Whipping with style

In the Beginning There Was Jazz

From: Castlevania III

Remixed by: LSD, Shnabubula

I'll give you three guesses what the genre of this remix is. What? Jazz, you say? Yes! This would obviously be jazz even if it was just the piano but what puts it over the top is the copious percussion. Makes you feel like you're in some smokey little joint enjoying...whatever it is you might fancy to relax while the guys on the piano and drumset show off. It's a very high energy jazz mix, which might sound contradictory to its jazz stylings but it works. The piano does do some improv-ish stuff in the middle but it doesn't overstay its welcome. So sit back, relax, take a drink, and enjoy some music.

Note: It occurs to me now that I've finished that I did a Castlevania remix last week. Sorry, folks. Bit of an oversight there. Also, my apologies to NSonic79 who much prefers his Castlevania tunes rockin' Wink

I'm a total Jazz hound and Castlevania nut so that was right up my ally.

Yay! Glad you liked it. I prefer my music more melodic than a lot of jazz but this is good stuff.

I like Jazz too.  This was definitely interesting.

There's a similar one (done by someone else) from Contra III. I'll have to post that sometime Smile

No probs on the dual castlevania posts. You should see about doing this in october during the halloween month. It would liven up the pace of songs that are usually heard during the holiday.

Speak of liven, and you might find this odd, but I'm actually LIKING this rendition. I think I didn't like your last posting because of my current hatred for Mufford and Sons or whatever the popular acostic guitar band is popular right now. I keep hearing them at work every hour on the hour and I want to gouge my eardrums out whenever I hear it!

this is dually suprising too since I didn't consider myself a big fan of Jazz myself. but I could hear this at a night scene. But you are right though, I do love me some rockin castlevania tunes.

I'm glad you liked it, against all odds lol. I'll do my best to get some creepy songs for October. I've got one in mind already...

Love it. Relaxing, but not down-tempo really. It does sound like a background for a night club.

Yeah, probably the night club from Snatcher Wink

The Konami Club, I guess
