This group gave me some trouble. I love both Ascension to Cosmo Canyon and The Twelfth Commandment.

"The Twelfth Commandment" brings the goods. "Ascension to Cosmo Canyon" does too (RIP Reuben), but I'm a fan of 12th a lot more. The Brit-rock style section later on just seals the deal.

: 109 - OC Remix - The Twelfth Commandment
: 050 - Voices of the Lifestream - Crystal Sermon
: 003 - OC Remix - Ascension to Cosmo Canyon
: 199 - PHOENIX Project - Topman Stage

Topman hits the bottom of a strong match by being the most ordinary of the four. Nothing terribly wrong with it, but it's nothing special.

Ascension to Cosmo Canyon isn't too bad, but I don't think it's amazing. The ethnic section just hits like a ton of bricks. The climax has always felt a bit weak to me, in that it doesn't hit quite enough power and quickly passes. I do appreciate what the mix is trying to do.

Crystal Sermon is all about one passage: 2:22-2:24. Everything preceding that second serves as a build to it, and everything following an extended outro.

Winner is The Twelfth Commandment, which just exudes excellence all over. The style is awesome, and the switch at 2:32 gets me every time. Has the most consistent quality of everything else in this batch.

003 - OC Remix - Ascension to Cosmo Canyon
Man, that piano beginning almost made me tear up when I realized that the mixer has since died. The song is acutally not unlike a requiem of sorts, actually.

050 - Voices of the Lifestream - Crystal Sermon
It's the Prelude in a relatively standard Tekno Pemix. Not bad, but nothing terribly special either.

109 - OC Remix - The Twelfth Commandment
Interesting synth rock version of the better parts of the Northern Cave. Final levels never seem to get much love from the remix gods, so this one is refreshing in a way.

199 - PHOENIX Project - Topman Stage
I was never super-fond of Topman's music, but this remix does a fine job of powering it up in both tempo and volume.

Good match, but I have to give it to Ascension.

OC Remix - Ascension to Cosmo Canyon
How touching~ The song feels sort of tiered into sections, which is especially noticeable in the differences between pure piano, then when the drums, wind instrument, strings, voices, etc. come in.

Voices of the Lifestream - Crystal Sermon
I get annoyed whenever I hear a remix of the FF Prelude, but this quickly remedies those feelings by going in an upbeat direction with an ample mix of songs... all right I lied, it's the cheesy percussion that lets me tolerate it.

OC Remix - The Twelfth Commandment
Very interesting remix with a much overlooked choice for song selection. Instant points for freshness and quality.

PHOENIX Project - Topman Stage
Finally after a bunch of brackets, rock bias has kicked in again. Just a sucker for electric guitars and percussion, nothing more.



A very strong matchup this time, I honestly will be happy with whatever passes on to the next round from here.
