ReMix:Chrono Trigger "Calamitous Judgment" 5:12

The ending of this one really clicks with me for some reason.

You'd never know this was a debut mix. zircon at his most embryonic. While this lacks some of the refinement that further years of expertise would award, it is still of extremely high calibre.

I like that this is very much bound to the classical roots of the source, and despite having dance conventions and sounds, it never really lowers into actually danceable territory. This isn't club music; it's closer to IDM, though with heavy emphasis on melody.

Samples are really great from the get-go. The pacing is superb and the arrangement is consistent with the quality of the mix. I think much better arrangements from zircon were still to come and I would say that is the area where he has made the biggest improvements. But debuts are rarely this strong or well-defined. I think this gains a lot of listening in retrospect.

A few of the more legato samples haven't aged as well, but gdamn does the rest of this hold up strongly- excellent pacing, tight beats, and a real dramatic flair make this a killer mix all the way through. It contains a lot of cool zircon stylistic choices that with the benefit of hindsight have only been expanded upon in the past 6 years. The level of expansion is really good as well, with a lot of additions and some breakdowns too, and a solid flow.

Excellent stuff, and a stellar first sub. Also cool that it was the first song Larry ever YES'ed. Historic remix!

The bombast and flare of this song, turning a suspenseful tune of worry and fret into hyped-up symphonic bliss keep me coming back time after time. Even the slower parts of this song just give off a hyped up, edge of your seat with worry feeling.

Another song I can't get enough of. The strings totally make this ReMix worth it.

Zircon's work is always ear candy for me. The song was mixed well and i just purely just loves this, so thankyou.

WOW! I maybe a little late but damn this is a good remix, probably one of my top 10 of all the remixes. 5 minutes and 11 seconds of pure audio joy for me!

GREAT WORK

Several of my girls are doing their floor routines to this mix this season, and it's a huge hit at the gym.

Very interesting execution. Taking a orchestral piece, such as Kingdom Trial and making it into a Dance tune is common, but rarely do people still maintain the link to the orchestral segment of the original track.

When I was downloading this one I was thinking like this: "A 'Trial' remix... must be ordinary stuff!"

Oh my... I was wrong! DAMN wrong! Incredible remix! A masterpiece! You are a genius, zircon!

This is incredible. I really liked the Kingdom Trial and this piece kicks it up to a whole new level.

This is my fav remix currently

Awesome remix. One of the first

I downloaded and I still haven´t regret it.

One of my top 5 from the site.

Very enthralling and amazingly cohesive for such a fast-paced melody.

Is it just me, or does this sound a lot like Kefka's theme from Final Fantasy 6?

I hadn't read the description, and I was trying to figure out what song from Chrono Trigger it came from, because I could have sworn it was a take off of kefka's theme.

So it's not just you =), maybe it's just the two of us... .

great

5/5

WOW. This is one of the best remixes on the site, period. Your Triforce Majeure inspiration spurred you on to possibly equal that song on your FIRST SUBMISSION.
