    Certainly above average. I liked the fact that you didn’t stick to the original structure of the chrysilis. I also like the key changes partway through as well, which changes the atmosphere of the song and makes it much more interesting. The first half was certainly beautiful, especially with the epiano samples (I think I’ve actually used sample 8 many times before), whereas the song had a much darker feel towards the end.

    As far as CC goes, I thought the drums were a bit too bland, though that might just come down to preference. I also thought I heard some notes in the second half from the low choir samples that sounded a bit off. Finally, I found there was a lot of sustain, which made everything sound clustered (although it did give the song a nice touch).

    FINAL RATING: 7
    DOWNLOAD?: Well, I intended this to be a quick review, but there’s a lot to say about this track. In summary, not a bad track. Just too much sustain, and some odd notes. However, it’s still a nice track with some good changes and a nice touch.

    Sounds like a christmas remix. If someone ever made a Crysilis Xmas version, this would be the perfect soundtrack.

    Doesn’t sound bad at all, but then again, it’s hard to go wrong with Crysilis’ instantly recognizable theme melody. The drums sound kind of lo-fi, apart from that it’s a pretty decent song.

    This is a short review. It has less impact on the upload's score.
