Super Mario RPG 'Geno's Woods'

This is a cool tune. Great pipey/flutey (I'm horrible with instrument names) samples at the beginning and throughout, really like those. The overall mix is really great. I've like all of Orkybash's stuff that I can remember.

Mario RPG is a game I've played through many many times, and I'd have to say that this mix is really good. The choice of of instruments fits the "adventurous" theme of the music perfectly, and I especially like the bassoon, although it gets drowned out a little bit by the higher instruments in its solo at about 1:07. It's also a bit short, but I don't know too many things present that could've really been expanded upon. So overall, a highly recommended mix.

The song itself is a tad short, but it keeps the bouncy theme of Geno's woods where you would later meet bowyer. The song itself is missing bass or dark notes to give it that sort of balanced sound to it. But the instruments were well played and chosen, and still give you the feel of being in the woods of a complete maniac all the while keeping you on your seat and harm-free.

This rates a good 7/10 in my scales.

Great theme, loved the game.
Sounds sort of medieval. :D
Almost as if it were played by a band of traveling minstrels, prancing and dancing through the lonely woods playing muic and singing cheerfully...
uh...um...I'm sorry, I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Anyway... Great mix. :D

The Forest Maze theme from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was an excellent theme, exemplifying the ambience, for want of a better word, of that game. The tune was adventurous with just a touch of forboding, as if some hidden fear lurked in the shadows of the trees as you ventured through the tangled forest... maybe a bit dramatic for a Mario game, but the theme did work. And "Geno's Woods" takes that adventurous, almost midieval theme and adds to it, creating a piece worthy of inclusion in a revamped SMRPG:LotSS for the GameCube or a later system. The woodwinds play a key role in this arrangement, dominating the melody and occasionally suplemented by strings in the background. The ambient sounds at the beginning of the piece are a nice touch, and the entire song flows very smoothly. It is really a shame that Orkybash couldn't have made this song a bit more lengthy, the piece's total time clocking in at one minute and forty-two seconds, as "Geno's Woods" really is a very fine ReMix worthy of recognition and recommended for downloading. At least in the humble opinion of this reviewer, though my opinion may not be held in high esteem in comparison when compared with many others that haunt this site. No matter - it's still a brilliant bit of work.

I'll be the next person in line to say how this has a Medieval sound to it, which is a very good thing. :D
I liked how you managed to but good variation in the song in such a small amount of time.

But anywho, this is a very cheery and soothing mix. Reccomended.

dude, you know my secret passion for medieval music. what i like about this is the steady progression, from the way the strings slide in around 0:25, to that grooving beat that enters around 0:40, to the tempo change at 0:57

[Corporal Eschebone]

He improved upon the original very nicely....Loved the flutes, but would have loved a mandolin to take over at around what is now the end.....

Oh, wait, that probably wouldn't work, would it?

....

It might, but only to about half the ppl that listen to it.

87.5%. Short, but enjoyable while it lasts.

Orkybash's made a great mix here. It does a great job of "remastering" the Woods theme, and I think that if the big N were to remake SMRPG (as they SHOULD, damnit!!), this would be what they'd use for the Woods... not only because it sounds great, but also because - and this will help the Corporal's length problem - It loops. The ambience at the end goes perfectly with the ambience at the beginning, and if you didn't know that and didn't have your Music Player in plain sight, you'd just think it was a break. Albeit similar to the break that happened a minute and a half ago.

Great remix, love the instruments at the beginning. All the instruments go so well in this song, the triangle sound thing is cool and the and the Strings in the back are so well placed. Good Job Orkybash!
