Hey all!

As part of Year 6, I'm really aiming to push myself into areas I've never gone before in my music. You've seen evidence of this with the Low-Fi Hip Hop arrangement of Rosalina's Comet Observatory, and here's another new thing!

This arrangement is a "medley", but it's different from some of my others. Instead of going through a bunch of different songs from Super Mario Galaxy, I use the same song (Gusty Garden Galaxy in this case, which I consider to be the defining song of Mario Galaxy) and arrange it in the style of the music of various other galaxies! You'll see what I mean when you listen to the arrangement. I've included some notable galaxies like Buoy Base, Battlerock, Melty Molten, and Space Junk!

What I'm asking from you is feedback. Please let me know what you think of this so far, and let me know if you think any section is particularly boring, needs change!

Oh my goodness Carlos it's like you're diving into my subconscious to pick songs to cover in year 6

But in all seriousness, this is SUPER cool from a conceptual standpoint! I'm super impressed with this one, looking forward to the video!

I'm not really familiar with the music of Mario Galaxy, but I love this piece!

Love that you're tackling Mario Galaxy again! I feel like for the opening style, the piano could take more of the melody, and have the sax parts come in as boisterous as possible. Love the piano parts throughout though.

I dig this medley concept a lot, and I think you've picked a great theme to test it with. I've heard this idea used in certain OSTs and the way it makes the same material feel different without being repetitive is remarkable. If you do decide to use this concept for future covers, I'll truly be looking forward to it. There's a lot of potential with this idea. Keep up the excellent work as always Carlos.

I like this a lot as an arrangement - it's fun and varied but still manages to be cohesive. On the other hand, I dunno if I would know if I would have understood it's referencing other specific galaxies without you telling me! Another melody instrument might help sell some of the references better and vary it up more, but I also kinda like how tight the ensemble is. Some minor points of criticism: 1. A lot of the other galaxies get sort of subtle references, so it's weird that the Good Egg section is so explicit. I love the solo but it seems strange to solo over the Good Egg changes in a medley that's supposed to be all about Gusty Garden. 2. I think 3:25 is Space Junk, right? That one seems maybe *too* subtle as a reference, especially with the sax and ride throwing me off. It might be interesting to let the piano take the melody here, and maybe even solo for a few bars. Maybe even let the sax play the melody in echo, like how the pad synth does in the original Space Junk. 3. If there's any section that seems weak or boring, it's probably the intro. In fact - and I feel kind of silly even saying this - I originally thought the steady rim hits were a metronome or click track that had been left in. Maybe it's the lack of video + the expectation of this being a beta version?? Quite likely you could change nothing and I wouldn't think that at all in the final version, haha. Always good to hear more Mario from you, especially now of all times! Can't wait to see what other bangers from Odyssey you might cover in the far-flung future.

I'm really enjoying the sound of this! I especially love what you did with the Buoy Base and Melty Molten Galaxy parts - The drums were amazing! I think this is a really cool idea, and would love to see how you play with it with other game OSTs.

As an aside, do you know when the Year 5 album may be released?

I love it! I really like the piano "chords" in 3:24
