Suzumebachi hits us up with an innovative electronica Chrono Trigger ReMix that intros with piano and static fx for that old-time nostalgic black and white film feel, then gradually filters in some beats and gets going into a solid trance groove. Judge Digital Coma's done my work for me, and I concur with the following, including his assessment of the ending: "Smooth, sexy synths from Suzu. The highlight of this mix is the seamless transition from the classy piano plus vinyl intro to the exuberant techtronics, bridged by the soft overlaying chorals and ambient trance FX. The sequencing shines, the arrangement is sound, and although the beats get repetitious midway in, it's fun and frantic all the way through. As a self-pronounced whore for climaxes, I must say that the ending is unfortunately a let down and could have been much more appealing if drawn-out and developed. Regardless, this is nicely done." - pretty much. The transition works very well, and while dramatically different from the bulk of the song doesn't just seem slapped on for effect, but an integral part. Synths and mixing are there, with programming and effects, including some nice hi-hat panning, adding nuance. The original piece is a very simple, haunting melody that doesn't really expand outside the single refrain, explaining the piece's shorter length. My sole CT ReMix thus far, from ages ago, is of the same piece, and I had to do some rather loose interpretation to stretch it out ;) Suzu gives us his own distinct version, a solid "trance with a difference" arrangement that's over quickly but fun while it lasts. Check it out.
