Hi All !!
I want to Thank everyone for the Votes & kind Words .
Very much Appreciated !!!!
I'm real Glad you liked the tune :O)
People have been asking me about why i say it's not finnished .
I'll Explain :O)
The area from 03:49 to 04:08 has a kinda dead area with just a set of running strings .
At this point, i wanted to add another melody because to me it sounds pretty empty .
Also , to many instruments seem to be playing in the Left speaker , i wanted to pan it out better before i uploaded it to Kwed , I forgot !! hehe ..
There's also a few minor touches i wanted to add & clean up such as the lead instruments , but i never had the time :O(
But i'm gald you all liked it anyhowz !! :O)
Thanks ...

REVIEW BY infamous (01/10/2004) glyn.dissapears for over a year after gracing us with gordian tombs and firelord to do other things.. like have a family. comes back and then bitch slaps us all with this.. just to remind everyone just who the boss really is.. and what a reminder. Beautiful flute begins the remix.. slowly fading about with harps and strings to build a real celtic feel.. then it really gets all irish on us with the clannad esque vocal work.. very inspired and it may have come out of a box but it still sounds very believable.. she fades away and.. WOMPTH!!.. its like that scene in gladiator where he is being carted into rome to face the gladiator ring in the mighty colloseum.. its every epic anchient sword and honour film you've ever seen mixed with a little bit of the club beats of today to keep it all in check.. kinda like a knights tale but without that gurning ponce heath ledger to annoy you.. this is the perfect film acompanyment music.. the perfect lounge music.. maybe its even the perfect song?... no that'd be going to far. thats not been done yet.. and definetly aint been done here either but what you have got.. is definetely the BEST remix at rko to date.. and i challenge anyone to a horseback duel that contests it. truly a class remix and true evidence that glyn is a talent going to waste as he languishes away in his neat house .. he needs to be signed up.. needs to be writing music for films etc.. if there is any justice in this world before he dies he will leave a legacy far greater than the one he leaves here... theres a big world out there and glyn and his talent could conquer it.. and again i dont think many would be inclined to disagree. all hail glyn. and his half finished remix's |

REVIEW BY tomsk (03/10/2004) Aye - you have to say this is rather special. Again, this one won me over and I always enjoyed listening to the Z-show for the 'obligatory' playing of this tune.I've really no idea how you keep faithfull to a 3 voice sid tune, and then turn it into such an extravagant orchestral masterpiece - but this is about as good an example as you're likely to find. Opening the tune is that perfectly suited vocal and then we get thrust into the main theme itself. From here you can clearly appreciate the time and effort gone into making this - it's just so professional and sounds spot on to the original (despite the fact that there's hundreds of other instruments giving it 'what for' in the background). For me, that's the magic. There's nothing left of any original backing - it's just been completely replaced with an authentic orchestral score...only the lead tune is recognisable. I don't know if that makes sense, but I know one thing...it sounds awesome. Top marks to Mr.Brown - nice to have you back. |

REVIEW BY mfe (10/06/2005) Just the choir sample in this was unfortunately cheesy. Everything else in this is about as faultless as it gets. Brilliant sense of orchestration and a wonderful flair for the dramatic makes this a keeper, and fully deserving of the No.1 position in the ranks.I would love to hear this piece remastered with a more faithful choir sample. When everything else is so brilliant, it sticks out like a sore thumb, or like a mole would on the Mona Lisa. Kudos all the way! |

REVIEW BY retrovertigo (10/10/2004) Absolutely awe inspiring. I doubt the technical standard set by this piece, in terms of magnificent arrangment, sweeping walls of sound and beautiful lush vocals, will be bettered for a long time to come.This is a deeply moving piece with an incredible grasp of emotion and athmosphere. The best remix i've ever heard without a shadow of a doubt! |

REVIEW BY LaLa (03/10/2004) Very good Gladiator-esque movie soundtrack-style remix, great production, Hans Zimmer would be proud of it for sure - but it uses a bit too many musical cliches for my taste, thus my lower score for "artistic impression". Other than that, it's a pleasure to listen to, it's definitely a work of love! |

REVIEW BY shezzor (04/10/2004) Cant fault it in anyway, an absolute classic remix. If they were to remake rastan now this IS the music they would use, period! |

LMan shouts: The maestro strikes again, and he's come a long way since "Firelord - Symphonic". Fantastic! Dan shouts: Glyn continues with his Midas touch. Fantastic production and arrangment, sheer class as always. Skitz shouts: I seriously think Glyn should score the forthcoming Hobbit film he is that good! This reminds me of the Gladiator score especially with the vocals in there. I think we should send some of his stuff to Peter Jackson! Makke shouts: Glyn's the man! 'Nuff said! kwed shouts: Glyn says this is an unmastered/unfinished mix. I can't for the life of me hear anything wrong with it. Superb! Waz shouts: Damn this is very very good. Lots of symphonic stuff that reminds me of the recent King Arthur movie, sensible use of vocals (very a la Enya for some reason) and thoroughly enjoyable. peacemaker shouts: Fantastic work.. I am really impressed.. Once again a great work of Mr. Brown :) infamous shouts: Exactly allannoe shouts: THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! C64 FOREVER!!! dumper shouts: What a wonderful tune, great to see Glyn back. hazel shouts: Just amazing... This is a masterpiece to be remembered forever!! cirdan shouts: Amazing remix again, Glyn. Those Zimmer'ish strings are quite awesome. vosla shouts: Oh, my gawd! *shits his pants* fersando shouts: Unmastered eh? Gotta say sounds great to me, and love the vocals. tball shouts: Holy smoke, are those voices synths or where did you get them from? hispeed shouts: Ah well what did you expect from a Glyn-r-s ;) remix? I was kinda afraid to vote since everybody seems to think the same way :)
eliot shouts: Besides the crackles (2:08 to 2:28 on the left side) and lot's of hisses the tune itself is quite close to perfect. I hope someday Glyn has time to fix it, 'coz the crackles/hisses bother me while listening (on Sennheiser HD590 headphones) tusy shouts: Great madfiddler shouts: Superb.. Knowing that you're not using an orchestral library makes this EVEN sweeter.. Brilliant dude!!! m.a.f shouts: Firelord and Rastan Transformed Into Tunes I Now like! Cliches LaLa? Maybe. But Glyn knows how to use them and when! Cos I certainly dont! :).. Is that mum singing dad?;) rochus shouts: I thought there would never be a better remix than Mahoney's Armageddon Man - I was wrong. spellcoder shouts: Superb, much variation of rythm, volume, vocals throughout the music, yet it is one prowler shouts: Wonderful work! robertmekis shouts: Well, this one can compete in radio TOP10 lonegunman shouts: Very Epical... Outstanding, of course! raiden shouts: A real Golden Composer Glyn Is the best A GOD! DHS shouts: Simply amazing. Now, I want to know where that Lisa Gerrard-like voice came from! :) [the green anonymous smiley just shows that world is full of serious idiots] exo shouts: Its gettin hot in here. Chappers shouts: Yet another masterpiece from Glyn. He is the new Jerry Goldsmith! priest shouts: Wow what a tune!!!

Amazing masterpiece!!! dj.mitch shouts: Classis meets Dance! And it really works. Great tune! humorguy shouts: Taken remixes to a new level. This guy doe makes it hard for everybody else, I am sure! Just extraordinary full stop. jemym shouts: OMG... O_O daXX shouts: Big Respekt from me... This is a 100% Powerfull Remix! I don't know the original SID but this Song is... Whou..! Witch Sounds did you used? Can you tell me about it? Thx and keep up that good work! Regards! plokolp shouts: Fantastic. A highly polished piece of music. I agree with others here - this should be the score for a movie or something. What is that lady singing anyway!? mad_medicine shouts: I think, I'll throw my "Conan 2 Sondtrack"- CD in a deep pit! pelle shouts: Best computer music remix ever imho, the sound quality is wonderful, the atmosphere is great, a superb production in all portesavon shouts: Never heard that kind of sophisticacy... Keep it on! grytulf shouts: One of the best orchestra-like sound ive heard on remix64 yet, but you can still hear the sound being a bit thin and the tune nah its very good done but not an personal favourite hillsman shouts: Wouldn't look out of place in Lord of the Rings! mustafa shouts: Never played the game, but this remix is fantastic juan shouts: Awesome! gameguardian shouts: Anything but an Outstanding vote would be shameful. This is as good as it gets. We love you Glyn R Brown. Please make more music =) firefox shouts: One of my favs :)....
omoroca shouts: Not my style. And absolutely overrated, if you ask me. loz shouts: Superlative! chilli_uk shouts: Does it for me - the variation of instruments and voices just blends so so well.

If this is half finished, I would really like to hear the finished one :) mfe shouts: Reeks of quality, and in a good way! snorski shouts: Absolutely epic pricer shouts: Good standard if loosing it's way in the mid section. Not as good as Gordian tomb. raj shouts: You are a master KarmaSlave shouts: This is the definition of the positive use for the word "sick". This is sick. condor shouts: Amazing!!!
