I can't believe somebody actually remixed this song. I remember this song so well. I thank you so much for making a remix of it. You hit it very well and didn't miss a single beat. Well done.

A fight between two warriors. One who plans to revive the world as a new world, and the other who plans to save us all. The battle is at large, and others around the world are taking sides. The flames of destiny are upon us, as the wind takes hold of the skies, the waters clash against each other, and the earth rumbles filling no terror or fear within anyone battling upon the field, we call Planet Earth. A battle so fierce... you'd think it were a war, when the war is happening between the two choosing sides. The greater good overcomes the dark one and sends him to his doom, but spares his life.
"The world is run on power, not violence. Take away the power, and you leave and empty shell."
- The-Great-One (2008)
A magnificent piece if I must say and in Classical Rock I certainly am surprised. However I felt it was a bit too short, but as you described, the PC limitations. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
Sincerely,
The-Great-One

hey TGO! Thank you for the story first off!
I enjoyed the description of such epic proportions, however your quote though valid, I must disagree with you.
I don't disagree in the sense that power and violence are different, and that the world is in fact not run purely off it, but power is earned through the prospect of violence.
But only if the definition of violence is expanded to suit a general purpose. Economical violence, spiritual violence, environmental violence. All these factors combined, these qualities together form power. For a nation or man whom holds no potential for these violences is deemed without power.
Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! Once again, thank you for the story! Well written and enjoyable!

A nice extension to the song, I must say... but you do have the voice to provide vocals you just need lessons. You've done yet another great job on this piece, but to be honest I liked the other one with the lyrics... learn to sing and you can do great things with your songs.

Hey great,
I suppose it was me feeling a bit embaressed for thinking it was a great idea when I should have thought about I didn't have the right equipment, nor the lessons. I do appreciate your compliments, maybe someday I'll improve it, maybe not, all good to me :).

Like a love scene... sigh. Peaceful, serene, and quite majestic in it's own way. The piano was a magnificent way of presenting this, but I believe an orchestrated version will put this to shame.

A serenade of greatness... it truly is something wonderful. Something nice to wake up to in the morning. Very beautiful, from violin to piano. Excellent work.

The song was very well done and I did enjoy the lyrics... but your voice wasn't the best thing in the world to tell the truth. You have a good voice and with a little work you could be a great singer. I would love to hear your next piece as well as more of your earlier works as well. Work on your vocals some more or find someone else to sing and you'll be ready to go.

Hey great one,
Appreciate the honest feedback, I was a little reluctant at first with the idea of doing it but you'll never know till you try, right? I sing every time I drive and enjoy it but I figured my ears hear it differently than others. Thank you again for the listen :)

Kid Icarus was truly a remarkable video game and I'm so happy that we can get some magnificent remixed Kid Icarus music on Newgrounds now. Thank you for making this, you did a superb job on it.

This could be useful in a Tetris game as a panic theme for when your bricks start getting to high. But as for a piece to listen to just by itself, I wouldn't recommend it. Nice for a game though.

It has a nice balance of Trance and techno... but what I really love is how it loops perfectly! Right when it ended to start over it's like the song never even stopped. That is what I found truly awesome... I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it was nicely done. I found at some points in the song that I was getting quite sleepy, to where the song was boring me a bit, but then it would reach a point of waking me up. Outstanding job I must say... keep up the good work.

The looping wasn't intentional 0.0 I only just found out now xD
Anyways, I can see where your coming from with that, I will improve :D

You truly have captivated me with this audio. Too bad I don't have a critique system for Audio yet or I would certainly give this great points. I'm not a Drum N Bass fan, but you've certainly done an outstanding job in remixing Bittersweet Symphony. You my boy are going to do great things... Great things.
You brought the classical piece with the new jive of music in the 90's and came out through and through. Superb work.
Sincerely,
The-Great-One
