Peaceful. Serene. Serendipitous, even. Newcomer spacepony gives us a really tranquil arrangement of the water music from SMW that just sorta carries you away... it's a little too waltzy, 3/4, and major-key melodic to be what I'd call truly ambient/new age, but it's certainly some mellow business. The very minimalist bass with cross-panned, rising arpeggios is quite nice, but spacepony adds some great harmony and counter-melody in that really makes the arrangement work in this extended fashion and embellishes Kondo's original. The kicker for me is the amplitude gated (more likely an LFO) synth lead that enters at 1'30" - though the harmony that follows it, with very warm piano and strings, is quite nice, the floating nature of this particular timbre and its usage here just strikes the right chord, so to speak. This is not a complex mix, yet all the elements work together and there's nothing that seems out of place or unnecessary. A little repetitive, and as mentioned not amazingly innovative, but somehow hypnotic, and having something of the appeal of a Japanese stone garden or Chinese calligraphy, where every element is in harmony with others. In a word: pleasant.
