For my next choice, “I Am Impact” from Mystical Ninja Goemon on Nintendo 64. This was one of my favorite video games growing up—you could unlock a menu that allowed you to play all the music from the game! There are a lot of huge winners in this game’s OST, one of my favorites being “Kai Highway.” Ultimately, though, it was always “I Am Impact” that was my biggest ear worm. With its over-the-top instrumentation, high energy, goofy vocals and lyrics, I was humming this almost everyday as a kid. The source material is fairly simple, but there is so much that can be done with it! I look forward to hearing all of your beautiful voices!

 

“I Am Impact” can be found at 23:44. I am on mobile and away from my computer and will provide a MIDI file either tomorrow or the next day.

Everyone has to sing ?? this will be fun!

*Glances at headset's microphone* ? This is a professional piece of equipment, right?? I can just click "record" in FL studio and it'll magic my voice into the music, right? Can I even pronounce Japanese??? I may need to find a karaoke version...

Ok so i've finally managed to get around to listening to these. Let's take it from the top:

Souperion - Nice Euro vibes in this one, very much feels like it belongs in a racing game. To be the fair the original was a bluesy song. I don't think anyone has incorporated the vocals to the mix yet lol, but i think that's the humour of the source. Great drums, very nice electronica feels, melody was tight too. I love how vibrant and energetic it sounds, definately belongs in a racing game. Big fan of the synths here. The only critique i have is, that there are moments where it get's a bit too intense, specifically in the drums. I feel like they're could be a little less drum usage in certain areas, maybe make it more of a simple 4/4, than going all out in the fills. I love me some heavy music, but for a source like this, i feel like it could do with a breakdown or two. The whole thing was super nice though, the sound effects towards the end was CRAZY. Definately some super enjoyable production, you did a great job on this, well done!

Wassup Thunder - Another Eurobeat tune, it almost feels like you were feeding off each other lol. This would have actually made it really hard to vote for either of you guys, since both are pretty much the same genre lol. I will admit, i do like the melody work in this one a lot, really great synth usage. Really adds a lot of cool touches to the track. The fills in this one are more pronounced too i really like it a lot. The pitch slide (Almost like a guitar slide), gets way too loud for me. I can't tell if it's a guitar, sounds like a Theremin. Ending was awesome, loved that tid-bit, of having a crash followed by the victory theme, ton of fun. So far i'm having little to talk about in this round, because both tracks are very similar, (and are also well produced), but if i have to be honest, i prefer Souperions over yours, but i think it's because the drums are more thicker in that track, compared to this. However this one was a ton of fun, and very well produced. Well done!

studionimbus.org -  Very sweet guitar effects, loving the chorus, reverb and delay on the whole thing. Really digging the live aspect of this, it's a real band with real instruments. The fill into the main guitar riff was sweet. Didn't expect you to actually sing the song lol, massive props to that. I love your take on this, it's very much a rock band cover, compared to the orchestral pop original. The main critiques i have in this remix mostly stems from mixing and your voice. First your voice is very dry, i would sub some reverb in there. Also i feel the drums could do with being a little bit more powerful, more often than not, they get lost into the mix, especially for a track this rocking. Other than that though, your guitar licks were beautiful, i loved your playing. I also love that you actually attempted to sing this thing, i didn't think you would actually do that, awesome on that part. The whole thing was super enjoyable to listen to, great ideas. Well done!
