OverClocked ReMix...

Zelda 2 'Thelonius Temple High'

Niiiiice! I really like the piano on this one and the overall jazz motif. Very well arranged. I can't think of anything bad to say, except that the remixer has never done anything else besides this! That in itself is a shame. OK and I guess it could be a bit longer.

= Talent.

This song is GREAT. The piano is unbelievably believable! The other instruments, not so much...But MAN this track is just totally solid! And I LOVE the title!

Yeah, though the piano sounds thin, this deserves more attention. Loved the arrangement; it's got tons of energy, and the execution was top-flight for something so early in the site's history. Great stuff, Mike.

I'm an even bigger fan of "Thelonius Temple Low" for it's grittier/"live recording"-type feel. Seems like most people have no idea where to get a copy of that nowadays, but my fellow Emory bro Electron was nice enough to hook me up with a copy.

This song is sexily jazzy. Seriously, pick up a copy of yours today, you won't regret it,

One of my top favorites. This simple, no-frills jazz piece sounds like something you would hear live at a coffee shop or other small venue.

It starts with a classic jazz piano style intro, then moves into a more minimalist jazz trio sound once it gets into the actual temple theme.

What more can I say? Definitely worth a download.

the piano sounds really dry in the intro, but once the rest of the instruments come in it isn't really an issue. the drums aren't the greatest though. i am interested in hearing the lo-fi version of this that liontamer mentioned, i think the drums would sound better in that context. but for one of the earlier remixes this is really good

Damn, I am really impressed by this, even more so that it is such an old school track. I agree the piano is a bit thin before the combo comes in, but the playing throughout is beautifully expressive. This is one mix I missed along the way and I really regret it. Good thing I got a second chance to grab it.
I love the power when the rhythm section comes in. Very understated but nice. It seems drum programming-wise that a little too much is going on, mostly with the hi-hat.
Three armed drummer? I guess maybe the arch nemesis of Rick Allen. "Hey give that back!"

Recommended for sure.
