I was fortunate enough to hear this some weeks ago. This is one of my favorite guitar mixes I've heard at OC. Wonderful work Vig.

excellent jazz phrasing, awesome tone and a very well thought out arrangement of the original, i think.
i especially like the way it flows between 1:30 and 2:00 - brilliant trot into the solo which incidentally is craftfully played - reminds me at parts of lee ritenour and at other times like a morose santana... europa-like... i'm not sure how to characterize this tone but it is brilliantly used (despite being a standard acoustic/clean tone combination, it still stands on its own two feet regardless and manages to offer something slightly unexpected but difficult to pinpoint..)
good work, bro

Very nice indeed. I can definetly hear the Metheny influence in the playing and the arrangement. The quasi-latin feel that starts up around 1:15 is just beautiful. I only wish I was a little more familiar with the source material.

I really dig extended improv stuff, so this was right up my alley. Keep up the good work.

Finally, a mix worthy of the download time.

Just when I've all but given up on this place, I hear a song that restores my faith in some of the people here.

I tip my imaginary hat to you man. very nice work.

I'll definetly be saving this one.

This is one high quality song. Usually I don't keep songs from games that I haven't played, but this one is a five-star exception.

EDIT: What do you mean, "download times"? I would say that bad download speeds are more indicative of the quality of your ISP, and not OCR's servers.

Very very very nice. This mix is so incredibly smooth, amazing work Vig.

Every once in a while a song shows up here that just stops me in the middle of whatever I'm multitasking...a song that reaches through my conciousness and refuses to just be BGM. I have to agree that this is one of the finest guitar remixes I've heard on the site (and there are some VERY good guitar mixes here).

Keep up the good work, I'll be listening for more.

You know, I've always loved chillout music. And this here fits the bill perfect. God damn this is an awesome remix - the guitar is played fantastically, its got an awesome atmosphere and mood to it and what else can I say? A fantastic guitar remix, great to listen to during a sunset.

There is at times clipping though, but the pure sound quality that caresses my ears and makes out with them with el passioné more than makes up for it.

Awesome, awesome stuff. Congrats, Vigilante!

One Word ReView: Chilllllllll.

it's really nice to hear something different at OCR. I haven't heard Metheny, but i'll be checking him out. this is only the second OCR mix i've ever completely liked so much I had to comment on it, and I haven't even played MGS:2.
excellent work.
