Last Ninja Palace Gardens (loader, c64 remix by Aleksander Toren)

Thanks for all the comments on this one!

The feedback is both encouraging and educating for me, for instance I've been looking into mixing (didn't know what it was about more than setting the levels really) and I noticed that just paning the leads to the left and right made them stop killing the background so much. So I'll take this with me to my next project aswell as applying some more variation to the repetetive parts of the songs

MORBID shouts:

This one is great! Well done, Aleksander!

Caboose shouts:

I'm sure some will complain a bit about one of the main instruments you use, but I won't bother :) I liked it!

Amok shouts:

Really nice track. Maybe my ears are a bit damaged after hearing mongos Comic Bakery but imho the mixing and mastering could be much better... A bit overladen sometimes...

nicodaemus shouts:

I'd like to complain about some of the main instruments. And about horrible pitch-slides. And I must agree: some parts are overladen and could be mixed a bit cleaner. Mongo cleaned my ears, or so I guess... But it really started well, so it's not too bad.

Scyphe shouts:

This was nice, low key and smooth.

c64glen shouts:

I'll join the people complaining about the lead.

dis_cord shouts:

I don't care about minor technical issues, I'm really enjoying this one. I like the pitch sliding too.

cosmic_gerbil shouts:

Nice and atmospheric, I like it

prowler shouts:

Very good remix, a bit boring at times but cool enough to keep!

vassago shouts:

Me likes! Weeeee!

LaLa shouts:

I really like its fitting atmosphere. A more consistent instrument selection focusing on the "Japanese garden" effect would've helped immensely. Nicely done!

westerling shouts:

I like it, a very good song. But the lead glides too late and too much and the mix is very squishy/compressed.

Itekei shouts:

Weeee! Awesome

cpu.write shouts:

Ohhh, this one is gooooood. A little bit chinced out on the chimes at the end, but it sounds like real music and not a f&#*ing video game.

anaconda shouts:

First half: OMG OMG OMG! AWESOME! Last half: NOOOOOOOOOOO! It sucks! You missed the Awesome mark by half a song. PLEASE! PLEASE! Make a new version based on the first half! At least something different! Giving the VG mark trying to forget the last part.

Nebdar shouts:

I agree with anaconda the first impression was good but after that that horrible sound spoil everything

Makke shouts:

It's a nice idea (if a bit similar to The Dead Guys old remix of this track). But the mixing is just too off towards the end to make this enjoyable. It's also a bit on the repetitive side.

spellcoder shouts:

Very good based on the first half... 2nd half sounds like it came from a space shoot 'em up.

LPChip shouts:

Idea is good, but somehow these sounds don't work for me. They're off key at some times too. Ouch

symbols shouts:

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING.... LMAO
