[DKC2 - Victory Dance [Demo]]

This is really fun

you should be proud of the Demo alone. I like it all around, altho one reccomendation jumps out at me right away. The melody that starts up at :48 feels like its starting a little too early in the song. Give it some more time before you intro that part and play the :27-40 part again before flowing into the latter melody. But what you have here is pure gold in a DKC2 goodness candy wrapper.

please PM me when you put the final up (or any updates) and I will gladly review and vote. But fornow I am gonnas vote nothing less than a 5, 10 and I'm gonna wait on the download JUST so I can download the final!

UnrealReno responds:

I will PM you m8! If I feel liek working on it more ^^

Thanks for the comment <3

[The Bramble Scramble]

I just put up a bramble remix! haha

yours is much better . . . >_< nice ambient flow with some electronic anticipation underneath the serene waters of this song. You nailed the song, keep up the VG ReMixing. You might even wanna run this over and run it by the guys at OC. They'll either accept it or tell you how to improve it. But like I said. I think you nailed this. I'm downloading this. 5/10/and a download

brkzeld responds:

I might just do that.... thanks! and look for my song to appear on OC!

[Deep in the Soul]

Ambient?

slow progression, but thats not always a bad thing. Make a song out of this. lose the hihat at the end. The strings are really beautiful tho.

OneWhoListens responds:

Thanks for the suggestions, and of course for the review!

[Midnight Club [Demo3]]

LOL to the below review

THIS IS SEXY! The intro improved SIGNIFICANTLY and I didn't even have a beef with it in the first place. I keep thinking I hear the SatanFM in this. Am I wrong? what is sequence do you use. the 2:00 melody is nice. NICE at 2:21! I almost thought "oh no,please don't tell me he ended the song and left a whole minute of dead time . . ." but you didn't. 5/10/dl

[Through the Plains]

very relaxing

It does sound like it would fit right in with Suikoden, or the map for FFVII. Cause for Lots of Love! Also wanna say it remnds me of an old anime I used to watch, but can't put my finger on it . . . Tenchi mebe?

anyways, there was only one part I had a beef with. At the :53 mark, there sounds like there is some dis-harmony in the instrument blending. Fix that and this piece is a 10. Still gonna vote 5 regardless the disharmony ^_' If you ever figure out and work out that problem and update this piece, lemme know

Cosmos8942 responds:

Ah, I know what you are talking about, that isn't so much disharmony as something that has to be in here. It allows for the song to have a touch of unperfectionistic value which any song needs. This allows it to sound good, but I will fix it nonetheless...hell, I am likely wrong anyhow.

Thanks for the review...

[DKC - Ice Cave]

Best ReMake EVER

This song follows the original to a T. The instrument choice, the tunage, its all the same. Its all soothing/relaxing/remeniscent of the good ol' ice levels and the added drum line is an enjoyable touch, but here is why I like your creation so much: It doesn't feel like the same song. There is something about your rendition that makes it feel sunny, happy, hopeful.

Immensely enjoyable. You should be proud of this. Really proud. The bass you brought in at :16 is hands down my favorite part through the entire song. I am gonna check out your other songs when I get the chance ^_'

This song is a 10 out of 10 and a 5 out of 5 as well as a must download for any donkey kong country fan

Thomas responds:

Thank you for such positive feedback.I really like the fact that you enjoyed this.

This was made before I discovered the time saving FPC plugin in FL Studio,too,so the drums were oddly placed in this song.

It's not until I listen to this song for the first time in a while that i notice that the snare for some reason completely drowns out the song.

Just because of your feedback,I may redo this song once more (3rd time) with all of my new discoveries.

Keep a watch for it.By the way,anything of mine dating 2008+ will probably be the more preferable things to listen to.

Thanks you,I am newly motivated.

[Cave Ambient]

You Got It! ^_'

I enjoyed this. You certainly got the feel you were aiming for. It reminded me of Kain Soul Reaver until (I think it was) the guitar came in. was slightly disapointed in that instrument choice at first, but the track developed and in the end, I can see why you used the guitar.

I would be interested to see what feel you could get by trying something other than the guitar . . . but whatever, its still really good ^_^ 9/10 and 5/5

[[Dance- Mix 4 g-R]]

Would work great in a videoGame

Only wish it was longer. hence the docked point. But the energy in this song is great, it has great transitions and a good choice of instruments that suit the overall feel of this song . . . even tho I am not quite sure what the mood would be, but :25 is my favorite part ^_^ thanks for pointing this out, add me to the list of ppl you notify when you put something up and I will gladly review every time ^_^

[[SD] DKC2 - Brambles Forever]

sweetly divine

Wonderfully ambient and relaxing. I actually was looking through your stuff on YouTube and found this. and . . . yeah, you need to submit this to OC if you havent already. It really is that excellent, and I can't think of a thing that could be added or subtracted to make this a better ReMix. 10/10, 5/5 and a dl
