OCR01585 - Super Mario Bros. 2 "Lizardiño Slayer Quartet"

[Marmiduke]

I'd be very surprised if this mix wasn't modeled off of Maxwell's Silver Hammer. The likeness is uncanny, and as a tribute to that great Beatles song and a great Koji Kondo song, I can't think of how it could be done any better.

Very much a conceptual piece, but not necessarily without extra merits. It's got great variety, it packs a lot of material and instrumental diversity into its swift running time, and its showcases the jazzy side of SMB2. It's a nicely crafted, well wrapped package that doesn't seem capable of offending anyone's ears. I wouldn't class it as super special, but its fun sound gives it staying power.

Holy shit, that guitar is so damn funky! I'm big fan of ilp0's stuff, but this one is a standout example of his musical skills - everything is 100% perfect. Every litle detail - from vibes to guitar is extremely neat and works very well. Sick stuff!

something very Beatles-ish.

This would actually mesh pretty well with the vocals from "Maxwell's Silver Hammer". If someone does it, I'd listen to it a lot!
