I'm waiting for the song... come on... 1:45 THERE IT IS. Christ that opening dragged on. I mean, come on, it was half the song! It reminds me of my Most Annoying
Song Ever (Chronamut remembers that one). Honestly, your volume on the drums overpowers and drowns out the ENTIRE chorus. This feels more like the ending music to
Donkey Kong Country, am I right? The part where King K. Rool falls to the shipdeck, you get all those corny Kredits (yes, Kredits), and then he jumps back up and
fails miserably at pwning the chimps? Honestly, the song doesn't fit the bill. I like it independently, but I don't get the impression of space.

6.5, good song, wrong genre

yeee =)

I like this one because of the pace of the song, which isn't fast-paced, which is how space game music was to me. More like open space epicness. You lose some points on the rather annoying samples though as well as introducing a modern sounding part to the song which totally took me away from my childhood memories.
7.4/10

Until 1:44 I felt like this was just a typical, side-scrolling video game theme. But at this moment the song shifts into something neat. I really enjoy the full symphony orchestra joining in to play for a little bit. The shift to a slower tempo and feel helps layer the song and add an entire new dimension. 2:24 returns to the side-scrolling dance rave.

Theme illustration made me think of a "Lifeforce" like game that came to life in 3D when there was the shift to epic theme.

This song had clean quantizing, quality samples/patches, and ambiance added where needed.

Bottom line: This entry met the criteria of the contest and deserves a score of 7.8. With an additional .2 bonus for complexity and .1 bonus for epicness. Overall 8.1

Well titled.

I love how dramatic it is. You definitely hit the mark on an exploratory tune. Loved the smooth tempo changes as well. Wouldn't call old school, but it's definitely got the retro feel. This would go great in a movie tribute to an old school game like Lode Runner or Metroid but, it demands too much of the listener for good background music. Great job!
