[Mercury - Marifax]

Video games

Well this sounds like it would go well in a urban style level where you wield a sword trying to take on some zombies or creatures or something of that sort anyways. The tune has a soft battle feel to it as you explore the city trying to find out where the cause of all this is but your adventure is only beginning as you fight beside your Digimon.

The violins give a very good feel as if you have a good chance on the first few levels before it begins to get a bit harder. The synth sounds quirky yet gives a feel of something coming towards you as well. The ambient bass like sound I hear is also very nice. The drums give a dynamic feel as you keep going. I like the space like sound I hear near the end, neat.

Overall, great song, really enjoyed it.

Chill

Well this seems to be a pretty chill feeling piece of music and I enjoy it too. The song seems to uplift you quite a bit to where you feel spaced out yet happy as well. The atmosphere seems to be space as well.

I like the ambient bass line feeling like a plane flying over you the whole time and never stopping either. The synth kind of makes me think of a guitar being played and trying to help you relax. The drums have a real urban/hip hop feel to them as if trying to make you feel like dancing really which is always nice I think.

Overall, very smooth and relaxing piece.

[Twins of Duality-<(FTA-Remix)>]

Epibattle?

Sounds like it would be the song playing for one last epic showdown against some kind of super boss where you need to use everything you have to try winning this battle as well. The song sounds really cool and very enjoyable as well to me. I like how you did this one.

The orchestra provides an awesome emotional tug to the song giving a feel that you can win or lose this one. The drums feel really good and have a smooth rhythm. The bass line here is very nice and classy. I like the xylophone giving a whimsical light feel to the song as well.

The piano sounds really nice here and quite hope fulfilling. I like when the drums start to sound like they are snapping for a bit as well. The trumpets later in give a dynamic feel that this is it.

The voice was also nice.

Overall, great classical piece.

Thank you for your review, SCTE3!

Funny you mention "epic battle"; this song is a remix of a tune heard in Epic Battle Fantasy II. I did actually think this song could perhaps function as a reprise/revue of another encounter with the two-headed hydra skeleton boss, in a future sequel of Epic Battle Fantasy.

In my heart, classical was the best way I could think of embellishing the original tune, though the original was a mix of hip-hop and classical genres. So I guess I just tried to strengthen the symphonic side of the song, and have some fun with it.

Actually, the "xylophone" you were hearing, was perhaps the croatles (assuming we're talking about 1:32-1:56). Also, if we're talking about the voice clip @ 2:23 sounding nice, thank you! I wondered whether or not to record my voice at that point, thinking it might be a bit [too] random, but I kept it, and I feel that its likable. Personally, it was a play on HFX's use of a similar voice clip in one of her latest songs.

Again, thanks for fulfilling my review request SCTE3, it was greatly appreciated!

Party time!

Well this is a great party piece I think. It starts out slow and picks up making you feel real good and happy as well. The song just seems to flow rather well and makes you feel a bit hyper yet calm and mellow at the same time. Sounds really good so not too bad here.

The synth sounds like something from a video game actually, nice. The bass is nice and I like the dynamic piano notes giving a dark echo like feel as if a boss battle was going to be starting very soon as well. The drums are great here and very smooth in rhythm almost never stopping for a moment which feels great to me I think and makes me pretty happy to hear it.

Overall, really nice party song, dark, calm, and smooth.

[Preuve de foi]

Calming

I feel this would be good credit music I think or music playing after a dynamic battle was over and only one person was left barely standing beside their friends who helped them get to where they were. The tune just seems to give a feeling that everything will be alright as new life is breathed into the person once more.

The piano is very calming and gives a sense of peace as you walk forth hoping to see what will become of the world now that the dark creature has been bested. The echo effect applied to the piano that plays after each note kind of gives a really light bass feel as well.

The chorus was rather nice and gave a feeling of calmness and peace as the person stands over the dark creatures body watching it take it's last breath before fading away into ash. The organ I hear at some parts is also very nice to hear. The cymbals were great.

Overall, very dynamic and peaceful end battle song, I like it a lot.

[Stargenx - Metal Heaven]

Orchestra battle

Sounds like a boss battle song to me which is pretty cool since those almost always sound cool. The piece gives a feel that you are fighting a near end of game boss who is optional but five times stronger than the final boss yet enjoys remaining hidden as they don't enjoy fighting either. The battle wages on for what feels like hours as well. Very good boss song.

The guitar sounds really light at times yet still seems to hold part of the song there too. The organ sounds rather epic and gives a feel the battle is in some kind of negative area as well. The bass line is good and thick while helping the beat move on. The drums are also very good here and nothing sounds wrong too awful much.

Overall, epic boss fighting music.

Thanks for the review! Go fight some bosses!

[Fields of Neon - MSB]

Neat

Well I think the suggested genre of Dance that you have it on is just fine I think. It does sound much like something I would dance to and makes me think of the Gorillaz for some strange reason. Kind of gives a vivid vision of a cat having a great time as they go on with their day here.

The synth sounds very catchy and lightly charming as it gives a feeling of hope. Liking the dub sounds give a stereo feel to the song that makes you feel even more relaxed than usual. The lighter sounding synth gives me a feeling of floating into the air without worries to have during the day.

The drums sound calm and well done here giving the rest of the song life.

Overall, very well done piece.

[~Rainbow Apple~]

Pretty good

The title makes me think of Applejack and Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony as well actually. The tune itself sounds like it would make for nice exploring music in some kind of a video game as well. The tune kind of ends on a short note but I think if you added in some synth solo and some harder bass kicks later in the song then that would be cool too I guess.

The synth sounds pretty good here and gives a cheery impression of sorts that your day will be better tomorrow no matter how mad it feels that it started. The drums are pretty good and then that's all you hear at the end for some reason. I can kind of hear a light bass in the back I think which sounds decent to me.

Overall, I would suggest making the song a little longer and possibly not ending it with just some drum kicks as well. Not bad.

[~SW~ Depth Charge]

Soothing to the heart

Really like the ocean waves at the start as they get you calmed down and feeling really relaxed as you carry on walking along the beach looking for the answers to who you are seeing many buildings around you have crumbled away into nothingness. Very chilling song though and makes you feel relaxed.

The synth is really nice and has a nice little echo effect to go with it too. The chilling ambient higher sounding synth reminds me of old 90s movies as well. The drums sound rather smooth and quite calming as they give off an echo showing how empty the world has become since the zombies began to appear and many animals have become angrier and more violent as well.

The tune just gives a chill feeling though and I like where it feels it would end and then comes back up again. The backing bass is very smooth and relaxing here and I like it a lot too, very nice.

Overall, very relaxing song. Very enjoyable if just sitting there with headphones on, volume turned up and just closing your eyes while letting your imagination take you places.

I was wondering when a review would turn up. Thanks!

The song is definitely meant to be calming. I was trying to portray the peace and serenity of the ocean while the depth charge is falling down through the water.

I love doing basslines, glad that shows. It was a bit unfortunate, but I had to change the instrument doing the bass. The previous one was either messing up the mixing or inaudible, and I couldn't get in between those.

I'm glad that you could just sit there and close your eyes to listen to it and let your imagination take hold. There was another thing I was going for. I wanted it to be chill.
