REVIEW BY immacolata (19/04/2003)

I think Maindrian is the new guy on the block with a guitar. Sounds like a classic rock ballad, with a very familiar drum beat going and some nice silent guitar work. Close to the 3 minute mark there's use of some phat distorted guitar, but well laid upon the other guitars. At the end, the song is as beautifully mellow as it was for starters.

I like this remix a lot better than the first attempt at Dragon's Lair 2 that Maindrian tried. I like it as much as Maindrians Times of Lore remix, it has the same melancholic mood to it, but this song is made entirely on "real" instruments, no SID usage. I look forward to see him giving more songs his great guitar treatment. If you missed out on his Times of Lore, go get it.

REVIEW BY Tas (20/04/2003)

While the original is quite upbeat maindrain attacks this piece or rather doesn't attack it, but gently brings out a softer side to the remix. Well thats until 2:39 where he brings in a distorted guitar which unfortunately kills the piece. This addition ruins what would have been an awesome remix. Fortunately it last for only 1 minuite before normal service resumes.

The track which yet again bares simularities to early Mike Oldfield is beautiful and emotional. A great piece of work which is sadly let down by that oh so unwarrented harsh distorted guitar. Shame really, because if it wasn't for that i could play it all day on repeat.

REVIEW BY eliot (22/04/2003)

What does a heavy distorted guitar do into an "romantic river epic" remix?
Sadently, it infears with a really nice attempt of this tune. I guess everyone would be grateful if you will remove this "junk" and upload this tune again :-)

Due this heavy distoreted guitar I can only give a "good" because it really ruins this tune. :-(

montymole shouts: One of my favourite Hubbard sid's. Great guitar remix, I like the end which is a little harder
plokolp shouts: One of my favourite tunes. I really like the distorted guitar and the pick slide he does to introduce it.
omoroca shouts: Nice'n'relaxed!
