Reusing Drums?
The track sounded different from most of the other pieces I've heard by you except for the most important part, the drums. They sounded like you reused them from The Source. If you didn't they sounded very alike. Though I really liked the piece, you should've made the drums a little bit more original. Nice work.

I actually use the same 4 or 5 different sets of drum instruments for the majority of my music, normally disguise them well with FX but I left them "untainted" for this song ^^;
Amazing!
I heard this on the G9 Podcast, and I thought "I MUST DOWNLOAD THIS!" Seriously, I'm loving this piece. It's fantastic! No criticism from me. It's just too good. ;)

I must say...
That different headphones can change everything. When I listened to this the other day, I thought it was crap, and I had a pair of $3 headphones, but now, with my $40 pair, I can hear all the effects and stuff of the song, and it sounds pretty good now.
It loops nicely, and that's a good thing. Maybe you'll get lucky and a flash artist will use this.
It's definetely a very awkward piece. Other than what's said above, I've already told you what I think on MSN, so I won't bother resaying it.

Thanks, I actually tryed adding strings, another bass, changing the main instruments around, many other drum kit combinations, other electric guitars, making the song longer/shorter, speeding it up and down; but this was the version that I liked the most, and you still said it was crap XD, that's why I thought it was phailure.
Thanks for telling me it isn't =), for the help, and for the review!
Uplifting
This piece was wonder! I loved the what you did with this. The only thing I could suggest is maybe use some low brass instruments to fill up the bottom part. Other than that I don't have much to say.
5/5

hmm, to be honest I did have some brass in the background, but I guess I forgot about it while working on the other parts of it, and then I either turned it off, because I didn't remember what purpose it served, or simply never turned it up enough to make a difference.
I'm glad you found it entertaining ^^. Thanks for the review.
Sweet
This was quite a nice soothing piece, very cheerful. It was kinda repatitious though. Also, if this was supposed to be a loop, it was a very good one.
Though you are a great artist, I felt slightly dissapointed by this. Whenever I see a song by you, I expect to be fantastic, so this was kinda a let down, seeing as it was only great. There are other works of yours that are much better than this.
It was an interesting piece, and would seem to fit the game quite well, so a 4/5 from me.
~ DSM
I am glad you enjoyed it, I can understand why you may feel this song is not to par with my other pieces. The truth is, the game requires semi ambiant overworld themes, and I think I was pushing the limits with this piece by itself.
Well i'm glad you enjoyed it ^^. Thank you for the review.
The Good and The Bad
This isn't a piece I would enjoy, mostly because I'm a DNB Maniac. I guess I'll break the song down.
- GOOD -
Drums were pretty nice, but could've been a little better. Instead of using a whole bunch of claps, maybe you could've used snares and rimshots.
- BAD -
The song was too empty. It could've used a large bottom bass to fill it up. You probably could've added a few deep synths too.
The song was kinda bland and repetitive. You should've mixed it up a little more.
Overall, was an okay piece. Maybe you'll have something better next time.
~ DSM
thank you! I know what you mean...I was sort of going for something a bit more standard and repetative, but maybe it was a bit much...hmmm, thanks for the help, I'm going to get started on something else now :)
Hmmmmm...
This sounds like very little editing was done. The only thing that sounds original are the drums and the breaks in the middle, which are annoying. For a first this is pretty good, but you should do more work on this. Change it up more.
I have also played the game. It's pretty awesome.
~ DSM
...Thanks, dude !Yes, I know the break is annoying but my magnetophone only records during 60 seconds ! If I want to make it longer, I'll have to copy and past or to record again at the end of that song ! Howerver, I think it's wrong to find the drums annoying...I guess you're saying that because nothing cannot beat the original...that's all for now ! Thanks for the 7/10 ! And thanks for giving me those advice !
Tiring
This is really good, and the name fits the song perfectly. It gets kinda repetative after a while, mostly the bells.
Come check out some of my stuff.
~ DSM
Thanks!
The repetitiveness of the bells (rhodes) is of course intended, but I realize it's not for everyone :)
I'll check your stuff tomorrow, some sleep for now.
Needs More Bass
It was a great redo of the song, but it could use a lot more bass. You should also balance out the instruments more because at some points a few parts couldn't be heard at all and popped in lightly every now and then giving it a bad sound. I did like it though.
Check out some of my music.
~ DSM
I see your point, well you know I always try to improve so I will try to add more bass and try to make everything sound right. Thanks for the review.
Ugh...
I hate this song. This is possibly one of the worst Zelda Songs ever. It's creepy and annoying, and made me hate the Forest Temple. But your remix was quite good. You captured the effects of the song quite nicely, giving it the feel of the original. Not too much to say on this one besides pick a better song next time.

Already have I souppose lol! Some people dislike this one and other like it. Any ways, thanks for reviewing! :D
