Needs a "Rock Out" icon

Ooh.

I have downloaded all of Voices of the Lifestream - an Overclocked Remix project, remixing a vast number of tracks from the Final Fantasy VII sountrack - and am currently listening through them. In general I recommend it to anyone who likes FF7, it's an eclectic mix of electro / orchestral / rock / all kids of different music, and most of it of a high standard (IMO).

There's one track I've skipped over a number of times now, dismissing it as a fairly workmanlike synth reproduction of the original track, with a faintly embarassing shrieking-woman vox sample. And it is, until about 30 seconds in. Then it all goes a bit Linkin Park. With kickass percussion.

It's track 9 on Disk 3 - The Crossroads, based on Cid's Theme. I am rather enjoying it.

tempting! one of my fave songs ever is a remix of Cosmo Canyon. and i have a secret lust for Electric de Chocobo...

You can download individual tracks! I quite like the Cosmo Canyon one, it's a sort of speedmetal-funktronic race with melodic pit stops.

(If you go for the whole torrent, do be aware that as well as the MP3s you get WAV files of the whole thing - you'd probably want to exclude the WAV folder since it's about ten times the size of the MP3s...)
