I'm just playing Yoshi's Story via Switch Online.. it's great fun to listen to this track!

I'm surprised I haven't commented on this before! I checked out this mix ages ago because I was familiar with the music from SF1 and 2. I loved it! This is a chill piece with an interesting progression and a lovely, lovely synthy sound to it. But since then I've played Sword of Hajya - the original Shining Force Gaiden 2 for the Game Gear, and there was one tune on that that was my particular favourite - amazing, just amazing. I didn't recall for sure if this ReMix was arranging the same source material - and sure enough it is! It's a very, very creative take on it too.. So good!

Unreleased games are always interesting when they get released, but this is a super cool one thanks to the Follin soundtrack!

Wonderful tune! But a bit hard to process with my rearrangement approach 😬

Uuu, a special round. I haven't played Advance Wars games much, but I am a fan of the Nintendo DS in general.

I propose an album of ocarina-lead jazz in the spirit of Dave Brubeck's work such as the Time Out album.

A cool and fresh take on this wonderful source tune! So much so that I literally got excited on the first listen. I felt like some of the chip leads and other synths were punching through the mix a little bit loudly. Overall though, it's a very enjoyable and unique track! I love the incorporation of the electric guitar for example!

Cool tune! The game looks fun too. I do remember the previous Vatlva compo piece. 😸

Submitted a little ditty!

☝️Could the titles be fixed? Thank you!

This tune is so awesome! I have an idea.. maybe I'll try to do at least a rough draft of it.

Heh, just recently started playing the SFC game on Switch Online. This is indeed a fun song!

Sounds sweet!

A pretty addictive ReMix. Weird in a lovely way!

I just realized https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03565 is incorrectly capitalized, it should be "Siilin melankolia" (small 'm') edit: Same goes for https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR03237 - should be "Miljoonamiehen muistelmat" (small 'm' at the second word again). Did someone go back and un-correct these perhaps? 😸 In Finnish, only the first word of the title is capitalized.

Oh wow, that's cool!

Lovely, lovely stuff! I want to try this style too 😸

So many cool tunes ... !

Voted!

The "vibrato by jiggling the key sideways" thing is certainly something I instinctively try to do when playing a synth 😸

Submitted a tune!

And one more iteration: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9mz8x5t4f4hfxwi/eino_keskitalo_-_sieluraiteet-20230106-rc5.mp3?dl=0 (edit: correct link)
