Atmospheric pads wing this remix into the right landing zone, though they take a long time to start the tune. A tense pause then takes the tune into a pad/arpeggio section. The big drum hits are very Jarre-Zooklook, but the arpeggio instrument itself is disturbingly wibbly, and the instrument used for the lead offputtingly twee. From 2:00 these problems go away, and the remix shows off the piece to best advantage. As it goes on, it again reminds me of a Sega piece, possibly because of the lack of high frequencies in the file which makes it sound like it's been recorded on tape or from a low-quality sound source like an arcade speaker. Brings the majesty out of the tune nicely.

Real nice slow arrangement with a catching theme and an ambient atmosphere. A drawback is the muffled sound and low quality of the used sounds.
