Ya know, as great as techno / electronica is, it's always fun when I get a submission in another musical genre. Thisjazzy ReMix of the temple theme from ZeldaII is arranged REALLY well by first-time contributor Michael Contraveos. Just listen to some of the piano colors and tones - very slick! Especially the upright bass pitch warble at the end - a great detail! I recommend this to everyone to check out how almost any song can be turned into a Jazz mix if done well. Major kudos to Mike.
Great take on the source material, it took me a while to figure out I was even listening to a Zelda II remix but once it hit me, it was a really cool feeling! Overall, I'm liking this a lot!

I know I've heard it before, but I guess it takes a closer listen to appreciate it. It doesn't really stand out among oldies, certainly not among newer remixes, but there are oldies I never want to hear again and then there are oldies I can listen to again and again. Of the two, this belongs in the latter category.

I love the power when the rhythm section comes in. Very understated but nice. It seems drum programming-wise that a little too much is going on, mostly with the hi-hat.
Three armed drummer? I guess maybe the arch nemesis of Rick Allen. "Hey give that back!"
Recommended for sure.

It starts with a classic jazz piano style intro, then moves into a more minimalist jazz trio sound once it gets into the actual temple theme.
What more can I say? Definitely worth a download.

I'm an even bigger fan of "Thelonius Temple Low" for it's grittier/"live recording"-type feel. Seems like most people have no idea where to get a copy of that nowadays, but my fellow Emory bro Electron was nice enough to hook me up with a copy.

This song is GREAT. The piano is unbelievably believable! The other instruments, not so much...But MAN this track is just totally solid! And I LOVE the title!

Niiiiice! I really like the piano on this one and the overall jazz motif. Very well arranged. I can't think of anything bad to say, except that the remixer has never done anything else besides this! That in itself is a shame. OK and I guess it could be a bit longer.
