Topic: What're your thoughts on the Rondo remake's music?

[superDioplus]

From those what we already heard ones, like Slash, Cross a Fear, Red Dawn(Don't know if this is the new stage's trackname or not) and etc.

Has the new blood done anything fresh or continued the legacy?

I haven't hear them all yet, but I really like Beginning.

BTW: Nice avatar. Zhao Yun rocks, but is no match for the mightly Lu Bu!

While I think it's inferior to its DoS version, I like how Dance of Illusions opts for a more epic feeling. I never did like RoB's version. 

I actually like this new version of Beginning, considering I've never liked the song before. o_O

And I'm glad that got rid of that stupid thump-thump in Cemetary.

It feels incredibly fresh.

I've heard about 12 tracks, and each of them was very enjoyable. The only one that I truly have any angst against was the Boss theme.

[Dark Nemesis]

I've heard 13 tracks and most of them sound great!!

 What i don't like is the remix of cemetary. Also the boss theme is great and dance of illusions remix rock's!!

Dance of Illusions really was great. That was perhaps one of the most energetic and best renditions ever made of it. I would go as far as saying it was better than the original.

I really enjoy the game's mix of Dance of Illusions as well.

Really? How so? Aside with the fact that the music in DXC is superior in terms of sound quality, I feel that Dance of Illusions in DXC is a far more elaborate and creative version than that which was featured in Dawn of Sorrow.

*Shrug* I think the DoS version was more powerful in its effect.

I can't really argue much with opinion. I guess it's just a differentiation in taste. That's what makes all the remixes fun, because it gives us all something new to enjoy...until the remixing gets WAY old...

[elbryan42]

I heard about half of them, and I quite frankly don't like them that much. Michuru Yamane is seriously slipping over the years.

Now the originals, they NEVER get old. Thank god there's supposed to be a music selection option.

This time it isn't precisely Michiru, but primerely her newbies. She hired a bunch of underdogs to remix things for her while she worked on a few of the tracks and also composed a new ending for Symphony.

Regarding that, I will now ever-so eloquently state my opinion: THANK FREAKING WHIPPIN' GOODNESS GOOD RIDDANCE YA CRAPPY SONG!!!!

I'm overjoyed about the termination of "I am the Wind". More like "I am the flatulance of uninspiration"  That song was garbage!

[CVfan13]

From what I've heard, the music sounds awesome!!! I can't wait for this game!!

And just because I know how excited you are about this: Also SotN will finally be in your possession.

By themselves, I rather liked the remixed versions of the older songs.. which were remixed from older songs previously. Hm. The Rondo only music remixes seemed to range from could be better to pretty good.

The music to me fits quite well with the remade stages it is associated with, the whole package fits together fine with me.

The only stage (overall) that didnt fit was the new stage, and the music (Red Dawn) along with it. The whole thing just sticks out like a sore thumb, especially the serpent boss.
