Most of the song is in 8/8 (except the intro which is in 7/8). It has nothing to do with the odd time signature though. Time signatures won't make a song "jazzy".
This was literally shocking, coming from someone who has had this song in his head for 30 years. Incredible arrangement and performance. Drum solo slaps.
Holy shit this is what dreams are made of. This recording quality is unreal. A full band. A full camera production. Unique interpretations and solos. Damn, I'm glad I found this channel!!!!
Dude... just when I was lamenting about how I wished SOMEONE would pick up on these incredible tracks and perform them as a live band. Gosh, you guys have just knocked it straight out of the park! I really hope the community finds this and blows it up. Bravo!!
Such a richness of sound. A strong bass brass missing in my life since hearing Blood, Sweat, & Tears' Go Down Gamblin'. It was an awesome song to begin with, but in its arrangement by someone who not just understood the source material but found space within an already technical piece to make his own compliments, it gets that extra boost into the sublime. I am a fan.
I've listened to a few interviews with him, I don't think he's down on it necessarily, just that he did it a long time ago and he is in a different industry now. The internet etc didn't exist in 1993, so he had very little feedback on how good his music was at the time, apart from those of whomever he was developing the games he was working on
@@yhenestik thank you - I can't take credit for the composition, Tim & Geoff Follin worked their magic there...but hope the chart did it some justice :)
I am in absolute, total, complete awe. This is something that has no reason to exist, but every single right to exist. A phenomenal piece of video game music turned into one of the best fusion pieces I've ever heard in my life.
I've been dreaming of this for likea decade. Thank you for doing this song justice. I hope Tim feels the recognition he allegedly longed for in the vgm world from all of these wonderful covers.
I just found these incredible covers from my trombone/euphonium teacher today. These are so great i love this games soundtrack and you've really done well with these arrangements. Amazing job.
The gradual raising in intensity starting at 0:40 into the meter change is incredible! You’ve definitely motivated me to try some things out in my own compositions!
@@MylesWrightMusicFor sure, but the original composition doesn’t include that aspect. Really elevates the original in a way that a live multi instrument composition can :)
I have always wondered what Tim Follin's songs would sounded like if they were to be played by a professional band or orchestra. This is like a dream come true, I love this so much!
This is amazing! I think it’s great that even after all these years, the genius of Tim Follin and the Plok soundtrack is still intriguing and inspiring people.
Wow, what a seamless blend of Cover and Improvisation! Beautiful! I've really enjoyed watching these Plok Covers. Could there possibly be more in the Future? 🙏
I would love to, but these recordings and videos cost a ton of $ to make unfortunately. So it won't be any time soon, but you never know. I did try to pick the best 4 tracks from the game that I felt were most suitable and worthy of this format
@@MylesWrightMusic Understandable, Plok and its Soundtrack are Childhood Favorites of mine, finding these videos on RUclips was an Absolute Treasure. Edit: Just to clarify, these videos you and your team made are Absolute Treasures.
The guitarists part was insane and the drummer at the end was tickling my ears with the high hats, this is such a great rendition of this song. I guess I'll check out the original OST
I'm usually pretty picky about arrangements, but I am blown away here - you absolutely captured the vibrant essence of this masterpiece! Outstanding work!!
Jeff Babko is a session musician who replaced David Paich during some Livefields shows in 2000 and played piano in the Encanto score by Germaine Franco and songs by Lin Manuel Miranda. Glad to see him here performing on a Tim Follin cover.
Oh it's so well arranged and performed! I could not have imagined how well this sort of funky jazzy sound would fit the song. Absolutely brilliant job!
Absolutely brilliant! The Plok soundtrack is a true underrated gem of the SNES and this particular track is probably my favorite of the bunch. Thank you for giving it a new life. I would definitely buy a vinyl of this. Recording and mastering sounds amazing.
I'm at a loss for words, this is incredible. Fantastic arrangement, fantastic performances by all, I love the black and white look and how dynamic the camera work is. It's a rare treat to see gaming music covers with such fantastic presentation all around, and now I have to go watch the rest. Instant subscribe, may the RUclips algorithm gods bless this.

I know right! What is it with people these days....🤣
@@MylesWrightMusiccrappy taste in music?? 🤷🏿♂️
@@JayByrd83 with pop music today?
it's a no brainer
Love seeing Plok get some love. One of my favorite video game soundtracks.
That drummer went fucking insane, I felt the grey matter leaking out from my ears.
Want y’all to know this played on a jazz station in Atlanta this week, was super shocked to hear it, love the remix!
Thank you! 🎼
Rip Geoff Follin for composing one my favorite childhood beach ost!
Damn, this was how I found out. RIP to an absolute legend. I can only hope he got to see how much people truly appreciated him and his work.
😢
This track was one of Tim's, though.
Now that I think about it, the fancy time signature experimentation in Plok! lends itself perfectly for a jazz arrangement.
Sure does!
Most of the song is in 8/8 (except the intro which is in 7/8).
It has nothing to do with the odd time signature though. Time signatures won't make a song "jazzy".
This was literally shocking, coming from someone who has had this song in his head for 30 years. Incredible arrangement and performance. Drum solo slaps.
Thank you ✨
It's so cool to see Plok's soundtrack performed like this! You've done an absolutely incredible job with these arrangements!
Thank you Dominic! It's easier when it's such cool music to begin with...;)
I never would’ve imagined this would happen. It’s mind blowing.
This is amazing. Can you please do Spider-Man X-men arcades revenge cover. Another Tim Follin classic
How has this not blown up this is amazing
Thank you! Feel free to send to everyone you know! ;)
How is this so high quality yet so unknown?
They didn't get viral.
didn't know he passed, rest in peace to one of the greatest composers to do it
Holy shit this is what dreams are made of. This recording quality is unreal. A full band. A full camera production. Unique interpretations and solos. Damn, I'm glad I found this channel!!!!
I’m glad you found it too 🎹
As both an audio engineer and musician, this is fucking incredible. Amazing work done here. Deserves millions of views. RIP Geoff Follin.
@@chrisp3082 thank you, yes Allen Sides is da bomb
God bless all of you
For me, this is like Prog Rock in the gaming world
Plok Rock
It's not "like" prog rock. It IS prog rock!
I have tears in my eyes, I love the music from Plok, and this is just such a gift! Excellent job!!!
Thank you! 😊
Me too ;)
Dude... just when I was lamenting about how I wished SOMEONE would pick up on these incredible tracks and perform them as a live band. Gosh, you guys have just knocked it straight out of the park! I really hope the community finds this and blows it up. Bravo!!
When you hear an incredible and classy rendition of your favorite song you thought no-one else knew about
I can hardly believe that this exists. You folks are incredible.

thanks for bringing this masterpiece to life
You're welcome! 🎮
I wish Tim Follin would not be so down on his old work. I know he'd love to hear this.
I've listened to a few interviews with him, I don't think he's down on it necessarily, just that he did it a long time ago and he is in a different industry now. The internet etc didn't exist in 1993, so he had very little feedback on how good his music was at the time, apart from those of whomever he was developing the games he was working on
First time music made me cry in a very long time 🥲
Gosh, hopefully in a good way!
@@MylesWrightMusic Of course, of course! Absolutely wonderful composition.
@@yhenestik thank you - I can't take credit for the composition, Tim & Geoff Follin worked their magic there...but hope the chart did it some justice :)
@@MylesWrightMusicyeah, arrangement, i sometimes get the words confused haha. I guess I could've been referring to the masterful solos as well :)
YES! I love Plok! I wish fame for you all, you guys are really talented
Boy, I was not expecting to see Wayne Freakin' Bergeron in that trumpet section! Incredible cover!
a true euphony of perplexingly extravagant harmonies and solos
i'd certainly throw my limbs to this
Beautiful jazzy rendition of a very cool track 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am in absolute, total, complete awe. This is something that has no reason to exist, but every single right to exist. A phenomenal piece of video game music turned into one of the best fusion pieces I've ever heard in my life.

@@MylesWrightMusic No no, thank _you_. This truly is a treat.
This is ASTOUNDINGLY good! Incredibly beautiful work!
And RIP to Geoff Follin. A legend.
Fantastic arrangement musicians and a wonderful tribute to Geoff.
this is so well done and sounds so AWESOME!!! GREAT JOB to everyone involved with this!!! I am absolutely loving this!
I've been dreaming of this for likea decade. Thank you for doing this song justice. I hope Tim feels the recognition he allegedly longed for in the vgm world from all of these wonderful covers.
Such an awesome song! I wish I could find it on Spotify

Randomly searching for Plok! covers, this was absolutely beyond my expectations. Amazing.
Thank you - check out the others!
I just found these incredible covers from my trombone/euphonium teacher today. These are so great i love this games soundtrack and you've really done well with these arrangements. Amazing job.
Is your teacher Mr Savage by any chance? If not doesn't matter, thank you for your support! :)
Man this sounds incredible!!!! I love Plok's OST I'm so happy about finding this cover
The gradual raising in intensity starting at 0:40 into the meter change is incredible! You’ve definitely motivated me to try some things out in my own compositions!
Thank Tim & Geoff Follin for the original composition :)
@@MylesWrightMusicFor sure, but the original composition doesn’t include that aspect. Really elevates the original in a way that a live multi instrument composition can :)
Saw this recommended me from the algorithm and being a fan Tim Follin’s music, this is a fantastic cover.
This actually brought tears to my eyes, it's that good. Major props to you and the entire band for this phenomenal arrangement and recording!
@@FoxMan_FF ⭐️ ❤️🤘
oh this is soooo COOL!!!! easily one of my favorite arrangements for this track!
This is the greatest thing ever. Plok beach is probably my favourite videogame song, and this made it better!
DUDE THIS IS SO GOOD
Thanks! Glad you like it
Great arrangement! Love to hear the song in such a good performance by talented musicians!! Really gives it more life!

Great arrangements and very high quality

Absolutely amazing arrangement. This is probably what Tim Follin was trying to program on a silly SNES game
and i thought it couldnt get better than before, just, wow !
If Plok had a movie, I imagine the soundtrack sounding probably like this.
That was a lovely rendition of a legendary song by a legendary composer! Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
I'm usually pretty picky about arrangements, but I am blown away here - you absolutely captured the vibrant essence of this masterpiece! Outstanding work!!
oh man oh god oh man oh god oh man
OK I KNOW WHY I LIKE THIS SO MUCH
big plok fan by nature but this version reminds me so heavily of Birdland by Weather Report
Rest in Piece Geoff Follin.
Him and his bro were the most legendary game music duo out there.
Wow, this is amazing! It's impressive to see such a complex song accurately converted to a live performance!
Fantastic cover, I need more!

Remember everyone, we need to share all the videos on this channel with everyone we know and get the views up into the millions (and beyond).

Awesome! 👏
DAMN. The prog rock REALLY comes out in the first thirty seconds lol

This instrumentation is brilliant. The horns all sound incredible but the vibes are an especially cool addition.
Thank you! I love vibes ✴
Amazing arrangement, very tasteful and joyful

I’ve listened to this song 11 times today.
Very good arrangement

I think this channel should do more of these plok songs... they are doing it incredible❤
I think if we try hard enough it can become a new jazz standard 🔥
Stumbled across this a week ago and I think I now account for half the views.
Nice band arrangement of the song!😄🤩😎👌
Dieses Lied braucht mehr Views!!! 😍🥰
Holy shit this sounds so good. Tim Follin is respected, but not enough. Please please please do the Boss Theme!
Imagine like Mario running around in Plok's world. Good stuff.
You don’t know how close you’re getting to the story of the making of SMW2 Yoshi’s Island
