Now this is epic. Amazing. Brilliant. Superb. Excellent. Great. Awesome. Too good for words. This song deserves to be worshipped. 4 minutes of pure genius. Another song that deserves to be front paged. Ultimate awesomeness. Alright, that's all I can think of, so, enough praise. Now, the critism -.-
It's very catchy, and the drums were extremely well varied and really good. The bass needed to be varied a little, but it was decent and pretty catchy. Choir voices were great and really cool, and so was the piano part at 1:34. A little repetitive, but was catchy enough to be repeated 8 times :P. Buildups in this song were great, and good job in the synths. Great effects too. The ending was pretty strange, though. Cymbals fading away by themselves don't fit in right for an ending. You should add a final loud note at the end and then the cymbals start fading. Anyway, it looks like you worked quite hard on this, since it's very hard to make 4 minutes and 15 seconds that awesome. It's an epic song, keep it up! :)

I'm still a newbie at bass, so I have things to work on there :P I only used the piano part once to prevent it from getting repetative, but it might have worked better with more variation. There *was* a note at the end, but maybe I should have made it louder or just taken the cymbal off...

Cool :)

Good job with the percussion, and the gutar was really cool. The melody was really cool, and the instruments chosen were pretty cool. They just didn't fit in with the name. Well, the guitar did, but when the electric instruments came in, it didn't really fit in with the distant feel that this song is supposed to have. at 1:16, when that high-pitched instrument came in, it was a little annoying and way too high pitched. I still liked the melody of it, and if it was a little lower pitched with the same melody, it would be great. The ending was slightly strange, but all in all it was a good song. Well, since it seems to be your second submission to NG, I'm really impressed, so I'll give you:

Thanks for your review, i really couldnt think of a name so i though distant islands was good, and its too high pitched? hmm, well ill have a look at that and see what others think! I'll change it around a bit and see how it goes, im actually gonna put up a work in progress thing on this!

Thanks again!

Amazing

Definitely one of the best you've made, fits in perfectly. I imagine myself crossing the mountains and falling off after a few steps. This piece is out of this world! 1:26 onwards was really cool. I agree with Oso, the strings started up the song really nicely, and the trumpet was realy cool. You should add a piano to it, but it rocks anyway. The ending was a little too abrupt, but everything else abruptly left me begging for more. This song slightly reminds me of the 'Battlerock' theme in Super Mario Galaxy, except catchier, and more awesome. I was thinking, maybe you make some sort of chase theme next. Ahh well, just a thought :).

Thanks a lot! Glad that the strings made an effect, i wasn't sure if i'd put them there or not. Anyway, Thanks for the ten and the five.

Really good

I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of might and the different instruments in it harmonize perfectly. It fits in very well with the name, and all in all, it's amazing. I liked how you changed the melody into different pitches througout the song. The introduction coud've used maybe a piano, but it rocks. Very catchy -- all in all, keep up the great work! :).

Thanks man! Hope you enjoy the rest! Thanks for the suggestions, i'll be sure to use them!

You, my friend, are an 8-bit MASTER

Very good job on this. The percussion was a little too simple, but the loop itself was perfect. It looped nicely, but you should try and think of a different name. Sorry I couldn't think of a suggestion, I'm hopeless at inventing 8-bit names. Still, good job, keep it up, can't wait to see your next 8-bit submissions!

oh, thx)

Great job!

No honestly, this is really good. Awesome job with the piano and the bells were great. The percussion was a little simple. You seem to use FL Studio if I'm hearing right, lol. Anyway, it looped properly, and I really liked it. The name could use a little work, though, but apart from that, the song was great. You should add more instruments, but as it is, it's great. Good job, keep it up.

FairSquare responds:

Well, this isn't really a serious submission so i used the standard FL samples for the percussion :P
And about the name... do you have any suggestions? :P I couldn't really think of a name myself.
Thanks for the review! :-)

Some parts are strange, but really good anyway.

I liked the reverse cymbal, and the drums were awesome. The effects were really cool as well, and the bass rocked. It was still pretty strange in some parts, for example: 0:23, and then after, the song went sort of calm, which didn't really fit in with the feel of the song. At 0:41, it was pretty strange too, and didn't fit in with the rythm of the song. Still, apart from those queer parts, it's a really cool song. And if it's your second submission, I'm really impressed. Good job!

Nothing too special...

The beeping instrument was a little annoying, and the percussion was just kicks and claps. The background instrument fit in very well though, and it loops perfectly. You should try and make it longer, but still, not too bad as it is.

Thanks for the review!

WOW, amazing!!

Man, you rock. There are very few classical songs which I enjoy, but this was awesome. The instruments had a very good quality, and it fit the story completely. I'd suggest adding sound effects of birds churping in the first part, rocks falling in the beginning of the second part and wind soaring by at the beginning of the third part, but this song is great anyway. Good job with the tempo change, and the ending was amazing. Not many songs on NG finish that greatly. You really rock, I can't believe this musical masterpiece took you only one day. This really cool, keep it up!!

Bas3008 responds:

Thanks man :D Adding a few sound effects is a nice idea, I'll look for some suitable effects and add them :)

Awesome!

A lot of fullness in it, and somehow you managed to fit the name perfectly with the song. The main melody is very catchy, and awesome. The percussion and bass were quite repetitve, but still very awesome. Very good effects, and in all very good song. The ending was quite bad, it ending way too suddenly, and there watoo much silence after. Still, awesome job on it, I really enjoyed it.
