Wow - cool stuff from Ziwtra aka Youngjin Hahn (is that a cool name or what?) - previous Terranigma submission was unique, memorable, and well-produced, in addition to being created entirely with OSS (open-source software, yo). This merging of Yasunori works from Chrono Trigger and Xenogears takes that sound one step further and develops it a bit more, with some excellent electronica nuance breakbeat work. This piece just has a beautiful flow to it, with the drums and certain synths doing their funkdafied, upbeat thing whilst pads and piano play more deliberate melodic content. Ziwtra writes: So here it is, Wind Scene (or 600 AD Theme) from CT and Shivat from Xenogears, all mixed seamlessly together into one song. And by seamlessly I mean, by a cheesy zippity zip of the turntable. : ) - well, it might be a cheesy way to transition, but at least it's GOOD turntable, in tempo, and fits the character of the mix. Programming is very tight and shows some real detail work, but at the same time the other elements of the piece aren't ignored at the expense of the beats. That, plus the fact that this merges two tracks quite fluidly into a coherent arrangement, earns some bonus points in my book. The mix of some lo-fi synth hits and beats with very delicate chromatic percussion, ambient pads, and piano just plain works. Recommended - rock solid stuff from Ziwtra.
