Simple nes style sound effects over drumloops? Off key noises? NO Lets work on our own percussion and try to develop a song structure.

The issue here is not the minimalistic nature of the song. Not at all. Its very well done. Issue is it repeats 5 times with no variation whatsoever. No variation on the beat, on the chords, on the guitar. Nothing and nothing. Its a 40 second song repeating 5 times. NO

This song is exceedingly hard on the ears. Some of the percussive samples are delayed rock set samples and using them for a beat like this makes everything sound out of sync. Secondly, everything is exceedingly repetitive. Very little variation aside from the differen't layering. The ending is about twice as loud as the rest of the song and does not conclude. It just ends. NO

This song is extremely static. Virtually no variation on the accompany and percussion. Same chords, same piano notes. Piano is very hollow. Do more variation on the background and less piano repeating. NO

Very cool movement here! Unfortunately, the samples were really lacking. However, even with bad samples, one can make them sound good. Try some harmony, counterpoint. Try some effects like reverb and eq. The spanish horns were wayy too loud next to the other instruments. Take what I said into consideration and resubmit NO

When this song isn't copying the original exactly, all the notes clash together. A more masterfull arrangement is required for this to be able to pass. Along side that, its far too short at 2:36. NO

This song started out so nice, and then the worst guitar samples I've heard in a very long time came in and destroyed it. Please resubmit with much better guitars. NO

DIZ SONG IZ OBVUSILY 2 L337 4 UZ I GNO DAHT NOW< OK WELL IM NOT SHOR WUT 2 SAY @BOUT TEH CRUDDY SYNTH IT R TEH HURT UV MY EARZ N CRUD< LIEK WAY 2 BR8K TEH RULZE UV MUZAK> NOT SHORE WUT 2 POZT BUT LIEK I GUESS DIZ IZNT TEH GUD ENOUG SO LIEK U GET A GNO

Hehe, Mideast beat. nice. Two main issues with this song: Length - way too short. 2:30. Just starts and stops. Hardly a song. Drums and main progression - Drums are ok, but not mastered well. They are weak and hollow. Main progression is pretty much the same as the original game song with some minor piano. I really like the improv stuff. Make this song twice as long, and work on varying up the progression and you'll get my vote. NO

Beat is really poor in the middle section. Use of drumloops makes everything fall apart. Interesting song. I really like the initial build up, however the drumloops kills the song from that point. The lead is exceedingly hollow and weak. This song could have used more movement for its style. Perhaps a stronger beat and faster. NO

Somehow, I got the opposite opinion of flamboyant Dan. I really liked the intro and it only got annoying once the detuned synths came on and repeated the basic melody. When techno comes into place, everything must become simple. Theres a lot of original material here, nevertheless. I like the piano improv sections. Cuts up what would otherwise be generic techno. Like the intro. Good job. YES

Exactly what the others said. No originality. Its as generic as it gets. This is just not what this site is about. NO

Piano doesn't follow keys and there is a general disorder of the instruments. Use something besides the harmonica at least. Some compression issues here. NO

We have pretty high standards for piano pieces. This is excellent as far as arrangement goes, but it fails in that it is way too artificial. After all, it is artificial. Piano songs should be played on a real piano, or at least be made to sound exactly like a real piano being played. Aside from that, I dont much like the octave chords and dissonance chords. Big issue is - try to get a live play and resubmit. NO

Whats the deal with every song of this kind following the same exact arrangement pattern? Is there like some program setting it up with fill in the blank melodic riffs? There are a lot of melodic issue thats should be addressed here. Lots of notes playing over into the next chord progression. Sound ugly. Aside from that, this is a simplistic dance rendition of the original without anything significantly different, so NO

HOLY CRAP This is awesome. 3 excellent remixes judged in a row. I'm all pumped now. This is just top notch, but should have been twice as long. Still, its completely solid starting and beginning so I have no problem giving it a YES

Wow, this is some real nice arrangement skills. I totally feel the zelda in this. Sample quality sounds juuuuuuuuuust fine to me. This is totally excellent stuff. a big YES here.

Binnie's right. Its the same as original. Please don't spc rip. NO

Vig is right. This is 5 minutes of repeating. Key changes is the most this song offers along with pretty cool percussion. Cut it up and make it more than a repeating monotonous track. NO

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS?????? HOLY CRAP, very impressive arrangement. YES

First half of the song is simple bass hits, then when the melody comes in, the percussion goes away. Then piano all by itself. This is extremely minimal. As vig said, there could have been far more going on here. Please make a full song out of this rather than a ghost of one. NO

Less than a minute simply wont get passed me, regardless of the quality. I don't consider anything under a minute to even be a song. Its just a gross lack of effort. NO

No need to reitterate what the others said, cause thats what I would say also. To add to that, this is like a deconstruction of the original - it sound exceedlingly worse and improves on no aspect at all... NO

Interesting stuff here. Real issue is that there are so many renditions of this song on this site. Anything new really has to show some impressive material. This is a well arranged, but very low quality remix. Most of the song follows the notes exactly from the origina. Beat doesn't change up much. A few nice bridges... Needs to be far better to justify putting another terra mix on OCR NO
