It had my feet tapping...which is good cause I normally dont groove to the music Im streaming when Im in the fourth floor IT lab...

Anyways, I quite like it.

I like the choice of instruments, yes...thats prety good and I like the style you went for, but when it cuts to the flute playing the melody it sounds kinda like muzak that they play in supermarkets...and then the piano solo enforces this.

Not that is necessarily a bad thing...Im just not in a muzak mood right now.

Another solid remix from McV.

Well done, sir...this is brilliant ^_^

So I was listening to this track YET AGAIN and I had the insatiable desire to tell the world how unbelievably amazing it is. Every time I hear this track, it gets better. I'll be chilling and will pick up something new in the background that I hadn't noticed before.

I haven't even played Sonic 3 and I love the track. I can't even imagine how much this track would rock if I had played it. Unsurprisingly, another great track from McVaffe. Keep 'em coming.

Wow! Once in a while you find a song that just blows you away, and I think I just found one! This song has definitely changed the lens on my musical glasses. It was the first of McV's songs that I've heard and that's what got me hooked on his music specifically! All the soloes tied together create a nice harmonic piece that's lively and irresistable to the gamer's playlists. Anyone reading this should also thinking about getting Ice Capped, from my perspective it isn't quite as good as this one, but it's another one of those songs I listen to on a daily basis. To me, McV is the game music god of them all, even better than djpretzel (remember this is my opinion). Check out McV's site at www.gamemusician.com for most, if not all, of McV's songs.

The song lends itself to a good latin beat.

Only problem I find is, I think the remixer could have done more. There's that flute again...

Don't get me wrong. Flute CAN work in the correct setting. LATIN even. It just... doesn't work here... And I heard a wrong note in the base in the bridge area.

The chords are IV, *I6, and a I6/4, and that wrong 4th scale degree really throws the music off.

OK work. Needs improvement though.

I gotta disagree with KogeJoe, I think that flute solo is hot, and then another banging piano solo? How did I miss this song for so long?

The sequencing on this is great, and there are tons of details that really set it apart; compared to a lot of the 2001 OCR releases, the quality of this track is incredible; subtle and expertly panned percussion, well layered backing instruments, and a ton of solo goodness. Some of the samples are weak, such as the harp, but the way they are layered really plays to their strengths.

Fantastic work, and a great surprise for the beginning of the week.

Mmm... Lite Latin Groove. :-)

It's a little dated so it sticks a little close to the source, but this at times breaks out into some funky little ditties with the piano and the flute. In the end, it doesn't feel too fancy or extravagant, but it's a really nicely done and wrapped up packaged of a mix that all should at least check out.

I think the flutes were fantastic, myself. A bit of a bouncy fun ReMix that takes the special stage and runs it through a tropical latinlite melody car wash. Or ReMix wash, if you prefer. I do think it fades out a bit too quickly at the end, but this is a case of the pros outweighing the cons for me. Not bad, not overly amazing, but all in all it's solid and it sounds good.

Another classic MkVaff that continues to live on my playlist. Not a fan of how one prominent effect has aged, but overall it fades away into the loveliness of the rest of the remix. Speaking of fading, I also agree that the ending could have been drawn out a bit more.
