It doesn't sound terrible. In fact, I like the synth that plays the original tune from Star Fox. Great game, and it had some great music. :)
You can hear some realistic (non-acidy) VG-ish sounds in there too, but they're kind of quiet.
Normally I would probably vote low on something like this, but it uses a good tune, even if the synths don't flow well.

I haven't heard either mix, but here's my opinion.
I love the hihat you have between the bass and snare. It gives it a mechanical feeling. :)
The synth is pretty much normal for trance, but that's good. I also love the bass in the intro. I was hoping it would come back in later on, but it kept quiet for the rest of the song. :(
Make sure you keep working on this!! :P

Would work great as a flash menu theme for a racing game, I bet. :D
I love the loop of the guitar. It's really upbeat, and it reminds me of something you would hear in a stadium in the middle of a game of some sort.
If you're going to extend this, I would love to hear the beat completely breakdown right where the song ends :)
Keep it up!! :D

A woman holds her child as she sings a lullaby. It's bed time. A wolf yawns, and the child's eyes starts to droop. He smiles at his mother, and she returns the smile.
Finally, the child shuts his eyes, and the mother hugs him to her chest, while she looks up at the stars. Slowly, the mother lays down, still hugging her child to her chest. Her eyelids start to droop, and she smiles, before she finally falls asleep to the sound of the wolves yawning at the moon.
That's the impression I got from your song. :) Great work, it's fun to actually be able to feel music.

It was very well put together, and I thought the pad sounded great, as well as the main synth were very good.
The bass needed a lot more power to it, and the drums weren't the best. I liked the song, but it didn't really catch my attention the way Journey and Sytrus! did. It was a bit repetitive after about halfway through, too.
I'm trying to rate most of my favorite songs by you, and build my electronica library at the same time. Downloaded, and reviewed! :D
BTW, I learned a lot from the flstudios.blogspot you posted. Thanks for sharing the information! :D

Not bad for being new to the program. I think the drums need a lot of work, though it might just be because I don't like the genre those drums usually fit into.
The piano had a few out-of-key notes, and the choir was too quiet. I did enjoy the main tune, though :)
I would normally give this probably a 6/10 or 3/5, but 10 and 5 to help you get further. :)

You use the software like a pro. The song seemed a tiny bit loud (maybe just a tiny bit turned down would have been perfect), but besides that it had excellent balancing, and it's another perfect creation.
If you keep pouring out these, I might not have the time to keep up in listening! :D
Nice work!

Everything was done very well, and it sounded great, yeah yeah yeah. I've pretty much come to expect it from you now. :P
I love the atmosphere the song has at ~2:14, and the synth you use during that part, and how it blends through as the song starts to speed up.
The one thing I think could have sounded a lot better would be the part from 0:35 to 1:09. It's a little too hardcore compared to the rest of the song. Sure it sounds great, but I think your song would do better if you had toned it down a tiny bit. Perhaps decrease the volume of the kick and off-beat bass, and increase the string/pad's volume, since it has a really cool atmosphere to it.
~Just another fan. :P

:35 - 1:09 got kinda weird. I'm not as happy with it as I could be. I also like to see if I can blend genres I dunno why but it always ends up happening. Glad you enjoyed it thanks for the review.

It's very repetitive, and the drums don't fit in well. It's also way too ambient.
You need some more depth to the song, like another synth, and stronger/louder drums. I did like the tune you had there, but it became uninteresting quick.
The bass was alright. Not good, or bad.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review :). My synth and the programs I use are all freeware so I can't get too good of a sound...
About the drums, I didn't know what to do for them so i just tried bass with hihat, so I suppose it's alright. I tried to keep the tune interesting, by changing the harmonics, but I'm no good at build up, so I wasn't sure where to fit in another instrument.
