paperCrane Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 Seriously, when I heard the klezmer-esque clarinet I just had to laugh. All of the tracks on the first disc are great but this one really made me smile when I heard it as part of the kickstarter preview. Great mix! Now let's get some real klezmer on OCR! Quote
swansdown Posted July 1, 2013 Posted July 1, 2013 This one makes me laugh. XD And I love the rhythm. :3 Most Listened Album Track? I think so n_~ Quote
FenixDown Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I remember this track from the voting competition from a few months back (or however long ago it was). I have to say, after hearing this track and his Mt. Koltz arrangement on the first disc of the FFVI album, if XPRTNovice wasn't on my radar before, he definitely has my attention now. Awesome job all around. Quote
DarkSim Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 This is goddamn amazing. Super-clear production and performance, a foot-tappy rhythm, and some touches of genius like the train-track sample make this an instant classic. Nice one, Joe! Quote
Chimpazilla Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Omg, Joe. Just wow. Gypsy jazz, klezmer arrangement with your super expressive and cheeky clarinet lead, and Young Frankenstein all together? I'm in music (and comedy movie) heaven. Performed and produced to your usual level of XPRTise. Nice. Quote
Crulex Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Klezmer on the phantom train? Haha, yeah! This is freaking infectious and you just can't help but move around with this one. Great clarinet and amazing production combined, oh man it's just too much fun going on here. Sweet. Quote
Forrest Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 This jam is SO catchy; it's well recorded, well played, well mixed, well written. I loved it as soon as I heard it. Totally infectious remix and most definitely one of the best out of them all. Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Oh man, I could hear the Caravan Palace influence in there from the beginning. This is one seriously swingin' track! Quote
Mlada Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I remember this track from the voting competition from a few months back (or however long ago it was).

Awesome job all around. This...everything I've seen his name on with this project I've loved the track. He's on my radar.... Quote
YoshMaster Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Holy... You are AWESOME!!! I LOVE you...!! I love this genre so much!! I was about to run to the comments to write that it reminded me so much of Caravan Palace, a group I absolutely ADORE but then I saw that it WAS indeed an inspiration!! One of the best remix I've heard in quite some time, months at the very least, maybe even years! I will follow your career with great interest Mr.XPRT Quote
CarnCarby Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Been having trouble getting to the rest of the album, because this one seems to be stuck on repeat. So great. Quote
Moguta Posted July 15, 2013 Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Honestly had no idea what I was in for until 0:34. Love how the subdued intro accelerates into some ol' timey modern swing. If there's one thing OCR needs more of, it's swing jazz. The "old speaker"-filtered dialogue added nicely to the old-school atmosphere. And that ending is perfect. Too many songs try to wind down at the end, instead of finishing in such a triumphant climax of a note. Wasn't even a song I was particularly looking forward to, and turned out to be one of my favorites. Good job, dude! Also, can someone add "swing" to the tags? XPERT's inspiration, Caravan Palace, is electro-swing and while I'm not qualified to speak on klezmer this is definitely swing style. Edited July 15, 2013 by Moguta Quote
WeirdOregonian Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Hah! Yes! Clarinet is underrepresented but this guy is a clarinet wizard. I can't stop listening and hope I can remotely approach his level of skill with the clarinet playing. Quote
Black_Doom Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Ah, a typical XPRTNovice mix with some whistling, clarintet and acoustic guitar. Love how greatly all samples are used here. Most of all the train samples. They create very nice rhythm, accompanied by killer jazz instrumentation, for sure. Cool! Quote
Nostalvania Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 Fun arrangement with some neat ideas, like the use of the train samples. My only little nitpick is the sluggish piano at 3:09 - 3:11. Otherwise, great instrumental performances, especially on the clarinet. That ending with the long sustained note was the icing on the cake Quote
