Respect, that's pretty awesome.
Paragon X9, I've always have been a fan of your stuff although I haven't been keeping track with the Audio Portal for years. (That explains why I don't have very many music reviews.) It's about time I gave you my two cents...
Instrumentation: Clever use of drums, bass, and the usual electronic fare. Plus, the use of layers shows that you haven't lost it at all. I'm a sucker for intense music, especially when it's done right.
Arrangement: When shifting from one mood to another, you were very cautious when switching from easy-going to intense. Plus, I like how you implemented that song from Twilight Princess. The notation in this was exceptional, and shows that you still have the ears of a composer.
Other: Aside from that Zelda bit, this was pretty much original in the creativity regard for someone who is somewhat synonymous with video game remixes. Plus, it's nice to see something different from you. However, the filesize for this is a bit on the large side, but I'm thankful that you didn't export this at max kbps. (That eats up hard drive space quickly.)
What I liked:
-Great instrumentation and arrangement
-Nice balance between intense and easy-going.
-Mostly original
-Top-notch timing
What I didn't like:
-The filesize is a bit large for a download.
Overall: Paragon X9, this still shows why you and Nemesis Theory are two of my favorite musicians on Newgrounds. Here's your ten and I look forward to you two collaborating.
