A slow piano version of zoids. Its a rare inspired moment a musician gets and the idea and structure is impressive carried by some great sounding instruments and nifty touches with the piano sounds.

If i had to maybe say a negative thing about this remix is that it never really evolves and at times you get the feeling somethings slightly missing. There's plenty of good versions of zoids knocking about, and this version is one of the better ones. Seems musicians really get inspired by the piece. Downloading is highly recommended!

Very nice, with this remixer's own additions to the tune. I just wish the rain would stop. I consider it to be a bit of a cheap trick to get atmosphere. It works in a movie, but not a soundtrack, IMO.

Even if I am a big fan of the original SID, there are enough Zoids remixes out there to warrant being picky. A Zoids remix needs to have something special, and I can truly say this one has taken a special place in my heart.
Where the original is more of a stomping industrially epicy thing, the conversion to piano and female chanting took me a few minutes to adjust to. It takes a number of elements from Zoids, and puts them in a wholly different context in which they get new meaning. I'm surprised it worked as well as it did; this version carries a lot of emotion for me. I think the sounds of rain is a nice touch of atmosphere, but the 'female vocals' (I suspect they're sampled synths) in combination with just the right notes on the piano swoon me the most.
