Oooooh, yes, give me all the noir jazz! This is perfect for a lounge style setting. Smooth and sexy, fantastic mix all around.
-
The final transition into the piano before the guitar was really nice. I actually got some later Kirby boss vibes from the piano and synth especially around 1:30, just from how the beats hit that "dun dun pause dun dun pause repeat" while the rest of the melody played. Damn good track and one of my favorites off of Feature Length.

Aquatic Ambience is great, but I always like Water World a bit more and appreciated it's dark, mysterious tone that really put the danger of the deep into perspective, so it's cool to see this ReMix take that tone and enhance it along with a shot of lo-fi to really sell that atmosphere. So good, guys.

Really digging the vocal performance here, stellar J-Pop ReMix that just fits the usual anime-esque vibe. Honestly, with the way the year has gone, having a few ReMixes lately having a sense of "had it rough, but there is hope" is super fitting. Very much loved listening to this.

This is the kind of arrangement I've wanted from this theme since I heard it as a kid. The counter melodies really do lend themselves to a call and response song and this having a theme of finding the strength to crawl out of a dark place, like a collapsed mine, towards the light is beautiful. Incredible mix.

Wholeheartedly agreed that this gives me some Wind Rose feels big time and might be my favorite take on Jib Jig so far. This is gorgeous and perfect for setting off on a kick-ass adventure! Highly recommended and playlist bound.

From the vibraphone and shakers, I almost got a groovy old school spy feeling going on with this one. Love the scratch sfx and the overall arrangement of the source here.
-
This is cool, not too often that I hear a chill rendition of Dedede's theme, so this is a great change of pace. Could take this on a city at night drive and would feel just fine. Very nice.
-
Gives me a big "shanty party in a tavern" vibes during the Jib Jig bits, and it's neat to see the boss theme work into it as I also didn't realize the motif similarities. This is really good.
-
Ooooh, that bassy beat hits so good! Damn, that gives this mix a hell of a swagger. This is a pretty cool arrangement of one of my favorite DKC2 themes, very much enjoyed it.
-
100% agree with Emulator, this is "lay back, close your eyes and drift off" music at it's finest. Loved the cello, the flute sounded great and gotta have those birds! I can definitely chill with this.
-
Piano ReMixes have always sounded lovely to me and this one is no different. Of all the songs from the Reflections collection, I think this is definitely one of my favorites. It's so good.
-
Gorgeous ReMix, just lovely to lie back and listen to. Rich woodwinds really gives it that ambient Zelda feel, or at least when I think of it anyway. Tripp and the arrangers she works with always deliver and this milestone mix is no different. Love it.
-
Really like how the fusion rock is injected into these themes while keeping the watery ambiance going strong to make it both beautiful and groovable. And admittedly I'm a sucker for Lockjaw's Locker, so those nods were very welcomed to hear. Love this mix.
-
Always loved this song on the album. The reggae flair fits the Overworld theme nicely and comes off very relaxing, but still upbeat. I dig it.
-
This is hilarious and super fun. I could imagine Diddy and Dixie sneaking onto this ride while trying to get to the other side of Kremland only to be equally amused and horrified by a kremling rendition of small world. Very well done with all the singers together and the performances with the pre and post ride announcers. Great idea, great execution, fantastic ReMix.
-
So happy with all the Smithy love lately. This ReMix is fantastic, putting some much needed energy and aggression into the chill theme as the guitars wail on. The SMB3 airship cameo was nice as well. Been looking forward to hearing this for a long, long time and it was a million times worth the wait, especially that breakdown and menacing bit near the end from 2:36 to 3:00. Recommended as hell.
-
I love how well these two themes just fit together perfectly. The funky and groovy bits of Death by Glamour keeping up with the driving force of Smithy's theme and making everything jazzy was awesome to hear. Great mix of two of my favorite killer robots.
-
Yeah, I love this. I really can imagine this as an Alpha take of Fei Long's theme and just groove out to it. It's always awesome to see a style so well represented that the arrangements make sense. Strong debut mix.
-
I always loved the Turned into a Rabbit theme from Link to the Past and how it drove home that you were in a very different and dangerous place when you got a sneak peak in the mountain tower of the Dark World. Hearing an arrangement that adds more wonder and exploratory tones to it does indeed restore some old memories of trying to explore without your abilities for that little bit. This is excellent.
-
This is fantastic! Glad to see Ace Attorney getting more love lately. Everyone did an awesome job with the performance and arrangement, but I really gotta give props for the violin and flute in this mix. So great, love this.
-
Started off with some weird vibes, but man did this ReMix really hit the nail on the head for giving the questioning theme an energetic yet tense feeling. The background vocals are great and tied things together. This is very well done.
-
I quite enjoyed this, and while I can understand where others may not have cared for the intro, I liked the joke. This is a very solid arrangement and the strings sound very good. Love the way the dungeons were used here. Really nice debut mix.

The opening having that heartbeat-like sound was the perfect way to intro this and I appreciate it coming back midway for a bit. I like that this mix gets straight to the point and gives you what you want, which is a well-arranged version of Fear Factory. Strong sound, very clean, well done.
