Epic...

Really a nice mix. You should make more "piano" remixes ;P

I agree overwhelming...

but its a really good overwhelming. I usually am a sticker for proper leveling and balancing, but really I actually think its pretty much accomplishing the goal of the orchestration through its rough nature. If I had to critique one thing, and I always try to give one useful bit of feedback, the ending feels out of place. Something like a fade with some crazy distortions, just something so it doesn't loose so much of its energy. Its like the song is racing towards the end only to coast the last little bit, and stoping before crossing the finish line.

Overall I really like the song. It makes me feel like I just got run over by a building size techno music box with strobing lights ... on wheels.

Great job.

really a bit overwhelming

And I mean that in two ways:

The beginning is very loud and muddy, and is too echoey and has a lot of delay.

On the other hand, its VERY epic, and the concept is very well excecuted, as far as the actual format.

But, in truth, it's terribly mixed. maybe less delay and reverb and some limiters and compressors or something. the actual song itself is great, but its hard to listen to.

Piano FTW

I love the piano (being a pianist I should) and I just HAD to check this out. It's a good piece I might even try to actually play it. Now here comes the dreaded 'but'. I think you should turn up the treble notes and turn down the bass. Its nice to hear the rhythm of the higher notes shine through. It will make a huge difference. Also the ending is quite bare. Some chords or even some octaves would spice it up a ton. I also think an arpeggio placed at the end would make for a nice finish. But of course that is just my own opinion.
