Glyn R Brown - Rastan

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!

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

Cant fault it in anyway, an absolute classic remix. If they were to remake rastan now this IS the music they would use, period!

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!

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.

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!

Hard to believe this is taken from an 8 bit tune from 30 years ago. Quality!

What can one even say about this remix? It has the perfect epic feel to it. If you've ever listened to anything from Two Steps from Hell, this is right in that same wheelhouse. Leave the tune alone Glyn, it's perfect the way it is.
