Why, thanks alot! I'll get to work as soon as possible!

Btw,
...You should've wrote "Disclaimer" instead of "note". :P

[BBB (Mac13 8bit entry)]

Megaman musik?!

No, but the sound is very SNES like, I love it! I do like how you fray from you main melody, however you keep the same progression going I would have liked it more had it strayed from that at around 1:30. Another thing, this song sounds like a constant battle, maybe have something a little more relaxing, and move into this amazing song. (After all, this isn't theme music, there should be a larger depth to it. Other then that! Amazing. (I'm just glad you added the fade out unlike so many others.. lol JK.) Good luck with the contest!

Woolio1 responds:

Thank you, your review basically sums up the song.

[Test Subject B]

Awesome Song! I think I'll just write a backstory for you! XP

So the song is about a humanoid who was made to dominate over man, and despite his master's intent, disobeyed orders, and fought for his own humanity. After destroying his master's laboratory and disposing himself of his master, he used his given powers for the greater good of mankind, and made a name for himself. His name is Sigma, and he will bring a new age to us!

OpenLight responds:

That story fits this song pretty well haha. I'm glad you liked this track!

[DJ Theof - Above The Sky]

90bpm? Were you originally making this a really fast tune?
Well, overall it is not that bad, but why 90bpm, I can see this sounding much better at 120bpm. Just saying. The overall tune seems to drag at this rate. I mean it is a good song, but it takes too long to get to the bridge, and 6 minutes seems a bit long to be listening to this one progression you are using. In fact I was having trouble listening to the entire song. However. The song is pretty awesome, especially those overlaying melodies. And even though the chord progression is quite overused, you did it some justice!

(I used to play with this progression as a duet with friends where they would play the chords and then I'd just play an overlaying melody. Too bad I can't actually think of the song that uses this progression, however I can tell you that Louis's son from Super Man Returns, was playing a melody that goes to this progression, near the end of the movie on the boat.)

TastyTeo responds:

Thanks for the review! I wanted it 90 so it would last longer because that was my main target. I originally made this at 90bmp for a school project that lasts some time... I wanted to give a slow growth to the song, Supermaaaaaaaaaan :D anyway thanks again

[Ion Blaster]

Ah man! I love it! You should progress more with this tune. I keep expecting more!

ThePal responds:

We'll see. I have alot of other projects on the worktable right now, but it could really fit in some great quality Trance, I agree. :)

We'll see.

[LB - Midnight Dash]

I've been trying to get to your song to review it... but have not had much time. lol

Anyways, as said below, the song is quite repetitive. And I know what you are thinking about the VGM being repetitive by nature, as I once thought the same thing... but the more you get in depth with it the more you realize that is not the case... In fact in alot of ways, video game music follows the same pattern as most classical music. Have you ever taken the time to break apart the Super Mario Bros theme? (it has 3 patterns and a counter melody. And trust me you listen to that song, the one thing you don't think is "Repetitive")

Now, as far as the actual review goes... I do like the feel of this song, and so I feel that you get away from that melody overlay concept and followed the plot chart on this song, you might have something quite good that I know would rank high. At least in my books! XP
What I recommend you do is work on flow. You could flow from this melody into another melody, add some tension, and some climax... Let me just say! I would be simply amazed to hear something like that from you! Anyways, overall, 4/5. Good job!

LazyBucks responds:

Thanks for this really amazing review.

I'm gonna take everything you said on board and work on it all for my next song!
Thanks so much, its great when people take the time to write such nice and structured reviews! :D

[The Castle in the North]

I don't remember turning on my SNES! XP

This tune is really catchy, and I like the way you just flow into the next part of the song! Fantastic Transitions. My only complaint is the ending.... It didn't seem to give a sense of climax. For such a great song, that ending doesn't do it justice. Either way, great and catchy tune! Fantastic Work!

SuperBastard responds:

Thanks for the review! I appreciate the input, especially regarding the end. I suppose I'd been working on the track a little too long and couldn't really "hear" how I wanted it to go anymore, so I got frustrated and called it done.

Hearing it now though I feel like I should go back and really finish it. Thanks!

[Pixel Skies]

Not a bad start. However, there is tons of room for improvement. One thing I notice, is the entire concept of this song, is overlay after overlay on the same melody line, which is a very neat thing to do, in fact I like to do it sometimes too, and see it quite often in 8-bit tunes. What I recommend is adding a bit more flavor and variety to the piece. See everything is relatively playing at the same pace in here. Around 00:41, instead of that 2 beat progression, you could have upped the pace there... (There is your flavor for that progression). Once your progression hits its peak, what I recommend is a bridge of sorts, and refreshing the song by taking it a different route. For instance, choose a different progression to play on. Anyways, Overall, this is not a bad piece... However it feels unfinished, and definitely could use some polishing. Keep up the good work k!

omnicrown responds:

Thanks for the review. I'll take all that into consideration in future projects. this was my first attempt at 8-bit. :p

[The Cycle (Mac13)]

Simply Amazing!
I love the flow of the tune. The music in general makes me think of a mix between final fantasy and pokemon! Fantastic work, I mean I am left with nothing else to say but WOW!

Genclops responds:

So glad you enjoyed it! I hope others share your enthusiasm. Honored to be compared to two of my favorite composers as well :)

[Chippity cheap (Mac13)]

Oh, thought I reviewed all the submissions to the contest so far.. guess not.

Anyways, I like what you have done in this song. You start it out by a nice simple melody, and then later in the song it gets more complex and tense. And then about 2 minutes in you go for the resolve into the main melody again. Fantastic job!!!!

Jernemies responds:

Thanks for your time too. :) I liked it too how it turned out - that melody was originally a riff! It was so fitting to the plot chart and 8-bit sounds, couldn't resist that. Again, thanks for the time.
