The King's Quest games arguably did more for the adventure genre, at least on the PC platform, than any other series, so it's nice to finally see some coverage from one of the more memorable entries in the venerable epic, courtesy of Mr. Tim Bocek, known better on OCR as Orkybash. He's been a bit busier on the ReMixing front lately, but I especially dig this piece, which feels fuller and livelier than previous works. Maybe I'm just a sucker for harpsichords and clarinets, both of which figure strongly in the picture Tim paints here, along with strings, flutes, and french horn. Not entirely sure bout the transition at 2'20", but other than that brief spell, this is an enjoyable, articulate instrumental with excellent sound quality and a very upbeat sort of renaissance feel to it - you can just see the town folk bustling about, merchants peddling their wares, and artisans sculpting and painting in front of large, flowing fountains. Or something like that. Whether or not you have cliched visions of provincial townsfolk or not, I think you'll dig this mix. Not too long, not overly ornate or flowery, it strikes a great harmony and feels very balanced. Recommended.
