This is the kind of laid back piano lounge I could get lost in amidst the heavy smoke and clinking glasses. Well done, sir.

^ This. Absolutely this.

It's drop dead gorgeous and now my new favorite jazz piece.

This is very cool stuff. I could easily see myself walking into a smoke-filled bar with the man in glasses playing this song on the piano in the corner. I also love the source a bunch and am glad to see it get some love, in a new and creative way.

This remix is amazing. I love the source, and I love jazz; so how could this be any better? It's going straight to my top playlist.

I definitely look forward to hearing more from Alexander.

Plagiarism

Heh, there's no doubt that the Russian piece is the inspiration behind the Hideo's franchise theme, they're so similar. This doesn't constitute plagiarism, I don't think, because the two themes differ enough. But, as it has been pointed out, the MGS rendition is waaaayy better. And the jazz is nice btw

EDIT: I think it was plagiarism if credit wasn't given to Sviridov, as it seems it wasn't since it took everyone by surprise when the similarity was pointed out. But I don't know that it constitutes copyright infringement, since the creative works differed enough. I'm not sure, though, since, at least in the original MGS theme the whole structure seems to follow Winter Road so closely. I dunno

Also, I take back that the MGS theme is waaaay better. After listening to Winter Road several times, I think it's extremely beautiful

I like the atmosphere this piece creates, and I really started to enjoy it when it started picking up some pace, I'd also like to frequent this fictitious bar =)

Ambience out the ass here. Absolutely screams of a smokey London wine bar, filled with light chatter, fine cigars, and the clinking of glasses, set against a wood-paneled backdrop.

Oh, yes, I dig. I really hope Mr. Bornstein keeps it up.
