Very cool....
Lovin' this remix here. Very chill, and quite relaxing.
Really good job here! The arrangement of this is great, and the sound of this is quite cool. What I really like here is those wind chimes. A nice touch IMO. Makes for a great song to chill to.
Be worth being stuck in an elevator just to listen to this!

Wow...
Really great remix here! In fact, it's the only one I know of here in the AP!
Love the overall sound of this. Very much similar to the original, yet it has it's own unique sound. The electric strumming is a nice touch IMO.
A great remix here, and a great song to relax to as well! Good work!

Cool..
Lovin' this song! Good work!
I like the beginning of this. Starts off simple with the drums and melody, then you add in bass and marimbas (or are those vibraphones?). Then when it hits the 1:01 mark you add in strings. Very nice.
What I really liked here is the transition...
Now this took me by surprise. I thought this was just a simple hip-hop song, then you throw in that drum loop and it's now a DnB song.

This is a very nice song here. Great to relax to, until it gets to 3:41 that is lol.

Nice.
Ahh, yet another Nintendo Concerto makes it to the Top 30.
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Intro ~
A great song to begin with! It seems to be at the right tempo, and it sounds nice. Good!
~ Earthworm Jim 64: Andy Asteroids Race ~
I have never played the game, so I can't say much about this song. I must say though, that this it pretty fast-paced,
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Song of Storms ~
A little too fast for my taste. The tempo is faster than it was supposed to be, and on top of that, it only played once. I would have preferred this to be loop at least twice, even thrice. Too good of a piece to cut off so early. (-1)
~ Donkey Kong Country: Map Selection ~
Now this here is a major problem. As it starts off, it's way too loud. It's as if you were just pounding on the keys here. It sounds better as it progresses, but the beginning could have sounded better. (-1)
~ Super Mario World: Overworld Map 1 ~
No problems here! Love playing this game, even to this day. Good work!
~ Pokemon Gold: New Bark Town ~
Quite peaceful. I like it. A great song to listen to!
~ Tetris: A Theme ~
It just had to be done...
~ Super Mario RPG: Sad Song ~
As of yet, I have not played this game. Hopefully I'll be getting it on Virtual
Console soon!
Indeed, it does sound quite sad. Well played!
~ Super Mario 64: Bowser's Theme ~
One of my personal favorites from Super Mario 64. The only thing that ruined it for me here, is that you cut it off too early (again).
If it had looped at least twice, I would have liked this part. (-1)
~ Super Metriod: Main Theme ~
This is Kraid's Lair y'know. The beginning of this threw me off. I could barely hear the melody with all the other notes playing. All I hear is the low chords, rather than the melody itself.
Doesn't sound as good as it should have. (-1)
~ Banjo Kazooie: Main Theme ~
Can't really remember much from this game, although I definitely remember the theme! No problems here.
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Gerudo Valley Intro ~
Played too fast. That's all there is to say.
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Death Mountain ~
Another great addition! Sounds good, although it seemed to me that the melody was hard to hear. Other than that, it's good!
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Bolero of Fire ~
Only one problem I find here, and that it was played too loud. It sounded good starting off, but then you played even louder, which ruined it. It was an alright ending, though it could have been better. (-1)

The main problem I found throughout the whole song was the panning. At times, it seemed that everything was coming from the right speaker, with very little sound from the left speaker.
The panning really got to me, as everything seemed to come from the right speaker. A better balance between the two speakers would have helped. (-1)
Don't worry everyone I'm gonna redo these.
Bravo!
Seeing that this a concerto composed of many different songs, I shall review each and every one of them lol.
~ Banjo Tooie: Intro ~
Great beginning. Nice song to begin with! No problems here.
~ Kirby's Dreamland ~
Nice transition into this! The one thing I find wrong here is the sound of the beginning. The beginning sounds weird, although the rest of it does nice. Still though, the discordance in that part doesn't work out too well. (-1)
~ Banjo Kazooie: Spiral Mountain ~
While I don't remember this game much, the music sounded great! Good job here.
4. ~ ??? ~
~ Kid Icarus: Overworld
Not much to say about this piece. Good job!
~ Bomberman: Title ~
Now this song really gets the piece moving here! Surely is fast-paced, and quite hectic. A nice addition to this concerto!
~ Banjo Kazooie: Klungo's Theme ~
Sounds nice here. Again, not much to say. Good job!
~ The Adventures of Lolo ~
Okay, just so you know, I have never played this game. This song does sound nice though, and it makes me want to play it!
~ Legend of Zelda - A Link to the Past: Overworld ~
One of my favorite pieces here! Only problem I find is that it was way too short. would have preferred this to loop at least twice. Really, this piece is too good to cut off early. (-1)
~ Pokemon Red/Blue: Route 1 ~
Ah, this brings me back. Such good memories of me playing this game. Nowadays though, I'm playing Diamond/Pearl lol. Good job here!
~ Megaman X - Armored Armadillo ~
Always love to listen to a Megaman song. The problem I find here is that it's somewhat hard to hear the melody in the beginning. You have so many notes playing at the same time, that the melody seems to blend into the background. The melody should be able to be heard clearly, above all else. (-1)
~ Earthworm Jim: Poultrygeist ~
Again, never played this game. I have nothing to say about this track, and also find no problem with it.
~ Pokemon Red/Blue: Cerulean City ~
Quite peaceful to listen to. Certainly a great song to relax to! Good addition.
~ Pokemon Red/Blue: Celadon City ~
Slightly more cheerful than the previous, yet still is a peaceful song. Another good addition!
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: The Lost Woods ~
Ah, the Lost Woods. The countless amount of time I spent in there, running around trying to find the right path. Lol, listening to this for hours really got annoying.
A great addition!
~ Super Mario 64: Dire Dire Docks (Jolly Roger Bay) ~
One of the most peaceful songs I can think of. Although, I do feel that it is slightly faster than it should be. No point reduction though, though it feels that the tempo is a little over the original.
~ Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time: Prelude of Light ~
A great song to end a magnificent concerto! Great work!

newgrounds needs more reviewers like you. Thanks for the REALLY LONG review bro!
Nice..
While I admit that I am tired of seeing Tetris remixes, I always like to see a change. Tetris A's just too overdone y'know?
A great 8-bit rendition! Good job!
It loops fairly nicely, although it could be a bit more smoother. The loop would be a lot better if the ending had been a little off. It does loop nicely though, so it's alright.
As for percussion, I have no problems with it. Not too loud, and yet not too soft either.

While I agree with everything you said, the tetris A remix is just something I HAD to do. As a fellow artist that should be something you can understand.
Okay!
In 1 hour you say? Not bad for the amount of time put into it.
Listening to this song, I can imagine a sailor on the high seas, enjoying life as a happy man.
As LordKrad22 below has said, it's missing something. As you said in your response, it's the percussion. The song sounds nice, but it lacks a good percussion to back it up.
Besides the percussion, there's nothing else I think of adding. Good job!

Lovin' this mix! Always love to listen to Megaman remixes! =D
What I like about this is the panning of the background music. Love how it pans from left to right, back and forth. And I thought I was only that thought of that idea!
The soundfonts sound great! Really sound nice, and are very good to listen to.
I do find one problem however. I feel that the bass is too soft and barely able to be heard. It's not that the other instruments are completely overpowering the bass, but I find it hard to hear. A small problem though, so no worry!

The bass comes in fine for me; then again, I have a mini-sub. :D I should use my headphones next time I do a mix-down. In actuality, though, the bass is low in the mix in the original, too.
Thanks for your review. :P
[EDIT:] After listening for a while, the bass sounds low in the mix because it's not a synth bass. Its frequency ranges from the low-mids to the mids, mostly, so it doesn't have the punchy low shelf that most basses in techno/house/electronica music have. That's one possibility, anyway. I can hear it just fine, but you might be trying to listening for a lot of low end that isn't there.
Cool...
Rarely do I ever see a Jazz remix of the Legend of the Zelda. Kudos!
Lovin' the entire song! Very mellow and cool, and is great to relax to. Just listening to this gets me in a chilled mood.
What I like here is the choice of instruments. Really loving the saxophone and brass, and the organ sounds nice as well.

Loving the vibe I get from this. Very smooth, and is great to relax to. This definitely deserves to be used in a flash game!
