tgfoo Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Man, this is some good stuff, I've always been a fan of jazz, especially small combos. I was a little skeptical when I decided to listen to this song. I've listen to some of the other jazzish remixes on this site, and i wasn't too impressed. But this is great. You could have told me that this was done by a pro, and I'd probably beleive you. Good stuff. Quote
The_Wind_Waker8 Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 It's harder to like the music if you've never heard it in the game before. And i didn't like this song until I played through Four Swords Adventures. So now I'm really enjoying this song. Even though i'm not a huge fan of jazz, it's great. Great work Neskvartetten! Quote
watkinzez Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I just bought a pair of Sennheiser HD555s, and this was one of the first songs I used for a road test. Now I already knew the quality prevalent in this song, but now I can say that Neskvartetten sounds awesome. Mustin is right to have this in his top ten ever remixes. Brilliant. Quote
Radiowar Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Neskvartetten (had to copy and paste that) are my new favourite remixers on this site. This remix is the one that I wanted to hear Sanctuary Dungeon made into, as soon as I heard the trumpet in the original. Quote
Kanthos Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Not just any Miles Davis either; it screams "Bitches Brew/In A Silent Way". The sax player's tone sounded a lot like Bob Mintzer from the Yellowjackets. Quote
KogeJoe Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 At first, I didn't think this track could be mixed any other way... but the chords actually do well for a Jazz ensemble. GREAT sax work. Quote
42 Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 Very smooth and ambient, and great jazz I have to admit the intro wasn't to enticing for me;it's slow to start, but later on it gets going into something more substantial. All in all, a great mix. Quote
AmzRigh Posted November 20, 2009 Posted November 20, 2009 Wow, this sounds like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and John McLaughlin all at once. It's fantastic. Terrific work. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Interesting opening with some smokey sounding sax work and some rhythm section hints. Sounds all live, which is a plus, but i felt the arrangement was a bit meandering for my taste. I'm sure this will be a hit with a lot of people, but i'm not a huge fan. Sorry. Quote
Basementwall Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 This blows my mind. I love how in one sense it moves so far away from the original track, but in another sense (mood, chord progression) it stays so close to home. Perfect. Quote
PROTO·DOME Posted September 12, 2010 Posted September 12, 2010 Oh man, only recently have I discovered Neskvartetten, gotta say, some of THE best jazz I've heard. This one is a particular favourite, the arrangement is just fantasic, the melody is pulled about over the top of some wonderful chords. Simply awesome stuff, wish I could play sax like this guy.

Crulex Posted September 4, 2023 Posted September 4, 2023 A little trim in the opening and ending sections would have done wonders, but that's just my preferences coming in. The actual meat of the ReMix was great and it was pleasant to listen to. Not bad at all. Quote
