Holy shit. If you didn't give Mr. Mustin the massive props he deserved before, listen to this brief but brilliant badboy, which is an ESSAY in orchestration, and you'll see the light. For my money, this takes a great cue from film composer Danny Elfman, particularly his score to the first Pee-Wee herman movie (all jokes aside, a GREAT soundtrack) and turns the original Gauntlet music into something far, far better than it ever could have been on the hardware of the day. Anything that has a bassoon it has to be cool, right? Well, maybe not EVERYTHING, but definitely THIS. Heartily recommended - great, innovative stuff!!

Fun and crazy but the samples haven't aged well. There is also a pretty strong recording hiss from the piano. There is plenty going on throughout, and some nice interpretation, and good part writing. I wish it was a little longer, but there's only so much you can do with the source without writing your own song.

never played the game but wow man. that's tight. sounds like it could be an intro to a cheery and upbeat game like Klonoa or Paper Mario or something.

This one brought a smile to my face. It's cheery and nice, and while I haven't played Gauntlet too much I really enjoyed this one.

Quirky. But well coordinated. I like it, moreso since i dont recall that game having much in terms of music.

Can we get more gauntlet mixes? This was tasty.

Love it! Love how they brought in the main theme at 0:47! Great sound! I agree that gauntlet bloopers would be a must. This theme stays light and cheery but still has that dark feel of being in a dungeon and fighting for your life. It is very hard to combine those two but this has done a great job of it. This should be the theme song of the jester character from later Gauntlet games.

This is really a nice tune!!!! It gives me the feel of being in a dungeon, ready for battle anytime, but is also a funny theme.
A strange mix of moods but very nice.
GAUNTLET GAUNTLET!!!!

I can't listen to this without grinning. :D
I love it! Nice job!

Not exactly my cup of tea, but I give it two thumbs up for being original and well done. I would like to see a more sinister sounding Gauntlet mix. Listening to all of these songs is giving me many ideas for cool mixes. I don't know the first thing about mixing, but I am very musically inclined. Maybe I'll start getting into the mixing business myself. I think it would be a lot of fun.

Quality. Short and sweet.
To me, this one sounded like the opening theme for a TV show almost. Heh... Imagine Gauntlet the TV show....
The descending fifths part in the middle is probably my favorite part of the Gauntlet theme and I'm not only glad they put it in, but took a break from the oompa-driven feel of the rest of the track to do it justice.

Wow this is something, i viewed gauntlet as a very serious game, and i hear this that sounds like its right out of a circus .. this mix brings a good chuckle, actually a good laugh at the image of "gauntlet outtakes". Wich wuold be sort of funny
The sound is well clear, not too low quality, but the mix doestn stay very faithfull to teh game given its comical value.
Nonetheless, its worth a download, quite funny.

- TheWired on August 13, 2002

Damn, this is a spicy remix! It sounds like something straight from the Simpsons (obviously it's a nod to Danny Elfman). It's short, sweet, and just about all over the place, so download now for an...uh....GREAT remix.

- Adhesive_Boy on July 21, 2002

Nice rendition of the Gauntlet theme that makes you feel like you're right in the middle of a very cool dungeon crawl. Worth a download, but not the kind of mix you can listen to for 8 hours straight. Nothing much sticks out, but it's a good remix nonetheless, and a fun ride. Tiny file, so even you 56k-ers (like me) should get it!

- mDuo13 on July 21, 2002

Fun and goofy. Nice arrangement. Very little can be said about it.. just
go ahead and download it. It's wafer thin.
