It's about damn time we had a new Yoshi's Island mix!
The intro is great. The orchestral-esque instruments work well with the building electronic elements. I like the gated strings (0:34-0:45), it's a shame they're not featured more prominently in the rest of the song. Nice work with the 3/4 -> 4/4 adaptation, like the judges noted it doesn't seem overly forced. I loved the changes of pace at 3:23 and 4:05 (nice soloing!), but the sudden ending leaves me wishing there was more. Overall, though, I thought the remix was great..

(btw, djp, it's not a remix of Underground BGM as you currently have indicated in the remix information, it's the castle / fortress music.)
edit: looks like that has been taken care of.)

Heh, I come here years ago looking for a remix of this exact tune, and as soon as I make an account *poof* one appears. How's that for interesting?

This mix is very well put together - the "chorus" really hits me in a good way (chorus assumed to be 1:29-1:39 and all like parts). Little empty in parts, but that's a good thing as it fills up BIG and gets ya just afterwards.

Lovin' it

This was already an easy mix to enjoy, but that very FM bell tone around ~1:46 and the "Jon Hallur, is that you?" intro will keep this one popping up on my playlist.

I'll admit that I was disappointed when I found that this wasn't actually a remix of the "Underground BGM", as that's my favorite song from the game. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I heard this. My favorite part would have to be the ending, which caught me off guard in a good way and kept everything fresh. Good stuff!

Well I followed the progress of this mix as soon as I saw it in the To Be Judged queue. Something about the name of the track gave me this feeling that it would be awesome and would pass. When I saw it in the To Be Posted queue I knew it would be great and was wondering who the artist was. When I saw it was Palpable I knew this was going to be a quality tune and was wondering what track he had arranged. When I saw he had done the castle theme and heard the song, my initial feelings were confirmed. This is great stuff and a very worthy addition to the Yoshi's Island collection, or is that the McVaffe collection?

I tried this song a long time ago but gave up. Here's what I did then.

Yours is a really evil remix, by the way. :) Even though it was naturally better than mine, I didn't like it that much, other than the mean leads you used (and well).

I love when the bass first comes in. You know the track's gonna be awesome when you hear it.

Great time signature adaption, it fit's really easily into 4/4.

Dynamic use is also nicely done, I like the swells into the next section.

Good job!
