ReMix:Final Fantasy VI "Land of the Eidolons" 3:24

As we put the finishing touches on our upcoming Golden Sun album & prepare for release next week, we've got another superb arrangement from RebeccaETripp, with assistance from Nabeel:

"This is my arrangement of "Another World of Beasts" from Final Fantasy 6, originally composed by Nobuo Uematsu. This is a redux of a much older cover of this theme that I created back in 2005! The mixing, mastering, and VST work was done by my friend Nabeel Ansari."

Rebecca's production skills have improved a ton since we started featuring her music, but Nabeel's got more than a few extra tricks up his sleeve, and hearing one of her arrangements with his production+ is a treat. This dark, suspenseful, symphonic take on an FF6/Uematsu classic will send chills down your spine; Rexy evaluated:

"This track is so pretty! Arrangement-wise, it's one of Rebecca's best yet, and let me explain how. The source is dominant throughout, with some playing around with the harp arpeggio and beautiful harmonies - check. Its structure placed the straight run through at 0:38-1:51 with further development on both sides plus well-crafted layers underneath - check. And the decision to emphasize the fifth beat for the melody rather than the sixth in the source adds a more graceful feeling to it - triple check, and an echo of a similar idea from Tchaikovsky's "Arabian Dance" from The Nutcracker Suite. It's no slouch on a technical level, either - the articulations are appropriate for this softer direction, the mixdown is clean, and the humanization has a lot of overall care. Nabeel did a fantastic job with the mastering and brought Rebecca's idea to a consistent level for posting, and so I'm absolutely in favor of seeing it on the front page. Wonderful stuff!"

There's especially nice depth & detail to the softer portions of this, sequencing/emotion in the part-writing is lovely, and the suspenseful, dark, & slightly spooky atmosphere is richly evoked. Great stuff!
