Super Mario Bros. 3 'La Samba de Agua'

I read somewhere that Mustin actually does all the instruments in this track, you've gotta admire the man just for that. While the mix is a really nice sounding tune and it's done well, it's not my cup of tea. Great mix, well performed, but I don't like it. Oh well, what can ya do.

God, I can't believe anyone else has reviewed this one. It's definitely one of the best on this site...if you forget that he even played all of the instruments live, it's still an extremely well-aranged remix, and the added fact that he did in fact play the instruments makes it 100% cooler. Forget techno and all of it's bleepy-bloopy synthesized crap, this is all I need (well something like that anyway :) )...

Well said, Mr. Adhesive :D . I've been meaning to review this one for a while. This is probably my favorite song on OCR. Everything is so well arranged, and the fact that it is performed live is pretty rad. It's amazing this man can play all those instuments. This one is a definte download...you'll fall in love with it. Much thanks, Mustin.

this song has a cool factor of like 68 billion or something.

this is a really freakin cool song. excellent arrangement and performance by mr mustin. there seems to be a few small timing problems (hardly noticable) but that's to be expected when playing live instruments. especially so many and one at a time (i think it would be kinda hard to play a guitar and a trombone or whatever at the same time). the fact that there's so few timing errors blows me away. i've tried doing stuff like this (recording each instrument seperately) and there's ALWAYS timing errors, but mustin pulls this here off masterfully.

i give mustin... uhhh... 5 lightbulbs or something



yay

Man this ReMix is so grand! It has a coolness like never heard before! And That speech that Mustin the man gives at the beggining is halarious! Great Job!

I liked "La Samba de Agua" the first time I listened, but it has since grown on me and become one of my favorites. For some reason, the beginning of this piece makes me think of water flowing along with the deep guitar chords. I suppose that means that the remix is both well odne and aptly named. The melodic variation and saxophone solos are also quite professionally done. This piece has awesome tonal and instrumental depth. Download it!

Holy screaming sheep shit.

Ah, now this is high-quality stuff. The guitar playing is lovely, and the whole song has a friendly bounce about it. Mustin inviting you to "Enjoy" at the start was a nice touch too. Great.

Download this right now. Completely phenomenal. 2.5 minutes of audio bliss. I originally looked Mustin up because I saw him listed playing sax in a collaboration track and like real instruments... I got to this one and it blew me away.

The fact that he played every instrument in the song makes me want to weep with appreciation for the musicality and virtuosity displayed here.

The first few seconds of verbal intro was the only thing that turned me off the first listen through, but I like it now... gives it sort of an authentic feel... imagine you're sitting in the jazz club and the band leader says a few meager words before the song starts, because that's what band leaders tend to do.

Guys, I REALLY appreciate those comments.

This is my favourite remix that I've ever done, and brought someone very, very special to me.

Thank you so much, everyone. Hearing comments about "La Samba De Agua" are the only comments I really care to hear.

My best,
