[Rucklo - Mysterious Clock]

Fancy

This has a very fancy beat to it actually. Kind of makes you laugh a bit at how corny the beat is. Kind of makes you think of someone being a detective actually but the foundation of this beat is pretty much just mind blowing for something made on clock day really.

The funky bass line and drums just come together and make something cool altogether. Great job on this piece of music really. Wonder what else is up your sleeve in your musical mind?

[Sonic Heroes - Final Fortress]

Ever been that close to space?

"I feel like I have been here before..."

Probably because he almost died in SA2B but this is a very sick remix and remake of a cool song. Aside from Metal Madness part 1 and Egg Fleet this was one of my favorite levels in the whole game to play again and again despite it being very hard with Team Dark and Chaotix.

The rhythm, drums, synth, and bass, all come together and recreate a beautifully chaotic scene from one of the hardest levels in the whole game especially on Hard Mode where you only had one chance to do each level. This song just brings back some good memories of when I played that game a lot.

Excellent work here.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Oh the times I wish I could go to space myself. LOL

I love this level with Team Dark. AND Chaotix. It's a good challenge. Sonic's is ok but kinda easy, and we all know how way too easy Rose's is.

I'm glad you liked the song. This here's a REAL review, and I'm glad you noticed all the details I put in. You must be some sort of music guru to actually pay attention to that sort of thing lol.

Thanks again

[Hang Castle (Sonik & Sky)]

Sweet remix

At first I thought it was just a remakes of the original but then the piano and other sounds come in and recreate the beat in a fresh new way. Love the double beats from the drums and claps, snaps, and other variously amazing sounds. The bells for the soft parts are cool and I have never figured out what the voice was ever saying actually.

The overall flow seems to come together as a fresh new beat on a already good song from a game. Really have to say, you did some great effort here to make such a cool remixed remake of a song. Would love to hear some more.

DreamEater responds:

Haha thank you bro ^^;

I have been a big fan of this song since I was much younger, so I really wanted to put a solid amount of effort into "Re-inventing" this song; It can be hard to add to something that is already so great.

Thanks for you review, and I hope to read more from you in the future ^^

[Seppuku]

Piano and metal

Excellent piece of work actually. Starts with just a piano and then Japanese instruments start in and the guitar and drums sound amazing as well. The song has a very well put together story in itself actually. Kind of gives me a feel like two assassins had just fighting over someone they cared about deeply with the winner escorting the girl/guy they love to safety away from the burning arena.

Really like how about halfway through it picks up and becomes really heavy and awesome all at once. The solo sounds pretty tight as well. I would have to say that overall you seemed to have done an excellent job on this piece. Looking forward to more mind bending solos in the future.

DanJohansen responds:

I absolutely love fiddling with Piano and Asian instruments, they're so organic.
Thanks for listening to the piece!

[I know, I know]

Sounds pretty good

The voice sounds a bit autotuned for some reason but I guess that is just me. the piano sounds very nice and soft though and I enjoyed it. The chorus and drums are very peaceful when they start to kick in as well. This is a very short and sad piece but it kind of makes you feel a lot better inside as well.

Nice work on a short and peaceful song. Looking forward to more from you in the future.

[Rig - Synchrony loop]

Crazy

Upon hearing this I automatically think of crazy and you just acting crazy on a webcam. The secondary synth sounds hyped up and crazy. The first synth sounds pretty rapid fire like someone firing cannons. The bass is kind of loosy gooesy here and the drums make it feel very fast.

This is a great song, really think of it as being awesome and crazy.

[/M: Enrichment]

Solid laying.

Has a nice and soft feel to it that still makes you have a good feel of getting up and dancing somewhat slowly with people that are actually your own friends. The synth, ambient buildup, pounding drums, and everything just come together and create a wonderful tune for everyone to get up and enjoy as well.

The flow of the song makes me feel like I just entered a dance and was intrigued by the many people but I was soon alone after discovering there was no one I knew there. I head to the bar and get a soda and look around and then head to the center and bust a move getting me a few chicks but I turn them all done because I don't know them.

Overall, a beautiful dance song, excellent work as usual.

Mich responds:

I suppose I can see where you're coming from with the feel you get with the song. It isn't quite the most jumpy dance song around, with its mellowness and all. I can actually imagine it being one of the "slow down" songs at a party, when that party's almost over.

I'm glad you like the track, and thanks for the review. :)

[Dramatic Piano Song of Justice]

Sad and dramatic

It does have a very dramatic feel to it. Would go great as background music for dramatic reading of something or as background music in a sad part of the movie where a hero or friend just got killed.

Really like when you began to speed it up though as it sounded really beautiful. Good job on this short and dramatically sad piece.

Ghecko responds:

Totally man. I was crying like a bitch when I made this. Not really, but ya.

[Cryosis - FFX Otherworld]

Excellent cover

The voices sound a whole lot better than the ingame version sadly to be honest. The guitar, drums, and bass were spot on to. Really like how you got all of your bases covered here as well. Have to admit though that this was also one bad ass boss song for destroying Tidus' father too. Too bad he didn't last long in battle.

Overall, a freaking epic cover, loved it a lot. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!! Yes we will. Then off to beat Yu Yevon and Seymour.

[SkyGuardian-Metaljonus]

DBZ vibe

And like you said I can also see Goku riding through the skies on his Nimbus cloud finally being able to relax knowing Earth will be safe for a long time to come thanks to his great offsprings and the fact the final episode shows him being younger than his great grandaughter is pretty funny yet sad.

The guitar riffs are tasty and the drums are very solid. Excellent piece of work. Looking forward to more pieces in the future from you as always. Keep up and keep having fun playing guitar as always.
