ReMix:Cave Story "Moon Rhapsody" 4:55

Man, it is so nice to hear woodwinds in a remix. I think the lo-fi synths sound a little robotic, which is jarring given the lovely strings and woodwinds, but the general "vibe" is good enough that I can easily overlook it. I love the lead violin that comes in, but I wish it was there more, because it's just so pretty!

Cave Story's yet another game I haven't played, hence the lack of critique about the usage of the melody in question. :S Sorry!

That flute 3

A lovely piece that starts off calm and becomes inspiring.

This is so charming. If you know what is the final cave like, you understand how awesome this sounds after some fucking difficulties. Doug and his mother just nailed this feeling of... calm after the storm (or something like this ) This is very emotive arrangement. Drums feel so soft and bass is pretty good too. But live instruments like viola, violin and flute made it a bit more than perefct. Great work!

I love this remix already. It really does maintain the atmosphere throughout, and you did a great job with everything. The instrumentation choices, I think, were perfect. Probably, the only thing that might have been changed is the panning on some parts (bass synth melody?) and some volume levels, as mentioned before. Thank you.

Our first mix from Mr. Doug. The opening ambient SFX was great. The pure tone of the synth juxtaposes quite nicely! The quirky drum beat creates a great vibe. The bass chuggs along pretty well in there. The strings are a little electronic-y for me, but they add a nice touch. Love the oboe tho. The slow breakdown section is great and brings in a great dynamic change. The marcato strings are a little slow in attack, but it's not a deal break at all. The LIVE violin is gorgeous. So much so that my wife just leaned over and asked me, "Is that from the Spanglish soundtrack?" Congrats on that ! This is a very minimalist piece in a lot of ways, but it still has lots of movement. I really like it. Doug's drumming ability has never been in question, and he finds the perfect balance here. Awesome work!

Awesome in it's own rights, very enjoyable

This is a good song.

It's a little muddy because Doug LOVES those lows so much, but the composition is amazing, and even moreso than that, full of soul and love for the source material. You can really tell.

Wow very good site to find lyrics soundtracks, and games, fantastic. congratulations for the post

I don't know why this one doesn't have the same number of reviews as some of the other OCR classics, I really think this piece is amazing. Every instrument is handled with care, but the drums, violin, and flute really feel natural and harmonious to me. My only complaint is that the violin feels mixed really loudly, it's kind of startling!

I personally think this is Doug's best-written and best-executed song, I'm glad the judges hassled him about certain aspects to get this one as good as it is today. One of my favorites and it pains me to see this one only have a few pages of reviews.

Very enchanting, and great use of woodwinds. I loved the woodwinds, especially the oboe. You're introduction of the violin at 2:52 was smashing. The chimes at the end was a nice touch.

My fav Cave story mix. I really love this mix its just so relaxing.

I wish the drums were a little forward in the mix, as they are really tasteful and groovin, but otherwise this is good stuff. Nice live instruments, some cute track cameos that aren't too obvious, and a great written bass part. Some excellent drum fills near the end as well.

Ending was ever so slightly abrupt, but throughout, this is a very classy arrangement.

Beautiful arrangement, good changeups throughout and classy use of live instruments, synths, and samples. Great drum programming too (though, what do you expect with that kind of name?). This should've been on my playlist earlier.

If the violin took a bigger role throughout the whole thing, this would be on my playlist forever. If you don't intend to do another work like that, at least edit this one use more of the other instruments that only briefly appeared.

Damn, that violin at 2:50 is great. Sends shivers down my spine, alas only for a short time. This mix could have used a little more energy, and both flute as well as violin can deliver that.

So yeah, nice song, but more POWER next time, plz. And more violin.
