My ego ... it's swelling!!

There is this Final Fantasy 7 remix project that is about to be released after 20 months in production. I had written an FF7 piano medley during this time, and I contacted the project lead to see if he'd be interested in using it in the project. He really enjoyed it and asked me to finish it up. I did, gave it to him, and then forgot about it.

The project is set to be released on Friday. The entire album was sent for a sneak preview to a reviewer at music4games.net: a site that reviews and is based around original game soundtracks. This is the first time they've delved into a remix project like this. The review was AMAZING. AND! I GOT MY OWN PARAGRAPH!

"The final piece is an absolutely gorgeous medley performed exclusively on piano. It begins with a reflective arrangement of “Lifestream,” which is a piece that is sadly absent from the rest of the album (It’s one of my favorites). Jazzy, jivin’ arrangements of the main theme and Tifa’s theme follow. Numerous other pieces are included in the arrangement, all with flawless transitions, propelling this piece way beyond the official piano collection albums that have been released over the years by Square. It’s contemplative in emotion and stunning in execution, making it a perfect closing piece for the album."

They make remix albums for video games? Makes sense, yet I never really thought about it.

If you get TOO inflated in the cranial regions, someone will have to create a Special Demotivational Poster JUST FOR YOU. :)

Congratulations, big guy!
