"Chill!"

submission: Sebby64 - Ethnic Chill

date: August 1, 2008

This had me bobbing my head - very cool instrumentation, and I thought the square leads were used very tastefully. Definitely my favorite part was the bent-note breakdown around 2:14.. that was pretty funky.

Total jam - I'll be throwing this one on my ipod for sure!

Score: 9

"Been a while"

Loved this groove, Cheese. The breakdown around 1:05 was well done and the reapeating keys were tasteful and kept it interesting.

An all-around good listen!

Score: 9

"Great instrumentation"

The piece was very well-arranged, and the instruments sound fantastic! Can you tell me what program you're using?

Score: 10

"Blown away"

submission: Average Terminal

date: April 21, 2008

Wow.. loved the lyrics, and the tune was well-played and catchy - you really get pop music. The harmonies in the chorus were masterfully done, the bridge was seamless and tasteful. The instrumentation didn't hog the spotlight over the vocals. The chorus will be going through my head all day! 10/10.

Score: 9

"Wow"

submission: Sebby64 - Beware of the Bass

date: March 10, 2008

I was just passing through your stuff when I came across this. Great use of instrumentation! You really had good sound control here, and the beat was straight-up newgrounds techno bluesy. Loved it!

Score: 8

"Hahaha"

submission: Sora's Jam

date: March 4, 2008

Very entertaining. I think you'd get more hits if you used its proper name (using 'Saria', which I think is what you meant).

Very mellow and still true to the original melody. Great job!

Score: 10

"Fantastic"

submission: Dire Love (S. Mario 64)

date: March 4, 2008

Hey, if you arranged and played this yourself, bravo!

It's a very well-written song to begin with, and the pads in the background were very tasteful. Well-played, well-arranged and a great choice of song and instrumentation.

I thought it was excellent - no criticisms! Keep doing your thing, man.

Score: 8

"Relaxing"

submission: Jared's Final Fantasy Prelude

date: March 3, 2008

It reminded me of original FF stuff. Thanks for sharing this, and keep it up!

Score: 9

"This is a jam."

submission: Sebby64 - Guitar Symphony

date: February 27, 2008

Well, while I have to agree with some of the other reviewers that the mix isn't exactly perfect, in the case of this piece that's not really what I care about.

The instruments were well chosen and the chord pattern was funky. I can honestly say that I wish I'd written and arranged this! The guitar had a great sound - you really pulled this song off well. Awesome job!

Score: 9

"Spicy, yes!"

submission: Sambal Ulek

I'm not a big rap fan, but rap vocals were the first thing that came to mind for me. I hope you take that for a compliment (it is)!
Glorious track, but I see more possibilities with it too. Some hollow body ES350-sounding guitar hitting pentatonics over the top would sound great. It would be a Santana kind of sound.

The horns were brilliant! Would you mind sharing how you got that sound? It was absolutely McCartney.
