Aside from the repetitiveness this falls into in the second half, I'd say this piece is pretty jazzy in comparison to the rest of the stuff on OCR. I wouldn't go so far as to show this to some jazz heads and try to pass it off as true jazz, but whatever. Besides the point this piece is awesome. I loved the piano and flute, and what i heard of the bass was great too (Subwoofer broke, cant hear lows that well). I honestly dont know why some of the judges jumped on the quality of the recording, because it worked well with the style of the piece. I'd personally like to hear more "unorthodoxed" (well to OCR) songs like this. Great stuff.

Awesome, awesome stuff. Definitely one of the best pieces I've heard in awhile. It's amazing that it sounds this good and was performed live. The last couple songs I've praised so highly were true remixes, with heavy mastering and arranging, while this is just a few musicicians doing their thing without additional effects added later.

Default Nice Mix!!

A jazz rendition of one of my all time favorite Megaman games. I like!! The efforts really show in this mix. Around 1.30 it really picks with a song that sounds somewhat like something out of Cowboy Bebop. Nice job to the one responsible for making this mix.

I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of Jazz. Maybe it's the pace of Jazz songs that never really harped on me, but the more I listen to this, the more I enjoy it.

The first 1:20 is good, I love the piano, it sounds powerful but accompanying at the same time. At 1:30 when things start to pick up, I liked hearing the flute come in at intervals before busting out the backround melody that plays. Around 3:15-3:38 is by far my favorite part of the song, where for me it feels everything falls into place and the remix goes back to the roots. The feeling of nostalgia is always key for myself when it comes to enjoying remixes.

Overall, I liked it. As I've said, not my favorite genre of music, and there certainly some quality issues with it, but I can't (and won't) deny the talent presented in this rendition. Good stuff.

Very nice. I felt a bit of out of tune weirdness at one point at the beginning, but I guess it was just my ears and not that big of a deal anyways... when the pan flute first plays its notes (before it gets into its main part) it seemed a bit dissonant to me...oh well.

Impressive mix. I love the pan flute. And, I love the pan flute. Very nice arrangement. Live? Who cares about EQ and recording quality. This sounds like its being played live at a jazz club and I'm enjoying every second of it. Good stuff here, Zoltan!

It's not bad... a bit repetitive towards the end though the theme is jazz... the repetitions almost become monotonous at the end... which isn't necessarily bad, but a bit outdated.

The 1st few seconds make the piece seem a bit muddled... so that needs to be cleared up, but besides that I would say this is a great piece... I've always liked rockman remixes =)!

I love this piece. Sure, the recording isn't perfect, but holy damn is that a good performance. That flute is amazing!

Oh man... as a flutist myself, I can REALLY appreciate that flute there. That sounds like it's played on wood to me, one of the more awesome flute materials. When it kicked in, I was floored. For the introduction, when it was pure piano, I was leaning back in my chair, really enjoying the flowing swirls and eddies, and when the flute came it, I jerked into an upright position. As it started to really jam, I just had to drum along, rapping my knuckles on my computer desk.

The poor sound recording? So what. This ROCKS man... ROCKS. Pun not intended.

Woohoo! I gotta listen to this again, get out my flute and see if I can keep up!
