Beautiful playing. I'm kinda jealous of people who can play stuff like that on a piano.

Respect

Thanks Spadezer!
Believe me - I'm jealous of people who can play better than me too XD
That is why I'm striving to get better :p
Btw, you make cool stuff :D

As soon as it got to 00:08, I'm like "Oh my gawd" for the rest of the track. The rest of the piece I'm like "it's Samus, and a fighting mech, in a really dark part of paper Mario....... SO COOL!" Heh, it's so hard metal without being metal ( ... that would make it industrial then wouldn't it?)

A problem I have is at 02:18. It sounds too empty between 02:18-02:32. I think all it needs is another synth in unison but an octave lower maybe. It's a very short of the piece that's missing a little something, but you fix it really quick in the song. It also seems like the melody synth you have doesn't stick out in the foreground. It starts in at 00:21. Maybe if you turned down the apreggiating synth a tad and give the melody more attack it might be a little more appealing.
But man, this is still pretty sweet to listen. I can't find anything else wrong with this, and I don't want to find anything else wrong with this. The percussion and all of the sound fx are so sweet, the bass synths just works so well. Oh man the percussion groove is sweet. With all of the other music I've been listening to here, I'm used to it being twice as fast, and then you bring this along and I'm almost bashing my head into the computer with how I'm headbanging.

Much yes

Thanks a lot for the tips and kind words. I'll definitely have a look at both that specific segment and the main synth. I do have the negative tendency of trying to make a lot of elements leveled equally in a song to fake the impression of extra complexity (I don't do it consciously, but in retrospect, it's quite a bad habit).

Thanks again and I'm really glad you liked it!

Yay organ!

The track is good but I feel like it needs a little more work. I like the bass, the organ I feel like had too much vibrato, but it has a sweet sound going on. You need more drums in general, but more-so in the kick and snare and toms. The distorted guitar could use a little more but it's a good level where it is.
It's a cool piece and the composition is decent.

Be awesome, be more awesome, and repeat.

Azhthar responds:

Thx for the input! I´ll have to check on the drums if I find some time, especially in the ending there could be some more variations I guess... I actually like the strong vibrato at the organ ;) Anyway... Glad you like it!

It's so lovely and beautiful. I feel like I'm travelling through the clouds. It feels so open like a house song, but the tempo is a bit slower. The mixing is pretty good too. Even though things like the bass is a bit quiet, it's not so quiet that it can't be heard and it's good where it is.

Thanks man,

KabukiTunes responds:

Thank you! I'm gonna try to make more stuff like this, so look forward to it :D

Definitely feels like it's out there, but I love how it's put together. It's got a weird vibe (and I'm not talking about an instrument), but it's really colorful. The singing is good too. You have a really nice groove going on the drums when the lyrics start. I like the harmony. I can tell it's in falsetto and they're clean, but I feel like they'd be a little better an octave down IMO. The ending makes me think of Panic at the Disco for some reason.

Anyway, sweet stuff.

Kabalist responds:

At the moment I'm kind of trying to figure out "my thing". Weird or not, I really digged this tune, and I'm glad you did as well! I wish I could've stepped down that extra octave, but that's too damn far from my vocal range, haha. I've never actually heard of that group before, but yeah, there's some resemblance.

Thanks for the review! Take care!

I came over here because of your musical journey post on your thread and I just had to write something down here. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 were some of the coolest games I've ever played. And then you made a remix here that gave me chills. I'm geeking out so hard right now! This makes me so happy I can't help but smile as I'm writing this down. It's so good!

Step responds:

Haha I'm flattered! Metroid Prime games are just amazing. I'm pretty happy with this cover because even though I think I could've done some better voicing with the instruments, I thought that the orchestral/soundtrack approach was a great idea for the Prime 1 menu theme.

I'm glad you like it!

It doesn't work for me as much, and I hope it's not because I'm misinterpreting the track. Your mind doesn't work the same on a small amount of sleep. 03:41 to the end makes sense though. It sounds too vague and too empty for me. Although this is just in my opinion and a bunch of people in the reviews section seem to enjoy it a bit more than I do.

It does a good job creating a low-key atmosphere, and in certain scenarios it's probably not too shabby. The main things hurting it is that it's got a lot of empty space that I can't get past and the distorted guitar didn't feel quite right in the later half of the song.

I'll blame it on some misinterpretation of the song on my part, so I'll give you a 4

Chemiqals responds:

No porridge is just right for everybody! =P

A pretty energetic piece, although it couldn't hold my attention throughout the whole song. What could have been cool to hear is if you were to change up the first half of the song with the rhythm change like you did at the end, and then repeat that and maybe even vary it a little more after the quiet break you have in the middle.
The drums seemed to be a tad too much. I'm thinking that they weren't too bad of a volume, but after a while, especially when I was trying to pay attention to the lyrics, it would have been nice to hear them be a little more dynamic than full volume 80% of the time all at once.

Enough of the bad though, I like the atmosphere you have. Oh, the vocals are pretty sweet. I'm going to assume that's you singing and I like what I hear. I don't know if they lyrics match the mood of the music, but that's personal preference. 03:14, I catch myself looking around cause it sounds like there's a car outside of my house with a loud bass at first. Nice touch. I really like the rhythm change at 03:30 compared to what you were doing in the first half of the song. Heh, the pop/click at 03:42 makes me smile everytime.

Yes I'm hear and I'm listening. And I'd give you a 8.5/10 in personal opinion.

KabukiTunes responds:

Thank you very much for your review! The vocals actually come from a vocal pack that I bought, I really wish I could sing that well. I plan to fix this song up and release it fully (since I only had 2 weeks to do anything), so I'll definitely keep this review in mind

Do you like dubs? Do you like Wubs? I've got them in SPADES! Sprinkled in is some actual melodic content so you don't think I'm a hype junkie
