ReMix:Super Mario Bros. 2 "Gypsy Jazz" 2:26

There's indeed something authentic and charming about this mix, that it just makes me happy to hear it. I think OA said it perfectly, cause I could easily hear this playing in the background of an old Pixar shorts video they used to have before the main movie started back in the 90's. Neat mix.

This is like a window in time of a moment of inspiration - a man and his guitar recording something totally unique, that will never be played the same way again. That's the "charm" I find in this piece. If he'd played it the day before, it would have been too sloppy, if he'd recorded it the day after, it would have been too polished. The recording we have here is in that tiny window where the sequencing of the NES meets the human Adrian Holovaty, and while simple, is perfectly imperfect.

This makes me all tingly and happy. It's a perfect version of the tune, totally in keeping with the original. It sounds like an old record you'd find at a yard sale or second hand shop.

This would be prefect in some sort of indie animated feature; it's tailor made for that kind of thing. Overall very conservative, but exceptionally charming. decent but not pristine playing, and warm but not ideal recording give this a lot of additional character that flawless playing and production would have detracted from.

Very nice stuff.

Very, very good. The quality and arrangement is handled

flawlessly. A pleasure listening to this remix. More like this,

please.

Beautiful and fun, I love the style and the performance, one of my all time favorites. I play this mix for people who think they won't like "remixes," or think "remixes are all techno." I hope to hear more!

(Also, makes a great ringtone.)

I was wondering what gypsies and jazz had anything to do with this mix, but after reading what Wikipedia had to say, it all makes sense now.

The beauty of the mix is in its simplicity.

This is a reminder to the world that ~everything~ doesn't have to be boom/bust, life/death, now/never, "the world's gonna end now!!!", etc; it's an incredibly nice "stop and smell the roses" kind of mix.

This is an absolute must download.

I've recently discovered musette and manouche music (gypsy swing/jazz), they're perfect for chilling and drinking some wine or a good beer. Gypsy Jazz has become a new favorite in my playlist!

My lady, "The Lady", enjoyed this piece so much that she wrote about it over at our blog, VG Frequency. She felt a lot of connections to other great non-VGM music and enjoyed the arrangement a lot having played the game.

Take some time out and drop her a comment over at the blog. Even if you stumble on it way after we posted this. We'll still hug you.

Nothing short of totally awesome.

Gotta love that rag tag feel to it. And yeah, the mic and recording quality really did it. It's these little creative touches that make a remix stand out as cool I believe.

I don't believe I have to comment on the actual instrument work. It speaks for itself.

I feel like playing a game of stick ball now...

About friggin time someone did some Gypsy, I think other than jazz-rap, this is my favorite jazz type.

I actually like the crappy microphone quality...sounds more like it was from a record, haha.

Loved the improv, but wish it was a bit longer cuz I think the source stuff was longer than it, aw well.

Awesome job man!

Oh! If ya ever do another Django style song, you should definitly lookinto having some violin in there too

Thad make it authentic gypsy times 5!

As much as I am a fan of lo-fi there is a note at around 0:39, and to a lesser extent one at 1:02, that makes my ears explode. Oww volume disparity. Otherwise this is enjoyable.

As musical layman from the technical point of view, all i can say is this music is fantastic. Laid back and perfect for relaxing, simple yet with personality. Congrats on a job well done ^^

Simple and groovy. Not too much to say otherwise. It's creative and cheery.

Prooves that simple can still triumph.
