Excellent, stirring, inventive and surprising arrangements of one of the most classic game scores ever composed. Makes skillful use of all the colors available in those well-known melodies, with a good eye for narrative, drama, and variation; gracefully allowing arrangements to take their time expressing a constellation of different moments. Good, balanced, and mature, this is a star-making outing from all involved. Well done. Kondo should be proud. Jamming Device
