NOTE: This song is a fan remake of the original track by Josh Mancell for the Naughty Dog game, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. I claim no credit for the original composition (also, be sure to check out Josh's page here on Soundcloud - he has tons of pre-console mixes of the soundtracks!).

Woo! I'm back after a long hiatus with a new track from my Jak and Daxter Rescored series! Get your winter coats, because this time we're headed to Snowy Mountain. 

This one was a nice change from the previous tracks I've remastered, as it's slower and more ominous sounding. I loved this level so much when I was young, especially because - iirc - you can look back at where you've been so far during the journey from the mountaintop. I also remember the sleigh bells feeling so perfect for the time, as I'd gotten a PS2 and this game for Christmas that year and played it nonstop as the snow raged outside. :D

I only have about one or two more tracks in this series before I tackle some Jak II tracks. The next one should be a bit longer - I'm so excited for it! A hint: epic boss.

The first in my Rescored series and the first of the Jak and Daxter tracks I intend to remake. This one was a blast to make! 

What's neat about how Josh Mancell scored the Jak games is that he made the music contextual; certain layers of instruments would only play if you were doing certain things or by certain people, something I attempted to retain in this version.

Perhaps - if you listen closely - you'll hear the same marimba that plays by Samos' hut and Keira's workshop, the tuba of the Mayor, the flute of the Bird Lady, or the shamisen of the Farmer.

There are other instruments for other villagers in here as well, all playing along as Sandover wakes up and gets to work. Of course, none of them are working as hard as Jak and Daxter as they run around and collect Precursor Orbs. Especially Daxter. ;)
