Today the guys at OC Remix released their epic four disc remix album dedicated to the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream. Featuring remixes of 45 of the original 86 tracks (lasting a total of 3:26), OCR’s ninth album is not one to be missed. The quality of the remixes by the contributers at OC has gotten better over the years, and this album shows just how polished and creative they are. All my favorites are covered, including some remixes of songs that I wasn’t to partial to originally.
The best part of this whole release though is the price; $0.00. That’s right, it’s free. The album is available on their website in both MP3 and WAV format. The mp3s are 192kbps CBR, so they sound great without being huge in file size. However, if you’re a foobar2000 user like myself, you may want to fiddle with the ID3 tags to get it displaying just right.
Overall I’m extremely impressed by the quality of the album. The tracks are all well done, with some of the songs being taken in directions I had never imagined before (like the track “Heart of Anxiety” including vocals). I recommend that everyone download the album via bittorrent if they can, or at least sample a few of the tracks. I’ve included 3 tracks from the first disc of the album, “Crisis.” Enjoy.

He's simply awesome.
