What really needs to be said about National Park? For almost 25 years, this tune has been a calm, iconic tune that trainers everywhere. As a whole, the Johto region feels like such a nostalgic location for me, and I absolutely love its vibe.
Onto the arrangement! What started as "let's just groove on this tune" gradually evolved into "what if this was music for a Sonic level?" (I think the place you'll hear this most is from Kenan's *killin'* guitar solo through the end of the tune). This arrangement feels like it's really captured that early 2000s Japanese jazz fusion sound, and the band plays it in a way that really captures that.
Onto the next! Thanks for sticking with us as we get new music together :)
