Oh yes. This is great. The trumpet lead is a little too mechanical sounding,
but the brushed snares and loose piano give so much underlying
atmosphere that I'll forgive it. Gux covers the Darkworld theme
quite well, throwing a spin on it I wouldn't have expected. The improvish
piano solo is a great interjection into this nice little track. Very cool.

I have to agree whole-hearedly with pollard on this. I fell in love with the track for a few days long ago. Most of the instruments lack the "human" touch, but that shouldn't be a problem for people who love listening to NES bleeps-and-bloops. The piano does a more-than-decent job of making up for it anyways.

Props for the interpretation; jazz and Zelda are an unexpected duo, yet not entirely unfitting.

Yeah, the trumpet isn't real, but is indeed bitchin to some degree. I do agree with the lack of human touch, but hey, its not easy! Props-Gux.

This is one of the first, if not the first, remix I listened to. Zelda 3 is one of my favorite games and the Darkworld theme is my favorite tune from the game, so naturally I downloaded first. My preferences aside, when I first listened to it, I was just blown away by the quality of everything in this mix. Although it's nothing really fancy notewise, the instruments, the rythym, and how it was put together all makes complete sense, and most of all, sound good together. A definite must to download, esp. if you really love Zelda 3 like I do.

Default Good stuff...

For an electric horn, it sounds pretty damn good. I like. :)
There's only a few parts where it even sounds electric. The only way I could really tell is that there weren't enough pauses for breathing if someone were to actually play.
Everything else is awesome too. I like how it sticks with the original melody without throwing in a ton of different stuff. Simplistic in a very good way. :D

nice track but i think maybe dj p should change the review so it doesn't say that the trumpet is real. it took me a while to realize after i was listening to it that he meant the electric one... but then again I happen to listen to alot of jazz so i guess i grade those on a harder scale. but other than the review bolstering false hopes, which wasn't even the remixer's fault i'd have to say this is one of the better jazz remixes on the site.

This is a favorite of mine, mainly because it combines one of my favorite themes from Zelda 3 with jazz, one of my favorite types of music. Not really fancy when it comes to notes, but the rythym is wonderful, and it stayed true to the original very well while adding new material. The instruments aren't real, but at times, they almost sound like they are. Got to love the piano solo. An excellent ReMix, this gets my recommendation. Just download it now if you haven't already.

This track is just too sweet. I never really payed much attention to this theme in the game (which, by the way, is fantastic) but after this remix, I'm sure I will. The trumpet sound is just fantastic, fake or not. The piano is also nearly perfect. And the best of all, the rhythm of the trumpet: It just gives the track a very laid-back, cool and easy feeling, and that feeling remains in the track from the start to the end. Fantastic.

this piece is an orgasm. such an incredibly cool twist on this song. fake, not, WHO THE HELL CARES?? it sounds AWESOME. the bebop-ish cello in the back, and the piano folowing the trumpet (and later the highlighted piano solo, veeeery laidback) sound KOOL. the plates giving the beat and all the laid-backness of the song makes it absolutely enjoyable, you just cant denny the beauty of this song. incredible rearange, and one of the coolest covers that you will find in OCRemix. a site classic, and top 3 zelda 3 remixes. this song rules -period. GET IT NOW. and if you have it and are reading this, queue it on winamp and just, enjoooooooyyyy!

Cano.

beautiful.
