"Float Islands" (Kirby's Dream Land) LIVE Jazz Cover // J-MUSIC Pocket Band
Музыка
Our live cover of "Float Islands" from Kirby's Dream Land, originally composed by Jun Ishikawa. This arrangement by Patrick Bartley.
We're so freakin' astonished by the variety of grooves, sounds, and emotions Ishikawa-san has been able to get out of the early Kirby soundtracks, it's just mind-blowing. Even more mind-blowing is how the stages are represented so well from these soundtracks, given that, thematically, the characteristics of the songs are all so similar. When approaching this arrangement, we wanted to keep the original "floaty" vibes of the stage (which is already so easy if you just play the parts and the melody, since they're written so well!), while finding ways to implement our personal feelings about what the song COULD be - resulting in some of our favorite moments from this session! Pat, Ben, and Jake go in on this one, creating really memorable solos from the jump. We hope you enjoy this simple arrangement with some fun solos and groovy backbeats!

My jaw hit the fucking floor. That was absurdly smooth.
I think this is the best one yet. Holy crap that sax solo, with the Earthbound reference in the middle! Then accordion and marimba kill it as well, everyone was on point. Kirby is best NES soundtrack btw
Holy SHIT that drummer. SUCH a good arrangement, and an even better performance. I cannot praise this highly enough- it turns my childhood enjoyment into AWESOMENESS.

I can only surmise from his solo that as a child, Jake Chapman was orphaned by that marimba because I just heard him killing it! This brought me miles and miles of smiles, thank you!

@@JakeChapman Can you talk the folks into covering Kumi Tanioka's "Twilight In Dreamland" from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles? That's the marimba-heaviest piece of videogame soundtrack I can think of.
Gosh this is delightful. Still holding onto hope for the blistering Ripple Star from 64
