[Desolo's Sentiment]

Epic remake

Was wondering when someone would do this. Sadly this battle is in the Japanese only. Quite an incredible boss battle considering they take a lot longer than Sephiroth since Terra's armor shell is pretty strong. Ironically the battle begins with it asking Sora (with Ventus/Roxas within him) why they came back after Terra had been forced to betray them. Then the epic battle ensues between them.

The drums sound incredibly fast and quite awe inspiring here as they give a battle march feel to the whole thing and kind of keeps you on edge during battle. The trumpets were pretty cool here and I really liked them a lot too.

The bass line was rather smooth and acted as more or less of a backing beat to the piano that plays on this one too. The tune just sounds incredibly great while fast at the same time too so it works out rather well in the end.

Overall, nice Lingering Sentiment cover.

ill tell u a secret there are easy patterns to make music like yoko :3

[[The Kimono Girls]]

Awesome remix

Have no idea why but I think the Kimono Girl house theme from Gold/Silver was usually one of the few cooler pieces. Kind of had a weird Japanese spy feel to it. Really good to see you did a remix of the place.

The stringed instrument sounds so much more crisp on this one. Like the instrument you use for the bass line as it makes it feel even more classic. The only modern feeling piece of this song is how the drums are playing out on this beat. Still sounds great though.

Overall, awesome kimono girl house remix.

thanks for the review!

[KH- Shrouding dark cloud]

Sounds pretty good

Not too bad anyways. Really reminds me of how fun but difficult some of the boss battles were in the first game since if you died you had to watch the cutscene(s) all over again. Still a really good remake.

The trumpets and cymbals make a nice combination of sounds here too. I think I hear a trombone right? The drums have a nice simple beat though so that works well. The flute sounds nice when it rapidly descends in the beat format.

Overall, nice remake, nice loop.

apivotmaneh responds:

thanks for the review :D!

[-)S(- Celestial Midway]

Cool

I found this to sound pretty cool anyways so I like the dandy feel and atmosphere of it. It kind of makes me think of a weird platform game where you collect things to do weird stuff to make the game progress further along.

The synth sounds very calming and kind of makes me think of some Vocaloid songs along with credit music to Sonic games. The bass line is jazz feeling and very cool to me so I like how you did that there too. The drums remain simple and do the ears a whole lot of good as they enjoy this piece.

The song kind of makes you just feel really happy and almost as if you should be clapping along and that such too. You did a wonderful job on this one.

Overall, excellent audio piece, sounds cool.

Thanks! Funny, a lot of my songs turn out to sound like Sonic :S

[Blade to Kill ~FNG~]

Dub wub wub lovely

Sounds very crazy anyways, kind of makes me think of the episode of My Little Pony where Rainbow Dash was making weird faces and sounds to try making the guard laugh. It is still a very nice and cool sounding piece anyways.

The wubs and deep remixing sounds I hear are very chaotic feeling as if a boss battle were going to start very soon and you had to battle the creature that had done stuff. The synth sounds very pleasing and awesome here as it plays up a beat that makes you feel great.

The drums were cool and kind of wind sounding as they would slowly start at some parts. Really like when it blasts up the full way into a chaotic boss battle sounding piece though as that was pretty sweet to have the song do anyways.

Overall, cool chaotic piece.

Omnivore responds:

LOL! You mean the same episode where Princess Trollestia's pet Pheonix goes into the hooves of a confused Fluttershy, thinking she can use her kindness and knowledge to bring the seemingly 'sick' bird back to health?

Also, thanks! I need practice on automating my bassline to a more suitable catchy tune..

[Just A Dream (SakuraMix<3)]

Great remix

Personally not an artist I care much for though. It actually sounds a whole lot better than the original song too here. The beat makes you feel very happy though and kind of like you should get up to dance as well. You did a nice job on this one this time around once more. Happy to see you still make new pieces.

The piano makes this sound calming yet relaxing at the same time as well. The synth is actually pretty wicked here since at times it felt like it blended in with his voice at some parts. The bass line was pretty cool to me I think. The drums are cool and the triplet and basic unce like beat were very nicely done here as well.

The vocals sound better on this remix though. Remember back when people at the school I went to before graduating loved the tune for some reason.

Overall, excellent remix, sounds very cool.

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

thank you for your detailed review, i like the song not the artist
i remixed this song because of its beautiful melodies, and deep meaning behind the lyrics.
but i do think that it is better with an upbeat kick and bass behind it
ty again :)

[DoH (20% Cooler Edition)]

Still strange

No Pinkie Pie makes me sad. Really nice to see you added Rainbow Dash though, pretty awesome. Next piece should feature only ponies. Kind of have to wonder what the idea of the speech was though? Nice voice editing though, makes it kind of creepy yet very interesting at the same time too.

The piano sounds quite pleasing on this one and plays at a very fast pace. I guess you played it at a certain speed then sped it up to a higher BPM. The bass line is very soft and soothing here as it sounds pleasant. Then the drums play a nice quick beat and is very calming.

Rainbow Dash helps make it cooler. The synth was a nice add on later I see. The voices seem to take on a life of their own as they constantly jump back and forth at each other too. Still quite interesting anyways though. What was the speech about anyways?

Overall, 20% cooler as Rainbow Dash said. :P

DJ-Firepoint responds:

It's a few bits from various speeches, about how the government increased university tuition fees after they said they would cut them during the election campaign; the basic premise was about how polititians lie, and I decided to focus on that. The speech at the end is David Cameron's inaugral speech as the new Prime Minister.
Also, I'm entering round 3 of the brony remix competition, with a song that contains Pinkie Pie exclusively :P

[Queen of Chaos]

Soft start

The windpipe at the start gives a nice start to the song and kind of makes you think something calming maybe happening. Then the drums come back on and begin to give you a feeling as if an epic battle of sorts were going to be starting soon as you head to the battlefield against the queen boss character.

The bass used was very nice and gives a very nice backbeat to the song too. The piano plays rapidly fast and almost as if a madman were playing a away at a fast tone as well. Really have to say though you did well here.

The tune kind of makes me think of several bosses from the Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy series. I think this song would do well in either of them if they played for a secret boss hidden in the games.

Overall, excellent boss battle song.

Shanath responds:

Ah, I'm glad you liked it. The original theme is even better and I'd advise you to listen to it if you ever have the chance.

Thanks for the review. :]

[Hovering Fantasy]

Interesting

Really like how it starts with sounding rather exciting and then it simply calms down later into a soothing piece once more anyways which is interesting to say the least.

The synth is really interesting as it changes between two different synths which was a pretty cool thing to do anyways. The bass was very calming here as well and just in the backing area of the tune which was pleasing. Like how there is also slight and rapid drum rolls too which was neat.

Overall, good trance piece anyways.

Thank you :) Actually there are no drums; it just sounds like it is :P

[NikM - NiteTyme]

Sounds cool

Kind of makes me think of it as an intro to some 80s movie actually which is odd right?

The synth is cool here and very basic in the rhythm area as well. The bass kind of makes me think of Earthbound too which is neat in a way. The drums are simple and very cheery in a weird sort of way too. The later synth sounds are cool yet a bit chaotic feeling at the same time to me.

Overall, very cool new wave piece anyways.

Seems like you enjoyed the track, which gives me the warm fuzzies. It's always nice to read a review that talks highly of a song you created; this song in particular since it was created from a limited amount of samples. Not much more I can say except thank you for such a nice review!
