• "Review – Spark Man stage music" (by voltcatfish, 23 Aug 2004) [8/10]
  Hi. It’s voltcatfish again. I am writing a review for the Sparkman stage music this time around.
  
  Here’s the review, file by file:
  
  1. Sparkman27kb: Fantastic! Correct tempo, right notes, no distortions, a lot of fun!
  This is one of the best ones in here!! I can’t say enough good things about it.
  voltcatfish’s rating: A+
  
  2. Sparkman_Advanced: Another clear winner. It is slightly different, yet it is still awesome. The use of the xylophone as the countermelody instrument was a nice touch! I like it…I like it a lot. It is truly advanced and worth the download!
  voltcatfish's rating: A+
  
  3. Sparkman – Good midi, but the crystal shimmer in the background in the beginning of each go-round sounds distorted and it’s too loud, and the “Dooh” is missing, but other than that, it’s very cool. The drums are just like in the game, and the notes are correct and the tempo is, too. This one’s a keeper.
  voltcatfish's rating: B+
  
  4. Sparkman6969 – I like the tempo, but the lead instrument (I think it’s a shanai), has got to be changed! Except for the lead instrument’s melody, the midi is solid and sounds great!
  voltcatfish's rating: B+
  
  5. sparkman-1 – Yeah, baby!! This is another of the crème de la crème in this folder. This midi includes the “Dooh!” sound that so many forget to include. Solid midi! I love it!!
  voltcatfish's rating: A+
  
  6. sparkman(2) – This midi is OK, but not great. It’s low-key and subdued, just enough to get the job done. Decent but not dynamic like I’m used to.
  voltcatfish's rating: B
  
  7. sparkmm3 – it sounds good at first, but then all the instruments sound like one flat piece. There are no drums, no “Dooh”, and many other annoying discrepancies taint the potential of this midi. The job done on this midi needs more work.
  voltcatfish's rating: D
  
  8. xgmm3sm – This one’s decent. It is very dark and ominous-sounding, different but cool. The title doesn’t tell you that it’s Spark Man’s theme at all, though, but this midi’s cool nonetheless, except for the annoying cut-off ending – that I hate, but all in all, a keeper!
  voltcatfish's rating: B+
  
  9. mm3spar2 – I like this midi. It is obvious that the drums are the showcased instrument here, and it’s a bit subdued in the feel of the song, but it is cool, and the “Dooh!” is included, the tempo is correct, and the notes are accurate and clean. I call it a winner.
  voltcatfish's rating: A
  
  10. MM3SPARK – Decent midi, if oversimplified. It is a piano-based lead melody, and the drums are just enough to keep the song going, but some beats are missing in key spots (I play the drums, so I notice these things). All in all, this midi is OK, but it's not my favorite.
  voltcatfish's rating: B
  
  11.sprkmn(c-mix) – This midi’s got potential, but it has many inaccuracies that make it annoying to listen to. First, the melody in the beginning part has incorrect notes, and it sounds choppy and unorganized in some spots. The cut-off at the end is abrupt and annoying as well - you don't even get all of the last note! All in all, as midis go, it’s got potential, but it needs a lot of work.
  voltcatfish's rating: C
  
  I hope that helps. All of these reviews are my own opinion of the tracks, and you may differ in your opinion, but I am just giving an honest review, so enjoy! - voltcatfish

• "Mega Man 3 - Magnet Man midis" (by voltcatfish, 23 Aug 2004) [9/10]
  Hi. It's voltcatfish again. I am now going to write a review of the Mega Man 3 Magnetman Midis in the Zip archive, file by file. I've always loved the Magnetman theme, and it's an honor to do this. Don't worry, the review on each file will be short, sweet, and to the point. So, here we go!
  
  Mega_Man_3_-_Magnet_Man: Simply divine. Very cool, all the right notes in the right places, with the right tempo, and the drums are done correctly.
  voltcatfish's rating: A+
  
  MM3Magnet_Man: Decent. Not the absolute best version I've ever heard, but very solid and nicely done.
  voltcatfish's rating: B+
  
  mm3-Magnet-Man: Classic-sounding mix, almost identical to the one in the game. True to form, no fancy stuff added, just a simple piano melody and an additional piano harmony track with bass and drums. Whoever made this one took their time and did it right - no haphazard mixing here. The length of the song is justlong enough without being overwhelming, and it sounds just right! Sometimes less really is more.
  voltcatfish's rating: A+
  
  mm3magnt: It sounds OK, but it missing some notes in some places, a bit funky-sounding, as the countermelody sounds a bit screwy in some parts, so it's not the best one in the package, but the melody is solid and it has potential. It does, however, need some tweaking.
  voltcatfish's rating: B
  
  mm_3magnt: Now this one is better, sounds just like mm3-Magnet-Man, classic, piano-based, solid, and good! The countermelody piano is a bit louder than on the other one mentioned above, which makes it sound even better. All in all, no complaints here!
  voltcatfish's rating: A+
  
  MM3Magnet_Man: It's OK, but the choice of Distortion Guitar for the track wasn't the best choice. It took me a while to to find the problem, but the Distortion Gutar is it. I tried an Overdriven guitar instead of the Distortion Guitar in my Midi2WAV recorder program as a substitute, and it sounds much better. Except for that, the track is great. Solid tempo, nothing offbeat, proper drum sequence, just change the guitar and you're fine!
  voltcatfish's rating: B+
  
  Magnetman: Not too shabby. Nice hyperactive mix, but the choice of instruments (namely the contrabass and the synth bass 2) weren't the best choices - try overdriven guitar and synth bass 1 - now that sounds cool! Outside of that, all is great, with the proper tempo, right notes, and the vibraphone is a nice touch! With the changes, it's an A+, but my rating without my changes is below.
  voltcatfish's rating: B
  
  Magomega: What kind of title is that? I had to play it just to make sure it was a Magnetman MIDI. The good news is that the title is pretty much the only thing wrong with this one. It's a simple, yet extremely tight, trumpet and clarinet mix, which go very well together. Nice mix, and the fade instead of the abrupt end is a really nice change of pace!!
  voltcatfish's A+
  
  DG_MM3_Magnetman: I've truly saved the best one for last (Mainly because I forgot the name of it). This one blew me away. This is by far one of the best ones in the bunch (if not the best), aside from those already mentioned. It's a little different - the writer took some liberty with the track, and it's clearly their own interpretation of the song, but what a great version of the classic song!! Tight meoldy, great mix of instruments (Vibraphone, Acoustic Grand Piano, Brass Section, Orchestral Harp, String Ensemble 1, Synth Voice, Lead 2 (Sawtooth), Synth Bass 1, Standard Midi Drums (of course), and Pad 2 (warm) - this guy went all out!! I have one and only one complaint - it's too short! Another time all the way through would have been great, but just plain WOW otherwise!! You can guess what my rating for this one is:
  voltcatfish's rating: A++
  
  voltcatfish's overall rating of all the Magnetman tracks in this zip file: A (It would be an A+, except for those 2 B-rated tracks - the B+ rated ones are close enough to an A rating that they wouldn't take away from the overall rating).
  
  I hope that helps. All of these reviews are my own opinion of the tracks, and you may differ in your opinion, but I am just giving an honest review, so enjoy! - voltcatfish
