Main Theme (Tin Tin On The Moon) - HLEET Remix - Love the bass here. The drums are solid enough and the organ is great. Not sure I like the flute that back though. I mean I like the instrument itself, but not sure I'm a big fan of pushing it so far back in the mix as it were. Now, in contrast is the sax which just has zero space given to it. It is just thrown right up into your face. Kind of weird. Towards then end you've got some nice change ups bringing in some synths for some sound variation. Overall not too bad.


Lunar Joyride - All right, I gotta admit I really like the brass here despite it sounding cheesy. Not really a fan on the drum sound choices though. While everything else sounds good, the drums themselves sound too crunchy and lofi for the track to me. And while I do like the piano, I do wish it was given some more reverb to really place it into space. Now, the transition to the breakdown is actually brilliant. Lowering the tempo and letting the pads dominate is honestly just a fantastic idea. Then the change up at the end is completely and utterly juxtaposed to what came before it. That was daring, but I think it worked out for you because you simply owned it.


Space Funk - Mmmkay, big old bright synths. Big wide synth bass. Don't mind the kick or the percussion. Definitely, liked the overall use of space here. Maybe some more fun elements with some delay trills here or there for some of the shorter bits to kind of make them a bit more interesting to the ear. Now, while I don't mind the big wide bass, I do feel that it is perhaps a bit too wide. It isn't out of phase in the bottom end, but you do let a surprising amount of low end through. But yeah this is a solid & fun mix. If I'm being honest it kinda reminds a bit of the The Orb. Dunno why, just kind of getting that vibe.

APZX: Dang, them pads laying out a rich, flowing texture for the whole piece. Sweet synth work as a whole, very stylish and slick.

Hleet: Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who thought piano would work great for that bassline. Very fun instrumentation.

TVG: That percussion, though. And the lead synth in the beginning makes me think of old Sega Sonic games. As advertised, very funky, and well done.

After thinking long and hard (Believe me, this one was very tough, because all 3 were really good), i think Souperion should get the win. From the top yes?


APZX - Really liking the basslines and synth chords here. It's very trippy, some chords are not on beat, but some are, i can't tell if it's intentional or not, but it's kind of cool. The synth lead is very vibrant, and really fits the vibe of the composition, I also really like how the funk aspect is brought out in this version. It's very nicely done. Electric pianos on point too. The only criticism i have, is really the first point i made. The chords are very trippy, and i don't feel like they fit on the beat. The mixing is very good though, although i do feel like the drums should have a bit more swing, really accentuate that funk style, and in my opinion i would consider that the main critiscms/advice. Add more swing to certain parts, would really make this one hell of a funky experience, and maybe tone down some of the melody ideas, as they were a tad bit loud. Other than that, this is a lovely arrangement, and a lot of fun, well done!


hleet - I really liking the natural arrangement of this, in contrast to the electronic vibes of the others. I especially like that rock organ, that is a lovely patch, and works super well in the melody. The whole thing is very much like a live band arrangement, and i love it. The call and response of different instruments is also a lovely touch, it definately feels like it's meant for a crowd of video game enthusiasts. The things i would work on, and to me it's 2, is one some parts are a little dry and unmixed, i feel there could be more nuance in some of the sounds. For one thing, the melodies are in your face compared to others. Also the second thing, is i would have changed the flute sound, it's a little sharp in the mix for me. However even with the critiscms aside, this is very lovely, i'm huge into the drums and bass, very tight and a load of fun. Well done!


Souperion - Lots of interesting guitar and piano work here, really liking the trumpet solo, very nice. The one thing that really got me was the the way everything pops out, it's very funky and has the nice swing i like of the original. The one thing i also like, is the pause in the middle, you really let things develop, and maybe even structure it like a full on vibrant pop experience. There is a few things i would work on personally, and the big one for me is the mix. It can get a little loud in a lot of areas, and the drums sometimes are getting pushed down by the other parts. Bassline was also lost in the mix here, i would have pushed that up, to make it really funky, as the basslines are usually the ones that carry the groove forward (However though, the ending everything is super clear, so some of the critiscms/critique becomes a tad bit one sided) The middle section was really good though, very vibrant, has a lot of cool choir stuff going on, it's a nice switchup, and really paves the way for the last part, where it's really popping. The last part is my favourite, because everything is clearer, compared to the first part, even if a few things could be changed. It was hard decided between you and APZX, but in the end, the creativity and swing vibes won me over. Everyone of you was awesome though! All in all, this was very funky, and a load of fun. Well done!
