Re: [Supertuxkart-devel] More music by me

[Paul E. <pa...@up...>]

Hi,
 
I saw your email and put it to one side so I could give your tracks a proper listen as I am quite a fan of this type of music.  I have now had a listen (and a couple of drinks :)) so take all I say as personal opinion only. :)  (Please know that I am not a musician, I like music and sometimes have an opinion on it :) I can not do what you do, but I do know what I like :), so don't take any criticism personally)

OK, I like the tempo and love the opening beat, it then goes downhill in my opinion, I would prefer a more upbeat tempo to the organ notes in the first bit.  After that  it is quite good but a little short/ends too suddenly.

Not sure about this one, it is certainly better than some of the music that is currently in 0.4 (less repetitive), but it is not particularly catchy to me..

I quite like this as it has more depth than a lot of the music already in 
STK, and as a result is far more interesting and less repetitive.

Funky!!, If Tux was in a seventies cop show this would be the theme tune!  Again, more depth to the music, I like it It is certainly better than some of the music already in the game.

Yes, I like it, again more depth and not as repetitive as some of the stuff we have got.  I like the wind sounds at the end.

I like the drippy echo, as you say it suits the sub sea track.  very atmospheric, but not sure it is quite right tempo wise, as you say.  I would still put it in though.

I would like to see more music in the game, and as everyone may want different music I feel we should at the very least make a selection of music tracks available for each track and allow users the opportunity to skip a track they don't like?  It would obviously be great if we could have different music packs available (as has been suggested previously), but we don't at present have a huge choice of music.
