man these are good, pretty amazing how you've managed to arrange something completely different using only the original source. I liked Shizune's a lot.

What is your direction of these remixes? They have this dance-floor feel, though I'm not sure if that's what you're aiming for.

I had to sign up just to say, I friggin love your remixes! All the music in KS is awesome, and I love when awesome music gets dance/house remixes. My two favorite genres being Techno/Dance/House/Whateveryouwannacallit and Classical.

Your Parity remix was great, and I'm glad to see you've kept it up. My only critique is that both your new ones end too soon, seeming like they're going to continue but just cut out. Particularly your Student Council remix, it was just too short. Which is really sad, cause you made one of the few KS songs I didn't really like into something I listened to over and over again, each time going "Damn, its over already!?"

thanks for all the kind words grathnos, i really appreciate it!
the two remixes posted here are both works in progress, so they'll be longer when completed.

and traitor, you are spot-on, i try to make these remixes as dance-able as possible.

Those sound great, but the Hanako one bugged me for a while because it sounded familiar, then I remembered this.

I... don't understand... Sure there's, some similarity, but not enough to be distinctive. Music tends to share certain thematic similarities, but I certainly wouldn't compare the two.

While they both do sound very interesting, I'm not entirely sure they were the right subject material for a dance-like remix... O.o

Still, well done, especially on Painful History. I'd like the full version for my mp3 player :3

I don't know why but I liked the previous version more.

I'd have to say, I like your Babel mix better than your new one as well. It just feels clearer and more calm. The new one is more cluttered and seems to be doing too much in comparison.

Also, I noticed yesterday, nice names for the remixes. Totally didn't get it at first, but then I thought about them more and was like "OH! They're not referring to how the song is! HAHA, Shizune is mute." 8)

I for one like the newest Shizune theme.
