[Welcome to Shion Town]

Nice, and trippy.

Hey, nice work! I feel bad you didn't get much viewers so far, because that makes people want to quit when they've got such great talent. And this is the work of someone with great talent. Everything just flows, and you don't find many good Lavender Town remixes. I can't say for sure your style. Do you want to be some kind of trippy creeper artist? Hmm....

Anyway, nice job. You must have added a whole lot of special effects to miraculously make a file 3 minutes long almost 8 MB.

PurpullHayze622 responds:

That means a lot, thank you. I'm still a novice, so hearing someone complimenting my work gives me reason to keep trying.

[-:YRX:- PowerfullPieceMAC10]

Pretty amazing.

It's really good. Wasting the potential on a silly little ringtone is a no-no. This is too epic to be something informing you your mom will be yelling at you in 3 seconds. No, this is pretty dang awesome. Everything flows, and as intended, it was a compact loop. I know you made it 5 months previously, but it is really above and beyond.

YouriX responds:

thank you for the kind words. Yeah maybe i'll make a better extended version ;)

[The Sapling]

Pretty darn trippy, but awesome.

I loved it, and the jack-in-the-box made me feel like I was being totally watched. I turned around and saw my brother dancing to the music. Yay for 8-bit instruments! I agree with OpenLight, you make a way to put 3 tunes and give them the same feel, like you did with Expedition to Mount Revenant. You must be desperate, or a tree-hugger, if you went all that way.

RetromanOMG responds:

Oh, it's nothing about tree-hugging, Drew. As I made the songs, I made them transition between the way they felt. Expedition is imposing and slightly sad, while Caves is dark and brooding, and Sapling is lighter and hopeful. That said, what's more hope-inspiring than some plant growing uninterrupted on the peak of some cold, dead mountain?

Thanks for the review, it's always nice to get people's feelings on my songs.

[PianoFrenzy - OL]

A calming piece.

I especially liked the base line. When it changed at 0:50, I thought it was a little weird, but it quickly settled into the song. The parts didn't really flow well, but you made up for that with how catchy it is. You might want to make the base instruments a little louder. Great.

I'm gonna have to get louder speakers!

OpenLight responds:

Haha, thanks. This was a little hard to do because I've never made anything piano based that wasn't almost entirely piano before.

Hey, if you have time, haha, you should DEFINITELY submit something to my contest. I need someone who can do an awesome solo.

[river flows in you(PF Contest)]

Great trance piano. 4/5

It's really good. It flows, which is very important in trance. However, considering the 2-minute limit (I know that's really pissing off a lot of people) the climax ended too soon. I had to turn my speakers up, which isn't a real problem, but maybe you should adjust that. All in all, a great piece. :P one of your best.

DjClyme responds:

lol thx :) i hope to eventually completely remake this.

[Alive!]

Do you know Retroman?

Great music. Smooth, just the right length, and everything. But my friend RetromanOMG is entering this too; in fact, he just posted his submission a few minutes ago. Any chance you know him?

jpbear responds:

ive seen him in the forums before, and i dont really get what your tryin to say lol, everyone involved in the contest submits a song not just one person. :P

thanks for the review bud!

[8-Bit Apples]

Not great.

My first negative review of yours, I'm sad to say. You only used 1 real 8-bit instrument, and that one peaceful sounding melody + all of the hardcore drums is not a very good combination. The melody is great, though. The transaction was smooth, too.

I first clicked on this, looking for new songs on Newgrounds me and Open can remix, and then I saw the word 8-bit. I clicked on it, and listened for a little while, and decided to check out more of this guy's stuff.
Then I saw your name.

Well, you may want to make a new song, because this is good, but might not cut it for the RUNAGDM contest.

RetromanOMG responds:

If it turns out that this submission doesn't make it, then that's alright. All music is hit and miss, and considering who I'm up against, I can't really be mad if I lose.

I'm afraid I have neither the time nor the ideas to make a new submission, so I guess that's the way it'll have to be.

[8-Bit The Race V2 (DJ Pre]

Oh, how I love 8-it music.

First of all, what a stroke of luck that my only real NG friend reviewed the song that I'm about to!
Well, I really love how everything really was pulled together, and all of those 8-bit instruments are so awesome. Perfect transaction! I may remix a song, too! Keep up the great work, jumping cat dude.

PainasaurusRex responds:

Haha, thanks, it's nice to see that people actually enjoy my music. And as I said to the person below me, you better tell me if you remix my music so I can listen to it.

[Walk and Seek]

You are absolutely right.

I did the math, played some music in my head, and you are right- there is no way to end this song. This is some great stuff, and even though your songs are long (I still can't get over it compared to mine), you've managed to keep the listener interested. The tune is perfect, and the chords are, too. I want to ask a big favor from you- can I put this in my RPGVX game?

P.S. If you don't know what RPGVX is, google it.

OpenLight responds:

Haha, I actually tried to use RPGVX a little while back but I didn't have the time. And yes, I'd be grateful in fact if you would!

I get a lot of my inspiration from bands who make longer songs, so that's why mine are getting longer and longer it seems. (These bands would be Rush, Dream Theater, etc., though I am no where near as good and my style isn't too similar, haha.) I'm glad to know I've succeeded in keeping the listener's interest, though! That's all I've ever wanted to do, and being rated well is just a great latent function.

PLEASE let me know whenever you release a beta, alpha, or even -alpha crap build of your game! It's bound to be awesome, and, since I've always had a passion for game production and programming, I can't wait to see it.

[That Stupid Toaster]

Had A Hard Time

I had a very hard time listening to the whole song. I don't think you realize this, but the NAME OF THE SONG IS VERY IMPORTANT. "That Toaster" isn't the greatest name in the world.

On to the song. It's good. Decent, everything was moderate. You might want to make the transition shorter, and more smooth. It was a little too long to my likings. I love the way everything was placed. The tune isn't great (it's not your fault, most aren't) but you made it sound extraordinary and professional. Nice work!

OpenLight responds:

I uploaded this spontaneously. I didn't care to even put the real version up, haha. This is the "mixed up" version that I sent to people. I have the real version in FL Studio and I'm still working with it. I was just hoping to get some helpful criticism to assist me in working with it. Unfortunately, so far all of the comments are about the random name I used instead of putting "WIP."

Ha, anyway, I'll let you know once I do something else with the real song.
