Cool, unexpected stuff from the Chef. The most conspicuous element here is a very slick upright acoustic bass, which adds a lot of flavor. This instrumental coverage of Xenogears reminded me of Protricity's Final Fantasy 5 ReMix, but really only because it has that pirates / sailor quality to it, as the title might suggest. Piano, strings, and the afforementioned bass make for a fairly minimal arrangement compared to some of the Chef's other work, but the piano part is spread over the stereo field and it's ensemble strings that also have some nice stereo movement, so the mix never feels spartan or incomplete. In fact, the ways it ebbs and flows might appropriately remind one of actually being on a ship - sort of a liquid, back and forth motion to the mixing and dynamics as well. Not as obviously catchy or accessible as some of the PC's other stuff, but I'd say it bears repeated listening quite well and is compositionally stronger in some regards. As always, sound quality is high, and overall I found this a quirky and memorable mix, with a certain atmospheric miasma to it. Recommended.
