Finally I have found a song with the complete ending of SM64! You played it VERY well, it sounds just like the original tune, with a nice piano touch! :)
5/5 + Download - thank you for making this!
Feel free to check out my music.

This is an extremely fun song to listen to. After playing this internet game called Z- Will, I really wanted to find out where the tune came from. I happened to come upon this remake of yours.
Your version of the song has tons of energy. Unfortunately, there are some parts that could have used work such as that part with those very loud chords and the ending (especially the last 10 second; that voice thing was annoying)
Besides that, great job, and the way you introduced the main melody into the song was really cool.

So, I went onto Newgrounds to see if there was any good music to listen to. Then I saw Flashburn and I knew I would be pleased. My brother (Sebby_man) showed me your music a while ago I really like it, especially Crimson Keys. This song is just as good, if not better.
The notes you chose for this song were VERY good, especially in the beginning. I just love the way this song (and many of your other songs) progress. I especially enjoyed the instrument that came after the second cymbol roll, it reminded my a bit of XsToRmEr (I think I got his name wrong).
Also the mastering was very well done. It must have been hard to lower and raise the volume of the siren and the rest of the song so they sounded good together. The panning was great too.
The only problem I can think of is the siren. It might be a bit too loud at some parts.
Good luck on your future songs. And did you know you are on the Newgrounds audio playlist in the NG MAG section?
5/5

Dude, you have really great tunes, but you have got to expand them. For example this song could really be something great if you worked to make it longer and added some other instruments (even if the theme is a lonely piano solo).
Well, good job!

That was SUCH a good song! It was so relaxing and had a very smooth flow. I just sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed the music. Another interesting thing was it was the first song I heard on my new surround sound system :)
Keep these great songs up! And also, what program do you use? Feel free to check out my music.

FL Studio 5!

What can i say, another great piano piece. You are really quite a composer. I can hardly imagine how good your music will sound when you get older! I loved the way you made the song slow, then fast, then slow. (I don't know many musical terms, there is probably one for that)
5/5!!

its called accelerando but i didnt use that, i just instantly changed the tempo so i guess on sheet music it would say 'b tempo' wen its fast and then 'a tempo' when its normal again lol i think....
thanx for the review

I enjoyed this song a lot. I have some pointers, but I also have a lot of praise.
+ By introducing the violins the way you did, it seemed awkward, maybe they should have been at a lower volume when introduced and then gradually the volume is increased.
+sometimes when you went from one new instrument (or part) to the next, it wasn't very smooth, I'm not sure how you can fix that with the program you have.
+The strings and the brass have pretty bad sound qualities- they sounded fake- try fixing that up if you can.
+the ending was very abrupt, it looped well but you can still make a good loop without ending the song like that.
On to the pros....
+I loved the array of instruments you used, especially the xylophone/marimba thing and the guitar.
+It was a very emotional piece, which is good.
+It has a very nice feel to it, very fun to listen to.
+The notes you used were very good, especially the piano.
The good things about this song outweigh the bad by alot, but just try to work on some of these things. I may have forgotton to say a few things, but by judging the length of this review, I couldn't have missed much. I hope my suggestions work. Best of luck with your future songs. 4.5/5 (5/5 when i rate it)
Feel free to check out some of my music.

Wow, that was a really good song. Did you mix together live paino with computer created strings and drum backround or was this all made with a program? If so, what program do you use.
When I listened to the song, it just kept getting better and better until it ended [and it ended way too soon :(, it was too abrupt]. In came the drums, which were a nice twist, then theere were two pianos at the same time. I loved it all. This was a very inspiring piece and is worthy of a 5/5, so that's what I'll rate this (and most likely download)
While listening, the piano is so good, it makes the song so sad (which I like alot)
Feel free to check out some of my music!

No program :)... all one small lil Yamaha Keyboard. Just a clever mix of reverbed piano and synth strings. And of course... a looped kit. At one point... their are 3 pianos. This was purely an experiment... that I loved. Thankyou for your review and I'll check out ur music.

I loved how the song progressed. The first few timesI heard this song, i stopped listening after about 30 sec., but now that I've heard the whole thing, I'm really starting to like it. this is so cool. You really know how to make good songs! And I know you dont tend to respond to reviews due to your bad english, but can u please tell me how I can make it so the "Your computer is too slow..." doesn't come up. I have reason and I'm making a song, but that always happens at one part in the song. Itmay just be my computer is simply too slow, but I just wanted to see if there was another way.
And if anyone else besides paragonx9 knows how to solve my problem, can they pleas email me at petwoip@yahoo.com
Well, thanks!
