I have been known to make remixes for games other than Phantasy Star, occasionally.

This is a habit I'd like to cultivate as it would broaden my horizons and give me visibility.

Have you ever played Faxanadu on the NES back in the late eighties? Awesome game. A lot like Zelda 2: The adventure of Link but with a happy mix of Christian, Norse and Hindu mythology (where else would a bishop teach you a mantra so you could go save the world tree by beating the king of dwarves?)

Well, I remixed a song and it is glorious.

Because glorious is what I do.

I love you all.

Edit: in case you're curious, since this is not from a PS game, this is the original song from the game.

Really good stuff, very beautiful and emotional piece. I remember talking to you about it a while back, and I still haven't played Faxanadu, unfortunately, so I'm not familiar with the original, but I like this one a lot, really makes me want to play the game. I like the moral advice given at about 2:15, too, ha ha, happened to click back over and see it and laughed.

Never played the game, but after hearing the original, it's kind of sad that they didn't make better use of the NES's sound chip. It does sound really nice remixed with pianos and strings.

Thanks both of you. I had a great time doing this.

My next two remixes should be PS and maybe one more, eh Bragatyr? ;-)
