Newcomer Marc Star gives us a great, if brief and a bit repetitive Chrono Cross ReMix, with a pleasant beat, swirling guitars, ocarina/flute lead, and just an overall nice sound to it. Hard not to listen to and at least get into a little with the upbeat dance-ish drums and mellow, lush intermingling of guitar and synths. Judges agreed that while brief and not extraordinarily daring, this mix had the right stuff, but there was a small problem - the original file submitted had a good 15-20 seconds of unnecessary trailing silence at the end. It delayed the process somewhat to track down Marc and get a fixed version, but for the just-under two and a half minutes of tunage he's provided, it was certainly worth taking the time. Great opener ReMix from out of left field, and hopefully a harbinger of things to come from Marc Star (just without the silence next time, kay? ^^) - groovy stuff, check it out.

This and the Pankcake Chef's song of Chrono Cross are the two best C C remixes on this site...10/10 bro

I love the arrangement. I don't believe it necessarily HAS to be complicated to be nice, I like this song's simplicity.
Did you use real guitarwork or a sampler? It sounds like a sampler, and sounds a lot like the one used in FFX (Blitzball, i think...). I would love to get my hands one that one! Where did you get it?

I have this song set to wake me up in the mornings. It is very easy to listen to. Marc hasn't done that many remixes - but this one has a beat similar to his Wild Arms RosettaRefrain remix. I think Marc has an affinity for this rhythm which is good, because I like it too.
I have to admit that I've never actually heard the original version of CrossFire, but I really do enjoy this remix. That should be testament to the quality of this mix. A lot of songs fly through pure nostalgic value; this one however stands on its own. I hope Marc does some more great ones like this one. Cheers mate!

I personally got caught by the teacher humming and whistling this song countless number of times. =P
I rate this mix 10/10
in fact I'm listening to it right now as I post this.
Good job Marc. I expect more remixes like crossfire. You might have a potential as a composer.

This mix is definitely one of my all-time favorites. It's absolutely beautiful.

From the first second of this track, I knew I'd love it. The guitar work is amazing and the rest of first minute is so breezy and relaxing but it keeps you excited and on the edge with this mix of an upbeat undertone and the woodwind instrument. And the rest of it is unforgettable. The piano is amazing. I just love how you took the tune, gave it a general beat and atmosphere and then explored it on different grounds, and by that, I mean instruments and you showed how each of those instruments can interpret the original tune differently but still stay true to the original as well. Really, I'm not sure how much sense that made, but bottom line, this is amazing and I'm struggling to find ways to describe how I feel about it. What more can I say? Keep these coming!

Man first off i want to say that the original chrono cross music is some of my favorite in all of video games, and this just made it so much better. This is just mindblowing, awesome job!

I never knew that the electric guitar could be so relaxing. Great job.

Hi there ^_^
OMG!!! This melody is SO sool.... there are soft moments... and also hard moments.... it is perfect!

This is probably one of the more concise first submitions. Although short, it provides wonderful sound quality and arrangement. I love the smooth laid back almost jazz-ish feel, with wonderful new chord progressions and harmonies. Instrumentation is great. Marc Star is great at providing short but awesome remixes (except BootyMix, which is longer :P).

I love the juxtaposition between the bambo flute and the electrict guitar. Time's Scar is a great song that you can do so much with. thank you Marc Star.

- DragonFireKai on August 25, 2004

Very nice. Definitely worth a download, even for 56K users.
EDIT: *5 or so hours later...* Let me tell you, this song is really, really good ;) One of the best remixes on the site.

- lord-of-shadow on November 5, 2003

Man this is a great song! 1:15 is a great part, I cant get that part out of my head somtimes, which in this case isnt a bad thing.

- .IceWinter. on September 4, 2003

true there is nothing that sticks out in this song besides everything mixes so well, but, there is nothing to diss about this song either, it is a really great song, and i believe that Marc has a great future as a remixer
