Epic 8-bit awesomeness, huh? This better be good, or you've set yourself for a right old fall :P

Beginning's nice, but then again, you can't really go wrong with the start of an 8bit unless you really try hard to; it's maintaining the interest and variety through an 8-bit that's the real challenge, because what you have to work with is quite few and far between. However, the opening works well.

Nice drums, they've got a simple but functional beat to them. Maybe could have done with being a touch louder, but that's not much of a problem. You had me worried that the high synth would be the melody until the real one came in at 0:16; pretty warm sound, the staccato at 0:22 works really well to keep it little more varied and so making it a little more interesting to loop, as you do. The synth at 0:32 comes in perhaps a little too quietly, it took me a second or two to register it was actually there. I like the idea of the harmony, though I think the harmony at 0:39-0:42 felt a little odd, harmonywise. however, that synth does keep up the variety enough for the track not to drag, so all's pretty much well there.

The highlight for me would probably be the break at 1:10. Was quite unexpected and perhaps a little too short, but it was really nicely done and added a nice extra tone right at the end. If anything, it could have come in earlier and been a more developed contrasting section, but here it functions as a pleasant surprise, which is also good.

What can I say, you lived up to your track's title. Given what you had to work with, you created something pretty cool, here.

Not bad

-It's six months out and only has seven reviews before me. It's sad how much activity goes on in the audio portal :/ well other than great works like this being created.

-You did wonders with only 8-bit sounds. You could really expand this if you had more to work with but lets face it, you aren't going to have tons of flashy things from something that was so limited.

-I loved how you mixed the melody up in certain places and made it layered with two paces. The transitions were good too without any noticable note breaks.

Nice layering.

I really like it when someone's capable of making something with a good melody, but ALSO knows how to support that melody with simple supports and applied rhythm technique. The compression on the bass drum was a little weird, but it helped tie the piece together so I can't knock it. I know a lot of european trance music specializes in that.

You know...

I've been considering going into 8 bit song production, my forte is classic, but being a megaman fan and a huge admirer of the songs therein, there has been a voice wanting me to do 8-bit, you're furthering that inspiration.

I think I may even download this.
Very well done.

meow, my back itches

Awesomeness is right

The title lived true to it's word cause i couldn't think of a better phrase to call this but "epic 8-bit awesomeness" cause all the sound effects were great and mixed together brilliantly plus the quality seemed perfect and i loved the fast pace it had,excellent work man. =)
