Im a big fan of Italo Disco and this hits the mark quite well. Maybe not the vocals in the beginning so much but all the other sounds are just about right on the cheese level.

Great work at making a fun and nostalgic sounding tune.

I do very much enjoy it.

I like it. We need more 80's style mixes around here.

It's not a masterpiece, but what it does, it does well.

I do commend thee, Akumajo.

Nice job, man. I like it.

A little light on the arrangement side, but still delightfully cheesy.

Keep the SotN mixes coming, people!

I loved this on VGMix, and now I love it here. Reminds me a lot of some of the Provincialism Ys tracks. Very 80'sish, very fun, very nostalgic... though for other games, not SotN, which is weird.

On a side note, was kinda surprised none of the judges mentioned the (kinda bad) use of FL Slayer.

As far as I know, the choice of the samples isn't something to take in mind - it's how they're applied. Mind, I saw this to be an awesome mix at VGMix and I equally appreciate it here. A great debut for Akuma in his own right.
Course, for me repetition may be shown as a light issue, but given the popular music format of the 80s I'm sure that can be lifted.

Robbie himself was just as excited about all this - he even sent me a private message in person. I also need to quote something else from him:

Does that answer any FL haters' questions? :P

I heard this piece on VGMix first....and I must say, I was impressed then, and still am. But then, tis the rare Castlevania piece I don't like.

The errors are small details. Keep it up!

Yep. I listened this mix on VGMix too. Someone deleted my stupid "review".

Yeah, the guitar is pretty bad (yuk, FL Slayer!). Also, the robot voices are very awful. :(

But it is still awesome.
