[[Fiji] Buzzsaw (Dj Sonik]

Great house beat

I like the start and how it has disembodied voices saying something as well. Kind of gives me an image of someone hearing a television or radio in a deserted house that he awoke in. He searches slowly for a way out and begins to realize that something may not be right as he hears the groans of something outside.

He looks out the window and sees people shuffling on the streets below. He puts on a shirt and pants and begins to look for a new set of clothes and answers to what is going on and why the people are behaving as they are. He was about to be in for the fight of his life and possibly that of humanity against zombies...

The piano was nice to hear on this one as it gives a feel of possibly being able to make it out of the area alive and possibly be able to save people as well. The synth gives a feel of having to be on the move a lot along with a subtle though of sirens too.

The bass is rather nice and gives a good backing beat too I think. The drums are crazy and give a thought of shotgun blasts to the zombies as you look for a way away from them so that you may survive this horror of the city. The stringed instrument in the back gives an uneasy feel like you may be the only one left alive too.

Overall, very nice apocalyptic feeling tune, excellent work.

Before this awesome review I never even incorporated this song with the thought of zombies, but like always... I totally agree with you SCTE3!
The Disembodied voices and whatnot really do give that creepy-apocalyptic feel to this one, and fckin-eh the track is named Buzzsaw (A very handy tool for killing zombies :p)

I love reading your reviews buddy. especially when they include both your mental feedback, and your musical feedback as well!

I was very glad to hear that you enjoyed most aspects of this track so my only wonder is... why not a 10?

:p
Thanks again SCTE3
You rock dude

[Lamentation by the Sea]

Wonderful

Kind of gives you the image of a battle having been completed and rubble is everywhere. You stand there very bloody and bruised up by your dark clone who tried to destroy the world yet was stopped by kindness and the power of friendship as well. You watch as they slowly change shades and fade away from existence as they explode as well destroying many things around them too.

You slowly fall down as your female friend barely holds you up. She helps you stand back up as you both walk away slowly from the battle hoping in time that things will look brighter as well. She helps you pull off your cloak at last along with the blindfold feeling as your darkness has left.

You see a city now in ruins due to the battle you both had as well. Saddened by this a tear comes from your eyes as you find a small piece of metal to help be used as a cane while your friend still helps you walk away from the scene too. You both arrive at her place as you have never had a friend and she was the only who stayed and helped calm the battle and eventually won it with you too.

She slowly takes off your old ragged clothes and looks at you as you simply sit in the bathroom with underwear on. You look in the mirror and see how long your blue hair has gotten over the last few years since you left your home to confront your own problems, you are 19 now and wish you could have all those years back as well.

She stares at you as she brings you some clothes and razors. She shaves all the hair off your body and cuts your hair a bit so that it only goes halfway down your rib cage as well. She smiles asking you to take a shower. You get in the shower and she turns the water on.

You stand there relaxing as the water washes filth and sadness away from you and you start to smile a bit letting the water hit your face as well while in the shower. You get out and she has no manly clothes for you so you simply put on her old school girl uniform as that is all she has for you to wear at the time. She asks if you want her to go get you some guy clothes and you refuse.

Strangely you find those clothes more comfy than anything else you have ever worn in your life. She brings you her old chastity belt and has you wear so you don't get any sudden sexual urges, you smile and nod saying ok as she forced it on constraining your dick. You smile and go to her room with her as you put your arms around her and fall asleep in bed with the only friend you have now, someone who actually cares too.

This piece is like a long and epic lullaby piece as far as I think actually. The piece kind of weaves its own beautiful story too telling a tale of sorts with it I think. The tune just has a real soft feel to it as well as if someone you had waited ages for helped you finish an internal struggle with your darkness too.

The violins sound wonderful and peaceful. The flutes are giving a feel as if everything will be alright now even if they don't feel that way at first though. The cymbal hits are nice too I think as they give a mellow feel. The bass gives a more dynamic feel as if you can finally relax at long last with yourself and those who care for you.

Overall, wonderfully calming piece of work, sounds great!!

descara responds:

That was.... incredibly specific. :P

Anyway, thanks! 100% spot on with what I wanted to do with the flute.

[Pallet Town [Ocarina]]

Nice cover

Sounds very nice for a cover on ocarina actually. Brings back good times of playing the first Pokemon game I ever got when I was real young. I think the only problems are are the same that remain as before which is sometimes it can be overly loud and some other times you hear static in the background as well. Aside from that it is a great ocarina cover.

Ocarina-Kid responds:

Thanks yet again for your kind words SCTE3, ah I've really gotta work on the volume (and that damn static) cheers for letting me know. Brings back good times indeed, back when things were simple and there weren't 40975734 different Pokemon ;) Thanks for the review!

[Nero - Promises (xKr 8bit Rmx)]

Spicy

Well this is an excellent 8 bit dubstep remake of a cool song anyways. Would not mind seeing it used in some kind of platform game where you run through a city. Awesome beat.

The synth sounds awesome and the bass line is greatly done as well I think. The drums give a feeling of needing to run somewhere. The retro dub sounds are actually pretty cool. Really like what you did here with this piece too, sounds great.

Overall, cool retro remake.

[Pokemon RSE Rival Gameboy]

Sounds awesome

Really great remix and I like how this one sounds. Reminds me of how much fun I had beating the opponent who only challenged you 4-5 times and then never again after Lilycove sadly. It was still a good game though. Nicely done remix though, it sounds awesome.

The bass sounds fast and goes up and down rapidly as the beat keeps going. The main synth sound is completely retro and captures the fun of the battle too. The tune just seems to make you think there is always a chance you could lose the match too which is cool since you can do a rematch with them.

Overall, nicely done remake.

[Mario Kart 64 -- Title (Remix)]

Bliss

Kind of makes me think of Earthbound actually even though it is a Mario game piece ironically. This piece kind of gets you relaxed and ready for the races ahead in the game too. The tune has a soft feel to it which is good if you were trying to get someone relaxed as they get ready to compete.

The synth and pianos make a nice combination and give a soft yet fuzzy feeling as you decide who it is you wish to race with in the game too. The bass is subtle and very good here as well, like how it gives a softer feel of warmth and kindness as no one in the race wants to kill others, simply win the race and become the tournament champion.

Excellent drums as well, they turned out awesome.

Overall, wonderful cover beat.

Birdinator99 responds:

Heh, they say they don't want to kill others, until they get a blue shell...

I was particularly pleased with the snare drum on this track, so I'm glad you noticed the drums!

This does have a soft kind of feeling to it, now that you mention it. Thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks for the review!

[Emo May Cry]

You're awesome

Glad I was checking the audio portal. You are the dude who did a collaboration with Bad-Man-Incorporated right? You sound freaking awesome here and I love the beat too. The vocals are killer, is that you singing them? This is one sick metal beat. \m/

The guitar sounds quite awesome and I love how it sounds here. You do well on the guitar, what kind are you using and what amp? The bass sounds pretty good here though so I like it. The guitar solo is killer here, nice!! The drums are also beastly since I hear a lot of double bass kicks which turns out well I think.

The vocals and lyrics are good and deliver a good message but kind of sound like they are mocking someone as well. Really good beat though.

Overall, awesome metal beat!!

DanJohansen responds:

Thanks man! Yeah it's supposed to sound like I'm mocking someone, they are Ninja Theory and Crapcom lol.. Anyways glad you like the tune man! THANKS!! ROCK ON!!!!!

[Traps - LoveKavi]

Interesting

I was actually expecting someone to sing about traps (dudes who look and sound a lot like girls and vice versa). Would still be cool to hear someone try rapping this I guess anyways since it has a pretty cool beat to go with it all in the end. Beat just makes you think of Japan a lot. Nicely done.

The claps and drums seem to make a nice combination as they create an excellent backbone beat for the song to be heard. The bass seems quite well and I like how it seems to float there for a while as if someone was hitting the note and just waiting for a bit before hitting another note.

The stringed instrument and guitar sound good together as well I think so that is nice to hear on this one I think.

Overall, cool beat.

LoveKavi responds:

Thanks for the great feedback!

[Hardon Potter Kazoo]

Hilarious

Well even though it does not sound too great I thought this to be completely hilarious and a good break from your other wonderful work. Can kind of hear where you are breathing in a bit too hard as well too. Would seriously laugh if they had used this in the movies instead.

[-To Zanarkand- (Cover)]

Impressive cover

I thoroughly enjoyed this though. The piano playing is smooth and close to the original as it picks up pace and stays at the same speed as the original. Oddly I can kind of hear Tidus giving his little speech from the start of the game where he states this is possibly their last chance to save the planet from certain doom.

The piano just kind of makes you feel sad inside as you head toward the rubble that was once known as Zanarkand and is now home to Bahamut who is also the last storyline esper that you need before you can try to save the planet too. Very good cover though.

Overall, lovely cover piece, I loved it.

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

You know... I never did finish FFX, I rushed through the second half of the game and found myself underleveled by the time I got to fighting Jecht. And now I don't have a PS2 anymore, so I can't finish it anyways.

Anyways, I've always loved this song (Like... fanatically loved it), so naturally, it was one of the first piano pieces I ever started learning.

Glad you enjoyed it!
