Complete with an atmospheric "sounds of preparation" intro, Jesse gives us this jazzy guitar bonanza of an MGS2 arrangement. I'm glad I heeded his advice to listen to some Pat Metheny Group before I heard this ReMix, 'cause I hear a bit of an influence that I wouldn't have caught otherwise, particular with some of the vocalizing that comes in around 1'13". Vig had some concern regarding whether the mix was appropriate for OCR: "This mix came quite spontaneously; i layed down the acoustic guitar track one night when i was playing in my room. i did all the other recording this week... the mix kind of meanders...i didnt do it with OCR in mind, so i wasnt sure if it was right for OCR. but it came out pretty well, so here it is." - I'd say that while it does meander, it does so musically, thematically, and with focus if not direction. Continuing with our recent theme, this also has a tinge of a prog sound to it. Anyone into more mellow instrumental "exploratory" jazz, esp. guitar-driven, should dig this expansive, flowing arrangement from Vigilante. It takes some risks with the vocalizing, which actually could have been capitalized on more for my money, and doesn't compromise vision for accessibility or a more familiar structure. Good, unique arranging style and a tightly played and mixed end result.

No less than an OCR masterpiece. I'm amazed every time I hear a Vig
track at how he manages to put out tracks of such consistently
superlative quality.
Darn it, Vig, come back and do another ReMix. We need more!

A great guitar piece with plenty of emotion. I could imagine Snake
listening to this while reminiscent.

i felt the ending could've been elaborated on more...not
necessarily into a climax, but just half a minute or so more build
up. as it is it creates tension that was otherwise absent but the
sudden stop is disappointing.
otherwise, not bad. very pat metheny

Very soothing. Whenever i need to think about something or just
slow down, this song is great. It's perfect for reflection and the
sound is not oppresive in the least-- it just sits in the
background and lets you drink it in. I don't mind how it meanders
at all, mostly because while you listen to it that is what your
mind is doing. Like DJP said, it kind of wanders, but with focus
and direction. Just like a thought pattern. Really nice work,
Vigilante.

Calming.. I listen to this mostly when I'm heavily stressed about
something, and it always hits the spot. A perfect combination of a
soothing solo electric guitar backed by an acoustic guitar,
creating a perfect background. The length is perfect, and the vibe
just lets you drift off to another place for a little while..
Sometimes I just close my eyes while listening to this, and it's
enough to get me out of a bad mood after having a less-than-decent
day. The speeding up at the ending is a great way to end the mix,
and sort of gives you a chance to snap back into reality before the
song ends.

Ah silly me... Of course! That makes sense!
Well.. Still a bloody brilliant song! Well done, Vig

I do [i]not[/i] remember this song from the game, probally the
credits theme but nonetheless, Vigilante did perfect capturing a
beautiful feel! The song is so calm and relaxed I just love it!
- jordex on May 5, 2005
Simply beautiful. I'm glad someone did a remix of Fortune's theme,
it was just asking to be remixed since the first time I heard it.
Awesome guitar, very peaceful, great work!

Great chill-out remix. It's very jazzy and serves well as an
atmosphere tune. Brilliant mix.

An amazing production. When the singing comes in, it really
captures the listener in the mood. There's nothing else like this
I've ever heard in my life... absolutely gorgeous.
- Annoxus on August 22, 2004
This song really calms me down while inspiring me at the same time.
I have heard many songs where the artist lays down vocals and it
simply ruins an otherwise great song, but this... this is the
epitome of how it should be done. But that's not even the majority
of the song, everything is just oozing with flavor and attitude,
and I can't get enough of what all has come together here, thanks
for this most badass interpretation, Vig.
- SirRus on August 22, 2004
Really I don't know how to describe this song. If you sit down,
alone, and listen to this song it's as if every emotion you
experience is there. It's almost like the melody of life, as
strange as that may sound. It's an indescribable song, a total
masterpiece. I don't want to get bashed by anyone but I've never
played MGS2, so I never heard this song until I downloaded this
'remix' but it was the most awesome thing I've ever heard.
Personally I listen to a lot of rap music, but even on my rap CD's,
I include this track. It's amazing. I think everyone should hear
this song, should have this song. It's a great song that totally
relaxes you, and engulfs you with a sense of understanding, and
gives you a chance to think about the things that really matter,
and gives you a chance to take a perspective look at the things
that happen in your life. This sounds like a really deep review,
but this is a very deep song for me personally. I wish I could
shake the hand of the mixer, Jesse Taub. Total masterpiece.
