Julian X Thanks Julian. We did the takes off this one. Eric (the keyboard player) freestyled a different intro each time. Glad you liked the arrangement!
I went here expecting to hear the insane arpeggio wich plays arround the whole original song. I didn't hear it, but, it doesn't matters because you guys definetely did an insanely and amazing job.
That's great! Just curious... Did you find us through a similar VGM TH-cam video recommendation, Twitter or some other source? Our next cover is going live next Monday (12/11).
I love you guys. One of the best takes on VGM I've heard yet! Truly dig the jazzy vibe P.s. the Metroid cover you guys do is complete tits. That's a good thing.
Just discovered you guys last week! AMAZING! Wondering if you would consider a Pokemon Red/Blue mash up...i think it'd come out great...YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
So cool! We'll check out the Pokemon song request. Thus far we've only covered games that we've actually played, but we're open to start picking songs just based on the song alone.
Thanks, Rafael! We're happy with any number of views that we can get. Even if a video has between 500-1000 views, that's still more people than we would get at a live show locally.
Excellent choice of music. I would like to inquire if you would like to cover Mario Kart themes like Thwomp Ruins, Double Dash Luigi Circuit, or the main theme of the SNES Mario Kart?
Thanks for the recommendations! We try to feature songs from games that we actually played. I didn't play the first two games/levels you referenced, but I definitely remember the SNES Mario Kart theme. I'll look into an arrangement for a future recording session!
PLEASE COME BACK
This is NOT how i expected Riddle will sound.
And i love it.
Holy shit this is incredible ❤
Someone call the fire department. The vibes player is ON FIRE
This is the smooth jazz that plays in every tavern in Wallachia.
I'm there man lol
FRICK that was hot
Thanks! We had a blast recording it.
The sax is INSANE!
ENCONTRÉ ORO!
Oh, hi, yes, I'd like to request Contraband to cover ALL of Castlevania III, please?
K, thks
I second this! I'd argue Castlevania III has the best soundtrack of the series, and gets a lot of playtime on my iPod haha
Imagine trevor just chilling with a whiskey at a jazz bar lol casually whipping vampires
Damn... That intro is god-tier level.
This is so damn cool... This tune used to make me wanna slay Dracula real bad... now I just wanna jam with him
Interesting fugal section at the beginning. Very very nice arrangement.
Julian X Thanks Julian. We did the takes off this one. Eric (the keyboard player) freestyled a different intro each time. Glad you liked the arrangement!
Man that bass tone... and that hollow-body guitar... serious swoonage.
We're glad you enjoyed it!
PITIFUL HUMAN!!!!! YOUR KIND CANNOT DEFEAT ME NOW!!!!!
I went here expecting to hear the insane arpeggio wich plays arround the whole original song. I didn't hear it, but, it doesn't matters because you guys definetely did an insanely and amazing job.
Haha... We still love arpeggios though! Thanks for checking it out. Glad you enjoyed it. :)
WHAT IS A JAZZ?? [flings his wine glass aside] A GENEROUS PILE OF REVELATIONS! BUT ENOUGH TALK!
This must be the best arrangement ever, greetings from Mexico!

Sick intro heard the sax was a little skeptical but man I'm glad I gave it a chance I definitely would have missed out on a great jam session

One of the best takes on VGM I've heard yet!
Truly dig the jazzy vibe

Thank you for listening!
You guys would do an amazing cover of Waltz of Pearls.
Great arrangement! Can you do Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania?
nythepremier I can definitely look into doing an arrangement of that one for a future session!
5 stars
Personally i dont like jazz cover of game music, but this is just WOOOW.
Just discovered you guys last week! AMAZING! Wondering if you would consider a Pokemon Red/Blue mash up...i think it'd come out great...YOU GUYS ROCK!!!
So cool! We'll check out the Pokemon song request. Thus far we've only covered games that we've actually played, but we're open to start picking songs just based on the song alone.
I wish these guys were still doing this. I would _love_ for them to take a stab at some of the music from Breath of Fire 3.
These guys are still in Seattle. Just a case of getting the band back together. Because this one could turn goat piss into gasoline!
I dont understand how come this has so many views. Jesus christs those guys are fucking monsters
Thanks, Rafael! We're happy with any number of views that we can get. Even if a video has between 500-1000 views, that's still more people than we would get at a live show locally.
Do all CV III please!
can i request mad forest or aquarius next? this game had bomb ost
Excellent choice of music. I would like to inquire if you would like to cover Mario Kart themes like Thwomp Ruins, Double Dash Luigi Circuit, or the main theme of the SNES Mario Kart?

Many thanks for the music, and for listening to suggestions and recommendations. I hope the best for you.
When I fired the intro it felt like I had just ran into Dracula himself
Sounds like a gothic cowboy bebop chase sequence.
Just wished a better camera for the vibes - minor complaining ;)
The bass guitar………….
