I am from Seville, possibly the place where flamenco and Semana Santa traditions are strongest in Spain. There are parts in this track where I can almost smell the incense as I listen to the trumpets. The documentation work in this version is fantastic, beyond words. And it goes without saying that, even without the accurate representation such a wide range of styles from spanish music, this would still come out as a magnificent arrangement. Standing ovation!!!

Granted I knew it was a longer piece, however I wasn’t expecting _the entirety of the Gerudo Desert Arc from Ocarina of Time to be animated._ You all continually surpass my expectations each and every time, and my only wish is that I could’ve listened to this sooner! Gosh, I can only imagine you guys doing Twilight Princess’ Hyrule Fields theme, or a Banjo-Kazooie track. You guys are amazing and are some of the most talented musicians on this platform, if not the most, and don’t let yourselves forget it.
