[Spybreak! mix]

OoO epicepicepic

nice remix, man. the origional was only a 45-60 second loop, i asm impressed you were able to amke it this long and stil have it sound... good. i like it.

Haxo-JJ responds:

thanks a lot :) i really liked the theme so i tried hard to make it sound cool

[Xperion]

sweet!

this is real;y good! do you mind if i use this as a boss theme in a game i'm working on?

MashedByMachines responds:

Sure, go ahead :) be sure to tell me when its done so I can play your game :)

[Metroid - Brinstar Heat]

YOU wrote this?

on a second note, i liked the way the midi version i found on a site i won't mention for fear of advertizing. god.... i have had the midi version on my ipod for so long. to be honest, this one is nowhere near as good.

[Godzidra-Luigi's Mansion Remix]

only one thing this needs

and that, my freind, is an ECHO effect. once you hahve that it will be incredible.

[Godzidra - Kraid Remix]

trancends this _dimension_ in epicality

you took one of the top 20 best VG compositions in history, and did the 3rd best remix i have ever seen in my life...

you somehow managed to mix trance/techno instruments wioth the origional squeak flutes and choir hums and make it work. i <3 this.

downloaded.

[MH16: Racing The Sun]

right up to your usual standards.

nice. often when people make a song like this, they have something that isn't quite metal and isn't quite rock, so it comes out as either a bleating rock or weak metal. you nailed general rock, even using guitar harmonics as the main instrument, which is a balance i have NEVER seen before in my life. epic props.

to be honest, a few of your other recent entries were really not up to your usual standards. this song, while it doesn't make your top 5, is as good as i expect. so i am

i feel like this hasn't been a very helpful reveiw. i honestly can't see anywhere this song needs improving. the drumbeat, guitars, and subtle.... either violin or dist/overdrive guitar in the back all work together.

......and is it just me, or did you actually take my advice and add slight noise to the drums to make them sound more real? becasue those drums sound much less synthed than anything else you have done. that would honestly be the first time anyone has ever listened to me on something like this.

...i love this song. i am so downloading this.

FairSquare responds:

Well, your review IS helpful, but in an other way.
Reviews like this are really nice to get and boost my selfconfidence a bit :P
Thanks for the review man, i appreciate it alot :-)

[Bowser theme METAL]

i like it but i think... ewll read the review.

i liked it, but i personally would have made it a bit different.

i like what you did with the guitar. but i think if you made a bass playing the same exact notes an octave lower, it would be a little better.

all in all i love it but it doesn't seem so much a fremix as much as a COVER.

.....my reviews tend to be more geared towards helping improve the song than rate it... oh well.

[Metroid 3 - Brinstar]

freakin' orga**ic

i LOVE THIS REMIX. zomg. god i sound like a teenage girl. but you took one of my favorite songs from my favorite game, and made it better. even if i had never hear the origional i would have lov3d this. epic props.

[Super Metroid - Brinstar Green]

good.

i remember this tune, and i love what you have done with it. however, i think that this doesn't really fit the plant sector it origionates from. definitley a kraid's sector (mtroid 1 or zero) theme more.

i think you should have left in the tube bells too,but that's justg me. good work!

[Music Can Change The World]

niiiiiiiice. but your voice it a bit cracked.

do i have permission to re-record this song, me singing over? because that would be so cool.... i'd send you a link. anyway i won't do it if you say i can't. but i would love to do that.

anyway, if this is your first vocal peice my advice is to stick to it. was this all one take by the way? i mean did you sing from the begining to end? because when i record mysdelf or others singing, i do each verse seperatley. it prevents you from running out of breath like i think you did about 2 mins in. just a suggustion.

i'll be blunt, you aren't the best singer ever. but this somehow works perfectly. this song is SOOO on my ipod. already.

the lyrics are poetry, the entire thing is beautiful. i love it. and here i thought you were just amazing at techno. :)

FairSquare responds:

Lol, i didn't sing this, Yomismo did that.
And you have permission to re-sing it if you think you can do it better ;-)
Oh, and about techno... techno is actually one of my weaker genres, Classical music is my best (i think)
And if you want to have the instrumental version of this, just look at my song ''Music Is Power''.
Thanks for the review man!
