"meh :\"

submission: Sonic 3~Azure City [orchestra]

date: July 13, 2008

Too many instruments, some of which aren't that harmonious. I don't really feel the Spirit of Sonic in this submission. Maybe if the tempo were faster, and a few of the superflous sounds were taken away.

Score: 8

"Smex"

submission: .:( Orion's Belt ):.

date: July 11, 2008

Kinda like John Williams if he wrote video game music.

Score: 6

"needs better piano"

submission: Lost in a Lullaby (remastered)

date: May 22, 2008

The lower piano keys sounded as though they were being slammed. INstead of the technoey thing coming in around mid-song(dunno what you call it), you should use some chimes or bells instead.

Score: 6

"Ouch"

submission: Zero Met Bowser

date: May 22, 2008

I didn't like the tempo, regardless of whether or not it was made to match the original. Some bells or something soft would offset the hard techno nicely.

Score: 8

"neat..."

submission: Rush Hour In Thai

date: May 22, 2008

Very original yet traditional. Something not overly common on NG.

Score: 10

"Amazing"

submission: Through the Fire&Flames(Piano)

date: May 22, 2008

Wow, seven minutes and hardly any repetition. I didn't like the whiny part around 1:15. I liked how it crescendo'd at 3:45, that was really nice. My only other complaint is that the instruments don't change much. The piano and keyboard were present throughout the song, although a few kicked in here and there.
As Far as video game remixes go, this is the best, not to trancey or metal, and it is presented in a way that isn't a simple clone of the originsl.

Score: 7

"strange"

submission: Memories 2 [prev] - F-777

date: May 22, 2008

its kind of a slow song, but with a lot of instruments.

Score: 8

"Clever"

submission: Stand and Bleed

date: May 22, 2008

This reminds me of a couple things. The first is Sonic The Hedgehog. The second I forgot what you call it, but its when you use a bunch of random junk to make sound effects. I don't recognize half the instruments, but its klnd of an interesting arrangement, like caviar and chili.

Score: 8

"???"

submission: Solus- For Schala Remastered

date: May 19, 2008

Wait, was Schala in Chrono Trigger? The song is a bit long and slow, something that would make good ambient music.

Score: 8

"diverse"

submission: Scarlet Starlight

date: May 9, 2008

It seems to switch from piano to xylophone around 1:10. I like how you fade other instruments in and out, making it less redundant than most ambient/trance songs.
