Snarky Puppy & Metropole Orkest - Sintra/Flight/Atchafalaya [Remixed & Remastered, Sylva 2014]

[@wouldntyaliktono]

I just scored tickets to the session they're doing in January and I'm freaking out. Seeing this kind of thing live is going to melt my brain into a puddle.

[@joshjamesuk]

The fact that Mike League wrote this entire album by himself, evry single part for every single instrument is absolutely mind blowing. The guy is a total genius.

[@coralmartinez6204]

Same thought, it is beyond impressive. And also his greatness is in his humility.

[@willisverynice]

But the solos bro

[@worraw3337]

I believe Jules Buckley, the conductor for Metropole Orkest, helped him arrange most of the song in the album, especially the orchestra parts But yeah the fact the Micheal League wrote every songs in the album is crazy in itself

[@alexwbakker]

I hope he does it again. IMO, this and “We like it here” are peak puppy.

[@eduardodestri7058]

@@worraw3337Micheal said he made everything and Cole just “cleaned” to make sure Micheal would appears like he knows what he was doing lol so yeah, Micheal was the greatest genius of this masterpiece

[@tiaanengelbrecht]

This remaster feels like what it was like seeing 4K for the first time Absolute 10/10

My partner and I, from Chicago, were at one of the Empire Central dates in Dallas. I just got tickets to the upcoming Metropole Orkest date this coming Jan. 17th, 2025. I am so excited!! Can't even describe what it's like to attend these kind of performances. As a musician (tenor sax) and audio engineer (music, dialogue, 5.1 surround sound mixing for films) it is so unique and incredibly well done. Thank you so much! Cheers!!

[@nikzel]

Just booked mine too! :)

I am no audiophile, but I feel like this remaster took away more than it gave me. The cello part at 1:05 is so important, yet it is barely audible, the moog/trombone line around 2:30 would not be very discernible had it not been for the guitars playing the same thing, the moog line is too quiet around 3:47, generally the lead instruments dont stand out as much, the trombone suddenly drastically changes its sound at 9:38 unless I am missing something, the trombone part doesnt sound as massive at 9:58, the lead trumpet joining at 10:47, too, is so much milder than before, not bringing as much energy. To me this remaster boosts cool minor details and brings some improvements (sax solo, guitar/bass lines, drum sound and percussions) while pushing some important parts into the "background", but I am aware it might just be that I am used to the original version. Sadly the original versions are not available anymore, otherwise there would be nothing to complain about.

[@SolidRockStudio]

Yeahhh... dang, as this got further in Im feeling the same way... its too clean.. maybe less ambient bleed? It feels like its overly automated.. like unless its on the screen you hear it and then its kinda gone.. But yeah I know the OG from this so well. I like some of the details but it doesnt actually sound like the original did.. its too small? idk.. somebody else chime in here

[@DerNivel]

The original mixes are still available on Spotify. No idea where this claim this coming from.

[@adamwalcott_official]

I agree I prefer the original.

[@higher_destiny]

hate these new mixes

[@myafelicia]

It's like the life has been sucked out of it, yeah. Very sterile sounding. All these layers remain layers and not blending into the wonderful live mix it once was. Perfect example is indeed the sax that sounds like the Nile geese that live next door to me and warn people of possible danger in the middle of the night. The vibe is gone, yes. Still, it remains a masterpiece. Can't believe it's already been ten years of us enjoying this gem!!!

[@Psyplus]

Absoloutely beautiful, only just discovering snarky puppy now 🤤

[@glorifiedtoasterwithlegs3542]

oh thank god ive been dying for this to come back

[@AnthonyNovelli3rd]

this is seriously off the chain.... holy holy

[@Tyler53Durden]

I never knew these recordings can get any better, but here we are! So crisp and immersive. I truly feel like im in the room when listening to this with good headphones.

[@TheMork]

I'm so happy that this is back up - what an incredible medley of incredible songs.

[@ognatiuschironga8653]

Michael League of Champions!🏆

[@kirkdaville]

The dueling keys at @7:49 gets me every time. They were so in sync with each other. They make it so easy.

[@DJGrazba]

this remix and remaster gives it the '''Live sound' the other version was album level audio and that's what i loved about it ... can't please everybody i guess haha

[@jaimegarrido1489]

Mike es definitivamente genial , la obra es genial , Snarky es brillante (y genial) y la idea de re-mezclar fue ...genial , agregándose la mano (y el genio) de Nic Hard para actualizar , refrescar el sonido , de manera genial. ¡ GRACIAS por esta genial producción !

[@yuepengzheng9101]

truly amazing!!

[@LudvikM]

I have things to do, people! Stop distracting me with your absolute awesomeness!! XD OK, maybe one more video.

[@LuisBeltran-g2w]

Ive been trying to complete a narrative at work for the past 2 hours. Dang you snarky puppy lol

[@brandonlbartlett]

Achafalaya is such a monster of a vibe. This remix/remaster is amazing!

[@RandomSwill888]

sput is a freak, legend

[@nitrobunny2]

omg i can't get the trombone solo out of my head at 11:32!!! does anyone else know any similar music? i'm obsessed!!! thank you

[@jaredbergeron515]

This is based on New Orleans brass band music. Check out Rebirth Brass Band, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Hot 8 Brass Band, Soul Rebels, among many others.

[@dz_ca]

got to get it on

[@moonman6199]

Sylva - CoolAlbum!👍👍👍 😊 ✨

[@xSpJiGo]

Absolutely love it! (except for about 10 seconds from 6:23, with the Egyptian goose on the roof at 5am on a Sunday vibes lmao)

[@The_SSSlopper]

I felt the same at first but the more I listen to it the more I sort of dig the really goofy saxophone introduction. I feel like it almost makes sense it a very deranged way

[@CraigPMiller]

Such a good album, although it took me half a dozen listens to really get into it. ❤😎

[@GrahamCrannell]

I just want to know how long it took for mic'ing and sound check...

[@Hairless-Bear]

6:50 *bobs head conductor-ly*

[@SatoruIsaka]

どうやって曲作りしてるんだろ、、、？

[@noojiez]

Please swap the old video to unlisted instead of private, I prefer the original mix and not having access to it sucks kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3Oke4NjaMqVeqM&

[@DJGrazba]

am sorry this new mix is just BAD please put back the old one

[@eduardodestri7058]

Thank god the old/best mix is available in Spotify. But being unable to watch those videos with the other mix is bad

[@bksl09]

Hard disagree. The percussion is so much more crisp in this.

[@adamovoid5919]

You're cooked so much more space for everyone in this one. The old one wasn't bad at all though and i didnt think remix was necessary. But this one sounds so much better in my studio
