Whoo! New Neskvartetten!

They've been one of my favorite remixers/groups on OCR, and it's great to see another one posted. I just love their smooth lounge style, especially with that guitar, and the more jazz remixes, the better. It's all good. Download or die.

Very mellow. Bring yourself straight to the lounge with this one.

Neskvartetten brings us here a very laid-back, smooth Jazz remix with his latest posting to OCR. The original tune is barely recognizeable, but might be familiar to those who have heard some of the artist's previous work - namely, "Link Goes to New Orleans". The whole song is rather minimalistic, but refers back to the source enough to be familiar.

This song is one of those interesting ones in that it doesn't strike you up front. You do not turn your head and notice this one right away, so in that sense, it differs from a lot of the other remixes on this site. However, it's well produced, and sounds amazingly natural. You literally slide right into this one. The organ is jsut right, and the bass is excellent.

However, I'd mostly recommend it to people who are rather appreciative of smooth jazz, because it moves along slowly, and not enough occurs in the duration of this mix to keep firm user interest. It moves along at a slow pace, and has a great improv feel to it, but when it passes, you might not even notice it's gone. There's a slight climax at 3:00, and a stronger one closer to 3:53, but the track does not change mood abruptly or vary strongly in volume. You get exactly what it is from the start - and nothing more, nothing less.

It's certainly worth listening to at least once, and jazz fans may really dig this. For me, it was a fascinating listen, but nothing I would repeatedly enjoy over and over again. Definitely worthy of being on OCR, for its uniqueness and the atmosphere that the track generates.

Neskvartetten! I love you!



I love all songs made by Nesk so far, I really do! His Jazz is so awesome and calming. It's nice to listen to when you don't feel like being eaten by the annoying techno beats and rave repeats that every freakin' remix has to have.....It's like my failproof fallback music if I every want to relax.

This song is absolutely genious in my mind. I love the jazz guitar that makes him so notorious. It's perfect and fitting for every beat of the song....I really don't know what else to say, other then calm, smooth perfection.

I really like this remix, it's very mello. It relaxes me, makes me feel like I dont have to worry about anything for a while. Great work Nes. I cant really get the tune, but I still love this jazzy remix

I havent heard a good jazz remix in a while so this is very nice..

Neskvartetten is a band, not a person.
"Ten Rupees" is truly great... although I still think that "Ganon's Temple" is a step above everything else. Oh, and this song is like two years old. afk.

Neskvartetten. You can never go wrong with these guys, and their Zelda bias molds well with me anyhow (yeah, I'm a Nintendo fanboy, what you gonna do 'bout it?).

Loving the laid back nature of the mix. The arrangement is great, as per usual for Neskvartetten. A friend of mine thinks that they only play the main melody once and then go off at a tangent for the rest of the mix, but the reality is that the source is evident for the whole song. I'd love to see these guys live.

I usually read the review before downloading a piece, but I saw the name Neskvartetten and grabbed it immediately. I wasn't disappointed. Smooth stuff as always.

Hahaha wow. I had this a long time ago, but I lost a lot of music in some big hard drive problem.

This will be good for the guys who've lately wanted some good jazz [jazzy?] stuff on the site.

While I'm not really a fan of sparse, abstract jazzy music [I'm too unsophisticated for it I guess], it's a clearly well-done, professional piece.

Good job :)
