[Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruins]

The way it should have been

I remember this level...I did not get to experience the aquatic level until the age of six...after losing for one year consecutively drowing on the prior stag...forgot what the level was called.

anyways, sick mix. sounds kinda like a medieval battle theme. Nice opening with the brass sections and timpani drum. great intro. I love the little sci-fi sounding melodies right before the main section, great way to introduce the chorus phrase of the main song. interesting job of slowing down the tempo a bit and mixing up the rhythms to create a more epic feel. Love the saw synths around 2:25..great job at intertwining classical and eletronic styles.

the quality could be a tad better. but no real problem.

Great remix!

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Thanx bro. The level is called Chemical Plant. That was sorta hard when I was about six . . .

Yeah the quality could always be better but its cause of the program I use. Its sorta crappy lol.

Glad you liked

[The Maturing of Charlie Brown]

Nice job re-creating the feel, I feel fuzzy inside

you must know the song Charlie Brown themesong really to well to create a completely unique track, but still perfectly compliments the original song.

some really striking chords and beautiful melodies in here. crisp, authentic piano tones bring out the sound very well. Everything connects and bridges together so well. great use of dynamics. how long you've been playin piano for?

another thing I love about the progression is how there are some real cheerful parts, perhaps representing Charlie's good times of his mature life...then there's sections were it invokes dark and minor sounding emotions....like when Charlie learns the consequences of unsafe sex or something....

anyways, this is very nice, I dont know what else to write here. I enjoyed listening to this man.

UriahTWolfe responds:

Thanks for the generous review! I really appreciate your feedback! :-)

[Undertone [Nitro3600]]

tight bro

The quality actually gives it a more old school type of feel. thats a really cool beat, sounds like you've got some beatboxing sounding samples in there...or something phased...thats definetly a cool mellow progression, could be used in a funeral type of rap or something. tho you're repeating the same 10 or seconds through a a minute and ten seconds long beat, you could change it up a bit. add some subs in there. you could also use the little transition you used in the intro to make a little bridge type of breakdown...and I wouldnt fade out the track, since its looping.

great flow tho, perfect chill beat to lay some rap lines over the top of it. you've definetly got a cool tune to work with and build from here. keep up the good work!

Nitro3600 responds:

thanks alot for the tip bro i'll take word on that...

[The Rise and Fall of Apollo]

Sweet Trance

I enjoyed listening to this track man. its not a typical sounding trance clip at all; did not sound tedious once

That pad was very beautiful in the intro...sounds like an ocean. and thats definetly an exotic melody, it indeed sounds like something from Greece/Rome, and you made this into a eletronic track, which is very cool. Love the leads and the catchy background beat. thats a real powerful saw in the interlude to emphasize the main themes. sounds pretty nice. During around 2:30 when you're building up, the drum volume levels could be increased.

so man, great composition. Sweet mastering, there were a few samples in here that could use some more mastering(like in the intro, the ride bell around 1:20 would sound sweet with some thick reverb) but thats basically it. You did a good job at playing the main melodies throughout a assortment of synths and different patterns. keep up the good work!

EchozAurora responds:

Thanks for the review man!

I'll try to hit ya back sometime soon.

But yeah, I was kinda aiming for a sorta Ibiza feel.. it is peaceful, and has that sorta dreamy sound.

I might mess with ocean samples and such and retouch this song down the road, there is definitely plenty of room to add to it.

[[The -Sacred Temple g-R]]

Well, nice

This is pretty simplistic, but it has a futuristic battle type of feel to it. as you probably know, the flaws with this track-the saw synths sound too basic, and obviously, those drums are lame as hell. I know you said this was an old song but I hope you use new samples or usr the EQ now :P But the lead synths are pretty nice, I'm liking those little interlude breakdowns, and decent melodies throughout/

catchy, but too generic. I guess this is pretty good in general, but IMO I don't think it deserves to be on top 5....but who I am to say anything.

g-r4ve responds:

go listen to my new song "explosion"

[==(Life of a Cloud)==]

thats a kickass title

I had to click on this. and damn its sick! sounds like a 90s Genesis game after you win a huge fight and everything's all chill!

The drums kicked in perfectly! and good job mastering them this time, I love the stick hits! Nice pads and lead synths, sounds like something out of a Lifetime channel movie. I like the sense of emptiness by using bass sporadically throughout the track. I think you did a great job leading up to the meat of the track towards 1:50, and there's some pretty emotional stuff in here. I think you should have kept going on with this section a bit longer...the resolution progress was a bit uninteresting, the end was kinda weak...I personally think implenting a bassline in the end would make a more dramatic finish...

Overall, another very nice ambient piece for the 1000th time SBB :D

[dum diddle duh duh duh duhhhhh]

this is totally racist

j/k. seriously this is pretty funny shit. nice FX and cool drum beat. all the voices flow and blend together, this an original beatbox style that I havent heard a lot of before. creative job here, I do wish it could loop a bit better.

McFooFa responds:

heh, thanks.

It was really fun to make. :D

[Vintage Bike]

did you do this for the lulz?

this is pretty damn catchy....could be used in a cheesy flash or game. what would be funny as hell prank would be as while some of your friends are having sex and listing to romantic music, place this one minute into the song lol.

Grillpie responds:

It's more of a tribute to the stupid lofi music in old games

that prank sounds fun, I'll should do that sometime

[The Final Curtain(Sample)]

kinda sounds like something in FF8

nice romantic sound you going on here, i would love to hear the full version. cant grade this one too fairly because it ends abruptly(and its just a sample). if you werent on planning on this already, just add some reverb to the keys to make it sound more realistic, and vary up the pace a little more. when the track gets off the ground, add some more hi-hat hits, a better EQed bass kick and a snare or clap. just some suggestions :P good luck!

SoulofDeath responds:

First off, so sorry for the late late late late response...my hard drive FRIED...ugh so this song needs to be began ALL over again, terrible huh? im even having trouble getting FL studio back, (dealing with demo of 7 right now, liked 5 producer edition better :(...) anyway thanks for the review, and sorry again
