[Sonic Advance - Special Stage]

Amazing remix!

You did a fantastic job with this arrangement, Karaventus. Not only did you keep the essential melody and rhythms, but the minimal retouching keeps the gorgeous theme we know and love clear and familiar.
My only complaint is the quick cutoff at the end. I understand that game music tends to do the same if not continuously looped, and perhaps that was your intent. If not, however, I would suggest adding a sustained last note or a different ending in respect to the actual game. In all honesty, however, your current arrangement works wonderfully as is!
Congratulations on a stunning job well done. Definitely a fave for me!

[Klonoa - Dreams]

Simply fantastic!

I have always adored this song, and my friend, you just made it sound twice as good! The untouched melody line works beautifully, and forms a perfect sync with the percussion. Plus, I love the synthesized effects you arranged in-- they really add flair to the song.
Overall, a gorgeous remix of a videogame classic. You do this game proud.

[<-Inner-Fire->]

Gorgeous--it blew me away

I stumbled across this song purely by accident, and immediately fell in love with it. The steady percussion is fantastically arranged and really carries the song, while the resonant choir vocals are a hauntingly beautiful addition. The main brass melody is neither too loud nor too soft, working in perfect harmony with the pizzicato strings to create a satifyingly ambient refrain.
My only complaint is the quick cutoff at the song's end. It may work for creating a perfect loop, but hurts the song when listened to as a single track. I suggest you add an echo to the final note or a like effect to clean it up. Otherwise, this is one marvellous piece of music!
Keep up these amazing compositions, DJ-Rec0il! I'll be listening!

thanks for the kind words spinningcannon im glad you njoyd it

[Mech City intro (HB version)]

Awesome work!

Smooth beat, well-written melody, and fantastic composition. The record-scratch effect is a nice touch, as is the added echo on the piano and guitar.
Short and sweet, overall a very enjoyable song. Wonderful work on this as usual, Rec0il!

[Sonic The Hedgehog Dirty Remix]

Fantastic!

I love the incorporation of so many different game sounds into this-- truly genius. Wonderful blending, a clear and unmistakable melody, and one heck of a backbeat make this a true masterpiece and phenomenal tribute. Sonic should be proud!
Definitely a favorite for me. Keep up this beautiful work. You have some incredible talent!!
