[Just One More flight]

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!

[~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.

SkyeWint responds:

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.

[RMX-Those Chosen By the Planet]

Doom and demise

Really reminds me of that heart destroying scene from Final Fantasy VII where Sephiroth goes mad and destroys the entire hometown of Cloud, Zack, and Tifa in rage and anger at discovering his father cared nothing for him and only saw him as an experiment at the time as well. You really seem to have captured that essence in this one too.

The drums give a dynamic feel as if knowing when you look into his new cold eyes that you will have to fight him again one day to save the planet from his hateful wrath after you somewhat kill his father who lives on through someone else on the network of an underground organization.

The piano also gives the feeling that this may be your last day alive as he laughs just enjoying the time of killing everyone alive and coming back later it feels strange seeing the town rebuilt with undercover ShinRa workers living there like it was normal.

The synth gives a deep dark feel of someone coming to kill you as well which makes you feel slightly uneasy as you look into why Sephiroth did what he did to you trying to take on the world himself with his power of lunacy.

Overall, incredibly wonderful covered remix, sounds awesome. I also liked the bells.

Thanks.

[Applejack theme fail]

Not too bad

At some parts I can just picture that instrument being replaced with AppleJack's voice for those parts hilariously. Like how you added in her voice as well to make it even better. Sounds like the latter part would make for a nice boss battle or character theme as well so that is not too awful bad.

The guitar was great here I think since it sounded pretty awesome. The drums sound pumped and very well done as well so nicely done going in there with the though of giving her a theme in mind. The synth sounds very cheery and pretty casual.

Really enjoyed the pumped up drum sounds as well. The bass line sounded incredibly bouncy and quite well done as well so I like it a lot too.

Overall, not too bad for a first ever. If I had to suggest how to improve it I guess I would say replacing the guitar for a banjo would be good to give it more of a southern styled feeling.

coleknows responds:

i just wish i had a banjo instrument though D:

It would make it so much more better! Maybe i could use the samples but i remember saying to myself, "NO MORE SAMPLE SONG!" so i doubt that could happen.

[KKS - 03]

Oh, ok

Well this sounds like the start to a creepypasta video game anyways which is cool I would guess. The description makes me think that anyways. The tune makes you think of a chaotic going level of a video game you love but the game does not feel right and something is just not right as it seems to hurt while you play the game.

The synth has a subtle guitar feel to it which is pretty nice I think and very well done too. The static sound is a very nice touch and makes you think that part of the game when you hear the static has the screen get a bit darker then go back to normal strangely. The bass is nice and calm and I really like how it sounds too. The drums are chaotic and good.

Overall, nice creepypasta feeling song and description.

Aw, you lost the game. XD
Thank you for your review ;)

[NCM - Stay Forever]

Pretty classy

Well it does have a very soft feel to it anyways so I like it too. The tune gives a feeling of two people standing under the stars on a roof enjoying the view of shooting stars flying by and wondering what tomorrow will be like as well. Very peaceful tune I think.

The guitar sounds real calm as each note resonates and causes the piano to join in and make the beat so much more lovely on the ears as well. The bass is very soft and calm too so I liked that a lot. The drums were cool and smooth.

Overall, not too bad, sounds nice.
