Reviews for "Tropical Run"

VGM?

The music sounds awesome, but are you also planning on implementing this into a video game? High quality stuff man. Thanks!

shadowmana responds:

I don't intend to do a lot with my music other than have people listen to it and use it if they find a need to.

But hey, whatever makes people happy I guess!

Thanks for the review.

You know what I like!

I can see where some people would find this song rather repetitive, but I honestly don't see how it could affect THAT much of this piece; what is repeated is well versed in a flurry of upbeat notes, with a rhythm that really gets me moving!

Perhaps the most enjoyable part of this is, by far, the opening sequence, as you waste no time in immersing the listener into a world of palm trees, blue skies, and impending speed. No sooner did the page finish loading than I found myself basking in the sunlight of a stage from Sonic Adventure, watching Sonic speed by as he rushed to his next destination. Surely this can be used for more than this game reference, but my nostalgia brings that memory back as a start.

In noting the loss of a point in my scoring, I found that one piece, beginning at 1:36 and ending at 1:46, was slightly awry in the organization. The sound of two trumpets rather close in pitch clashing against one another led me astray, even if only for a moment, where a single trumpet solo would have fared much better.

That aside, though, this is certainly worth a second listen, and surprising for a second submission from you. Keep me in touch, because I'll definitely be coming back for more!

shadowmana responds:

The sound of the trumpet, incidentally, I felt molded together well. And since I haven't received any other mentions on the trumpet duo, I figure I won't change it.

Thanks for the input and the support.
