"Nostalgia!!"

submission: Brinstar Red Soil

date: July 5, 2008

Before I had even read the comments on this being from Metroid, I immediately recognized the tune. Great job. Catchy track, and a great replica. Maybe better than the original even. Its a pleasure to hear your work.

Score: 8

"Like already said, too repetitive"

submission: [Gyration] {v2}

date: July 5, 2008

The beats here are all good, but they repeat over and over with no change. Every time a new beat comes in, its exciting again, but that excitement is ruined when the same beat continues for another minute or so. What really would have done the track justice is if you added some melody to go over what you already have. Maybe a string-imitation synth or an eery casiotone or distorted bass guitar, etc. something to give more flare to what you already have. However, the track is still pretty good, especially at the end.

Score: 6

"Repetitive"

submission: OCTANE

date: July 5, 2008

The basic beat was good, but nothing much was added to it, throughout the whole track. No real development, just repetition. Had you switched between instruments more, or developed the beat more (anything to avoid the repetition). Not bad, but it has so much more potential.

Score: 10

"Awesome"

submission: The Defiance II

date: July 5, 2008

This piece just works. Everything in it comes together perfectly. The instrumentals are great, the part where the piano has the long run is good (although the background trill there is slightly obnoxious, and it is a very concise track. One other thing though is that at 39-40 seconds in you have a rather weird sound briefly come in with all the other instruments, and it doesn't sound good. But altogether, great work.

Score: 10

"Improved so much"

submission: Con Te Partiro v 1.1

date: July 5, 2008

Wow, holy shit this was absolutely incredible. I loved the original, but here you simply improved. It feels a little lighter from the start, the instrumentals just don't feel quite as grungy as they did in certain places previously. That one spot I previously commented on may still be there, and I still recommend removing it, but this is all around a great track. Nearly everything is working now. However, I now notice that in a couple of spots the track seems a little bare. For example, right around the 55 second mark, the casiotone (I think it is at least) is playing out while the melody is in the background, and in other cases too, the melody should be brought out more. Also, the grungy guitar comes in at about 2:55 also, and that is once again distracting. Lastly, the end seems a little un-climactic. The build up is there, but then there is just one little note to finish it, and I feel like the melody-carrying instrument should have the final note. These are my only possible complaints, though, as this is a fantastic piece of work, and you certainly deserve recognition for it. Keep the versions coming, because at this rate you will shortly have a masterpiece.

Score: 6

"Fine, except..."

submission: doom metal loop

date: July 4, 2008

man, that last note is haunting me. It just doesn't feel like it fits. It feels so flat I practically shudder when I hear it. Other than that, a fine piece of work.

Score: 3

"No beat to speak of..."

submission: Woof!!

date: July 4, 2008

Amusing at times, but like I said, there's no clear melody of any sort to drive the song. And what there is becomes immediately obscured by the loud percussion and crazy woofs, becoming a hell-on-earth sounding track. It needs to get straightened out.

Score: 10

"Not bad at all!"

submission: Con Te Partiro

date: July 4, 2008

The instrumentals, especially the melody carrying orchestral one and bass beat of the harp-like piano, were incredible. It was really soothing to listen to. Also, the way the bass line, and sometimes melody, transferred from one instrument to another was very well done. The only part I would recommend changing is just around 45 seconds in, where a low rumbly guitar comes in and it did the song no justice. Other than that, keep the beats coming, or whatever you are doing, because it is working great man.
