Nobuo Uematsu/The Black Mages
"The source of everything."
I'm a really big fan of this version. The original Jenova theme is easily one of my favorite video game tracks of all time, and Nobuo Uematsu and The Black Mages did an in-fucking-credible job of remaking it like this. I'm usually not a big fan of re-done/re-orchestrated songs. They have to be done just right, nothing unnecessary or any unnecessary instruments or alterations, and they have to remain true to the original.
I'm gonna be real here with everyone. The other Extended cut of this I uploaded before was not that great. I originally didn't plan on uploading it because I only threw it together quickly to use it in the fight against Jenova Dreamweaver I uploaded. In other words, I did a half assed job making it because, unlike the other stuff I put out, that was just intended to be used as a backdrop to the fight. So the music was never the main focus, thus I didn't feel the need to put all the time and energy into it. Apparently, 41 people liked that version though. So I felt I owed it to them, and this song, to do it right. I hope you all enjoy it. It costed me a bit of my sanity making it.
