[FL GO: Hyrule Field]

not bad

Well...heres what I think of the song. You did a very nice job for using only the GO sound, as it is fairly entertaining to listen to and is a unique rendition of the original. However, a song just cannot sound very good when only a GO sound is used, as it takes more than that to make a really good song. So its a cool idea, but I would spend your energy on real music, as I think your composition skills proceed this kind of stuff.

Master-K responds:

Thank you ACTUALLY REVIEWING. 40 listens? ONLY six votes? 2 Downloads?
You guys need to ACTUALLY tell me how you feel about this stuff.

Now to the actual responce:
i am glad you reviewed this song. Thanks.

[Resident Evil]

Wow

This is awesome! Everything sounds great, I love the synths you use, the ambience, everything. Transitions are great, drums are great, its all fantastic. Really, this is an incredible song. My only criticism would be that the vocals at the beginning seem to drag on, so I would either shorten them or throw in background sounds to keep it interesting. Fantastic job all around

SkyMarshall responds:

Thanks man =) Glad you like it. I got to admit I rushed this in the end. This is why some parts of the song (as you point out) seem a little less polished and thought through than other parts might do. Had to get it out before vacation you see :) But I will do an edit of this later. So thanks again, loved the 10 and the review :) Cheers, mate!

[Pokemon Sinnoh Pokerap (FULL)]

Bad

Its cool that you made a new pokerap, but that doesn't mean it deserves this kind of attention. The music is incredbily simple and poorly made, its like bad 16 bit music. Your voice really isn't fitting for the part, as your voice is obnoxious to listen to as opposed to fun, on top of sounding rushed and forced. Really, this song sounds terrible, and its a shame that this made best of the week.

sonicmega responds:

It made best of the week because of the votes of those who saw it before the tallies were counted, so you have only yourself to blame for not "degrading" it if you are going to exclaim that. The music was not made by me, but I apologize for not choosing a better selection.

Lastly, I don't think it's a shame that it's featured, I just wish not so many people would waste reviews railing me for the fact that it is. Not meaning you, my good sir, but in general.

[Paradise on E (Karco Remix)]

awesome

Man, this is very well done. I really like the intro, very long but sounds great; its almost like a teaser, you really want to hear some massive buildup, and you just keep waiting for it as the main melody becomes louder. Throughout the rest of the song, the melody is incorporated very well, I especially like that breakbeat part at 6:00, and it sounds great when the drums come in at about 7:30. The end is also great, I love how it sounds as the parts die off. This is just incredbily well done all around, I have nothing to critique.
5/5 and 10/10

Karco responds:

Well, if you have nothing to critique, I have nothing to respond to. :D

Thanks for the review and the high ratings!

[Entrance Me (Original Mix)]

well done

for starters, grats on all the top 5's of the week. Haven't reviewed a song of yours in a while and haven't had a chance to say so

Anyways, the song. I really like one, probably my favorite of your stuff. As always, the synths sound fantastic; I think thats by far your strong point in your music, that no matter what the song is like, it always sounds fantastic. I especially like this song because of the various transitions you use, in previous songs I think the transitions haven't been as strong but I think they sound great here, I love how you used to the drums to build up to the driving trance parts. I also like the incorporation of rain, I think its a great way to build into the piece. My only criticism really is repetition, the song seems to be a bit drawn out; I would consider adding some background noises and synths, whether they be effects or little side melodies and such, to spice things up while the melody isn't playing to help reduce that repetitiveness. Other than that it sounds great, I expect I'll be seeing this on the top 5 in about a week

9/10 and 5/5. An incredibly well made song. Looking forward to more of your stuff.
If you could, give my new song, Air and Rain, a listen. I'm curious to see what you think of it, and it uses rain samples also :D

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Everyones into a rainy mood. Thanks for the review I'll have to give it a listen.

[Nav - Ecstasy]

nice

hehe love it. The melody is awesome, very well done HHC song. This is a really fun song to listen to, love all the synths and sounds you throw in. Some criticisms would be that the song becomes a bit repetitive, especially in the first half with the same melody being used over and over, and you might want to work a bit more on transitions, cause it's generally a new part just comes at the end of phrase with not much buildup, but thats mostly my taste. Nice job all around though, I enjoyed it

5/5 and 9/10
check out my new song, air and rain, if you get the chance :D

Nav responds:

Thanks, yeah... It got a bit boring, but I didn't feel like making more, so I left it as it is :P

I see about checking out your song, I'm usually busy, but I might be able to take some time out to at least vote, and possibly review.

[-ganon95- Thunderhorse]

hehe tight

Man, this has a really cool sound. Its well done overall, I like the bells and the piano base, sounds great. The melody is cool also, I think you could make the lead synth a little stronger but overall its well done. Its got a wierdly dark overtone, like it ought to be played in some church in an action movie, which is cool. Nice job all around, 5/5

Check out my new song Air and Rain if you get a chance :D

ganon95 responds:

lol i wish i could make it a little stronger but this is at the max and would create static and junk if turned up any more =[

[{Serenity}]

hehe cool

This is really neat. It's got a very unique sound, the synths you use really create the song. I especially like the ambiance, sounds great. The only problem I have with it really is that it doesn't seem to flow very well, it almost seems choppy in the way it transitions inbetween the 4 measure phrases. You could maybe solve this by having the ambiance fade out after each note instead of just ending, but maybe its just my tastes. I also really like the way the song comes down at the end. Well done all around, 5/5

dj-skeetskeet-69 responds:

yeah i see what you mean about the transitions. i usually do trance so the arrangement is pretty awkward here. thanks for the review!

[Winterbliss]

incredible

holy shit, just realized I haven't written a review for this.

This song is by far, my favorite song on NG, and thats saying quite a bit. The feel you create is awesome; the opening chords are absolutely beautiful, and all the synths you use create that winter feel. All the sounds that you throw in make it so cool, I've listened to this song hundreds and hundreds of times yet I still find more things that I never noticed before constantly. Every part is incredibly unique and it doesn't even come close to being repetitive. Its just perfect.

I could go on and on about this song; this is what motivated me to start making music, and my goal is to one day make something like this, with this level of complexity, variety, and feeling. Seriously, its hard to express how much I love this, and how that love hasn't diminished in 5 months of listening to it. Keep it up[

cycerin responds:

I'm so glad to hear that! Good luck to you, man. :D
