Song Context: This remix is based on the original from Jóhann Jóhannsson from the movie, Sicario, whom all rights are reserved. Johann's is still better, of course. May he RIP. I loved the original and wanted to do a different, although similar version and a bit darker, while still maintaining the soul of the original.

Sicario - The Beast (Remix By D/\F)

Song Context: This is part of the song from the artist/band, Enigma (Whom Enigma has all rights to the original music), which some may recognize as being featured in the 1st Matrix movie's trailer.

The Prophet - Wanna Play (Remix by D/\F)

Part 2 of a series. Part 1 is, Serenity's Nursery (See in the Ambient album).

This song (Part 2) is has a gloomy and dark style, fitting for a movie scene in a horror or suspense type of movie. Serenity's Nursery (Part 1) is more ambient and  ethereal.

Serenity's Elegy

This song has a cinematic, slightly dark and moody vibe. The sampled vocals are lines from Marlon Brando in the movie, Apocalypse Now. Version 2 is the more cinematic version, compared to Version 1, which is also cinematic, but more toned down, as well as electronic. 

Lines from, Apocalypse Now: "I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor and surviving." -Marlon Brando/Colonel Kurtz, Apocalypse Now-

The Edge Of A Straight Razor (Version 2)

Song Context: I felt that the original, although amazing, was too short and simply fitted for a scene or movie sequence. I essentially added multiple and complementing layers, and extended it to be a more complete song, while also maintaining the soul of the original...at least that's what I intended, and about as much of what I could do without an actual orchestra.

- Translated lyrics:  

Holy Fathers from ancient times
A strict behest convey to us:
If you have chosen a monk’s path,
Never forget the Name of Christ.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on us.

Wherever the Lord will send you,
Bring your obedience with you.
May this prayer in you never cease,
In your mind let you count the beads.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on us.

A monk without prayer is like a
fruitless tree.
The robes will judge, but not set you free.
It is like being a cold and charred brand
Giving no warmth and light in the end.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on us.

The  beads have flown through your fingers,
And you see the cross in your hand again.
Strengthen yourself for the fight with the prayer
And humbly endure the sorrows and illnesses

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on us.

A hundred knots saving me,
A hundred steps to Heaven, and to Thee,
Breaking the chains of the enemy.
O God, may You cleanse me.

O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Have mercy on us.

Either on earth, or even in Heaven
Prayer is the strongest kind of weapon.
Leave all worldly vanity
Lighting your heart with purity.
