Oh my goodness gracious.

This falls into the very short list of songs I've laughed out loud listening to.

Why haven't I heard this before?

Your music is inspirational to me. And this is the most upbeat song I've heard from you. It feels like I just finished a long journey to walk through a gate into one of the most enormous and mystifying carnivals ever. Everything fits. This needs a score much higher than 2/5.

cazok responds:

Yeah well the NG audio portal isn't really the best place for a serious composer.
I'm sad to say I'm done composing for NG artists :(
Thanks for your comments though!

I really like this.

The chords, the pace, the simplicity, they all complement each other very well.

The only reason this is a 9 and not a 10 is that I keep feeling like it's missing something. I think if the song was, say, twice as long, and the second half of the song had a slightly different tone and mood from the first, it would keep the wonderfully tranquil feel but give more emotional variety. Or something like that. I don't know how to describe what I mean.

Still, nice job.

I am leaving a review! :D

This is a pretty smooth song but could probably be improved in a few areas.
Your old version of On the Clouds "flows" better than this version (though this version is still superior); this one seems to have more changes in volume and less easing notes. The tune here doesn't change a whole lot, aside from its instruments and their pitches. And, like you said, the song also could use some more flute!

While you did write this theme eight years ago, I think I'll have to give this an 8 for the above reasons. But it's still a good song!

PuffballsUnited responds:

I guess I did notice it felt like it jumped a bit more than the older version. I liked the changing in volume though, but I guess I noticed the easing.

Thanks for your review, and I forgot to mention thanks for the special thanks in your song. (That's a lot of thanks in one sentence :P)

This is so gosh darn fun to listen to.

It's catchy, full of variety, and the instruments fit wonderfully together. The three main things I look for in music. Sure, it's not perfect. But I think it's close enough for a 10/10.

I hope you do get around to making this game.

Sounds kinda like something you'd hear in Metroid Prime. Each part of the song fits the feelings you described (neutral, heat, cold, rain, wind), and one of the most important parts of game music is having the music fit the mood and setting of the game. For example, I don't know exactly where the 'blistering winds' part of the song would take place, but just by the way it sounds, it seems likely it'd be a desert theme filled with sandstorms. Each part has atmosphere and most of the song has a beat. I can definitely see the song changing depending on what part of the weather department you're in.

If I were going to give criticism, I'd say it feels like the cold section of the song was meant to feel icy and fairly empty, but the notes were a bit basic for my liking. Maybe a slight echo or reverb(?) after each note, plus an occasional chord, might provide the same feel you were going for without being too plain.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Yeah, I'm still learning about FL so I don't quiiite know how to do reverb/echoes yet. I did figure out how to do pitch bending and I even improved my mastering.

As I'm listening...

...my hair is standing straight up.

The atmosphere is just chilling. It's like sharp, solid ice. Illogical peaceful anxiety. I can't really describe it any better than that. Nicely done.

ProudOne responds:

Thank you! I experienced alot that with sharp, high tones and contrasting bass, the effect on people is goosebumping ;D

Perfect.

This is EXACTLY what I wanted. It's amazing that you did this in just two days. I didn't expect wacky time signatures but they worked really well, and the whole song has just the right feel. It made me grin ear to ear.

cazok responds:

I'm so glad that you liked it :)
My head has been spinning around for plausible circus-themes for 48 hours straight, so I'm glad that it wasn't in vain. (My brain hurts XD)

Really looking forward to see the game when it comes out!
-Cazok-

This has such a fantastic beat.

Would it be too much to ask to have the lyrics to this song?

That was freaking awesome.

Very impressive a capella. It actually sounded good. And the lyrics worked well with the song, including just about every amusement in the insane park that I can think of. Though it would be nice if the lyrics were easier to hear because sometimes the other sounds got too loud to hear them. And it seemed to get really fast all of a sudden at "take a big o' bite from Big Al's Burgers" but it might be because I didn't hear the whole line.

I still like this a lot :)
