Airy
You've done a very good job here.
Listening gives the feeling of having space in my head, might be a good thinking song.
Revisiting the original you've definitely improved on it a great deal. The old one felt heavier, this one is spread out nicely so it can float well.
Drums are better for sure =D
I'm not sure if it's still too airy, but it's due Monday, so whatever. I agree; the spacial quality is much improved from before.
Thanks for reviewing!
Good work!
I like the theme you've got going here, especially when the main synth is playing.
But I can't help thinking that it'd sound better with a base that sounded a bit more plucky. The base fits fine when the lead is in there but when the lead drops out for a bit (1:15 or so) the base without much just sounds like it's the limiting instrument.
Instead of being that cool backbone to the song, when it's alone it just carries on with no added emotion.
Them's my thoughts^^
I enjoyed the solo thoroughly.
Plucky, eh? I don't know, I thought I could've turned the volume down a little, but maybe an EQ change would have brought out the attack more.
BASS HAS NO EMOTION THAT'S THE RULE
lol
Seriously, though, I'm glad you like the solo. Thanks for reviewing!
Good mix.
The intro strikes me as a bit odd, and the song certainly never seems to come back to it completely. But it doesn't seem to detract from the music. Maybe it would on a first listen, though afterwards you already know how the song goes and it doesn't matter anymore.
I like the pitch bend that leads into the, melody I guess it would be called. Lifts the notes and then lets them fall into place.
The melody itself did not seem to get old, especially with the piano that came in about half way through, and the solo. As well as other changes I can't currently remember.
All in all it works well.
Yea, that intro is strange, isn't it?
The original song made great use of the piano, so I wanted to try that out a little, but all in all, I think I bloated the mid-high freq. range. Still, maybe it's not too bad.
Thanks for stopping by!
Eerie
This rewrite doesn't seem to have any trouble expressing itself in the least.
The mechanical slowness of the drums feels like it's putting itself through the motions (in a good way). Your long fade out is beautifully done and truly seems to finish only when it's certain that it has held for long enough.
You nailed it with your story as well. They fit each other perfectly.
You're a shoe in for this round (assuming that's how they write the expression)!
Well actually, Rig had some complications with trips and power outages, which, while unfortunate, means that he couldn't submit anything in time. Unless a special exception is made, I think I'll win by default (again, really not an ideal situation).
Glad you liked the changes I made -- good thing it fits with the story...
...yeah...story...
Thanks for reviewing!
Nostalgia
Yeah it was my first n64 game too.
Your drums are fantastic as always, always coming in at the right time.
My only qualm with it is that the organ-ish lead sounds a little too flat for it's role in such a happy song... just sounds off to me.
My perspective is not the only one though, so I could quite easily be the odd one out here.
Actually, the organs used for the backgrounds were SoundFonts I was trying out; I thought you might not like those, because they sounded a little bland to me. The lead was supposed to be my good organ, but maybe I should've browsed around for different samples in that department. It might be your headphones, but I doubt it.
That's cool that you liked the drums! Thanks for stopping by!
Also, sorry, I accidentally voted your review down -- I was trying to vote it up, but the buttons are so hard to click on an iPod.
Jealous soul
I can feel it in your song.
As influenced by the title "lucky you."
I personally love odd beats, they make a song so much more interesting, and I hate when what I listen to sounds the same as everything else I listen to.
I guess you're right, I can be jealous, quite often,
and I'm glad you like the odd beat!
thanks! (and sorry for the late reply, I've been on holidays in florence)
Sounds great, the title fits well
Whatever new stuff you tried, it sounds good.
Your work is really starting to sound polished.
That's weird, because I didn't put polish on this; I just wiped it with a damp rag.
Still gets the job done :p
Thanks for stopping by!
Like it I
I can't honestly this describe words is someawe
Hallo I just had to write a review : D
Starting right off I really like the drum intro with all of the other instruments coming in at about the same time. The odd beat threw me off initially, but I like it now that I've heard it a couple times.
---One more thing to say but I have to listen to the end first---
Okay, the one thing that I think could be improved on is the continuity of the piece. At the beginning you have this great beat to pull people in, and is fun to listen to. But after about the half way point you never hear it again (at the very least with casual listening). And by three minutes it seems like a totally different song.

Which is precisely why the transition did not work! Well pointed out; I've got to work on my overall form. Thanks for reviewing!
Great remix!
My favorite is the solo of course, I like your choice of instrument for it, as well as the one for the scales near the end.
Pretty useless review but good job!
I feel like something could have happened as an ending other than fading out. Also the elecman part never really seemed to come back...
Kayorent.
Oh, but it was the Elecman part the whole time, my good sir. I just built around the bass-line towards the end. It's just cleverly disguised, although if you meant the main melody (chorus), then you would be correct. It was my plan to drift away from the first section, and try something different, as the original song was just too short in my opinion :3
I appreciate the support, despite my ranting!
Thanks very much!
