OMMFG! This is what I call MAD!
Final Fantasy VI has been my favourate FF game since 2002 (Anthologies release for PS1) and NEVER have I heard a re-orchestration-en-synth like this before. This is by far the best reinterpretation of Dancing Mad I've ever heard and, to put it bluntly, both halves were like audioble apples to my ears: They know it should be forbidden, yet it is so good. Nobuo Uematsu would be proud of you. Hold your head high, knowing that you have achieved... PERFECTION!
What a masterpiece.
This song, or rather, both halves of the song are well done, and could easily be listened to as separate pieces. Also, I do like the original "Dancing Mad" portion that was redone in the 2nd half, so much so that I wish there were a stand-alone loop for it. This is a great piece, and I'm glad I spent time listening to it.
Great idea for real instruments
If you could do this with a real orchestra and have your way with the song, you'd be the only one able to surpass the level of epic your rendition has set.
Just a thought.

epic. win.
OK, I'm trying to forget all about being over-sentimental about your work. I really wish I could add something useful to the other comments, but it just seems that, as NG says, "the people have spoken!" My only complaint is about 4:17 and 4:37... for me, it didn't seem to really flow after the previous part. Other than that, absolutely beautiful and perfect.
Man, I loved your work. I really did.
