They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. However I am less than flattered here. If you had made any attempt to build on the song, or improve it, I could view it as a remix.
However you didn't, and I don't.
(For those who are wondering, this is a song I posted back in 2003, two years before Gotanks posted this)
In the future, ask first, and credit anyway.

"It's really, really one dimensional"
What can I say? This is a fairly accurate representation of the classic mario theme. MIDI perhaps? I don't know. The piano sounds fantastic. You just don't do anything different. It's more or less the theme exactly as it was in the gaming world.
2/5

Fairly accurate? FAIRLY accurate? Man I got that song note for note. And yes it was a midi saved as a wav converted to an mp3. I have fl studio, but it doesn't have a regular piano sampler so I just gotta got with a midi. And cmon, didn't do anything different? How many other ppl on here have the mario theme with
the special effects? But anway thx for the review.

It just takes too long to go anywhere. Which isn't that bad, except it's annoying and repetitive. Your instrument choices are...interesting. For the most part, you use the instruments originally intended (The trumpet, the guitar), instead of more techno ones. Your arrangement is generally good, but the beginning goes on twice as long as it should. Overall, I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

This is really well done. I quite enjoyed it, and it's clear you know what you're doing. As for Mr. Reaper over there, you can ignore him. He's just a lonely, ignorant, pompus, arrogant 12 year old. He pulled the same thing on me.
Just ignore the twits like that, and keep up the good work.

I can appreciate your mad guitar playing skills. It sounds like you can put together some really cool riffs. The only problem I have is the recording quality. Maybe you should look into a better mic? or a sound card with a guitar cable port. Anyway, keep up the good work!
Author's Response:
Well, first of all I have a new sound card in. The problem with this recording is that my distortion was way too heavy to be recorded through this cheap equipment.
If you listen to, "She has a lovely face," you will find that the recording quality is much better than the rest of the songs.

However, I'm sad to say that it's a little..awkward. But i have to commend you, it is would be impressive, were it not for the sub-standard instruments (slayers are that, when unmanaged). I'd also like to point out that the Flanger near the end made my ears sore. But send me an email sometime. You've clearly got talent for creating original works.

As far as video game themes go, it's one of the best I've heard in a long time. Kind of industrial-ish, if you know what I mean. Although I have to admit the main instrument kinda grated on my nerves after a while, I still quite enjoyed it.

(The steel drums were a nice touch.)
Author's Response:
thanks for your review GS-Screamer. I have no idea what u mean by industrialish, but i guess it's ok anyway. The main instrument believe it or not, was worse until i tweaked it to give a crisper sound. thanks!
