Emunator

Um, apologies for the necrobump, but did the musical performance videos ever get posted?

Oh wow, it's that easy? I'll feel a lot more comfortable making it official once I sit down and get a WIP going, but thanks for the tentative hold! EDIT: I just sat down for the last half-hour or so improvising... I think I've got a rough idea of where I'm going with Long Goodbye, though my chord writing needs some work. I'll try to hook you up with a recording tomorrow when the house is quieter EDIT AGAIN: I just finished a 3 minute recording to show you kiiiiinda what I'm going for. I'll have that PM'd to you soon. I recorded it with my digital camera so the quality is crappy and the entire thing was improvised (I hope to have a MIDI keyboard by the time crunch time hits for the project, so I'll have better recording quality and be able to fix the missed notes) but I wanted to get it up ASAP to show you I'm serious about this You've been very inviting to me with the project and I want to reciprocate that by hauling ass to get this done for you

Alright, I'll bite. Long Goodbye is giving me some slight inspiration and I feel like I've significantly improved my piano skills to the point where I might be able to make something passable, so I'll mess around with it for a bit to see what I can do. Is that track even still open, though? I don't want to start putting some serious time into a WIP if someone's already working on it

This is one of the best metal mixes we've had posted recently... Really, this holds no punches and really just goes crazy for 4 and a half minutes, which is exactly what I like to hear Great playing, great arrangement and electronic embellishments... overall great track!

HEY, SECRET PROJECT FINISHERS, SHOW YOURSELVES! But seriously, I don't really mind waiting a bit of extra time, the delay will only make the payoff sweeter

Major props for using the word "heck" in a context that doesn't make it sound completely lame

Which one are we talking about? To me, it doesn't look like any projects are even close to the level of completion that this one is

It depends on whichever character model is better designed and overall looks cooler. Usually it's the female. Like you, it's probably Freudian

Pun intended? ... cuz' Labyrinth Zone is a water themed level? -headdesk- Seriously though, I'm sure Oinkness will throw together something good for the ending medley, he's a talented little bugger

Yeah dude, this is pretty good I like your synth choices and how you use them (particularly the pitch bends, they remind me of AnotherSoundscape's tracks at times.) I'll agree with Willrock that it gets cluttered during that one point, either EQ one of the counterpoints down a bit or just simplify the whole section. Overall though, a killer track with great leads, nice pads, and a really bumpin' bassline that halc made sure I paid specific attention to! I'll be keeping this one on my playlist for a while!

Let's see... I've heard 5 completed tracks (Fishy, Audix, Tepid, Nekofrog, and OA's) 1 almost-complete track (Taucer's) and then at least 20+ minutes worth of preview tracks... So I'd say I'm probably a bit more than 15% spoiled but I'll echo your sentiment This project will be amazing, no question about it.

10char EDIT: haha, never mind.

I'm not alert enough for a full review at this time, but I want to point out one thing that I noticed before I totally crash: Christ almighty, those drumrolls scared me, they're so loud! My biggest problem with them, though, is that even if they were turned down, nothing is happening with the rest of the song to warrant their inclusion. Usually, I would use a drumroll as a transition to an expanded, likely more energetic section of the song, but for the most part it feels like they're thrown in somewhat-arbitrarily here. I do like the first half of the song pretty well with the sparse but powerful drumbeats. That worked out well Looking forward to seeing this improved, you picked some nice source tunes and I think you could go places with this!

I really have been looking forward to seeing this posted. I don't know why it didn't make it onto SoS as a main track, I think it was just as good, if not better, than a lot of the ones on there. You've got a very bubbly, sugary-sweet atmosphere going on that makes me smile, and I can't help but hum along to that bassline whenever I listen. So good!

It's got a nice live sound to it that I've come to love from you guys, but I've gotta say that it feels strange hearing a song that moves so slowly be so short... It feels like there's a lot of room to expand here that didn't really get covered, like this song is just a very small segment of a larger version. That's not to say that what's here is not enjoyable, because it definitely is... I just feel like it's missing a lot.

Happy birthday dude! PS: I still want to buy your keyboard

Poor OA, nobody's asking about his queued track

Haha, thanks you two

I'm curious, there's 2 mixes in the "to be posted" queue that I don't recognize... who did "Rare Respite" and "How KRool Went Insane"?

Here's a mix from last months' DoD competition that covers this game. It got last place, but it's still a pretty good mix IMO

I love how this is the only track currently tagged with "Sexy" I love this song and I'm keeping it on my iPod just because the benefit of listening to it outweighs the risk. Still, it's not meant for polite company, that's for sure Love it, guys

This is my favorite song on the album, the interwoven pianos really hit the spot

Awesome, but this update completely kicked Humans + Gears off of the front page. Even Echoes of Betrayal is on that rotating news widget, but Xenogears isn't. It'd be cool to get it back on the spotlight in some form to get it the exposure it deserves This was a great surprise though, thanks for making my otherwise-dull Halloween night a bit more interesting!

This is a great surprise! Wow, I'm pretty stoked, Joshua Morse is one of my faves and I can always count on him for some good tunes. Downloading now, feedback imminent!
