What the PC Engine scene is missing...

This track needs to be smacked around a bit! The choir is NICE, but subdued. Crank it up a little

My opinion, clearly only worth 2 cents (at most):

For me, the choir version is a straight-forward "cover" of the original and lacks all the fun (playfulness) & energy of your original (sssdrumtest).

The lead synths in nowwithmoarchoir are "truer" to the original tune... but...

I say: instead of being conservative, go a little crazy, even gratuitous, with at least one element in your new version. You don't have to necessarily change your lead synth if you mess around with other elements.

For example, I think it would be neat if you were heavy-handed with the chorus... ALTERNATIVELY ...to draw more attention to the choir, drop the levels of other tracks/instruments.

That said, I just want to say that I love what you are doing, regardless of what my own personal tastes dictate. ;)

I will reiterate the 'do whatever you want'; both versions are cool but I like the second a little better

lol. wonder what other songs could use a good synthin'

Deep Blue!

That's weird, it sounds like there are 2 tunes playing at the same time.

Yeah, it sounds like a really really long delayed echo.  I just recorded it with Audacity, but maybe I accidentally did something to it.

If you are feeling creative, experiment with one of Veigues' wonderfully minimalist, futuristic tunes.

I have also ranted about the glories of Dragon Spirit's and Legendary Axe's soundtracks.

I have always loved CyberCore's tunes (lamenting the fact that they are so goddamned short).

ANY CyberCore tune would be great, but let it go for at least 2 minutes!

And, I know it is predictable, but in Bonk's Adventure, all the songs are amazing, but I feel you could really do something with  "Cave Music" (Underground) -- all that bass and suspense should be fun to play with. Ending credits, Castle 2, Castle 3, dear Lord this game has great music.

Also for Bonk's Adventure:
The "Bonus Stage" and the "Secret Room" tunes -- they are too short, perhaps you can work some majik and add some synth solo to them?

I won't even mention JJ & Jeff...
