This is amazing!!
Great master piece, Distortzion, especially the kick-up part from 00:45-01:00! I thought that was the best part of the song, keep up the good work! :D
Reviews for "> Lilium <"
Awesome
I don't know, I personally feel this song was meant to be played by the ever suffering violin. Screeching its soul over the ears of any who would listen. It still sounds great with the piano, but I feel its missing something... substantial without it.
When it gets loud, and fast paced, that was an awesome rendition. Thats where I feel you've compensated for the lack of viola very well, sounds quite angry sad now, full of subtle rage.
Awesome ^^.
Keep them coming Distortzion.

Duh, I've become better of course you idiot. Kekeke ^.^
Much thnx for the rev :)
well done
hmm... but im not fully convinced you did this personally because it sounds presicly like the pro version which i have on mp3 so i know the whole song.
nothing personal but the tempo,tone etc. sound exactly the same.
good instrument choice, remains faithful to origin
what did it for me, for this piece, was mostly the choice of instrument. the instrument you chose- (harpsichord or clavichord?) gave it a very baroque feeling.
this feeling of antiquity was further brought out by the left hand, as the regular plodding chords in the first part gave it the feeling of a classical dance, then the arpeggiation at the climax was very regular, although i'd say it was a tiny bit overdone. the ending to the piece was very lovely, it had the feeling of a furious dance again. however, it might have been a little too lively for a finishing bit.
one strange thing i found was the deep bass ring at 0:24 and 0:58.
still, it's a wonderful choice of instrument, and goes with the melody exceedingly well. the classical dance feeling suits both the melody and the "feel" of the whole song. you don't experiment much here- the arpeggiation in the left land is from the original song- but the final effect is very good, and i actually prefer a faithful take using this instrument.
although i didn't feel it was very original or diverse, the clarity of the recording suits the sharp sound produced by your instrument, and your overall is much higher than the average because of the "feel" you create with the song.
on another note, there are two other remixes of lilium on newgrounds. i'd ask you to listen to the "lilium cover" version, it's very good, and has many similarities with yours.
it also starts out with plodding chords, but after that it is very experimental. also, it is a solo piano piece. listening to yours and his side by side is very nice, as they are very different in effect. still, it goes to show that the lilium theme is very versatile.
in conclusion- very good, whether on purpose or not, your choice of instrument fits very nicely with the setting of the original song, and the faithfulness to the original mood and feel in this case is very well executed and in place. still, go search the audio portal for "lilium" in the details, and you'd be pleasantly surprised comparing your piece to others'.

lol, too long to read XP
Anyway, the "piano-ish thing" is I'm calling it (serious, I've got no idea what it is XP) is a secret combination of FL Keys and lots of effect. Many people like it, as you see ;)
