Catchy!

Making something epic is hard enough, but to make it loop and have the person playing the game not suffer from a mental breakdown and run screaming from the loop is hard enough! I have to say I would've liked to see the melody be carried to something faster paced and elaborate after the choir cuts in at :30 or so... such as a violin or electric guitar, the horns' buzz gets a little old after the second runthrough.

All in all, I think the biggest lesson can be learned from older games when it comes to music loops. I mean, who ever got sonic's invinciblity power up and complained of the 16-bit loop that may have lasted... 15 seconds or so? It feels like this should have either been simplified more, or had more added to it.

MaestroRage responds:

quite true, a loop is mad difficult to keep ambient, yet powerful, especially of the epic nature. The original intention of this song was to be much longer, a short symphony of sorts, in that way you have at least a 3 minute loop.

And though the older games has such simple awesome loops, by today's standards I don't know how well that would carry over.

Electric guitar would have been pretty damn sweet, now if only I had one :'(

I did have a violin, so in retrospect, why that wasn't in there IS a mystery to me. Maybe at the time I didn't want it in there.

Thanks for the review GeLaTiNoUsTuRnCoAt *fun to write the name :D*, i'm glad you liked it!

I love your stuff!

It's great. I tried to convince my band director to let us play it... Sadly, he doesn't think we have good enough instrumentation. For those who don't play an instrument, this means one of two things: A) We suck, or B) This song is too good.

Methinks it's the latter.
