DKC2 - Brambles

"deliciously 90's"

submission: DKC2 - Brambles
date: April 15, 2009

I attempted this one, but you really got this down!
you captured the feel so nicely, the piano...everything.
I agree with gonaka, it's not screaming for attention, but seduces
those who pass like a cruel seductress! MUAHAHAA!!!
(ok that analogy is a bit dramatic) ^^"

Battle Above the Clouds[Surge]

"heroic"

date: September 6, 2008

Having remixed this one myself, I'm pretty critical. Not that mine was much diff from the original, but you've really upped the ante with this! Great interpretation, really brings out the vgm charms and builds up. I like the tamb ^^

lol I know, for a lot of songs I try to put the tambourine somewhere, unfortunately it's not always a good match >.<, luckily though this made it lol

I'm glad there's more ppl who liked this gaem's BGM lol, it seems a tad underrated

Thx!

Sonic 3| Special Stage| HMrmx

"you get the CHAOS EMERALD!"

date: September 6, 2008

You really captured the rushed panic of this one, loved the inclusion of the vibraslap! Great mastering there, lovely blend of instruments. You took some risks and it really paid off. FUNKY STUFF!

Sonic Advance: Angel Island

"INFECTIOUS! in a good way..."

date: September 6, 2008

I'm not really into power metal...but I'm sure as hell into THIS!
Man, you record those instruments live or is it all very cleverly done?
Such a massive sound with good contrast and control, you really lifted this above any expectations I would've had. You sir, are talented indeed!

Sonic 3 Ending

"E-P-I-C"

submission: Sonic 3 Ending
date: September 5, 2008

Love the dramatic feel of this, and I really dig the epicness of the piano ending! ( heart piano) I feel kinda unworthy to be recognised in this calibur of sonic shorts "credits" music, but it makes me appreciate the effort you and all the others put in to make it such a stellar team effort =)

sonic in moscow

"I salute you"

submission: sonic in moscow
date: September 5, 2008

To a fellow sonic 3 credits remixer! I love how the piano comes in, really a nice touch. The strings are so clean and smooth. Perfect feel. Yeah I remember liking "stranger in moscow" and thinking it was strangely similar to these credits. What a fun conspiracy theory! The credits are better tho IMO

[SD] DKC2 - Brambles Forever

"YES!"

date: July 22, 2008

You really hit this one! Wonderfully faithful but really builds on the original. I like how you tease out the intro for a while. I've done a remake to this but I like yours better! Diddy would be proud

[SD] Sonic 2 - Chemical Plant

"Tasteful!"

date: July 22, 2008

I'm giving this a 10 because its so classy. In a sea of obscure and sometimes horrible remixes of old sonic tunes, it's a refreshing change to see an actual remake that doesn't murder the original. Great blend of synthetic and realish instruments without being pretentious. Oh, the sax sounds pretty swell for a synth. Definately one of my fav's from s2, KUDOS! =)

Sonic 3 credits - reworking

"Does it justice"

date: July 22, 2008

This is one of my fav sonic tunes so I'm pretty picky about this one! But you really pulled it off and made it your own while maintaining the same essential feel.
I did a string quartet version of this, so I really appreciate the effort you went through! Very end credits-y =)

DKC2 -Stickerbrush Symphony

"good try but didn't quite hit it for me"

date: May 30, 2008

Good take on this, but I admit I am more harsh on others where I have done the same song! The timing in places seems off to me (ugh piano) and it just sounds a bit too much like a midi, not enough subtlety in my opinion. Though you captured the atmosphere pretty good with good strings.
