Every so often I do a check at
Overclocked Remix and go through a few of the newer songs. Usually there's something I like well enough to keep around and, occasionally, there's something downright awesome. Tonight I came across the later.
Cantata for Dancing: I. Mors ego sum mortisIt's a remix of Dancing Mad theme (final battle music from FFVI) and falls into the catagory of remixes that work to update old music as opposed to taking it in another direction. What sets this apart is that it sounds pretty high end and if Final Fantasy VI came out today (or a remake), I'd expect the music to sound pretty much like this. I'd actually almost say it beats out One Winged Angel now as coolest Final Fantasy Boss music. I always loved the music, but to hear it like this is quite a treat. So yeah, download it.
Also, I came across another FFVI remix by Jeremy Soule. THE Jeremy Soule. It was his way of showing his support for stuff like OC Remix and paying homage to Nobuo Uematsu. Pretty cool. It's also an update of a song, this time the main theme from the game. It's worth a download as well.
