This time around, I feel like TVG got down the MnP themes really well. I loved everyone's innovations and takes, so I relied a bit more on how the song's mixing and such went.
Wassup: Enjoyed your instrumentation, those pipes really got me. You made some real happening groove going on there, especially with the piano parts. I'm the worst person on the net for giving feedback on guitars and such, but I think the one you used worked pretty well. The reimagined melody sections were fun, made it lively and spirited. Nice take on this thing!
VGM: Don't feel so bad about not being the biggest fan of a popular ost. I enjoyed the energy and electronic soundscape of your piece. Even with very faithful notes, it was alive with your style. Love when the hard kicks come in with a percussion upgrade, shaking my ears and window panes. Seems to me that the piece is a bit heavy on the high and low frequencies, a tad shrill at times, but I really enjoyed how the lead strikes me as something between electric bagpipes and strings. Nice work here.
Vodou Queen: Dang, that stylistic shift! You're right that some of it is a bit sharp, but I am impressed with how you took that mood and atmosphere of the thing and translated it so smoothly. And this piece travels so well, I think it's on the road to the next gig already! I say give yourself some slack from the hard mechanics of the song this time and enjoy what it wanted to be. Come back to this mix sometime later, smooth out and master things, and you'll have a niiiiice song. Keep at it!
