[Forever Gamer]

Very GOOD!

I wonder if you can stir up more lyrics about other familar games such as mario and zelda...after all..you have mario saying NIIIIINNNTENDOOOO!

Other than that it's a great salute to GAmers around the world.

SkyMarshall responds:

Yeah, looking back I agree. More games, more lyrics and more references could be squeezed in there. But, I do intend to make several remixes of well-known loved Nintendo-tunes pretty soon ... I guess I'll have to make up for it then.

[nameless song]

hmmm....what would be a good name.....

I won't give you a name...but I can imagine a few things when I listen to this piece.

I imagine....going up and down....I imaging.....flying in the air with autum leaves....I imagine....a sweet girl....a feeling of happyness and joy just seeing her...the feeling makes my heart Jump! I feel excited.

Hope this helps.

I'm favoring this ^^

trevor8 responds:

hey thanks,
much appreciated

[The Iron Mask (CM/CFD)]

AH...you almost nailed it.

But it's like...the first 45 seconds has really good build up...but then it slows down dramatically....like at around mintue 1 and 2 minutes...it really REALLY doesn't match with the instrumentals.

I was kinda hoping this will be like Dethklok...but even the lyrics seem out of place...the voice of the demon and the other voices seem out of place.

I mean...it's good...and I know you must have worked really REALLY hard on this...but its like....some parts of it really seem out of place and not in the right order.

This can be STAR ROCK band quality if you just fixed this up some more....I'm no musician..but I am a pretty good observer and offer lots of helpful advice.

All I'm saying in general...is your ALMOST there.

XxCRUCIFIEDxX responds:

Thanks man. I appreciate your honest opinion and vote. I'll take that into consideration.

\m/ HAIL! \m/

[def for fed]

Very Cool

sounds like I'm walking though a techno getto street. As some kind of cyborg thing.

Cars fly above my head...the poor walk...the toxic fumes from the cars as well as from underground pipes..many of the poor residences have to wear gas masks or enhance themselves with cybernetic lungs or parts.

Many people suffer in this dying planet.

Kassich responds:

thanks! awesome visualization! i totally can see that!

[Remix'd Retro Super Mario Land]

Ah...a classic brought back to life ^^

DUDE! Videogame fans will rejoice at the sound of this remix...

I wouldn't change a thing...except maybe that pause inbetween the origional and the remix...the pause is just a tad long....just a "bit"'''''' shorter. That pause button sound.

Perhaps after 1:30 seconds you can add some electric guitar?

A 5 on my vote and a 10 on the review.

MC-Jimmy responds:

I will see what I can do since I really like this song and I like messing with it a lot. :)

[Crystone Caverns]

Very Good

I hope it's a space shooter game or something...It does sound like R-type.

Ric-Olzow responds:

Yah...Maybe I'll learn some flash skills sometime and make it a real flash game...

[*What Have I Done? *]

I am suddenly filled with a sense of deep regret

This song would go perfectly with a scene of regret...pain...and suffering.

Like a Guy walking though the rain...holding a single rose...the thorns piercing deeply into his hands...the blood dripping down only gives him a painful distraction to the loss of his love in that fatal accident.

He looks in the alley way...thats where he had the flash back....

He and his girl were walking home from the theaters...suddenly...a group of guys rush him...he is taken into the back of the alley and his girlfriend is taken behind the corner....he's beaten up quite badly...and falls on the ground passing out...all he could hear was the struggles that his dear friend was making trying to escape...and calling out his name.

When he awoke...he got up...and walked up to her..only to find her body...lifeless.

She gave it her all....to try and save him...but lost her life stuggling.

"Why couldn't I protect her....as she tried so hard to protect me....."

KTRECORDS responds:

Holy crap that's deep! It's great! I can picture the whole thing! Man, that really is depressing... Lol, I almost feel bad for writing the song now.

Thanks for the great review! It makes me feel that putting all the effort into this song was worth it! Have a great day : )

[Key on a String]

Sounds very tribal

like something out of an african american bee-bop tunes...with a bit of jamacian twist...kinda like blue-man group.

The Build up to hip-hop earns my greatest respect...if your a group...make this shit work....I think you've got what it takes^^

-JBK

Tinmanusa responds:

Thank you, Tinman=one guy. Great review!

[Silent Thought]

The Build up is a tad long...

but you have the creative sound bits that can only compare to Gorillaz newest Album D-Sides.

You really capture the feeling of bizzar techno sound bits.

But try to reduce the intro from 1:45 to only 30-45 seconds...newer listeners might lose interest.

-JBK

revamped responds:

It took me about 30 mins to mix that synth correctly, good that someone takes notice in it.

[What Have I Done? incomplete]

It does have that sense of regret to the melody

Although I feel this is aimed towards videogames....some of the notes sounded a bit 8-bit...but only between the first 30 seconds.

KTRECORDS responds:

One of the instruments I wasn't too sure on keeping at first because I noticed that a few times it seemed a little fake. So I think I know what you are talking about. In the end it did more good than harm, so I went ahead and just left it as is. I do feel my song would fit perfectly in a video game though, you are right, lol.
