[Eternal Battle - SG]

Pumped

This is a fairly interesting piece of work. The sounds of it kind of make me think of some older video games where near the final boss stage you would usually hear this style of music. Also very dream like music too, fantastic to listen to.

The guitar is pretty sweet and very great to listen to. The synth is ambient and sounds quite cheery with the notes played. The bass line soothes and calms the song as it continues to play along and make one feel ever so happy to hear it as well. Wonderful. The drums are pumped and very fast to listen to, amazing.

Overall, an excellent piece of work. Does make for excellent boss music.

ty! :) i agree if there was a boss fight this is the song for that :D

[A Child's Game]

Pleasing

I found this to be a rather relaxing and very cartoonish feeling piece anyways. Kind of imagine a kitten playing around in a house and just falling over while having fun as well. Really cute sounding piece anyways. Sounds pretty nice.

The violins kind of play off a childish sounding feel to the song. They make the song feel like fun will be there. The xylophone is truly a soft and nice piece, kind of imagine a kitten falling over with each xylophone note too. The drums and cymbals are really cool too.

The piano is soft and playful. The tune just seems to keep together and make you think of little playful and cute animals anyways.

Overall, very cute piece.

Maaw. Kittens :D Thank you!

[-*CaSH*- Redemption]

Relaxing

Kind of makes me think of some parts of Final Fantasy VIII as well. Really soft and calming piece of jazz though, sounds nice.

The piano is really nice and has a sweet sounding melody to it too. The drums are calming and sound incredible as well to me. They kind of brighten up the mood a bit. The bass line is very simple and brings relaxation to the whole tune. It sounds incredibly easing on the ears too.

Overall, has a very nice and soft tone to it that makes you feel good about life. Nice work.

Thanks for the review!

Again with the FF? I should really play those games, given the almost integrity of my music sounds like it...

Thanks again for the review, really glad you enjoyed!

Cheers

[Final Egg - SA1 REMIX]

Good cover

Really soft and spaced out remix of the final egg zone theme I see. Sounds good though, you really seem to have it all brought together as well. Really like how the tune just seems to flow over with goodness and memories.

The synth sounds really good and I see there are two playing. One plays a main piece while the other plays some quirky high notes and makes it feel strange for you too. Nice. The bass is subtle and very soft here.

The piano sounds really soft, almost giving a feel as if you can do it no matter what comes to stop you from reaching Eggmans.

Overall, wonderful cover here.

Gregzilla responds:

Thanks alot! Feedback is always appreciated, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D

[The Corridors of Time]

Good piece

Reminds me of what good times I had trying to beat the game. Took forever but was always a fun game to play anyways. This beat is a real good reminder too, thanks for remaking the tune.

The funky sounding synth sounds wonderful and gives a feeling as if you were time traveling. The crystal sounds are wonderful too as they make it feel as if the place was filled with clocks and other time things. The vocals are wonderfully done and very nice to hear as well. Very good work.

Overall, thanks for doing a remake.

Why thank you sir!

[Welcome to Zebes]

Samus! Samus!! Samus!!!!

Reminds me of the good times I actually had playing Super Smash Bros. Melee, always found the mission to defeat all the Metal Samus AI to be a bit difficult back then but now I can easily do it with little to no effort. Really relaxing and cool remake though, did a wonderful job on this one.

The bass seems to be the main piece of this song as it provides the main theme and piece for the song. The violin sounds really smooth and classy as always. I think you did a good job with those two. The drums hold and maintain a steady beat and help you feel motivated to complete the level.

Overall, excellent cover and loop.

MeteorManMike responds:

Cool, glad you liked it! Ideally, there would be some brass in here, but I was pressing myself to put this one out before I left, and don't have many good plugins besides.

This was intended to be primarily chromatics, with the bass filling the same role as the original. The drums are just to fill up the otherwise quiet spaces.

Thanks for reviewing!

[My Sinful Rose]

Disgaea

I always wanted to play that game since it looked witty, funny, and a little bit perverted with Etna and the white mage chick there helping move the story along. Interestingly fun looking series, great work recreating the intro to one of the games too.

The violin sounds wonderful as it plays the main beat instead of a synth actually. The bass sounds smooth and rather cool as well since it plays up and goes well for the way the song is done. Really liked the stringed solo that I heard here.

The drums are super simple and very good too. I really just like the simple charm of them.

Overall, wonderful remake of an intro to a great game.

Shanath responds:

You've never played Disgaea? You've been missing out on a wonderful series. Sadly I've never played Disgaea 3 or the fourth one coming out soon since I don't have a PS3. =[

Anyway, glad you liked the song overall. I wasn't sure if the violin melody was too loud or not but it seems it's fine as it is.

Thanks for the review. :3

[~SW~ Mountain Reserve]

Running

Sounds like it would go well in a platform game where it is real windy looking as you run and try to find the answers that the game gives problems of. Very nice piece though and I do like it a lot too.

The guitars come and go very lightly and give a feel as if something might be there waiting for you to come and save them from whatever is bugging them. The bass sounds really pleasing and nice to the ears. The pan flute and flute both combine to make this song sound all the more better.

The drums are amazingly simple and nice as well. Like how they seem to move along.

Overall, very nice and calm piece of music.

SkyeWint responds:

Grr. I haven't thought to respond to this yet. I only have two things I can really respond to though.

1) lol, "more better"

2) Why in the world do you rate everything 9? That's honestly the only rating I've seen from you on my songs. May I ask why? If there's nothing wrong with a song, wouldn't it be a 10..? If you could tell me why in a PM, that would be awesome.

[~SW~ Wake From Your Nightmare]

Fight your way

I think this would make for a good boss battle theme where you are at the end of your nightmare and the most vile thing from your dreams as arisen and you must battle with it before you are free to dream in happiness once more. Wonder what the creature looks like.

The piano is nice when it plays as it strikes some dynamics into the piece. The drums sound like a very long drum roll going lightly in the background and trying to get you to fight to live. The guitar also sounds pretty great here and I like how it works out.

The synth sounds great, it goes up and down, and plays a whole lot of funky sounding notes too. The bass is very thick and I like how it mostly has a reverse effect for most of this piece.

Overall, awesome boss battle piece.

SkyeWint responds:

Thanks! I was wondering which synth you meant, as I don't think I put any synths in this, but I'm thinking you either meant the violin I had from the Fluid soundfont or the phaser I had put on the snare. Not sure though.

Either way, glad that I got this review, I do enjoy this song and don't quite understand why it got the bad rating it did...

[Mozart's 40th Pimpony]

Interesting

Well I find it to be a greatly interesting take on an already done classical piece anyways but with more modern sounds applied to make it sound cool as well. Really nice modern remix anyways.

The deep bass sounds pretty great as it makes it sound greatly modernized. The drums are pretty cool since the bass kicks kind of make me think of subwoofers here. The synth sounds pretty heavy and greatly worked out. Also hear the slight sound of breaks too. Interesting.

Overall, very interesting piece of work dude, nice one.

BuggMusic responds:

Thanks for the review! It took me a while to figure out how to blend the modern sounding bass with the sample, so hopefully I did a good job! Ummm, I didn't actually use any synths except for the bass, so not sure what you were hearing. There were a few samples thrown in there that you may have mistaken for synths. Thanks! :)
