So good it'll wet your pants...

...and in more than one way.
Every now and then, I come across an OverClocked ReMix that's just absolutely amazing. One good enough that I'll listen to it for hours on end, playing it over and over on loop as I go about doing whatever on the net, and afterwards still love it just as much as when I first heard it. That's the case with this one, and I am, in fact, listening to it as I write this. And it is, without a doubt, one of the best OCRs I've ever heard.
I therefore command thee, readers of mineOtaku, go forth and download djpretzel's Sunken Suite OCR. (Trust me, there will be much rejoicing.) It's a remix of the Dire, Dire Docks theme from Super Mario 64 which is, in itself, my favorite track from Super Mario 64, and this remix is an amazing orchestral rendition of the song.
The track starts out slow and somewhat quiet, a piano playing an original counter-melody with something else I can't quite identify (something like an organ and a violin?) humming in the background. From that, it builds into a slight remix of the original track's main theme, the song slowly gathering speed and intensity as drums are added to the mix. At the height of the song, the thundering of the drums and crashing cymbals come to the forefront, the piano continuing to play the remix of the original song and the stringed instrument humming along beautifully. This continues for about forty seconds, running through the length of the original tune once, before abruptly dropping off and returning to the how the song began, with just the slow piano and background melody, as it fades off into the end of the track.
Really, I can't find anything I don't like about this remix. The whole thing is perfectly executed -- the choice of instruments, the new melodies mixed with that of the original song, the building up to a climax and then the sudden decline -- I love every part of the song. Even to the point of writing a whole myOtaku post devoted solely to telling about how much I love it.
