You can tell where the name of this came from, it has a very original 'snow-like' feel to it. The chords on the piano really elaborate this and gives off a distinct style.
When it picks up in the beginning it really kicks in and takes you on a nice, frosty ride.
::Cons::
It does however get a little boring toward the the and repetitive, regardless it is still very nice.

This was made very well, it loops perfectly and has such a nice carefree feel about it. Flows really smoothly.
::Overall::
A great guitar loop.

This really needs to be finished, it sounds great. While the sounds may seem a little 'kiddy' with their MIDI sound, they actually mix in very well and progress as it goes along.
The riff at the end is very well appreciated and while a lot more heavy going than the rest, actually melts in well. Overall this is a great audio file, it has a feel good beat going for it. It would be excellent if it was finished.

This is nothing fantastic but it does have some charm going for it. The loops are nice and the way its been padded out itself is actually quite nice.
Has a very clear, smooth feel about it.
Not bad overall.

Not bad, the vocals sound very similar to James Hetfield which was nice, means that there's potential for Metallica covers. Sometimes in this though, the voice was too strained and wavered a bit too much.
The song besides it was good, the opening wave was especially well done.
Overall this wasn't too bad, got a repetitive but was otherwise ok.

Thanks for the review! You know, I was spitting phlegm for a week after that! Well, maybe not that long, but you get the point. I'm not good at brutal vocals. Not at all! I don't think I'm really good at any vocals for that matter. And I did have to strain myself too much for this one. I tried to do this, mainly just to see if I can do it and it didn't turn out as bad as I thought it would. Maybe Hetfield is a bit of an exaggeration here, but I did try to have a vaguely similar style (somewhat heavier, though).
If it sounds repetitive, just do what I do. Skip to the solo and you'll be fine! :-)
Cheers!

I'm not a big fan of Kiss but this mixture of rock and effects was freaking brilliant. The opening is gentle and smooth, the chords perfect and the sound clean and crisp.
One thing that is always annoying with Kiss songs is the lead singer, its too high. In this cover the voice is perfect deep and near gruff, it really mixes in well with whole rock tone that this cover has.
Great effects push certain sound into the background and add whole layers of great sounds. The added accoustics make it sound even better, like its really authentic.
Great work, this is going the iPod.

Thanks for the review! I'm really glad you liked it! You know, Kiss were all about high pitched vocals... It's like a trademark for glam bands. If they didn't have that in the first place, it's possible that we would never have known them enough to do a low pitched vocal cover of this song! :-)
Nevertheless, I'd be lying if I said that in general I'm fond of screaming myself. It fits certain styles and what we do as a band isn't it.
Thanks for the great review! I hope it stays in your iPod for long!

A nice remix, the sounds are very clear and its loud which helps to make it easily enjoyed. The effects are put to good use but it doesn't sound out of way with the old version so it retains some of its retro charm an yet sounds new at the same time.
8/10

Thank you, this still stands as one of my favorite projects. Maybe I'll resurrect it and see if I can do it better. Thanks for listening.

A reasonably awesome audio. It sounds very post apocalyptic- I can just about see damaged ruins listening to this. The use of the guitar solo creates some level of 'coolness' being brought into it.
The short and fast chords used in the background and foreground help to create anxiety and makes it feel as if something huge is going.
Great audio, great listen.
It would be hard to improve upon as its already at its peak.

Its an addictive little tune, it loops perfectly and the beat is so happy you can't help but feel something uplifting inside of you as you listen to it.
The noises in it all sound very fresh and help give some meaning behind the name '8 bit loop'.
Overall its a joy that would work well in a flash.

This song has a very 'hip' and 'suave' feeling beat to it.
It nearly screams 60s era all throughout with the slides and the fast guitar movement as well as the soft clicking of background drums and other instruments.
While this is all very good it feels drawn out a little too long; as if it overstays its welcome.
Overall its very catchy and hippin'.
