[Magic [IC]]

Nice cover

It's a wonderful cover but it's by Pilot not Selena Gomez (although her cover is halfway decent). This sounds really nice and cheery just like the original, now it just needs someone on vocals and it would be a lovely cover to listen to I think. I think Pilot would be happy to hear this instrumental cover anyways. Also works well as a karaoke version too. Nicely done cover of a great song.

Fifra responds:

oh yeah i forgot it was by Pilot. if anyone want to add vocals they are welcome :) thx

Twisted Metal

Is this homage to Twisted Metal at all since that is what it seems to be reminding me a lot of. Sounds pretty harsh yet amazing at the same time, very nicely worked up piece of music I think. The tune sounds like it would do well as a party or boss song so nice work there on doing that with this piece.

TheBiocide responds:

Thanks, man! Glad you think as much! I wanted this to be a party type song, so I'm glad I got that point across xD

[Devil's Lab Remix]

Well done

I do remember this tune fairly well but I cannot remember exactly which Final Fantasy it originated from. Very dramatic piano and drum cover though, very loud, layered and quite well done I see. I even hear a synth here, how graceful. Very nice cover of an awesome Final Fantasy piece, I liked it.

GriMMME responds:

It's from Final Fantasy 6 (3 in America on the SNES) with Kefka as the antagonist.
Ya know that really does mean a lot to me. Thanks to you I am more confident in myself with making more music/remixes. Your are now my inspiration to keep moving forward, and now my goal is to impress you just a little more, hopefully. If not, I tried :P. Yet once again, Thank you with your kind words of awesome. ^_^

[Underdrive]

Calm battle

This sounds a lot like something you would hear before entering a boss battle in some game where you have to give a speech and junk before doing the final battle with whatever is causing the region or world problems that need to be solved. Very good yet quirky sounding piece of music I think. Just has a weird tone to it with a bit of hip hop feel mixed into the classical orchestra area.

The drums I notice seem to be a bit of hip hop which kind adds a bit of bounce to this battle like theme as you get closer to the field unaware of what the final boss could be. The bass and bass drums combine to make the whole thing a bit louder which seems to be good here and I like that.

The violins were nice on the ears and then they get dynamic feeling and make you muster up courage going into the battle. The quirky synth provides a nicely done beat I think for helping you move into it too. The tune just seems to hold a great battle feel though.

Overall, very nicely done and dynamic piece.

Enzer0 responds:

Epic Review! Thanks for your input and visuals you had. Im glad to know it gave you vivid thoughts of a battle. It is pretty bouncy, I like bouncy :D

[[DI] After This Moment]

Neat

Although it took awhile for it to build up to the point of where it started to sound good and around forty-five seconds in it kicks up and becomes very interesting to say the least I think. The tune kind of makes me feel like bobbing my head as a DJ does and just chilling out while this piece plays.

The synth has a cheery atmosphere to it and in fact seems to boost the rest of the tune by giving them something to run along with and I do like how it is going as well. The building up winds are nice and breezy I think. I also like how subtle and smooth the bass sounds, just pretty much very relaxing.

The drums are cool and remain calm for the most part and pick up a few extra notes along the way to make the beat a bit heavier. The crystal like sounds I hear are also fantastic I think.

Overall, very nicely done house piece, did like.

Directinput responds:

thanks.

[Ragtime Experiment]

Pianos

Well this most certainly turned out to be a most interesting piano piece anyways. At times it is calm while at other times it gets incredibly fast sounding as well which makes it pretty cool here.

I can kind of see it going to a video of some guy or girl being sad they cannot find their cat and they go on a little adventure around town trying to find the cat while the cat is also looking for them as well.

Overall, nice piano composition.

VooDooCompositions responds:

Thank you for your kind words :)

[Friendship is Eternal]

I agree

Friendship is a truly great thing to have I think. The beat here is kind of quirky but it sounds really great at the same time and I like it pretty much. How long did you spend on this anyways? Oh and this loops perfectly, how friendly!!

Scrototype responds:

Thanks for the review bro. I spent about an hour and a half on it. I had troubles with the lyrics they were pretty hard to come up with. :P

[Journey to the Afterlife]

Very good

The start made me think of the intro to Kingdom Hearts II actually, not bad for a game anyways. This is a great remix of his tune. Wonder if he will remix this on top of your remix? Oh my, that would be completely interesting I think to see that happen. Feels kind of like it would do well as a boss battle piece as well I think so that works out too.

The flute is calming and eases your mind as the battle wages on against the dark clone of yours who seeks to destroy everything you know and love so dearly. The piano strikes a lot and gives a feeling of a bit more calmness in the battle as you try your hardest to find their weakness.

The drums and chimes give a dynamic and epic feel to the battle as you keep going never giving up the battle for as long as your will, mind, spirit, and body will allow you.

Overall, epic boss battle piece.

Review Request Club

Step responds:

Hey, thanks! This is the first review I got in weeks and I appreciate it!

I'm pleasantly surprised that you think this sounds like boss battle music. It won't make ideal boss music because of the mellow piano/flute/harp parts, but it's still nice to know that the parts which I intended to sound 'epic' paid off!

Thanks again!
