I've been waiting for the perfect time to cover this tune! It's been one of the most prolific tunes on my list of VGM favorites, and I am quite happy how it turned out. While the arranging proces was rather smooth (shoutout to high school me for transcribing this over 12 years ago), I knew this would be a LOT of work on the mixing and production side. I even added two instruments that I don't regularly play (viola and double bass) to the instrumentation and made it work! I really wanted to stay true to the instrumentation of the original, and Joe Difiore (JD Winds) and Nathan Banegas came in clutch to make this all happen. When Joe sent over the files, he told me how much this tune brought him back to playing this game's level as a kid and it sure did the same thing for me too. Also gotta shoutout that Nathan, who's primarily a trumpet player, took the challenge of recording french horn for me and he sounded great! Enjoy our cover of Fungi Forest!
