ReMix:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening "Full Moon Cello" 5:49

I hear dat devil's interval, though I'm not really bothered by it; for me the dissonance stopped at 2:00.

yeah, it sortof resolves, it just doesn't have any harmonic support so it just sounds to me like a few wrong notes. No big, there are plenty of other songs to listen to on the site for me, and I am sure there are plenty of people who enjoy this song.

I didn't even notice anything there. Doesn't even sound like you're listening to the correct track. Nothing but smooveness here.

I was jammin until 1:55 - definitely not digging the dissonance there. Gross.

Otherwise nice simple piece, not bad.

Man, this really screams out "dark, dripping cave" with the echoing bells and the haunting cello/violin combination. While it does go on a bit long for me, it's a great tune for backgrounding while you working as well as opening an album up. Not bad at all.

Just listened to the album through for the first time, and am now commenting on all the posted mixes. I was a little surprised it didn't kick off with the classic Zelda theme present in Threshold of a Dream, but after that first listen through I see that this is a perfect choice for an opening track.

It does go on a little long (for an opening album song - so I don't hold that against it on its own), but that's no bad thing really when it's so meticulously constructed and interesting to listen to, whilst still being ambient enough to switch off to. A very intriguing track indeed.

i'm not hearing the dissonances that you guys are mentioning - particularly considering i've listened to this track over two hundred times, according to my iTunes. i think what you're saying is dissonance is simply suspensions and other tension tones. expand your ears it's those color tones that give the track so much character.

No, dude, there's dissonance. There's no need to be so defensive about it. I don't need to "expand my ears" any more than I strive to do daily.

Assumptions about open mindedness are rude.

Theophany is finally shining! I can't wait until you guys hear his songs from the Wild ARMs project. IT'S FIRE.

I love this song, though. You did a great job again man!

Assumptions about open mindedness are rude. I've heard better use of dissonance. Actually, I think it's extremely well used around 02:30-03:00, I was just too turned off by the beginning to notice much anything else (except the very good instrumentation).

Holy...

Wow, this is amazing! The atmosphere put forth here is so rich and vivid; it really feels like I'm listening to this in a cave. I can almost swear that I hear actual cave-esque sound effects scattered throughout this track.

I can definitely see why this was chosen to lead off the album.

Dissonance: haters gonna hate.

I hear the dissonance WillRock is talking about. The arranged chords and the original melody don't totally work together. To me it sounds like the vibraphonist is messing up the take, while the rest of the ensemble sounds absolutely great.. and that just ruins it for me, frankly. Happily, other people are able to enjoy it, but if the parts worked better together, I'm sure they would enjoy it more too.

For shame, djpretzel: You completely missed the fact that this was remix #2,000 in the "All Remixes" list.

How's it feel to finally get another mixpost after 6 years, Jason? This track is really incredible, it tackles the ambient feel of the original but beefing it up tenfold with pristine bells and percussive sounds, and some very cool acoustic drumkit work that you wouldn't necessarily think would work as good as it has. I feel like the arrangement does drag on for a little longer than it needs to, but it's great for ambient listening and such.

Congrats on the mixpost; to everyone reading, rest assured that this isn't the last you'll hear from Theophany in the near future, he's got some absolutely stunning stuff coming down the pipeline!
