[Streets of Rage - Round 3]

A 'bare-knuckle' dance party...

Yuzo Koshiro always was the master of bringing a little house sound to the Genesis musical world, and this track shows it off pretty well. A very solid version of a classic track. It's nice to see someone remixing a different track other than the first stage. I like it a lot, but I will have to say it isn't a far cry different than the original, other than not being 16-bit-sounding. It's still very good, though, and I won't hold that against you.

I also have a few questions: what programs did you use to make it? I always ask that question in my reviews, but I'm always curious. I'm going to take a wild guess - FL Studio? Also, how long did it take to make it? I'd really appreciate it you could answer at least one of these questions.

Overall, it was a very solid remix of a classic, very catchy song. It was a little unoriginal in instrument selection, but I can't fault you, since how can I complain about such a great song? Keep up the good work, but just be a little more 'out-of-the-box.' Also, it's great to see someone else who adores the first Streets of Rage. Genesis for life!

I'll give you a 9/10, but I will give you a 5/5 since it's such a classic song.

Lata.

[SA2: GUN Mech 8-Bit]

Hmm...Finally decided to show up, eh?

Unlike the other reviewers, I like 8-bit music, and I'm a die-hard Sonic fan. Really killer version, man. What did you use to make this? Keep up the good work. The only thing I can think to tweak would be the bass - it's completely loud and flashy in the real song, so I think you need to turn it up a little more. Other than that, real good job, Charem. 10/10, 5/5. - EC

[Morning Sun (not the only)]

Yes... Yes...

Awesome version, man. At first when I heard the vocoder in the verses, I wasn't very impressed at all. But when it kicked into the chorus, it sounds absolutely killer. Great version (and lyrics!) of an already beautiful song in an incredible, masterpiece of a game. Quick question: what programs did you use to make it? Love it, man. 10/10, 5/5.

Oh, and killer synth solo!

Thanks Dude!!! Yeah, all done in Reason 3.0 ... totally working on a new version as we speak for OCReMix... it'll sound better... I'm re-recording all the vox and everything! Thanks again dude... glad you like it!!! :D

[My Cool Song]

Hmph.

The chord progression is rather simple, and it's made of rather random samples in really no time signature. It's not terrible, and like Randomguy78 said, you had a wide variety of sounds - it just needs more direction. Keep writing, and keep practicing with FL Studio - it's the only way any person gets better. I'll give it a 5/10, and a 2/5. - EC

[Video Game Backround Music]

Ah...my ears...

Jeez, this song kills my ears. Not only does it cause actual pain, it has no tone or melody whatsoever. There's even a bunch of clicking noises underneath. Really, really, really bad, man. I have no idea if this is serious or just a joke - I really can't tell. 0/10, 0/5. Really, dude, it fucking sucks. - EC

[The Main Menu]

Very emotional

With the water drips, ocean tide, and very soft piano, the whole song becomes very beautiful and moving. The piano is simple, but really pretty. It definitely has an Uematsu quality: simple enough, without sacrificing beauty or melody. I just really, really like this song. Keep up the good work, Kirito.

Kirito responds:

Thanks for the feedback ^^ I'll try continue producing more works for you all to enjoy!

[Hare Hare Yukai (C64 remix)]

Nazonazo ...

This is like the perfect 8-bit (err...C64) remix of Hare Hare Yukai. As my all-time favorite closing anime song (and just one of my all-time favorite songs), this version is pretty stellar. Since I'm a huge fan of 8- and 16-bit music, it doesn't get much better than this, for me, at least. My only complaint is the drums can get a little "squishy" sounding, and I end up focusing on that more than the rest of the song. But other than that, it was expertly crafted. Very good job, Pixl. You're a very talented man, and thank you for creating such a masterful remix of an incredible song. 10/10, 5/5. And, "You love big dreams, right?" - EC

[KKS - Palm Brinks [cover]]

This is... Nice...

I've always adored Dark Cloud 2; it's such an unappreciated gem of a game. It's so great that someone knows the awesome music of Dark Cloud 2. Very nice, although it doesn't sound worlds different from the original. I guess there's more accordion and a light mandolin sound underneath. Still, great, great song. 10/10, 5/5. - EC
