[Don't Be That Way (Edit)]

Uprising, yay

This has a pretty cool feel to it actually. Almost feels like some twisted carnival ride remixed into a boss battle song to make you feel a bit weird while the boss battles you with radio music....also reminds me of the desert them from Earthbound with the radio beat keep coming in and out.

The bass is very funky and enjoyable to me and I enjoy it rather much too. The drums are heavy hitting and pretty cool sounding as well. The saxophone with the radio filter sounds pretty cool to me and very funky as well. Very well composed beat though. I enjoyed it.

Overall, funky!!

BuggMusic responds:

Thanks for the review! Yeah, it does kind of sound like a carnival ride. I haven't played Earthbound, but I'll try and find that song.

[Octavastia Your Flank]

Great cover

Well I like how you took the song and made it completely classical and fun to enjoy once again too. Very nice song I think. I really enjoy it. Not an entirely large amount I can say as it is just classy too. The song gives a feeling of hope actually.

The violin gives a feel of hope and love. The drums make you even happier. The bass vocals I hear give a feeling of fun being had all the night as well. I really enjoy this cover of Avast your Ass. Only been out for about a year and look at all these amazing covers of it. Loved the constant rising feel part and it felt like it was so magical as well.

Overall, splendidly classical cover.

Thanks for the review! I think classical covers may become my thing. If only I could think of something original :/

[KKS - Mount Gagazet [FFX]]

Great cover

This sounds pretty close to the original actually except no wind in the background thankfully making the song all that much better. The tune feels like it gets the main overdrive from the drums too I think making it cool to enjoy. Great cover.

The drums are very dynamic and the tune has a mixed boss feeling about it as well too actually. The violin gives a calm feeling that even though the weather is harsh you can make it to the other side and continue on fighting for Spira and stop Sin once more from destroying the planet. The chorus, bass, and synth I partly hear give a feel of heroic deeds happening too.

Overall, lovely cover, reminds me of how much fun I had playing the game.

Thank you man! I can always count on the RRC.
I had a great time with FFX, I recall, and this is but a little tribute to a great game, not to mention the composers.

[ElectroFusion -DrX-]

Dancing!

Well this feels like a pretty cool dance beat and I really enjoy it as well. Not quite sure what Kuduro is sadly. Care to explain that anyways? The beat is pretty sick and makes you feel like dancing calmly while enjoying the light show on stage that the artist has got going for people. The tune is pretty cool though so I enjoy it.

The synth has a little bounce in it as it repeats and goes up and down in rhythm making it stay calm feeling the whole time. Then the aquatic backup bass gives a feel of rising up too. The constant rising feel of the song feels like an illusion on the ears and I really enjoy that too. The drums here are also very cool and calm in rhythm. The bass is lingering in the back and helping this beat move forward nicely, great work there.

Overall, a very calm dancing styled song. I enjoy it.

DavidRx responds:

kuduro is really close to the reggaeton beat if u analyze the beat ull see it has resemblance to it...its ussualy slow paced hard and sensual beat :P
but i thought of mixing it up with synths keeping the beat and adding a bit more electro :D

i ussualy do music for earphones changing the pan all the time or so on :p
i really focused on atmo on this track keeping a nice reverb and giving it a long distance from the beat :3

and thx for the review ure comments are ussualy the most fun to read and analyze the song with cuz u ussualy compare the song with feelings :D and thats
awesome :3 thx

[[Assios] - Handsup preview]

Cake!!

Well this sounds like a solid foundation piece and not too bad at all either. Has a happy party feeling to it as well that kind of makes you put your hands up at a rave and just enjoy the party too. Is that some mixed vocals I hear added to the mix as well? Cool. Very nice demo though, hopefully you leave it when the final product is up so I can try to compare them too. :P

The synth sounds overly cheery and like you were needing to dance to it as well which is pretty great I think. The bass is also happy feeling as well and I enjoy it quite a bit too I think. The drums are pounding and very nice on the ears. Great work there.

Overall, good work in progress. Hope the final piece is even more awesome.

Assios responds:

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! I'll make sure to leave this when I upload the final product.

[Fatal Destiny - Marifax]

Good blend

This actually sounds pretty cool anyways. Kind of sounds like it might work as a battle theme as well which is even better to know. The tone of the song seems to feel like an early game boss styled song I think since it feels like it would be played for an early game boss and then possibly again later in the game when you face them again after they become far more stronger than before. Very cool beat.

The flute is nice and gives a feel of calmness before the storming of the battle here. The bass is calm and I like how the notes linger for a couple of seconds before changing up. The drums are cool and I like the triplet rolling it goes out for and then the cymbal banging is cool. I liked the synth as well giving a feel of the battle getting ready to be more intense.

Overall, great boss song, great loop.

Thanks alot, realy appreciate it :)

[[OS] Madeleine's Theme]

Tear jerked

Ah this is a very nice song and kind of has a sad tone to it as if something very tragic had happened to the character the song tells of. That or they are simply staring out a window at night wondering where it all went wrong for them and why they no longer have any friends. No matter what they try, they can't seem to make it with anyone. They just want it all to stop. They open the window of the ten story building and look down feeling daring.

They soon close the window realizing that is only the selfish way out and close it walking instead to their bedroom and sleeping as the sun rises and they prefer the afternoon and night time as life is so much calmer then. They look out at the moon and stars once more hoping that the next day will be the day that changes it all and that they can become happy.

Very beautiful piano composition. Kind of makes you feel sad if you played it at the right time during a movie or short I think. Wonderful piece of music. I enjoyed it.

Overall, beautiful.

I always enjoy when people write out their visual interpretations of my music. Thanks for the review, SCTE3, it's much appreciated. Thanks, RRC.

[Fanfare d'Imperion]

Roman feeling

Reminds me of older movies with Romans and they usually had these kind of themes playing at different times as well. Sometimes even during a montage of training clips showing them trying to become a better person and warrior or maybe them simply spiraling into madness and lunacy with delusions put into their mind by other warriors and royal people. Very nicely done song. I like the title as well. Gives a feel this song is them simply leaving it all behind until they are ready to come back.

The drums are great and I like how they give a dynamic battle feel as if getting ready for a huge battle in the later part of their lifetime which they must deal with. The flute gives a feeling of calmness and serenity as they seek answers as to who they must become to solve all of their problems and then hopefully that of others as well too.

The trumpets and trombones give a feel of them being on an epic quest looking for answers too.

Overall, very beautifully composed song.

samulis responds:

Thanks for the insight... I love it that everyone has slightly different ideas on the symbolism and relevance of the piece. I never thought of the juxtiposition of the flute and horns in such a way, but it makes great sense. :)

[=(Laughter)=[Remastered]pinkie]

Pumping up Pinkie's dance machine!

Well this sounds pretty sweet I think as well as very well crafted up too. Love the vocals here from Pinkie Pie as well and how she makes it so much more of a party too. The tune makes me feel really good and quite happy at the same time too. This is totally our jam!! And peanut butter too!

The synth sounds very nice on this one and very uplifting. Fast learner like I am it seems which is a good trait in this world too. The drums are cool and I like the claps giving a feel of people stomping on the floor as well as breakdancing too. The secondary synth feels very spaced out and fun to listen to as well.

The song just makes you really want to party all night long too. Get some glow sticks and a big enough room and you can rave and break dance all night provided you give people songs that let them know it is break time and they don't have to dance if they don't want to.

Overall, very great song I think. Really like this one too.

coleknows responds:

I got the idea to remaster it from you :P

I'll explain it to you on some mysterious site ;)

[J@K's Guitar Covers #3]

Wonderful

Well I think this is a really smooth cover and all it needs now is just some vocals added for it to be pitch perfect I think. Very smooth playing though and makes you think of a lot of calm things I think. Nice how he was one of those few left handed guitarists too.

This cover is smooth as your other ones so far too. The playing of it seems to sound calm as well too. Very calm and smooth cover.

Overall, another nice one. Ever thought of adding vocals?

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks, your reviews are awesome, always thoughtful and very much appreciated. Yes, we intend to release some new tracks very soon with vocals. We searched for some time. It was just a matter of finding the right lead singer, and we think we have found the perfect girl. So expect some new original tracks with vocals fairly soonish.

Cheers gamejunkie.
