[[--Eternal Beginnings--]]

Great beat

Great backbeat for a good rap I think. The tune has a bit of a classy side to it that I like a lot as it gives that feel of someone delivering some upbeat vocals to the listener to make their day so much better. Great work here, mix of hip hop and some classy music.

The violin was very nice and I loved the light touch it added to the song. The drum track seemed pretty simple here. It had a good feel and for some reason I felt like clapping along to the beat a little bit too. The bass line was smooth and very classy as it helped move the song along into a happier feel.

The other stringed instrument I hear is also nice and great work there.

Overall, great track.

thanks for all the reviews man! i really appreciate it!

[A Hero's Soul]

Soft overcoming

The composition feels truly outstanding here I think. For a piano only piece it paints a landscape of someone going on a journey trying to figure out where things went ever so wrong in their life as they wish to right their wrongs and start over. Maybe they won't be recognized anymore and the other person might not be recognizable either but they wish to fix everything did wrong even if they know it is impossible.

The composition here is very smooth and I love how beautiful it sounds as well. Makes you feel like smiling and looking up towards the sky and wondering what the new day will bring as you continue on your journey. Very beautiful composition.

Overall, beautiful song.

[Seasons {durn}]

Peaceful sounds

This song sounds really calming and makes you think of someone awaking in a foreign world as a new season begins for those people. They move forth and see the people look a bit like them except they have different ears and they all have tails and far more agile and flexible than they are. They wonder how they will be able to fit into a world like this as they help out with putting things out and up for the season with them. Wonderful song.

The synth sounds really cheery and I like how it keeps on going up in a way and that build up sound later in was pretty cool. The piano is smooth and I love the composition of it here as it plays a wonderful melody. The drums are good and I like the rhythm they hold as they give a calming yet warming welcome to the person to keep on listening.

Overall, wonderful track, sounds very nice.

durn responds:

Nice, I really like your mind's image of what the song's about. :) I tried something new in terms of mastering for the drums and I think it thickened them up quite nicely (though as others have stated, I went a bit overboard on the highs). Thanks for the review!

[Serenade (Bugg)]

Rather calming and very swell

The tune starts out sounding rather fine I think. The only truly problem I heard at the start was the incredibly long bass note was all, aside from that it seemed to stay just fine. The drum beat was incredibly nice. I enjoyed this song so great work there doing this beat.

The guitar sound I hear makes me feel pretty happy and the piano kind of makes me think of the turrets from Portal Two a little bit strangely. The drums are good and I like the pounding bass kicks you have here. The tune just gives that happy feeling as if everything will be alright. Very nice tribute piece.

Overall, really nice sounding song, very soft and enjoyable.

BuggMusic responds:

That bass note started out as an experiment with Binaural Beats, which I ended up ditching but stuck with the single note. I thought it sounded good guess I was wrong hahaha. Thanks for the review!

[LoZ: Midna's Desperate HourRMX]

Beautiful

The piano composition you were doing here is wonderful while you have a constant going up feel with one hand the other hand would play several pieces of the melody. Then the beat goes the full way and sounds even more beautiful to hear as the tune plays out on itself. Great melody.

The piano sounds rather nice to listen and gives that feel of hope in the final hours leading up to the battle with Ganon once more. The drums here are energetic and I liked them. The dub sounds make me think the boss battle is happening and you are rushing to keep both Midna and Zelda safe from Ganon.

Overall, great remix, sounds sweet.

[S:c Angry Wasp]

Rather interesting

The start-up was quite slow but gave that feel of something getting ready to happen as the wasps get angrier and angrier at all who decide the invade their hive. At a single notice or glance of something foreign they kill it by any and all means possible. Have to say I admire how soft this is for a dubstep song. Very nicely done I think.

The vocals were nice, who did those anyways or at least where did they happen to have come from? The dub sounds were really nice and made me think the wasp was truly angry and having the others join in stinging the things trying to annoy them.

The drum beat was pretty cool and I really enjoyed the beat there. The bass was quite smooth and I like how it has a slight up and down feel to it. Very well done song, I enjoyed it.

Overall, great piece of audio, really enjoyed it.

[Sonic Remix: Tropical Resort]

Sounds wonderful

I like the tone of this beat really. Gives that happy feeling as if you were at a beach or a resort possibly and the fun was getting ready to start for you and what friends that came along with you except Robotnik has ruined it by capturing them and turning them into robots as he aims to steal the emeralds once more.

The bass line is really funky and makes you feel good as the tune keeps on going and going. The synth is pretty nice and I like the high note display here. The little evaporating sound effect is quite cool and the drum beat here sounds just fine to me.

Overall, really nice sounding song, if anything I guess I would simply ask for it to be longer.

[Opening Theme 2]

Calm before a battle

Kind of makes me think of Final Fantasy music actually since most of them tended to sound quite a bit like this. The tune gives that feel of getting up and slowly heading towards the battle as you prepare for one last showdown with the foe who has been ruining your village and the lives of many other people too. Pretty nice little song.

The violin I hear makes me think of calm things. The harp has that sound as if you were in a cave training for the day you knew yet hoped would never come at all. The drums are quite dynamic and make you feel ready for a battle. Very great little tune.

Overall, great battle startup beat. Maybe the prelude to the main boss battle.

samulis responds:

Thanks, I have been trying to explore with more dynamic pieces as of late; starting very quiet and calm and moving to loud battle-esque bits or vice versa. I really wanted to try using some woodwinds and strings together, especially some reed woodwinds, as a rarely use them. The idea of this as a prelude is great... I didn't think of it as that since, and I said this to Coop above, I wrote it as a piece of main menu music for an adventure RPG-esque game.

Thanks for the review,

[~Indian Hoedown~]

Really fun

Really love the highly fun and upbeat sound of this song. Makes you feel like dancing a lot. The bass line is incredibly simple. The keyboard and piano were fun to hear and the banjo sounded great. Good work here.
