I liked the slow beginning. The solo piano served as a kind of "remember this?" sort of thing, then it explodes into craziness! Hahaha.
I love this song! I knew it as Korobushka/Korobeiniki before I even heard it on Tetris (I never really got into Tetris that much...). So of course I love when it is made into something as cool as this!

The next thing I was going to do was do Gerudo Valley with Sitar, Bouzouki, , Tar, Saz, and Acoustic Guitar! Good job though, except I dodn't like some of the harmonies, but maybe thats just my taste, haha

Hahahaha! I started laughing when I saw that and then heard the music! The ridiculousness of a giant space-god starfish playing off the beauty and sadness of The Ballad of the Windfish is genius! I just wish it were longer.

Ive never heard the original song, but I like this one. The balance sounds pretty good, and I like the sounds used.

Thanks for the comment! This is an unreleased track, so there are not much people who know about this. I just saw it on YouTube some time ago and thought a remix of this theme would be cool.
I'm scared there's a person that gives my latest uploads the worst rating, no matter how it sounds, so don't wonder about the low score.

... and I don't know if it fits your original song concept, but you could add a nice swingin' tom beat with some hi-hat or something. If not that, more of a driving bassline like Achmarin said; just something to make it less repetitive, and something to make it "pop" I guess < something our band director would always say.
Nice job though

Thanks! I may make a better version at some point. As I said before, I was going to update it, but I lost the midi files before I could.
Thanks for the review.

Due to the title I couldn't help but picture a montage of the events in The Hobbit in my head, hahaha. It sounds a little scratchy though, but maybe thats my computer, I dunno...

I like the different sounds used, especially the rain stick thing, or whatever kind of shaker thing that is. The whole thing reminds me of something that should be in an intense Donkey Kong game, haha. I usually hate pieces that fade out, but I think this one is the type that is ok. I don't think its absolutely necessary to add more, I like it the way it is actually. And bongos are great! but I'm more of a doumbek/toumbeleki fan myself, haha, but bongos are what this piece needs, great job!

Thanks for the review.
I love the rain stick thingamabob too, I am a percusionist, so I tried to include as many different tribal instruments as possible. It worked out pretty well.
I appreciate that this isn't your genre as such, but you still liked it.
Donkey Kong? Could be!
