I'm still laughing my head off this is great.

Your patience and efforts definitely paid off. Very well done, and maybe BDX will finally agree that your improving this time around.
Your animation skills have managed to improve, as the movement and details are more fluid and polished, yet you have not heavily altered the familiar style. You're also getting more creative with the action.
I was glad to help. : D

Jonbro, you are totally right for making this. I won't butcher your score for poor animation/sound quality since I know that wasn't your focus in this. You wanted to send a point across and for one night's worth of work you did a great job.
And as for you Mr Paperbat, you need to seriously evalute the shit you and your cohorts are doing. If you're doing it "just for fun", then keep your twisted definition of fun out of the portal.
On top of that, its a sad truth that the general audience overlooks most things that aren't sprites or 'awesome movies'. The fact that you and the others exploit this for status and merit is absolutely sick. You're no better than the movie making robots that milk cashcow actors for more money. You have no appreciation for art and you're nothing better than a conveyor belt spilling out shells of garbage. You and the rest of that lot.
If you want to do something meaningful then try making a movie that goes against the tide, something that appeals to the handful of intelligent folk out there. That's what artists do.
If you have any dignity left in you then you'll quit Sprite-A-Day.
I applaud the Kitty Krew's noble efforts.
Jonbro, you quoted well. "You cannot rush art."

The first Rayman game really was the only good one. Loved the music and backgrounds, and this is one of my favorite songs. Excellent re-imagined remix of the original. The new instruments really surprised me and flowed perfectly with each mood the melody takes you through.

Jeez man, after learning a lead like this there's so much you could do with it. You should've evaluated the song carefully and seen what kind of awesome remix-type stuff could go with the melody. All in all the song is terribly boring and the piano has a detuned effect which is driving me crazy. Good job though, I know how hard it is to try remixing songs on your own (I assume you didn't use a midi...?). And try adding some drums, that would seriously spruce this up.
Good luck for the future. Diamond Dust Zone was one of my all time favorite Sonic songs too.
Author's Response:
Sorry you didn't enjoy the piano, it was hard work. Drums are a bitch to use, espicially with the FPC, which is all I have to work with. I make some covers with drums, but I mostly keep them out because of the overall difficulty of them.
Midis are evil. I don't use them.
Thanks for your review.

I compose music like this all the time, but keep them to myself. Wonder how far they'd go if I submitted them... Oh right, your song. Well, I do a lot of crazy classical/techno mash ups, so I know where I'm coming from when I say this song rules. I honestly think you could fix some of your levels (the leads are a bit too loud compared to the rest of the awesomeness). On the whole this is more unique than your old fashioned techno-classical. Definitely has a style I look for in songs. Good job, keep up this kinda thing.
