Reviews for Classic Overlord

[Quarl]

Not sure what you're implying by asking "how many well-known pieces can you find in this song?" Did you borrow midi, motifs from video games? Classical composers? Not sure what you meant by that but it sounds great. I'm guessing it's a squishy Swedish translation?

Including the FL video was a great touch. Love seeing the work people put into sequencing their ideas. I'm not holding the reverb against you, I suck at chiptune. It's so hard to stick to the confines of the genre when you have an entire digital audio workstation in front of you with sample libraries and effect units. I used a live kit and slapped digital distortion on it hoping no one would care... this will be our secret ok?

Track rocks. Legit classic masters would be all about the chiptune if they could time travel :)

Manderby responds:

Thanks! The well-known pieces are very small, somewhat hidden melodies from classical composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and the like. I counted 14 references from 1:08 to 1:36 and maybe there are some more in the rest of the song to which I was subconciously inspired by.

Swedish translation? I'm Swiss, but thanks anyway. :)

And I will keep your secred very secure. Nobody will ever read what is written here. ;)

Manderby responds:

Oh, he's easy to beat. Just drop some Friday Night Funkin' beats and he will disappear in shame.

This is a very cool ride, man. Both frenetic and nostalgic. It's hard to keep track of all the classic Mega Man call-backs, but there's a whole heck of lot of Blue Bomber goodness going on. Dr. Wily and his robotic army are officially on notice. Well done!

Manderby responds:

Thanks a lot! I just can't think not of Mega Man when it comes to 8-Bit sound. So inspiring!
