Well this is a first for me, so uh, I hope I'm doing this right.
Also, excuse the lame name, I haven't played the game so I'm not able to make some witty in-game meta reference, and have to resort to lameness. =P
This was one of those mixes where I heard the original, the idea for this remix immediately popped up in my head, and I started humming it right away. Basically everything worked out, so I arranged it in one day, did most of the production in one day, used one day to tie up loose ends, and spent this day on a mastering session.
I was originally aiming for a Chuck Berry-esque Rock n Roll sound, but the drum patterns got jazzier as I worked on it, so I finally decided to leave out the guitar.
Well, enjoy, I guess =D
The tokay, (who inhabit Crescent Isle) like to have stuff. The problem is, there are few things on the island of any worth. When you show up there, most of your stuff is taken by these somewhat bumbling creatures. Naturally, they're not very good at concealing their act, as each one has the stolen item proudly elevated above their heads.
This mix was made in about an hour on Monday. I really had hoped to find time to revise it, but had no free time in which to do so. There are some dissonances and random little chromatic sweeps meant to symbolize tripping and other occurrences which frustrate an inexperience purloiner.

The title refers to the incident involving a trade between Link and a couple Tokays on the island after the dungeon. Link gives them ember seeds in exchange for Dimitri, the animal that helps you cross the sea. The Tokays, being as smart as they are, promptly eat the seeds and run away with their heads on fire. Anyway, this remix is not really a story mix like my previous one, but it is meant to show the world through the eyes of a Tokay. Kind of childish and a little beachy. XD
Oh yeah, and pieces of the Moonlit Grotto theme pop up here and there. As well as a short surprise at the end.
Is this message even going to be seen by anyone, or is Rexy just going to take the mp3 and delete this? Oh well, I already typed it up anyway. Good thing I don't have to be voted on. XD
