[They Live: The Game - Level music (all outta bubblegum)]

This track was so perfect for the game!
Sounds like something John Carpenter would compose if he collaborated with Anamanaguchi or something. Totally nails the vibes of the film's soundtrack while bringing in some great chiptune style.

Genclops responds:

Much appreciated!

[Ninja Girl]

Nice! I like the beat, it's got a simple driving beat which is perfect for rapping, and the chorus sounded great.
I liked the lyrics, but the vocals didn't really do anything for me. They seemed low quality and out of place. I also don't think the rappers had much flow, and any attempt at creating harmonies seems like it fell flat on it's face.

ChandlerThompson responds:

I can see where you're coming from with the vocals being out of place, we'll definitely work on that in the future! I appreciate the down-to-earth review.

[Channel Surfing]

Well, this didn't really come off as Metal, or Indie Rock... but It was upbeat and had a nice kind of trance/trip hop vibe to it. Gives me a bit of a Gorillaz vibe. Not sure if that's what you were going for.

It's a bit simple, but a well made track overall.

ChandlerThompson responds:

I'll definitely take a Gorillaz vibe, I appreciate it! Thanks for reviewing buddy.

[Theme of Arbon]

Nice! The backbeat reminds of something out of Toejam & Earl.
Then it slowly goes in all of these crazy directions, yet it doesn't go too crazy, and still keeps it's musical tone. Pretty cool stuff.
However, for the slow buildup, I kinda wish it was longer than it was, or I at least wish it would loop better.

kcpm responds:

I pretty much agree. I might've just decided to drop the idea. I might try and rework it for a loop!

[Pac-Man (Techno Remix)]

awesome

it's got a nice style to it, and it highlighted all of the best parts of pac-man.
the best parts were where you remixed all of the sound effects to go with the beat.

I do think maybe you focused too much on the opening jingle throughout it.
it'd be better if you focused more on the remixing of the sound effects, which really was the best part of the whole thing. also, it doesn't loop very well, and doesn't have a very good ending.

otherwise, very cool stuff. 4/5

Kyeber responds:

Thanks!

[Shadow Warrior]

I like it

it'd be great for anybody doing a ninja or samurai flash... did you by any chance get any inspiration from the old FPS game "shadow warrior"?

Dj-Rec0il responds:

yeah that would be cool and yes i got a bit of inspiration from shadow warrior but the most of the inspiration did i get from shinobu! peac out m8
