It actually reminds me a lot of something a punk/ska band would do. In fact, had you not told me this was a game remix, I'd just guess this was some Reel Big Fish or some such band's instrumental I'd never heard.
I approve.

Bending genres is cool but sometimes it doesn't work out. Who would think to throw grungy electrectric guitar together with trombone, trumpet, organ, and copious percussion? What would that even be? Well it's EPIC, first of all, but my money's on jazz rock. I've never heard anything quite like this remix before and that's a shame but also puts it in a category all its own.
The guitar opens but soon the organ and then brass come in and you know you're in for a ride. All the major players get one or more shots in the limelight but they play supporting roles too. Heck, the upper parts so engaging that it's easy to overlook the fanatastic bass action going on for most of the song. And for a remix with no real weaknesses, the trombone is a real standout. As someone who played trombone through elementary, junior high, high school, and a little bit of college, let me assure you, this guy is good. Remixes don't get much more original or enjoyable that this. It's one of my favorites, so I hope you'll like it too. Enjoy!
