This FF9 You are not alone ReMix from newcomer Sonicade doesn't take too many risks, but it's well-produced, enjoyable stuff nonetheless, and I found myself really getting into it. The addition of a great guitar solo (credited to Spongah) certainly helps the sonic variety, and the harmonic overtones when the bell timbre covers the melody are nice. The introduction, before the meatier, interestingly syncopated drums come in, actually sounds like it could be a song by The Police. Some of the running synth patterns beneath the guitar solo add nice motion; in general, there's good attention to the little extra details that contribute towards a full, dynamic mix that's got a lot of groovy stuff going on. The piece is a bit short; I could easily have seen the guitar coming in for a second go-round, only this time doing some balls-to-the-wall soloing and improvisation, and the fadeout ending in this context is underwhelming. However, this capitalizes on the strength of the original melody, is well-mixed (I especially like the balance on the percussion between complexity and tasteful restraint), and the guitar solo just works; it's the type of melody that lends itself perfectly to a meaty electric lead guitar solo, ala Terra. Short, not especially innovative, but certainly sweet. Good first mix from Sonicade - check it out.
