Second Geoffrey's comment. This track is honestly the version I subconsciously wanted ever since SM64's launch day.

Absolutely loving this. Could handle a whole album of it…just saying ?

OMG I absolutely love this. Caught the Radiohead homage even before reading the write-up. Would love to hear more like this!!

Absolutely brilliant. Can't help but crave more now…concept album, anyone?? ?

Just wanted to pop in and say how much I loved this. Brilliant work!

Congrats Woody! Been following you on YT for awhile…really enjoy what the organ brings to these classics! ?

Followed on Soundcloud. Love this!!

Fair enough; to each their own, I say. And hey, I'm open to vocal remixes...I still listen to all of the new releases to give each a chance and judge them on their individual merits, and in this case, that openness was rewarded. LOVED this one Great work all around. ::thumbs up::

Whoa, whoa, whoa. First, I never said hate. I just said they're not really my thing. I also don't like modern country music. So what? Second, labelling someone "dumb" for their musical tastes is unbecoming for a community leader, immature, and just not very nice in general.

I've been pretty outspoken in the past about my opinion of vocal remixes, but this....THIS is brilliantly done. That guilty-pleasure vibe through and through totally works. Cheers!

Thanks for the mp3 version! I liked this. Wasn't personally bothered by any of the synthetics, and it was just pleasantly relaxing to listen through. Names? Hmm... Midna Sonate Fantastique? Feels like some whimsical name with French is apt. Cheers though!

How fun is this!? Love it. Keep it up!

awesome... any way to get just the instrumental track?

Thanks for your reply. I might have not been specific enough, but I wasn't saying I or any other non-judge should be part of the selection process. I was more addressing the cavalier attitude the judge was tossing around in an attempt to rudely pacify an opinion he doesn't share, immediately after asking for peoples' opinions. I sincerely hope his attitude and personality are offset by more rational and objective talent on the panel; something which pains me to say after enjoying the man's site and work for a decade and a half :-\ That was overkill for reading far too much into what I wrote, but thank you for being so empirical. I do admit that my bias of not enjoying the lyrical tracks colors my perception, and that's all I said, that it "seems" like there are more than ever...lately, not literally, and not since the historical beginning. Anyway, thanks for taking the time. As for the "consider the fans", I did not in any way mean that my nor any other site visitor's opinions be considered in the judging process necessarily, and not to make it any type of public voting/popularity contest. Just that rudely dismissing long-time visitors' opinions after explicitly requesting them in the OP doesn't really instill much confidence in a judge's ability to be fair, impartial, etc. It also doesn't say much that an officiating member of the site would brashly and curtly speak for everyone (staff and all of the site's traffic) to swat down with such a strong hand, a very passive, informal suggestion that in all honestly would cause precisely zero negative side-effects, yet benefit all users in their ability to find the content on the site most relevant to their tastes. And for the record, I have never said, please OCR, quit posting lyrical remixes. I see the value in posting them for those who do enjoy. I was mostly saying that because some of us do not particularly care for them, it would be great to have some way of denoting them (i.e. metadata, etc) that would be searchable, so we can quickly tell. Obviously a separate site is hyperbole, but the core idea above is a sound suggestion.

I never said I wanted it; I'm not qualified in musical production. However, as a patron of the site since 1999-2000, and a lifelong music lover, I am qualified and entitled to have an opinion, which is what you solicited in the OP. It just so happens that 98% of the time I just don't get into the homespun written-and-sung lyrics, regardless of quality, which I can at least appreciate creatively. That's why I say "sometimes" it would be nice to have all of those somehow separated, especially since they seem to be more common than ever. Unfortunately for me, lately it feels like lyrical new releases outnumber the instrumentals, which I prefer. If you are a judge, hopefully your wisdom includes considering the fans..all of them. That's it, thanks and carry on.
