I've never heard the original, but this version is great. It almost has a haunting quality to it at some parts, which is interesting since it's a puppet film song. My only complaint is that the guitar synth isn't as good as the synth you used in the first half of the song.
Thank you for making such an addicting song, I keep on returning to hear it! Also, I've heard a bunch of your other songs and even used two of them in my game Two Rooms. Check it out if you haven't already.

Thanks! :) What guitar synth are you talking about, though? Videogame lead =/= guitar

Sorry, but there's too much distortion on that lead instrument and the drums are annoying. Maybe its not my style, but this just isn't pleasant to the ears.

I just love the melodies you throw into all of your songs. The string piece in the middle is amazing, reminding me of the band Hybrid.
Great work
Author's Response:
Haha actually hybrid has been one of my faviourite bands since i was 14. i even got the games they made exclusive tracks for, just to own everything they ever made T_T today im not as into them as i was, but i still love them and they still place in the top 20 of all time faviourite bands/artists. so i cant deny inspiration from those awesome guys. :D thanks!

Out of nowhere I decided to check out your recent music (if you're wondering I wrote a review for Galactic Crunch).
The piano melody you have is a great intro which really sets the tone for this very solemn and chill track. The drums are also very good, including the transition sequence which is much better than in the other song I reviewed a while ago. My only complaint is that there is too much empty noise at the end. Great song though, obviously you have improved since my other review.
Author's Response:
Oh man, I forgot to take out the empty space at the end! haha, I'll try to get that done very soon. Thanks for pointing that out haha and thanks for the review man, it's good to hear positive feedback.

Remember the puzzle game music thread a couple of days ago, well my brother petwoip (he made the thread) and I decided that your song would fit quite well in our game - and yeah, even better than those multi-thousand downloaded songs you listed. You have a great song here, the clarity is especially amazing! I've had the chance to browse through your other songs too and most of them sound really cool. In fact, I've even downloaded some of them, which I don't do often.
Our game should be finished before September, and I promise you it will be good. In the meantime, maybe you can check out some of my songs.
Author's Response:
cool, its awesome to hear you guys liked it so much! Now I'm really excited for your game!
Thanks for reviewing :D

I know I've already reviewed the first "I'd Rather Be Flying", but I must say that this is better for a combination of small reasons. Overall the sound feels much fuller than the first (it fills my whole speaker spectrum). This probably has to do with different pads and background synths, and maybe even the drums. The improved sound quality and mastering makes it a more enriched listening experience.
Now, I once said that I'd use your song Call_me in a flash game, but I'm probably not going to. However, I think this would fit in my newest game which should be done by the time school comes around. By the way, I know what its like to lose years of songs because of a hard drive crash. It happened to me about 2 years ago and the whole thing made me break away from my old account sebby_man.
And one last thing, I'd appreciate it if you checked out my song Ethnic Chill or my newest one, Mansion.
Author's Response:
The crash definitely sucked bigtime, but I've recovered quite a bit of what I once had; I was lucky enough to have a lot of it backed up. Thanks for cranking the tunes and comparing this with the old version - I wasn't getting a lot of feedback.
Good luck with the game making, and I'll totally check out your song.

At first I was a bit afraid that this song wouldn't turn out that great because of the somewhat slow beginning. Yet I listened on and enjoyed it, especially the chorus. The transition instrument wasn't a great choice and other parts of the song were shaky, but good stuff overall. Oh yeah, and its nice to here that you use Reason (I heard it in the One2 drums).
Check out my newest song too.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the great review. I got a lot of tips and yes those are the One2 drums, good ear! I'll check out your track.

Perfectly mastered trance. I just love the part that comes at 2:24 at builds up. That part especially is very uplifting. Like someone else said, the whole song is quite powerful.
I must say, your steadily becoming one of my favorite NG artists (also you submit often which is good!!) Mind checking out my newest song??

I'll head on over there! YAY!

I forgot to mention this in your other song but it applies here - you NEED to find stronger drums, especially the kick. Bass was a bit too loud, try to tone that down. I did like the feel of the song though. I really think you have lots of potential but somewhat weak instruments are getting in your way.
Oh, and is this song supposed to have some anarchist message or something?? Just wondering.
Author's Response:
yea, its supposed to have a governmental message
in the beginning its soft words spoken by the gov't that indicate bad things to happen; then the reality is the hardness of the guitar after the pause
and the retarded ending shows future demise and how we arent doing anything to stop a bad future from comming
