Opterion Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Love this track, And great job to Mustin with his instrumental capabilities. Everything sounds great in this, from guitar to the harmonica solo. The only downside is that the track's a little quiet overall, but hey, that's nothing to be picky about, it just gives me a reason to kick up the volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I have to admit the introduction at the beginning is a very classy; it really sets the tone for the rest of the song. I can almost imagine this being played at some resort at like Cancun or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Nice intro, and i was feelin' the sound of this overall. The trumpet was pretty weak, some intonation and breath support issues there, but otherwise, the rest was awesome. Nice harmonica, and though the production wasn't pristine, the same room sound made it feel really live. Short and sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pachi Risu Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Good remix. Would have been nice if the remix was longer. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Polo Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 A really relaxing, lounge-y feeling piece. Mustin does a great job on all the instruments he plays here; production sounds really warm, it feels like Mustin's right there (with a backing band of other Mustins, o'course) serenading you on a beach (or similar seaside locale). ... sweeeet.

Crulex Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 First things first, the vocal intro is pretty cool. Add to the fact the all these instruments were played live and create a great "cabana" feeling is huge. This is nothing short of epic and probably one of Mustin's best ReMixes.

SChepulis Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Warm and Lighthearted - 4/5 - - - I love the feel to this - as stated very cabana-esque! The only faults that I hear are the overall quality of the track, but at the same time the strength of the performance is good enough to overshadow it. Fun remix!

Marmiduke Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Completely forgot that SMB3 World 3 was the forefather of the Fairy Fountain theme from Zelda. Epic as hell. Mustin does a tremendous job with the material here, and on a technical level, its a powerhouse. Effective as synthetic instruments are, I think a mix like this proves just how beneficial and special live instruments are, particularly when it's 100% live acoustic. Though it does show signs of being pieced together and not recorded in the one session, it hardly makes a difference. The live vibe is there, and it sounds great. I liked the sax and the harmonica lead, whereas other elements veered on the edge of being lost in the back. A close and focused listen really brings those elements out though. Overall, this brings a lot to a very simple melody. It's catchy, elegant and overall, it has an awesome personality thanks to its intimate approach and live emphasis. Feel good stuff.

AustNerevar Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I can't stop listening to this. It's one of the best interpretations of the SMB World 3/Fairy Fountain theme, up there with Solace by The Joker and 2P, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustin Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks, yo! I'm planning on redoing this as a video, spruced up in the now. We'll see how long it takes me, but watch out for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCD1 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I'm wondering if that video ever got made! Regardless, this piece is still hanging out on my playlist. Great take on the source, always a pleasure to listen to this smooth tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
