[Blue Oasis]

Something's wrong. This wasn't in the top 5 :S...

Oh wow, this is amazing. Such a catchy tune, and the synths are too good to be true. Liked the piano at the beginning. Did you make that with Sytrus too? I also liked 0:54 onwards, and the buildup for it to get more energetic was very professionally done. Drums were very good as well, and built up very well too. The ending was pretty cool too. I suggest adding some sound effects of gentle waves in the background or something to give out the image of an oasis. Still, the song rocks altogether. I guess looking through your old songs really payed off. Keep up the awesome work! I still wonder why you never got a top 5 before...

Still no top 5 :C I don't have enough fanboys to whore my songs out :P The piano was FL keys, like in all my old songs.

[Good Egg Galaxy - 8bit]

That is awesome!

Man, you sure gotta love Super Mario Galaxy. Good Egg Galaxy is one of my favourites in the game, and this remix is excellent. You sure know your way around 8-bit. Loved how you changed the song in some parts to make it less repetitive, for example the scales at 0:32 and the rest of the song. I agree with NKAT, they are a little strange, but if maybe a little lower and with a different 8-bit instrument they'd sound better. Some simple 8-bit drums could do a good job in a few parts of the song, though. It still is amazing as it is. You chose a good song to make a remix of, and you performed it really well, and even though 8-bit isn't my type, this song left me impressed. Keep up the awesome work :).

Wow, thanks!

[~BH~ Unnamed Project]

Even your 2 year old songs rock.

This song is really cool. Very catchy melody, and good harmonizing of instruments. Very good and varied drums too. The whole melody was really well varied too, and the ending wasn't bad, either. I liked the buildup at the beginning. I wish there was a piano part in this song, your piano tunes are always catchy :P, but it's awesome anyway. Keep up the great work! XD.

The lack of a piano, as I recall, was deliberate for this style.

Thanks for the review :D

[Acid Rebound]

Pretty good.

Not such a bad song Good choice of acid instruments. They fit with the name very well. The drums were a little repetitive and annoying though. The snare was way too loud and even the kick was slightly on the noisy side, and the cymbal, IMO, was a little too soft. The melodies are all pretty good as well. Wished they wouldn't repeat themselves so much, especially the first one [(0:06) - (0:45)], and also the transitions felt a little random. For example, when the first melody stopped at 0:45, it ended pretty suddenly with that cymbal. Even the second one ended so suddenly like that. The ending wasn't bad, though, and some melodies were pretty catchy, so all in all, a cool song. Just a little messed up percussion and repetitiveness, but everything else was just fine. ^^

[Endeavour - Crescent Moon]

Wow!

Loved it. It's an amazing melody which is varied throughout the song very well, and the instruments used are very good. Liked the buildup a lot, and the drums were really good. Bass could've varied a little more, but it wasn't bad. The song in all fits perfectly with the name, and rocks at the same time. The ending was very good too. Overall, a very catchy song, keep up the great work XD.

Endeavour ^^

[Distant dreamz.mp3]

Awesome XD

This song rocks. I heard it like 15 times before daring to review a song with this amazingness. It's very catchy, and the instruments chosen couldn't have been better. Drums were varied, and fit in perfectly. I liked the part at 2:07, just maybe to high-pitched or hard-tuned, but the notes were perfect. Ending was very professional and well done, and the song in all fit with the name really well. Good buldup at the beginning, god-like instruments, amazing drums, very catchy tune, excellent ending, so what can I say, outstanding song! Keep up the great work - when it comes to songs, you are THE expert. Awesome job!

[-AeF- Empathy]

Not bad =)

Not such a bad song. The structure was a little messed up, though. For example, the main melody lasted too long at the beginning. It might sound better if you stopped the melody at 0:27 instead of continuing it to 0:34. The instrument that came in at 0:05 fit very well with the song. I noticed some notes a little off, in my opinion, like at 0:39 to 0:40, which didn't really fit with the melody that started at 0:34. Also, it felt a little random in general. The main melody took too long to come back in again - try and move it to earlier stages in the song. The drums need some fixing, too. They were pretty simple. The faded ending wasn't that bad, though, and many parts in the song were very catchy. The choice of instruments was excellent, and it's a pretty good song in all. Sorry for the long review and keep up the good work :).

Thanks for the review! Ill try to fix some of that whenever i find the time :)

[~BH~ Summer Breeze]

Wow

Your songs just get better and better, and this is proof. All the instruments were chosen correctly to fit in with the name, and the percussion flowed very well with the feel of the song. Piano made it feel a little medievalish though, like cleavethedragon said, but who cares. Medieval rocks when you make it :P. Some sound effects would be cool, like a sound of a breeze taking over some transitions in the song. As for the instruments, apart from the piano being medievalish, the flute had great notes, and the strings gave a nice touch to the song. Ending was a little off. Try ending it with some slow flute and strings or something. Anyway, all in all, the song rocks, keep it up :).
Darn, I still can't find a song of yours which I won't give 5/5 in :(.

Another 5/5 review, darn :P

I like the ending, I don't know why everyone else doesn't...

Thanks 8D

[XS - Just One Thought]

Really cool!

This piece is extraordinary. Fits the name perfectly, and that piano is amazing. With just 2 main instruments and some drums, you made an awesome song such as this. Very good percussion, really well varied and very well done. It loops as well, which is awesome. This is what I call a song. You really rock, keep up the awesome work.

Ahh thank you so much. Comments like this really do cheer me up and make my song go from "just another thought" to being worth something =P cheesy I know

Thanks

["An Aspect Of Dance" -Akopa]

You really made it better since the WIP :)

This rocked. I really like the bass, great job. Still kind of repetitive, though. The melody was really catchy anyway, you managed to stick it in my head =\. I liked your use of the reverse cymbal and the snare, too. The main drum beat was really cool too, and very well done. The ending was still too sudden though. If you added a buildup before it and then ended it with the same ending or something like that, it could sound better. I still enjoyed the song a lot. Good name, good melody, good instruments, good drums, what can I say, great song :]. Keep up the awesome work; and sorry for the long review XD.
