Wow. This is awesome. Orchestral is my second favorite style (only to jazz, which there isn't enough of here.) Very well composed. Never even heard of the game, but who cares, its awesome. Love the horn fanfare circa 2:20. Keep up the great work.

I'm glad to see that at last Nixdorux decided to show his skills to the people of Ocremix. I've been a fan of his work since I heard "Zelda is In Love" at vgmix, and believe me people, he has much more outstanding songs in his repertory, although I must say that this is his most experimental piece. As as I said before in vgmix, great work nixdorux.

People, expect much more amazing work from this guy.

OMG! OMG!

On OCR, I usually prefer electro mix than orchestral.
But on the other hand, I am a big fan of Gershwin and John Williams, among others.
This tune is E X C E L L E N T !
Very, very nice sounds (where the damn can you find such good soundfounds or whatever it is)
and perfect orchestration, IMHO.

Waiting now for other submissions here.

Ah, yes. Never heard much about this guy, but from what I heard, he's got some very good tunes. The strings and horns are composed very very nicely.
Nixdorux has come along was as I heard his first mix was rated Average. Anyway, yeah. There's not much I can say about this. I like the oboe/clarinet that come in at around 2:05 and the instrument solos afterwards. Good stuff.

If you enjoy this, pick up his latest Super Mario World's "Ghost" VGmix. It's a mixture of styles from John Williams to Rob Dougan who composed most of the orchestral scores from the Matrix. It's a very very sinister remix.

You won't be dissappointed with his stuff.

This is the first remix I have been motivated to post a review of. It's an excellent take on the ending/credits theme from Gargoyle's Quest, a game - and a song in particular - which I had been hoping someone would remix. Easily one of my top 10 for music choice, as well as mixing skill and quality.

Anyone for doing Breager's Castle?

I like how at the start at 0'12' it sounds like the theme to Top Gun.

Well, I love Gershwin, and I love this underappreciated game... needless to say, I love this remix! This is one of my favorite GameBoy games of all time, and usually music is a big reason for why I love games, but I had actually forgotten how excellent the GQ soundtrack was. All the good memories of the game rushed back when I played this baby. Nixdorux does a great job of improving on the original, and adds that real human and warm Gershwin touch.
