Goomba Slaughterfest
Some good stuff you got here. Very impressive, I don't remember hearing this entry. There are some loops that do everything music correct that I just can't stand the sound of, and then there ones that do the same but for some reason I really like. This is the latter.
I like the instrument that starts it out. It sounds like it has some kind of LP, BP or HP filter on it. I can't really tell, maybe its just flanger. Its always a good thing when I can't tell how a sound was made.
In the middle and toward the end theres a really cool sound I like. Sounds like a gumba getting pissed off from Mario 64. Pissed off gumbas kick ass.
Theres some synths in there I don't like too much, but mostly it sounds good. The bass line is on the verge of "a little too simple." Again still sounds good, you got enough stuff going on besides it to fill the void. The lead melody which sounds like its played sytrus instrument (which I doubt it is) or some kind of flute synth sounds pretty good. Can't think of anything I'd do differently with any of this.
Overall a good loop. I can listen to for a long time before I get sick of it and the loop, although obvious, works out and doesn't loose the flow of the song. I don't know how long it is, but I think you should have the length and added some variation. Maybe some pirana plants and koopa troopas...? I guess a goomba or two is enough.
As for pumping me up for battle I'd say it does its job. Its fast tempo and a little bit crazy, but unfortunately the main melody is actually quite calming. My ears don't know what to think - slice my opponents head off or drink a pina colada by the pool. Hell, either way its fun to listen to and what else could matter?
Fun to review too. Keep the good ones rollin' and maybe I'll stop by again some day. Actually I will... for you other loop =X.
