[Star Fox 64 Main Menu (Remix)]

Casual

Sounds very close to the original but more chilled and relaxing sounding. The bass sounds incredibly soft and the synth sounds cool I guess. The bell sounds good to me as well. Brings back some good memories of Star Fox 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Corneria stage.

The flow seems to go along smoothly and feels nice as well. The piano makes the song sound a bit more lively. I could see this as credit music in a game or a menu song for an indie game in space I guess. Aside from all said, this is a chilling and a good memory bringer.

Overall, very nice work on this.

Great; as long as I keep the nostalgia flowin', it's all good.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Benny's Prelude]

Cheery Pokemon

Getting a real feel that this could be a Pokemon Center or shop song in one of the Pokemon games. The piano sounds really uplifting and slightly fast at the same time. Add another key at the end and it could be a perfect loop as well. The cheery uprising tone of the piano is nice and could also be used as a ballroom dance song as well.

Kind of makes me feel happy actually, very nice little loop you did here.

[NG Voicemail]

Weird

Shortest audio review I have done in awhile. Honestly what was this voicemail about? You should upload more so we can hear more funny voicemails.

[Showdown in Whiteland]

Good game, good mix

I remember I use to play that game and Super Mario World all the time. This theme is great actually. Think you could try the Fire Fields theme next? The guitar solo is incredible as well. The keyboard sounds very nice to me as well. This is good.

The flow is wicked and comes as close to the original as possible as well. The way the song ends out though is just a good nostalgic remix and ear candy/ Nice job on this.

McSwainy responds:

You're in luck! Fire Field is actually on my to-do list after some Final Fantasy and Zelda pieces.

[.:A Gypsy's Festival:.(RAC 5)]

Impressive

Really has a latin beach feel to it. The drums sound cool and make me think 8-bit as well. What stringed instrument is that by the way since it sounds nice? Has a real beach feeling to it. Could possibly see it being used in a game where you are in a urban/beach type area looking for something or just talking it up with friends.

The piano sounds good and I guess would take place of a guitar in this song as it sounds nice to me. the stringed instruments sound nice and I like the wind instruments playing as well. They seem to be pretty good. If you were to improve I guess you could simply make it a bit longer and that's about all you could do with it really.

Overall, this sounds really pleasing to the ears actually. Nice job on this. Good luck as you continue on in the contest.

Thanks for the review!

This is actually not latin music, I posted it in latin because it's the category that I think relates to exotic folklore, as this is middle-eastern folklore.

There actually is no piano in this music, but I hear now that there could be confusion with the lute, as the MIDI sounds are too crappy to be discernable...

The length issue is due to the limit given by NeonProject, director of the competition, who set the bar at 3 to 4 minutes.

Anyways, thanks again for the review!

Cheers,

[69-your my angle (DrX remix)]

Sounds alright

Kind of makes me think of Earthbound a little bit where he is in his mind activating the last sanctuary. The piano sounds nice as well. The slight build up sounds are good. The drums and other sounds are cool as well. Like the electro bass kicks a lot sicne they give it some life and the synth sounds cool.

The synth reminds me of leitmotifs a lot as well. The ush ush ush beat I hear is pretty cool I I guess. The flow of the beat kind of just feels sad for some reason, not sure why though. The feelings I get from this song are also kind of mixed as well, kind of like shock, awe, sadness, and a slight bit of happiness in there as well.

Overall, this is a pretty good tune. Even if it is a test tune it still sounds nice.

[Earthbound: Sky Runner]

Awesome

This is a real good cover of the sky runner theme from Earthbound although you only fly in it twice before you get the warping ability. The drums sound rapid and awesome the keyboard is spot on as well. Well done on this beautiful gem.

On a side note. Did you know the tune is actually just a remix of the intro to won't get fooled again?

[{Final Agression}]

Twisted

I like how twisted it is. Fits the tone of Tricky quite well since he is one of the most bizarre and twisted clowns I have ever seen. The synth sounds very evil and the keyboards make it calming a bit but you can't stop the sound of evil in this song.

I like how it sounds rapid with the DJ sound mixed in and the drums sound amazing as well. This is probably one of the best pieces I have heard from you. Nice job working on this one.
