Our first SaGa Frontier ReMix arrives courtesy of newcomer Chaos, who gives us a dramatic baroque & orchestral arrangement of Facinaturu's theme that has some interesting transitions, pauses, and instrumentation that kept our Judges' attentions. Exposed as they are, the cymbal crashes were cited for sounding a tad artificial, and most of the Judges agreed the piece could have been longer and more developed, but in just over two minutes Chaos does at least vary things quite a bit, opening with a Castlevania-esque, baroque classical guitar with backing strings and pizzicato arpeggios. Things then swell abruptly, a cool, sweeping harp run happens, and then . . . silence. I actually think the pause works quite well, myself. There's full ensemble strings, brass, and in the ending section a running snare and a decided upwards tempo change. All in all, I like the decisions Chaos made as to stops, starts, tempo changes, and overall instrumentation. Though the samples used are by and large of a high quality, they're not mixed to give much definition, with the exception of the opening, and some of the percussion was iffy as noted. However, this is good work - interesting and different from a lot of our orchestral mixes. Perhaps at times melodramatic, but I've never had a problem with that myself. Good, pretty mature first ReMix from Chaos, showing much promise.
