Well, first and foremost: this piece is both beautiful and brilliant. I love how the melodies slow and speed up at a graceful, almost organic fashion. The dynamics, to me, are superb. I wish I had the patience to make a compo like this... *sigh*

This DOES feel nostalgic lol. 5/5 and two thumbs up DrumUltima.

Alex, it might be because he actually played it, not clicked it note by note.

Yeah, sub it. It's beautiful, and SMG needs remixes.

Agreeing with those before me.

I loved this theme in the game. You've definitely upped the ante for piano performance with this one. Amazing emotion and complexity without losing the source. It really speaks of a mastery of the instrument. Excellent!

Don't tell me you did this in one sitting.

I did, actually. That's why I'm reluctant to change anything... because i would have to start over!

YES!

This was pretty much the cutest shit ever when I played this game.

That's ridiculously impressive. I don't think there is any fault (are there any?) worth starting over.

Please submit it. Please, please, PLEASE submit it. It's absolutely brilliant.

Please?

[John Revoredo]

submit NOW!

[HoboKa]

Yes quite Doug- SUB PLZ. If your percussion mix made it in - this SHOULD, unless of course they decide to be extra Nazi-tastic.

[WillRock]

Doug, you are awesome

Sub it now

Sound is alright for me, playing is enjoyable to listen to.. enviable improv chops! I'm curious how much did you plan it ahead?

Alas, I'm not really feeling this as a whole. First three minutes it feels like it goes the same thing around over and over without really changing enough. Yes, there are actually a lot of variations but it feels like it keeps saying the same thing, you know. Then when it changes, it's like it bridges to a separate song. It pretty much keeps the pace from the previous movement, which makes it sound even more even. So, the flow didn't work for me.

I like the part from 4:11 onwards, I feel the piece really starts talking here. Left hand playing sounds kind of rugged and hesitant at places though, and it doesn't quite lift off the ground like it could.

It's still decent, but not a keeper for me. Looks like the opposite for many other commenters though.

I say: SUB THIS!! DO IT NAO!!!

This is light and beautiful and fluffy and nostalgic and all of those words and more. It's got a great sense of dynamic, which I really like

I've been dying to hear a SMG remix, and this delightful track delivers.

And to do this all in a one sitting, my hat goes off to you, good sir

So yeah, goes ahead, sub it, and see what happens.
