["Dr. Wily's Stage" - MegaMan2]

Great cover

I've seen this used in many custom made versions of Mario games usually during castle or space levels. Now that I hear the original it sounds great and the flow of the tune is quite awesome to hear it remixed in such a way as well that it makes people feel awesome and epic for some reason too.

The synths sound incredible here and give you a dismal doom of hope kind of feel too. The drums sound good hear and I really like how they go as well. Like the backing synth being soft and working alongside the bass. Enjoy the effect of how the beat always sounds like it is getting ready to go off which is cool.

Overall, awesome cover!!

Thanks for such a descriptive review! I don't mind receiving more reviews like this. :)

Good idea

I think the start is right, there is no one pure ethic with all the problems, every kind of person tends to have problems even those who wish to solve problems have problems. You laid down some good rhymes as well so that was nice.

The piano was good. The drums provide the second part. Then the vocals and start finish up this piece. You did good here.

Overall, a very touching but odd piece I think.

HeIsAlive responds:

People need to wake up.

Im glad you liked the song and the message.
Touching is what I was going for :D

[Pocketpod - Hybrid]

Sweetly done

I love the flow of the drums here and this is one very happy sounding song that I have enjoyed the full way so great work on it. The wah wah notes I hear are very good here and very enjoyable. Enjoyed the radio part too. Then the drums build back up and burst into a very colorful and cheery tune that anyone could possibly enjoy.

The synth sounds amazingly happy. The drums get you into the feel for going at it. The long and ambient bass synth notes are good here. The synth itself keeps you feeling very good and awesome at the same time as well so you did good there as well.

I have to say that overall you made short work of doing a cheery song. Great job!!

Pocketpod responds:

Thanks for your great review!

glad you like it!

[Dr. Robotnik's Badnik Symphony]

Ivo Robotnik

Haha, enjoy how you tried to make this sound slightly funny while working on it. Sounds like something I would hear at the start of a 90s movie actually that is comedy based and such. Kind of makes me think of Mouse Hunt too. The ending was funny although you should have used his voice throughout the whole thing rather than just the ending, oh well, still sounds great.

The piano and xylophone sounded great together. Enjoyed all the high pitched sounds and PENISH at the end which made it slightly funny. They should have played this on the Hang Castle level of Sonic Heroes, would have been real funny too!

Overall, humorous.

SilentTakedown responds:

The end is supposed to be a reference to "Pinky and the Brain". I would have called it an opera if Ivo himself sings throughout the whole piece. I'm glad you liked it though.

[SMB3 - Bowser]

Yay for a boss fight

Yup, I found some of the koopalings highly annoying though towards the end since they took a bit longer to defeat for one reason or another and usually ended up trying to shrink then kill Mario or Luigi. Good times though.

The drums are nice and speedy here so that sounds good to me anyways so great work there. The trumpets sound really nice too and provide a dark battle piece. The bass line is simple and sounds twisted yet awesome.

Overall, good cover.

Ironclover responds:

Thank you, and I always have a problem with Wendy. she always kills me the first time I fight her. Thanks for your review :) Always happy to hear them!!

[Diatomic 7 ~B.P.]

Awesome and sickening

Well I just got to say, this is one of the few sicker than sick things I have heard from the portal. It is hip hop but it has no lyrics so I actually enjoy this one a lot because the beats and everything going on just make you feel good and hyper too. The flow of the tune is very nicely worked so great work.

The synt/pipe organ sounds cool and innovative since it incorporates a bit of the glitch sound effect in it as well. The tableturning scratching was also nice. The piano was cool to hear in this one as well. The drums are hyper and triplets the whole time so that is good and enjoyable as well.

Can kind of see people stomping their feet on this one.

Overall, good sick beat. <3

BrokinPaper responds:

Thanks a lot, you don't know how much that feels :D

[SMB2 - Overworld]

Good times

yup, I remember how much fun I used to have playing that game. Was that really the beat that played for most of the levels because I never truly noticed as I only ever beat the game twice.

The drums sound kind of like a winter thing. The piano plays a nice beat as well. I enjoy this who thing goes though. It sounds real basic as in there was only two instruments playing which is cool with me anyways as well. When the full beat plays it still sounds nice.

Overall, good work.

Ironclover responds:

Well I actually have 7 instruments playing; 2 Pianos, some Strings, Oboes, Clarinets, Trombone, and the Drums. Thanks for the really creative review!

Sick Beat

Well this was a pretty quick and sick house beat anyways. Kind of makes me think of Luigi's Mansion as well. I just really enjoyed the flow of the beat though so that must have gone well too. Should do a few more like this except have them hit off as more video game styled tunes like this one too.

The bass line is very simple here alongside the drums too. Kind of sad how the song is short but I suppose it would be a good and long enough lop for a short flash game too. The synth provides a nice little beat as well and I enjoyed that as well too. The whole tune sounds very dark, abstract, and video game like in feel.

Overall, good House/Video game beat.

Decibel responds:

haha, Luigi's Mansion is truly epic. I'm glad it makes you think of this subject.
Actually, I 'm extremely proud of the beat, tbh I kinda modelled it of p4c's trial and error, you can say it was my inspiration.
I'll try Video Game sometime if that's what you'd like ;3
The bassline is simple,I admit, but that wasn't the focal point of the song, It was the drums more than anything.
I'm continuing the song as I go but since my DAW is on my hard drive and Im
using a shit-ass computer, I can't bare to make anything well.
Yes, dark and abstract was the intial theme of it.
Glad you stopped by =)

[Acid Paradox - Happy Song!!]

Awesome

Considering I usually keep my headphones at a low sound level it didn't hurt my ears actually. Voice was creepy too, who's voice was that? The static used was also very nicely done and touched up to. Then you added some other ambient yet creepy sounds into the mix.

I enjoy how the dubstep sounds were not noticeable until the latter part of the song which was cool too. The drums provided a very cool beat to the mix. The synths kept staying loud for the most part and the both of them played polar opposite parts of each other which was nice. Then the bass line was a nice work too.

Overall, a good beat. Kind of Happy.

Acid-Paradox responds:

That's my voice whenever i start listening to Rebecca Black, I'll go psycho.

Soft and mellow

I really enjoyed how this piece went actually. I can kind of imagine rain drops hitting the window as the child stares out thinking of playing in puddles and many adventures. They soon head outside to play in it and find it to be a fun adventure and an escape from boredom. Kind of reminds me of the music from Coraline actually which was a good movie.

The xylophone was very nice sounding and it provided a good beat here. The wood instruments hitting each other was nice. Also enjoyed the bells that play here and provide a beautiful shade of a beat to the rest of the music. The piano adds a last piece and gives serenity to the beat.

I have to say that overall, this was a beautifully composed piece.

FunnyCop responds:

Wow thank you!
I remember when Coraline was in theaters, it looked like a good movie. I was going to go see it but never got around to it :\
