Arranging the music of one song...
"Enemy Battle"
Primary Game: Super Mario Bros. 3 (Nintendo , 1988, NES), music by Koji KondoPosted 2003-04-17, evaluated by djpretzel
YES - got the funk. AmIEviL, after almost a year hiatus, returns with a badass old school brass/sax-driven arrangement from Super Mario Bros. 3 with, quite simply, some MEAN saxophone, delicious organ, funkalicious brass riffage, and one of the best overall acoustic all-out jams since the Estradasphere SMB2 ReMix we all know and love. This three-minute long, rocking little thang goes by real quick, so make sure to loop at least three-dozen times for full effect. This is the perfect type of arrangement for the source material, taken to new heights by an otherwordly-talented musician and arranger. AmIEviL's submissions to OCR have run the gamut from mellow to funky, techno to jazz, but have always gotten increasingly awe-inspiring, starting from an already high watermark to begin with. Stefan humbly writes: "I made this remix in the middle of the night, still a bit drunk after a party but full of energy. Although the alcohol may have affected my soloing at the end :).... Well well.... ". Would that all of us could create such work, regardless of our sobriety. From the raunch intro to the various soloing to the at times James Brown-ish ensemble riffs, to the dynamic drumming, this is just pure, 100% unadulterated fun. Even takes on a ska tone with offbeat hits around the middle, as the screamin' sax solo works its mojo. I told you this'd be worth the wait, and I don't think that was an exaggeration. Highly recommended.

Incredibly good stuff right here. Whenever I feel like listening
to something a little bit different from OCR, this song always
goes on. Groovy, upbeat, great solos, and the samples are
exquisite. Always brings a smile to my face and a tap to my foot

dang, somehow my original review to this got deleted.
I love the intro, the performances, and especially that sax. This song hits it's stride and brings it on home with a combination of groove and style.
The brass sounds excellent, and the solos are solid. A definite OCR classic.

Reminds me a little bit of Baby Elephant Walk, by Henry Mancini. I dig it.

Whoo! Hit me! I can hear the James Brown/ Blues Bros. riffage in this piece, and I'm loving it! The sax used for this remix nails it perfectly. Great work with the horns as well. It's quite a gem that I almost missed here.

Jazz is one of my favorite genres. Period. To see it this well done for one of the best games on the NES that I've played, Especially the sax work (it's what I play), is just what I should expect from someone like AmIEviL.

Love it. Amazingly well done with a nice 'feel good' theme.
Brilliant ending and a really great
counter melody. Kudos and I'm looking forward to more just like
this!
