There are definitely elements that remind me of Kikuta's work here. Nice work on this.

1. work-in-progress REMIX - Dire Dire Docks | Super Mario 64
Souperion replied to rakafella1018's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Very sweet and gentle. Nice work. -
3. completed Fury3 - Terran Theme (Remix)
Souperion replied to synesthesics's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Oh, the memories this brings back. I was barely cognizant when I first played Fury 3, but this... brings it all back. I couldn't remember it before I listened to your piece, but it's all so familiar now. Wish I could have appreciated this song back then, but this is even better. Thrumming, pulsing atmospheric beats and synths that pushes you to the edge of your cockpit seat. Real nice work here, thanks for revitalizing these memories! -
work-in-progress Divine Intervention
Souperion replied to Trevor M. Baker's topic in Post Your Original Music!
I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by synthetic focus of a piece called Divine Intervention. There is a decidedly heroic, larger-than-self feeling. I also must admit that parts of it remind me of the OST of Zero Wing. And those choir samples: MMM! They remind me of those used in Metroid Prime 2. Or maybe Soul Blazer. Anyways... I enjoyed this piece, you really accomplished a sense of awe. The strings make for a good support role here, and the continual motion of the synths is like a comforting presence that doesn't leave you. Well done. -
piano Sad Piano Solo - A Dream Unfulfilled
Souperion replied to chriskaudio's topic in Post Your Original Music!
I know this should make me somber, but it seems the cathartic release is producing the opposite result. I am quite impressed by the delicate mood of this piece. Low in spirit, yes, a little downcast, but not really abject hopelessness and depression. Frustration surfaces in some parts, adding to a complex state of mind. This piece feels like it should be playing to accompany some noble's mild frustration and anguish while wandering his/her estate on a gentle rainy day. Good work here. -
0:00-0:05 Ah, more Aquatic Ambiance. This should- (the F# at 0:06 plays)... oh, my, this going to be good. And it is. The subtle dark twist to this classic is exquisite. I did note that your melody lead (first introduced at 1:17) seems to crowd the other frequencies when it hits the lower notes, shouldn't be too hard to fix. Well done with this one, and here's hoping to a resolution to this mass-views situation.

OCR04094 - Golden Sun "Smooth Sailing"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
To take a heroic, optimistic epic like Through the Karagol Sea, and turn it into the smoothest song I've heard in a long time... It's transcendent. It hurt me when it was finally over. Praise be for repeat buttons, and for all the skill put into this piece. Well done, and well done. -
OCR04093 - Golden Sun "I'm Golden, Son!"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I didn't know just how badly I needed to hear this song before I clicked on it. Calling it a work of art seems diminutive. Overwhelmingly fantastic arrangement, from concept to execution. Just... amazing. Well done, thank you all. -
OCR04092 - Golden Sun "Sorrow of the Forest"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Was anyone else ecstatic to see RebeccaETripp and Gamer of the Winds cover this song? It's all I had hoped to hear from Kolima Forest, and more. Thank you both for making this wonder a reality. -
OCR04091 - Golden Sun "Angarian Vigil"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
It's hard to add anything that isn't already said about this piece. It's so expressive and deep that I expect it to pull up a seat next to me. Thank you for this one, and especially thank you for TSori for taking part in making this album become a reality, and letting folks like me know about it last year. -
OCR04090 - Golden Sun "Hand of the Fire Clan"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Splendid work! The depth and complexity of this is awesome. Sinister, yes, and decidedly confrontational, yet that noble and refined twist is artistic elegance. When you consider that these two villains were going about a work that was, in one sense, the only hope of the world, but their villainous methods cast the whole business in a dark light. Well done, well done. -
OCR04089 - Golden Sun "Golden Sunrise"
Souperion replied to Liontamer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I was so excited to see that Sam Dillard would do this piece, and we. Are. Not. Disappointed. Thank you for this brilliant marvel. -
3. completed Super Mario Land - Ruins (Orchestral Remake)
Souperion replied to George Diamond's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Very nice take on such a classic. Strongly reminds me of the version of this on Smash Bros. Brawl. You pulled off a forceful yet delicate feeling, well done. -
3. completed Storm Eagle Stage [ MX ][ BGM EVO ]
Souperion replied to sakurashou hana chan's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Storm Eagle! Huzzah. Really like your variations on this classic gem. The piano and synth bells are a nice choice of instrumentation, a pleasing contrast to the guitar elements. I'd experiment with the EQ and/or compression of this, the sound of the synths do sound a little crowded, if that makes any sense. Still, I like what you've done here, nice work! -
3. completed Super Black Bass 3 - Intro Theme [Remix]
Souperion replied to Juke's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Excellent as always. I do love how easily you can work that Zelda's Lullaby into... just about everything I've heard you share on this forum. Your stylistic approach to remixing is elegant and enriching, do keep it up! -
Always happy to hear more aquatic variance! I'll be honest, the song startled me at the start. I like the sound of those synths, but they are a tad shrill, at least in the beginning. Nothing a little EQ won't help. Really intense electronic elements here: it's like swimming through a liquid mass of machinery and circuitry. Also, the water's electrocuted. The mechanical break down of 1:00- 1:24 is a really neat touch, especially with the smoother sounds following it. I enjoyed the variance of the different sections, nice work!

3. completed Super Street Fighter IV - Theme of Juri - Cover
Souperion replied to TAIKOI's topic in Post Your Game ReMixes!
Good effect on the piano solo, it really leaves ya itching for the shredding to return. Nice work on the shredding, by the way. It's pretty tight and solid to me, kinda wish there was more. Good job! -
Really, really stoked on my latest track.
Souperion replied to jane's topic in Post Your Original Music!
Wow. This piece really demands a listener's attention, or maybe I was just close to a stupor when I clicked on it. It pulses, it blasts at times, this opus is alive. Could fit a lot of sci-fi action scenes. I might have to go play Mass Effect with this playing. Nice work, thanks for sharing this one! -
Best wishes for our suffering musicians out there. And maybe the rest of the world while things sort out. Regardless of whether or not things are being done right about this pandemic, I hurt for those really struggling from this abnormal situation. A full transition to online college classes was not in my spring plans, but it's a negligible complaint. At least studies keep one busy. When neglecting that, it's back to FL Studio, Starcraft 2, or other computed time vacuums. I find it somewhat amusing to be part of this fascinating demographic that can, in response to "what have you been up to during quarantine," say "oh, produced about X novice remixes." And hey, for what it's worth, if any of you are struggling with musical motivation, drop a piece by at the workshop forum. I'll be lurking around there to try and put in a few good words.
