Well worked
One of Mr. Jackson's best tunes and it's been remastered well. I like the way that you've fit your own vocals to the tune.
I'm not sure about the high sounding vocals, as it goes about half an octave too high for my liking, which makes all the difference.
Given this minor issue, you've still produced a top quality tune, that I could certainly come back and listen to over and again.

Good Length & Variation
This song sounds nice for some sort of futuristic bar tune in certain game situations. It's worth throwing in, maybe slightly quieter, just to give that certain feel or a few 'more plesant' aliens occupying the place.
I like the fact that you've given some good thought to this song - it really helps to broaden the scope of the song out and actually make it into a nicely sized tune.

thank you!
Nice Harps
This piece is nicely played - a new version of an instant classic, which I have played the original game for. It sounds so quiet and peaceful at the start, only to experience the epic undertones, showing how dark and perilous the journey ahead will probably become.
This is a wonderful piece, complete with nice variations between instruments - the tubular bells were a wonderful addition around the 2 minute mark. Subtle additions played their parts as well nicely.

Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed.
Really needs to be longer
It doesn't loop, so there is a really fall down in the way this tune works. 14 Seconds doesn't make a good tune, so concentrate on maybe expanding with a broader sense of what these barbarians have done to warrant such a theme.
Warriors don't plunder evil kingdoms, they may sack the place and reduce it to a pile of smoking rubble, or add it to their growing empire, but they don't plunder - it's a nasty word to use :P

I promise you it loops perfectly! I'm listening to it over and over again and can't figure out what's wrong with it, so if you or an another reviewer listens to it and can tell me more specifically whats wrong it looping wise, that'd be great. Unless you want all the instruments to keep on playing I guess I see what you mean, but i didn't find that necessary, as the brass ends on a resolving chord, and the violins have a subtonic note leading back into the tonic. I know that probably doesnt make sense, but I cant think of any other way to explain it :P there's also a natural extra silence with mp3 files, but I can't fix that.
I agree on length, fair criticism, but loops are helpful for flash games.
I thought plunder meant "to sack a place and reduce it to a pile of smoking rubble" hmmm I look into better word choice haha :P
Thanks for the review!
Interesting...
You said in a previous response that it was Alternative Rock. Isn't there a section for that, rather than in Indie, as most Indie that I've listened to has lyrics that you can understand. Anyway, aside from that, I can understand them well enough, so I don't know what the issue was there.
Anyway, this is a decent song, sending a message across about the futility of the world in general. That's how life is, I'm afraid. Let's move on and talk about the tune itself - it's a quite simple riff on the keyboard, which keeps looping throguh the song, with a basic sounding guitar backing. I think that it's got a little samey through the tune, as you don't even give us an instrumental, which is a great chance to take the instruments away from the vocals and show us what they are capable of.

They don't have a section for alt. rock, they really should.
And thanks
You tell me
I'd expect you to know what your intentions are for taking this further, not ask me for inspiration, by this point of your career!
Is this some sort of intermission tune that you've come up with? It seems like it and the only thing I would change about that particular aspect of it is to increase the length, for more variation / experimentation with your other instruments.

One interesting doorbell
So when someone rings the bell, they gett the two standard dings, but then it becomes something much more. I suppose it gives them something to listen to while they wait for you to come and answer the door.
To be honest, I think that when it loops, the sound of the tolling bell goes on slightly too long. I'd work to remedy that, maybe by just having the track end with a single toll of the bell, for example.

Dark and forboding
That was how it started at least. I love the way that you've concentrated on the lower notes for a change, as your jazz tunes tend to wander up the scales towards the upper end of the piano.
The strings came in nicely to complement the piano as always with you. Where do you come up with the inspiration from for these wonderful pieces?
Good length for the piece and the pacing was nicely judged, to keep the tune slower and staedy, rather than the happy, quicker pace, that we may be accustomed to with yourself.

A nice sounding tune, though unfortunately, the vocals are a little quiet. That and the vocalists aren't in harmony. Consider putting them in singing different parts or get some singing lessons, before you hurt someone.
I think that the other limitation of the song is where the tune is too repetitive. For a 3 minute track, it should change so much more, especially considering that the vocals are so quiet that the guitar is all you can really hear. The instrumental was good, but needed so long before it came in. Consider making the tune slightly more difficult to play, it will pay dividends in the long run.

Nice
This tune actually sound borderline industrial, with the amount of uniformity that you've given us. Reminds me of a production line, as you start with two pieces being put together and then add more and more until you end up with the finished product at the end.
I would have made the track longer, giving more of an opportunity to give some more variation, as it appears that the track is crying out for it - it gets very busy in the middle, almost messy and then it gets calmer toward either end of it, which is wierd to say the least.

You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
