[Dracula's Castle (SotN) String]

Great.

This is my favorite mix of yours. Good blend of the instruments, nice moving base and percussion.

paradiddlesjosh responds:

Did you check out Alucard's Castle yet? Or is this a review for it and you just put it on the wrong track?

[Space Warp]

Great!

It is perfect for a space game. I could almost see it being used in Star Fox. I say almost because, the song could have done more. Maybe a soft section, or a part with a faster beat that implies trouble or something. In the future, I think you could benefit from expanding on the main musical ideas in your piece.

Bad-Atom responds:

Thanks,

A funny story to go with this theme - I was at work when this theme popped into my head. I didn't have my voice recorder on me, and I didn't want to forget the melody, so I called my home number and hummed the melody into my answering machine. Then when I got home, it was there for me and I put the whole thing together in an hour.

I may think about expanding it in the future too.

[Sun Goes Down]

I like it.

Nice simple melody, blended with different instruments, making different colors,.. Very nice.
Bouncy base gave it a nice feel. The string synths made it sound like wind. Nice effect!

Bad-Atom responds:

Thanks,

The funny thing about this theme is the inspiration for it. Look up a flash video called "Big Bird's Hide and Speak" and listen to the song. That's where the inspiration came from, believe it or not.

[Super Mario Bros. - Remix]

Nothing new!

Nothing new... It sounds like you worked to hard.
It was hard to listen to, to much noise all at once.

Bad-Atom responds:

Thanks for the review,

Yeah, making video game music is sort of new to me. I'm sure a thousand other people have remixed this theme, but I just wanted to see what I could do.

And since this was my first one, I spent a few days working on it. Usually the less time I spend on something, the better it turns out. What's up with that? :)

[_-=[Waltzing with Madness]=-_]

Unique.

I haven't heard anything like this on NG.
I LOVE the use of the bass choir and the bells.
The running notes in the upper strings give it a nice 'insane' effect.
This is a great audio interpetation of madness.
(btw what program do you use?)

MaestroSorrow responds:

I use Fruity Studio's, but the sounds you are hearing have little to do with the program itself. If you would like, throw me an email sometime, and i'll give you a full description ^^.

Many thanks for the review.

[WG-Storm Eagle-MMX]

pretty good man

I love all the Mega Man music, and this one is one of my favorites. This was a good mix. There were a few things I felt it was lacking, however. I thought it needed more bass, more drums, and a faster tempo.
The instruments and synths were perfect. Sounded 'airy.' Very atuned to Storm Eagles character.
(Have you considered doing a mix of Spark Mandrill or Boomer Kuwangers theme?)

Weapongod30 responds:

No, I hadn't, but I guess that I might now!

[Klassical Kirby]

Great!

I love it. Even though I can't really remember hearing this on a Kirby game... its still a great song! Really nice work man.

LimblessAvenger responds:

i appreciate that coming from you! your stuff is awesome!

[Pokemon Blue Opening Theme]

I like it.

Even though its not one of my favorite songs... I still really like what you've done with it. The drums and stuff gave it more of a battle feeling. Nice job.

Anima-Theory responds:

Thanks for the good review

[Castle Ascent]

Not bad...

This was kind of repetitive... But somehow I did get the feel of a haunted castle. Maybe castlvania style... I guess my only objection is that it needed a better melody. (or a melody at all)

ninjamonkey responds:

thats cool. I'm not the best at making melodies but ill work on it. Be sure to rate it so it doesnt have a 0 though. Maybe in the future there shall be a castle ascent revisited with better melody?

[Mario Bros: Water Stage Theme]

Not bad..

I like the piano you used. (I know its a program)
As the other guy pointed out, some of the chords were wrong. Was that intentional? If it was I'm not sure I liked it. This was still pretty good though.

Klawd responds:

yes, it was intentional (my hand is way too small), and the piano isn't a program...
