Like McDonald's ill-fated-slogan-of-the-moment, I'm lovin' it. This great, soul-bluesy Pilotwings 64 ReMix comes in from newcomer jcd (see jcdmusic.com for more), and is a refreshingly different type of jazz mix, going with a more bluesy, upbeat, feel (similar to the original) than most of the more reflective, even melancholy jazz arrangements we often hear. This just sounds like some guys jammin' on a weekend, for kicks, laid-back - or would, if the production weren't as effected and there was ambient noise, etc. With a deliciously greasy, swishy organ patch covering the bulk of the melody, there's a nice fat upright acoustic, electric piano, drums that stay out of the way but know when to get a bit funkier, competent mixing and processing (delay on the organ is just right), and a solo at 2'13" that at times sounds like a flute, others a soprano sax (mostly due to articulation), but always sounds good. This solo really opens up the end of the mix in a nice way, expanding the stereo field outwards just a little bit more. Nice major key ending with the electric piano. There's a wee bit of clipping or dirt, but it sounds built-in to the samples as opposed to indicative of mastering problems, and either way it didn't stop me from enjoying this mix, and I'd actually say it might have lended a little "sonic authenticity" - at any rate, this is a different type of arrangement for OCR, and for that uniquess and the quality of execution as well, is definitely recommended.
