimes be a little boring, as many of their games (though fantastic) have subtle but percievable similarities. Don't crucify me for that statement, mmkay? I'm just a Phantasy Star boy at heart, still trying to get over PSO2 being ported to a NINTENDO console of all things . . . but I digress: Pollard's second Lufia II ReMix comes fairly recently after his Sinistrals mix, which came recently after my MysteryInRed mix. So it's been a good year for Lufia II fans thus far. This is a beautiful melodic piece, centering around a moving acoustic guitar pattern and a flute, though a delicate piano gets the melody a couple times. Intro and outro with nice respective ambient fx flairs, and nice to hear brush sets being used on drum tracks instead of snare hits; lends a little jazz feel to things and more importantly doesn't cover up the very intricate orchestration and instrumentation MP obviously puts some time into. Since I feel I've been too overwhelmingly positive lately, I will say that I would have loved to hear the guitar break out of its backing mold and take on a solo itself. But man, it's a damn fine ReMix :)
