"This one's good."

submission: Yoshi's Island Boss Battle

date: January 6, 2007

This is good - I can imagine this actually playing in the game in place of its original. The problem is, I can imagine it like that a little too well - from what I remember from the original song, this isn't very different.

I like what you've set up in the beginning of the song with the drums, and I can easily imagine you following through into a breakbeat remix, though you didn't. What I don't like is how it ends - is this supposed to be a loop or what? I'm more for real endings, even if it means simply fading out rather than cutting off like you did.

All faults aside, though, you've done a fairly good job on this. If you're planning to submit another remix anytime in the near future, consider it reviewed. :)

"A good song that could be better."

submission: Shaman--_--(3:49)

This is sounding like a great song, overall - though there are a few things in it that bug me. Firstly, the introduction seemed somewhat repetitive, though the part after that compensates for it when everything comes in.

You stick with the same 7-note pattern throughout the entire song with very little variation in it, and while the other parts of the song (say, the drums and the harmonies - great variation there) partially make up for it, this song could have been a lot more and I don't think you do that justice.

Finally, in the ending you just fade it out - it seems you didn't put very much effort into it.

Maybe this is just how the song is supposed to be and I'm just not one for this kind of song - but I'm simply giving my opinion here.

Ah, and another thing - I've been getting a lot of positive feedback on my latest song, Dark Storms at Sea, but next to no criticism - I'd appreciate it if you gave me your two cents. Thanks a lot.

"Seems I've really got to listen to that song!"

I need to start by saying thanks for the review - I felt like reviewing another of your songs, so here you go. :)

This song is pretty good, though it lacks in diversity - is this another semi-house song or something? Bleh, I'm bad with genres. =P

I don't really have a problem with this song at all other than the diversity - it's good, though it's not exactly the style of music I'd listen to. You've done a fairly good job with this song overall, though. Given you improve with each song, (it wouldn't make sense if you didn't, hah =P) more songs like this are a good idea. :)

"Sounds like you spent ten minutes on this."

submission: HrrHd - Band Practise

date: January 4, 2007

It feels a little too... simple. It's definitely too short, as well. True, it's a loop, but too short and simple of one to even be used in a game. Try having a real melody instead of that five-note pattern that plays throughout the song. The percussion is also repetitive, as well - maybe not to the same degree as the five-note pattern, but still very repetitive. Try making this longer, and then changing the percussion at a later point in the song. Just trying to help - I hope I did. ;)

"You know, you should make..."

...an original song of yours with the same feel to it, if you haven't already. This is a great song! Some parts of this song (namely, the introduction and parts like it) are very original - your choices in synths/sounds/percussion/etc. are also very good, in my opinion. Overall, you've done a nice job remixing this song.

Also, if you have the spare time and don't mind, why don't you listen to and review some of my songs? Especially my latest, Dark Storms at Sea - you won't be disappointed, trust me. :)

"Good song. :)"

submission: DJ RISE- Orincoco Flow

date: January 3, 2007

Well, to begin with, it starts a little too high-pitched, and then it's a little too loud. The beginning's a bit repetitive, though it gets better as the song goes on. Your transitions are great, but the individual sections are a bit repetitive. The ending could have been better as well. Other than that, it's a great song. :)

Ah, and while I'm at it, why don't I suggest you listen to and review my songs, especially my most recent song, Dark Storms at Sea. It would definitely make my day. ;)

"Great song!"

submission: {James Bond Breakbeat Remix}

date: January 3, 2007

I felt it was about time I started reviewing your songs, (especially since you're one of my favorite artists!) so why not start now?

As a beginner, I really can't find any flaw in the song since you're 10x better at this than I am. =P One suggestion I have for this is that you should have changed things up about halfway or so through the section of the song that begins 53 seconds in and continues for most of the rest of the song. But other than that I have nothing to suggest, which basically means I think you've done a really good job with this. :)

Also, I'd like you to (if you have the time and don't mind, of course ;) ) take a look at my audio page, especially my most recent song, Dark Storms at Sea. (And leave a review if you're feeling generous. =D) No need to, but it would definitely make my day. Thanks. :)

"Too much bass? Not at all!"

submission: Wise_Men

date: January 1, 2007

However, I do think it is a little loud in the beginning. I can tell that you've put a lot of effort into this one! It sounds very video-gamish, and I can virtually guarantee that if you get enough publicity this will be one of your most often-used songs in submissions. You did a great job with this song. :) More songs like this are a great idea!

Ah, and while I'm at it, can I suggest you (and maybe anyone else reading this review :P) listening to and maybe reviewing my songs if you've got some spare time on your hands? It would make my day. :)

"Nice and shiny. I like it. :P"

I like the sound of this song. You made a good choice with instruments and sounds in this one, save the synth at the beginning which doesn't quite fit with the rest of the song.

There's little or no repetivity in this. This is a really good song - you should do more collabs! XD

I don't have much else to say, but I think I've said enough. This is goooooooood stuff. :P

"*loop-de-loop sound* Whee!"

submission: B34T1N & Shmallow - Owie!

date: December 29, 2006

This is one of those songs that grows on you - the first time you hear it, you think it's ok, the second time, you think it's genius. :)

You made good choices with your instruments and sounds, in my opinion. What I really like is the "loop-de-loop" sound (I don't know what it's called) that plays two or three times in the song. The drums are great too, and when you've got the melody going with everything behind it, it's nothing short of awesome. The voices add to the song, though towards the end of it it sounds like you're overdoing it. :P

You suffer from a problem of yours here - repetivity. It's great, everwhere, but I think you could make the song "evolve" as you go through. A climax somewhere towards the end would work nicely.

That's about all I have for you. More songs like this are a good idea. Keep making them! :)
