    I can definitely dig that, Xenon. The minor jump is a bit abrupt -- I wanted to provide some variety, but perhaps it comes too caustically.

    You're certainly spot-on about the inbalance -- I tend to really crank the volume on everything, and since I can't control triangle loudness, it gets buried. In the future I'll definitely watch out for that.

    Thanks dude!

    I like it, but there are times when I feel like you just threw influences in because you were bored.

    I hear a strong Mario Land influence throughout, and then castlevania pops in there every once in a while.

    So, I like the sound, it was fun, but I feel like there isn't enough compositional coherency outside of "look what I can do now."

    I've never actually played Mario Land or Castlevania, but even if they had been influences, how is that a bad thing? Super Mario 3 or early platform NES music in general was the goal, so I see nothing wrong with using them as influences.

    In what way does it lack coherency?

    Thanks for your input! I'm glad you liked the sound, and "fun" is definitely what I was going for! It's the first fully-"NES" track of mine that I've been proud of.

    you pretty much nailed it. I guess I have an ambivlaent attitude toward the song, so I wasn't sure whether to mock it or sing it pretty. So I did both? I tend to do weird things anyway with songs, so really any reading into it is reading into it too much.

    the weird noises were improv'd alongside the main vocal, just kind of came out when I decided to sing it (god forbid I do it straight :/) and I thought the effects sounded nice. In general, I just kinda had fun with it. And I certainly was not "trying hard" to be goofy. Hyuck hyuck

    I'm glad you rescinded "terrible" as a describer, though :razz:

    Thanks for the thoughts!
