[@RichaadEB]

completely fucking nuts, guys. Damn.

[@HatTrax]

RichaadEB Richaard go to your room

[@RichaadEB]

HatTrax but dad there's only one r in my name!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

2:30, holy fuck, you guys are amazing. I don't even know what I'm hearing...

[@HatTrax]

insaneintherainmusic aw yeaaaah. you always need a strong mid section!

[@Zarinah]

You guys just blew your past selves out of the water, this is seriously the best so far! Completely blown away, and starting at 2:30...wow, just wow :)

[@HatTrax]

69guitarchick Thanks!!

[@datadeathray]

Where have you been all my life!?! These songs.....right in the childhood!

[@ToxicxEternity]

You guys are so tight its scary. Awesome work guys and girl

[@HatTrax]

ToxicxEternity Thanks!! keepin it tiiiiight

[@Linferno]

I've been waiting for Kris' flaming piano solo(? not really a solo) ever since the live stream! Incredible work guys, really loved the arrangement!!

[@HatTrax]

Linferno Thanks!! Glad you could make it to the live stream! ***** get over here! :D

[@patrickkranzpiller6400]

Oh wow, you guys did a great job! Secrets of Mana was the best RPG hands down. Definitely feeling the nostalgia.

[@RoPanuganti]

I know this one took a lot of thinking out and planning with everything, but from the fantastic dynamic changes, freaking dirty slap grooves and amazing use of synth and soloing I think this easily marks a new benchmark for your music.

[@HatTrax]

Swiggles1987 Ro you say this about each video :3. You better watch out or you're going to be hit by a dirty slap (groove).

[@RoPanuganti]

HatTrax Stop improving, problem solved xD I will say though this one genuinely stands out among the last few for me. *flinches*

[@HatTrax]

Swiggles1987 *slap*

[@MatthewSHarrison]

Really hoping this track takes the G.A.N.G. award, as much as I like the other entries. This is truly epic.

[@gyromurphy]

blown away by this. takes me back 20 years....this was the music of my childhood. well done. really well done guys.

[@nicoooo_ssf2x]

I didn't even know my spine had hairs because.....chills daaaaamnnn!!!!!

[@rauxguitar]

Flawless! and the editing superb!

[@MangusSteed]

2:00 has my heart pumping! The synergy between you guys is real!

[@LorenzodeSequera]

Oh my god this is amazing. Nothing but a standing ovation.

[@HatTrax]

***** Thanks!!

[@jackcayman9217]

That. Was. Awesome. You guys are amazing !

[@HatTrax]

Jack Cayman Thanks!!

[@HekdarThunderfist]

Those bass lines are incredible.

[@HatTrax]

Hekdar Thunderfist Thanks!! I learned a bunch of new slap techniques recently that I got to put into action :D

[@DumpyDestroyerMusic]

​@@HatTraxI really love your playing man! Sweet lines supporting and emphasizing all the right things! Your tone is killer too, super clear and mean. May I ask what plugins etc. you were using to achieve your tone?

[@SuperGuitarBros]

I usually don't do this but... "One person's confused". Great job you guys! I love the time changes and all the little solo sections. You really took this song and ran with it!

[@HatTrax]

Super Guitar Bros Thanks guys!! Glad you liked it :D

[@PlayingwithPowerVGM]

+Super Guitar Bros Yeah, no doubt. I loved the 7/8 section around 00:52. Very cool.

[@Magnymbus]

I love the sound of a funky bass.

[@carndawg]

THAT BASS THO

[@flameshana9]

Dat*

[@PatrickGann]

all of the instrumentalists are killin' it. The violin is especially great, but all of you did fantastic. The bass is rockin' hard too. Please please please do more from Hiroki Kikuta! Maybe consider doing "Nuclear Fusion," "Meridian Child," or a massive three-part "Sacrifice" from Seiken Densetsu 3!!

[@HatTrax]

Patrick Gann Thanks!! We'll definitely check those tracks out! I've played SD3 before, but I don't remember the music nearly as well as the tracks in SD2.

[@happyricepaddle]

The new video editing is INSANE

[@HatTrax]

happyricepaddle Marc Papeghin really brought his A game (as he always does)!!

[@xkamikaze317x]

Best arrangement to date. You guys more than killed it.

[@HatTrax]

Britney Blevs Thanks!! It's so dead now

[@HPetch]

Well, that was glorious. Yet another epic remix by Tetrimino; nice to see you guys still at it. I didn't think violin riffs were a thing until 2:00, and then my mind was blown. And that piano solo, man! you guys are something else.

[@HatTrax]

HPetch Thanks a lot!! mklachu got a lot more action this time around, especially in sections where she's playing background parts-- and that solo, jeezzzzz!!

[@KayThePianist]

Great work guys! Awesome arrangement and editing! :D

[@HatTrax]

Kay the pianist Thanks!!

[@IridescentAudio]

The best game with the best music! Great job as always guys, enjoying the direction you took the song.

[@HatTrax]

Dave Harris Thanks Dave!! When I was looking into possible directions for the song I actually ran across a 6 year old transcription video of yours-- "Electric Talk" from SD3. So it's good to kind of have things go 'full circle' in a way :3

[@MDXDMusic]

You guys smashed it! Brilliant arrangement guys! Wow dat bass man, so funky!

[@HatTrax]

BlackearacheXD THANKS!! Bass bass bass bass

[@Schematist]

MY heart can't handle so many solos... too f#%king good!!

[@ericl.9879]

Mother of god... It is a beauty.

[@HatTrax]

Eric Lambertson AW YEAAAaaaaah

[@LaurentheFlute]

Jazz is so hard, and you make it look and sound so easy :o I'm sure you already know it's awesome, but ... it's awesome.

[@HatTrax]

Lauren the Flute Thanks Lauren!! You learn a lot from playing with these guys! They're crazy good.

[@spidermichael2009]

At first when I saw the video, I was thinking, what's happening with the camera? And then it came to me, yes, a concept..... CAMERA ANGLES!! Good work as always, all of you really went "into the thick of it" with this song |:3

[@HatTrax]

spidermichael2009 aw yeaaaaah those camera angles really added a lot! Especially when edited by Maestro Marc Papeghin

[@Soundole]

Phenomenal work guys, you've asserted yourselves once again as the best VG cover band on KZbin!

[@HatTrax]

Soundole VGM Covers Thanks!! :DDD

[@iancunn99]

Holy Shit!! This has been brought to a whole new psychedelic level!!

[@SheIIyDeKiller]

Hehe goodness you guys outdid yourselves with this one, amazing... Around 2:30 I was going to explode of amazement lol. This really shows the potential you guys have to play any song and make it amazing!! If you guys ever perform live I'm so there. x)

[@HatTrax]

SheIIyDeKiller Thanks a lot!! We do our best to make each song our own. And we'll certainly let all of our fans know if we ever play live!! :D

[@erickgarcia6494]

Really like the fusion elements in this cover. Had to come back and listen again; great job guys!

[@HatTrax]

Erick Garcia Thanks!! We tried to merge a lot of different styles into this one

[@rowdyruffmojo]

I listen to this everyday...and I forget it's a live playing!!

[@SuperTeeter64]

Call me crazy, I'm a huge SNES fan but never been a huge fan of this game, HOWEVER!!! I do love this song from the game and this performance of it is FANTASTIC. I like it a lot. Great job all of you!

[@HatTrax]

SuperTeeter64 Thanks!! Yeah I also found SoM a bit hit-or-miss, but really liked the music!

[@SuperTeeter64]

HatTrax Glad I'm not the only one. :'D

[@jerds9293]

Holy awesome, this old school game music fan got mega chills.

[@smashbrolink]

My childhood...I can't stop crying...T_T So good, please do more like this!

[@KarlBonner1982]

Nice way to slip in the "alternate" version of this theme from 2:17 - 3:00 !

[@Gbelk]

Secret of Mana is one of favorite games of all time, in no small part because of its music. Thanks for this. I may have to go dig my SNES out of storage after listening to this...

[@MrDrewseph]

Youuuu guys are the best. Amazing. Every time. Holy shiiiiiit. Sounds amazing, I love the mix. Moar videos, pleez. ^-^

[@HatTrax]

MrDrewseph Thanks!! We'll try to get more content out consistently but we tend to work pretty slowly. We certainly want to put videos out all the time ;)

[@MrDrewseph]

Hey man, music this good requires time. I get that. ^-^ Worth the wait.

[@cpacis]

I love it. Killed it!! Great job!

[@HatTrax]

C Pacis Thanks!!

[@squarefan80]

simply phenomenal! i dont believe this arrangement can be topped

[@cloudlocke]

This was freaking awesome. Loved this take on a classic. Bravo to all of you.

[@Sircrapalot7696]

I remember when this came out, the production jump really blew me away combined with the amazing arrangement and performance. This is such a landmark Tetrimino piece

[@donutdrums]

Woah!!! Incredible! Great arranging and playing! You all work so well together. Soooo tight! Your videos keep getting better and better somehow!!!

[@HatTrax]

DonutDrums Thanks a lot!!

[@Z3rordi3]

I just can't get enough of this.

[@MishaHivemind]

This is music to my ears. LITERALLY! It's awesome! Keep up the great music.

[@Carambal81]

I am blown away! I like the bass in the progressive rock segment, it reminds me a little of the band Riverside.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Seriously, I require a full lesson on how to mix and make music like you guys do ahhhhhhhh

[@HatTrax]

insaneintherainmusic Anytime you want to chat about mixing, just ping me! :)

[@accountfor1reason]

Wow. Watching this has been the greatest thing that has ever happened to my face. Especially impressive that you kept the playful spirit of the original piece. SUPER good work.

[@HatTrax]

accountfor1reason Thanks a lot!! I'm glad we happened to your face!

[@mulvi747]

Absolutely amazing guys. It is always a joy to hear all of you play. Also, that video editing was fantastic, I know HatTrax mentioned that it would be better than before in the live stream but you outdid yourselves! Thanks for doing what you do Tetrimino. :)

[@HatTrax]

mulvi747 Thanks!! And glad to hear you made it to our live stream :D

[@CarboHydroMusic]

Awesome ! Those solo sections were so tasty ! And that energy buildup at around 2:15 totally won me over.

[@HatTrax]

+CarboHydroMusic Thanks CHM!

[@RuggedHawaiian]

Damn this one is deliciously swaggy

[@Butzbo]

Phew!...You guys really went the extra mile with this; Amazing rendition!

[@kasitac.6938]

[@lauz1656]

[@454Casull]

Holy shit, I still remembered that thing is a rabite and I haven't done anything SoM-related in so many years.

[@Skyline3092]

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous!

[@lara6683]

You can't believe how fast I clicked on this

[@HatTrax]

lara6683 Thanks Lara! Glad you liked it!! :D

[@QJSquall]

+lara6683 What a wonderful soundtrack this game had

[@kindaAbstruse]

Your version of this on the piano with Aivi is my favorite rendition of this song.

[@daigoro789]

Man I love this! One of my fave tracks from the mana series!

[@HatTrax]

[@Tryezz]

Onward and upward y'all. Bless.

[@misterknite]

If you guys put an album on bandcamp I'd buy it in a second! Your arrangements aren't just tight they're highly creative and unique. Also they just seem to mesh really well with my palette. Definitely my favourite VGM band.

[@HatTrax]

Charlie Day Thanks a lot Charlie (and for consistently commenting on our vids)! We have an album in the works, but we want to make sure we can deliver something to you guys that's significantly better than what we're putting out for free. It'll happen at some point! :D

[@misterknite]

HatTrax Awesome! That's great news I'm looking forward to it! Haha commenting is the least I can do I get so much enjoyment outta these tracks :)

[@blakehall9753]

This is so awesome! You guys did great!

[@DeepDarkDreamer]

Man, I missed the live stream due to surgery, but to see you put this out about a week later is so rad. Another superb arrangement by Tetrimino.

[@HatTrax]

HailKingTricky Thanks!! there will be future livestreams as well :D

[@Daniel_Eisenhardt]

This is so well done, and should have so many more views. I promote this videos as much as I can, your attention to detail is incredible and an inspiration.

[@TheCreepypro]

no song these guys can't make better with their awesome playing!

[@Blanquette]

this game made my childhood. thank you :)

[@rainingthrasher9469]

Incredible.

[@JohnFerrieMusic]

Sounds ace guys! Great job :D

[@miasmatique]

Wow, you guys are getting better and better. How long did it take to make the cover? Cuz that is a solid arrangement! Oh, and I've just realized you made that over Skype, I mean hory shet. It's even more awesome :D

[@blaeds12]

Nice camera angles!

[@MoisesNieto]

Great cover, all of you are amazing

[@HatTrax]

HollowRiku - Moisés Nieto Thanks Moises!!!

[@CarboHydroMusic]

I had not watched this one yet, BIG MISTAKE ! Fantastic arrangement and performance. I really enjoyed the build-up leading to the energy spike at 2:18 :3

[@HatTrax]

Thanks CHM! This is one of my favorites as well :D

[@MacyPooh196]

I can't get over the bass.

[@HatTrax]

MacyPooh196 Thanks!!

[@heater761]

WOW!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[@juan.tonacoatl]

Hi Heather how are you today

[@inkajoo]

WOW!!! BAD ASS ARRANGEMENT!

[@erikabutler6893]

2:00 This definitely transitions into "Did You See the Ocean?", which is thematically related to "Into the Thick of It". 2:30 This section is sublime!

[@lotfi6820]

Believe it or not but i has become addictive.....thank you very much.from Algeria

[@DavidKyokushin]

This was great, you guys rock!

2:16 BASS HYPE

[@HatTrax]

jamminkeys YEAAAAAAAAaaaaaah. I'm going to do a bass-focused video later this week (just a single video shot of the bass part with the bass volume raised). Check it out!

[@LordBifMusic]

Awesome job, and awesome mix! What's your secret for the drum mix? More!!

[@HatTrax]

Lord Bif Music Thanks!! The secret to a good drum mix is getting things to sound right before you record. mic choice and mic positioning are HUGE.

[@LordBifMusic]

I'll work on that, thanks^^

[@troublesomecorsair]

Caught fire!

[@Snipely]

Just brilliant.
