[Project X-1067]

I like the sound of this tune.

It really is a good piece. The abundance of rhythms make me want to dance. I love the different rhythms early on from the synths that stacked on top of each other. Makes the listener go "Huh?" so that they can figure out which rhythm to move to. :)

I like the melodies as well. I know dance music has simple melodies, but yours work great for what they're supposed to do.

Please, continue to make more music.

Thanks man! Im glad people like my music and can have a good time listening to them. I want to thank EVERYONE for all the nice comments, advice,encouragment,ratings, and support! It has helped me so much. Again, thank you.

[System Override (MS RAVE)]

I know nothing about raves...

But it's fairly obvious what you and half of the AP know!

Very nice, diverse track, as others have pointed out. The chaotic parts, I think, were great for contrast to the lighter, clearer parts. Nothing says "System Override" like a hefty lack of clarity.

I liked the sampled alarm klaxon towards the end. It punctuates the theme of this piece well.

All the rhythms work very well with each other, and although I love hearing percussion, this particular mix I think could use a little more low-end during the chaotic parts.

Above all, a very worthwhile piece of audio to listen to. I'll give this puppy a download and add it to my collection. Who knows? I might use it for something. Trust me, you'll get lots of credit for it.

Music-story responds:

Well I actually know nothing about raves too. I've only made one so this is like an experimental. I had this alarm sample in my music program and I could never implement it into any of my songs until now. Thanks for the review. I'm done. Bye for now

[Smithy Showdown [smrpg remix]]

Best... SMRPG Mix... Ever.

Dude, I don't think anyone could've done it better (except of course for the original composers, who were limited by the musical power [or lack thereof] of the Super Nintendo), at least here in the NGAP. Absolutely loved this piece. It's so clear, and it flows so well.

Usually synths turn me off since half of them aren't used correctly, but you've used them right. And it sounds awesome.

I leave you with a thanks for allowing me to listen to this track.

[Yogosun: Utopia]

Good stuff.

I'm not big on trance, so I can't really tell you anything that can help in that department.

It seems like it could be a little more varied, but then again it's trance.

I like the drum samples. They work well. Bass was good too.

The melody upsets me a bit in that there's not very much of it. But then, there isn't supposed to be, is there?

Jiao-Zhang responds:

Im not sure... But I dun care becuase it was a small thing I made. Anyways, thanks.

[Homestar Runner Mix]

Me likey.

Very awesome. 'Nuff said.

UnrealClock responds:

Thank you I seem to be getting more popular these days.

[CVSOTN: Dracula's Castle]

Not bad.

Since I pretty much corner the market on this theme (my 2 versus your 1) I thought I'd might as well hear it. It's much better. Your samples are of better quality compared to mine, but like me, your bass drum doesn't come in well at all.

Good job though. We should both work towards trying to make our versions less like the original, though.

Seriously, good job.

Reone663 responds:

thanks and yea idk why my base (bass) drum doesn't come up so well.. oh well.. thanks for the review anyway.

[FF7 -- Battle Theme]

I like it.

I'm a fan of nostalgia, though I write mostly in metal, so a guy like me would absolutely love this -- which is what I do. Good job, man.

LightOtaku responds:

Thanks.

[Zelda - Repose in Gerudo]

Very cool.

It's a little on the slow side, but very cool. Nice and mellow.

Have some pie (omfg pie!)

[<3Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]

Bossa Nova!... Uh, Chevy Nova? Excellent!!!!

Very nice rendition, had me crackin' up.

lessthan3 responds:

Thanks. While recording Du Bist Haesslich, we just sorta cranked this one out. It's very roughly mastered.

[Geno's Song (SM RPG remix]

Really nice! 9/10!

It's a really nice electronia remix of a really good theme for SMRPG. By the way, there's a really good ROBOVoice remix of this somewhere on NG. Give it a listen, too.

Flashburn responds:

yah thats djxbravs
ive heard it its sweet
