To those who aren't listening with headphones: the track is stereo, so the intro and every occurrence of it dances from one ear to the other and back!
I think Uematsu is overated personally. Especially compared to Kondo, Koshiro, Yasunori, the guys who did Contra 3 and the insane genius that did the music to Mystic Quest!
Uematsu's done some amazing stuff! The FF7 battle theme earnt him eternal kudos, but he's by no means the only accomplished musican out there.
And dissing Williams? GTFO dude. Listen to Star Trek II - Main Theme, and say he sucks. Seriously. GTFO.
Its hard to come close to getting the right feeling for this piece when its remixed, especially the contrast in dynamics, and balance shifting. But the original will always be the best when it comes to music like this.
@greatpenguin Lol, if this is your ringtone, then I can imagine you looking at your phone as it rings, like this could be a master spy, or even the end of the world.
I remember this piece was also played in present time when Marle had to prove her fathers innocents when he was accuses of stealing the Rainbow Shell.
I remember playing the part of the game back in High school for the SNES. Stereo sound connected, no lights, Listening to this piece still gives me goosebumps!
I couldn't help but notice, and maybe this is just me...But whenever this song is remixed, it just doesn't seem as good as the original here. Whenever I hear a remix of THIS song of CT in particular, SOME THING is missing. listening to this music, playing this game for 15 years did that to me, I guess..
@lynnvryett Funny thing is that those little differences in the piece have always been there. Its just after being digitally remastered to make the sound more clear those differences are heard more clearer.

This is one of the greatest songs in the game, it is SO badass that it doesn't stop for battles. It creates a sense of urgency that makes that part of the game so much more epic.
@spectreshadow Damn skippy xD I need to play through this gem again. They don't make them like they used to. I've played RPG maker games that are better than some of the new stuff coming out.
lol uematsu is definitely overrated

The save file for this part of the game is "Lavos Beckons..." Appropriate.
