[Kafein]

An atrocious butchering of what was already perfection.  The shambling staccato rhythm of the original has been totally replaced by a monotonous drone of synth.  Uematsu's profound use of counterpoint and interlocking harmonies in the crescendos and bridges have been either entirely edited out or inundated in synthetic bassoons and tubas.  There is an offensively dissonant organ that blots out the melody in the most crucial passages.  Nobuo Uematsu would be rolling in his grave.

Afaik Uematsu is not dead. But yeah I see your point though. The modern version is somewhat more pleasant to the ear but it lacks the flourish and overall feeling of the original.

Of course tea was a forgone conclusion. SPAM in that context?

Buy yourself the heaviest armored horse you can afford and just play the entire collection of Earth, Wind and Fire while you run people over. Helps chill you out.
