A wonderful homage to beach boys style surf / rocknroll. So much of this sounds right. The whistling, the guitar tone, drums. Fun fun fun track. Great job on this.
Production notes: I’d have brought the hats/ride down like 1db but I think that’s about it.

Very surf. Drums sound kinda thin for this style, the guitar performance is good but the way it’s mixed is kinda off for me, it sounds a biiit twangier than what I’d like. Organ is great. Vocals are AWESOME. Performance has classic rock and roll stamped all over it, my absolute favorite part is the responding vocal harmonies, they add so much charm and personality to the arrangement. Biggest gripe is this needs some louder and harder drums, not that this needs some djent metal snare or anything, but a good drum sound can elevate the grooviness so much more. Great guitar solo with spot on tone. THANK YOU VERRRRY MUCH.

The commitment here is off the charts! Taken out of context, no one would be able to tell this is video game music. And just for that, I’d slide right. But more than a just a retro homage, the sound quality and vocal performance are amazing. That little guitar solo was great too.

Love that surf rock vibe we come in here, drums are well balanced, and all instrumentation flows nicely. Really good work with the vocals, backing vocals help add that extra punch and are balanced enough to be behind the lead vocals. A true Beach Boys vibes on this. Guitar solo is very nice, good clean 50s style tone.

Very nearly took the first-place heart award from Gitaroo because of pure nostalgia – I LOVE Rhythm Heaven and I adore this track too. A novelty track like this was never designed to win everyone’s votes (See Dr. Frankenfurter again) but you’ve won my heart, WHOEVER YOU ARE.

Aww, I love this <3 The vocals are perfect for the style you’re emulating, and the harmonies are sublime. I’m trying to pinpoint my feelings on the mixdown – it’s clean, but feels too clean, like a lot of elements could use an extra dose of reverb/delay/slapback to help give them a more distinguished sense of place. I know that production decisions in this era were often limited by hardware capabilities, but what I’m hearing feels odd in a way that doesn’t quite scan as intentional. I still love this to death.
