[~SW~ Watching Time Fly]

Groovy

It just does have a real relaxing feel to it. Just sit back, kick your legs up on the couch or on a chair and enjoy watching clouds fly by above, maybe even see a few rain and thunder storms outside. Really nice piece, also kind of makes me think of Resident Evil for some reason as well.

The bass is very soothing. It almost has a feel of just being to make you calm down a lot if you were upset for some reason too. Then the drums play a soft track that lures you into being able to sit down and simply relax there in that chair or couch. Very soft.

The the pan flute feels real soft and kind here as it allows your imagination to run to soothing things that could happen on any day in the sky. Relaxing indeed.

Overall, I find this to be a real relaxing piece of work.

Review Request Club

SkyeWint responds:

What the- I didn't request this. Odd. I only just uploaded this. Were you just going through the new music and listening to it, reviewed, and forgot that this wasn't requested? Or... was it habit to put "Review Request Club" at the end of your review? :P

Thanks for the review though, I enjoyed reading it! And because of it, I will now actually put it on for a review.

(Question: If you don't have a problem with a piece, why do you always review it 9? I don't think I've ever seen a 10 from you.)

[Super Mario 3 UnderWater song]

Pianos

Well this is a rather pleasing piano cover anyways. It does remind me of the fun it was to be underwater in those games being able to somehow magically hold your breath forever without drowning. The only thing about the underwater levels that ever annoyed me were the sleeping fishies that came after you and the bloopers. The other fish didn't bother as much. Very good piano cover loop.

[Mario RPG: Final Battle]

Good remake

Seems to be able to have captured that dark and weird feeling of the battle I think. Smithy was one truly weird final boss since he went through different head forms too.

The drums maintain a very nice and simple beat that seems easy to follow and even play. The stringed instrument sounds great. Also I hear a xylophone. The bass sounds pretty pleasantly done on piano I think. The tune just has a dark demise feeling to it like this is your last chance to beat him once and for all.

Overall, excellent cover, excellent boss battle.

Take Care

[Super Mario Bros. 3 1-3]

Sounds good

I find this to be a really simple piece that goes well. Like how it covers all the aspects of the original piece too I think. Nice cover.

The guitar sounds great and very pumped up as it plays here and hits all the high notes of the original. The bass and the drums in the back are barely audible sadly. Make them a bit louder and it's better I guess.

Overall, fairly nice guitar cover.

[Liar (What's Wrong With You)]

\m/

Reminds me a lot of The Ramones and Iggy Pop too. Sounds really cool though. This is a pretty swell punk piece though, sounds like you spent a while coming up with lyrics too.

The guitar sounds quite cool and fast. The drums sound rapid like any punk song and love how the drummer seems to have a lot of spirit put into it too. The bass breakdown was really nice here. The vocals are very cool as well as the backing vocals.

Overall, when it all comes together it sounds great.

Triplejc responds:

Thanks ^.^

[DKC2 - A Stickerbush Symphony]

Ambience

Kind of reminds me of the water levels from the first Donkey Kong Country but a little less creepy actually. Never got to play DKC2 though, always wanted to though. Was the game any good?

The synth plays a good beat and I like how it has a constant feeling of rising up too which makes it cool to hear to my ears anyways. The bass line has the similar effect too and sounds nice. Like the drums playing that simple beat they got.

The secondary sounds I hear provide a lot of ambient tone for this. It just makes it sound like you were exploring some area that had not been touched by anything in ages too. Really nice effect.

Overall, wonderful cover piece, sounds really nice.

teckworks responds:

Oh, yes it was. It was heralded as the best in the series. The game's got about 2+ hours of playtime compared to DKC1 if you want to complete it 100%. Plus great graphics and a stellar soundtrack to go with it. Thanks for the feedback, good sir~ :>

[Where is Tomorrow?]

Calming

All I can really say is that is some nice guitar play, sounds really soft and soothing too. Nice.

[_Alone Again_]

Soothing

I found this to be a nice and soothing house piece at least. Makes you feel real calm and relaxed as you listen to this short piece. Very nice and pleasing though, nice work here.

The synth sounds pretty hoppy but also as if it were trying to lure you in while a new song prepares to be played. The bass line remains soft and in the backing area supporting the song and helping it move along. The drums are cool sounding and I like how they feel here too, really good.

Overall, soothing house loop.

You-Kraine responds:

thank you mate! very great words you are saying ;D

[Super Mario Kart: Ghost Valley]

Good remake

That shepard note just fills you with absolute dread every time you hear it like all the happiness was being sucked out of you the whole time too. Really nice yet simple remake though with just a sheperd note, bass, and some up and down sounding keyboard effects as well. Very nice and creepy loop here.

Majorgeneral responds:

Thanks :3
