Great track, very well written ! Harmonic changes are very nice, my favorite passage is the cadence from 0:22 to 0:30. Very good take on the theme, I just wish the track was longer, with a less abrupt ending. But good job !
I enjoyed the pedal tones and the descending bass that you used. I think that it is a cute tune fitting for a shop, but since this is for Earthbound, there is a lack of the "out-of-the ordinary-ness." Other than that, I also enjoyed the counterpoint, use of harmony and the melody. It would be great if you could loop the track!
I think this piece really captures the 50s rock and pop influences of the earthbound soundtrack. I think it might just be missing a little bit of the weirdness present in the games. the mixing and composition are really well done. very listenable.
Even thought this is a piece full of cliche, it is actually very well crafted, the song always move forward in a coherent way, there is some nice details here and there.
The instruments complements each other nicely.
For the cons: Even if the ost have some quite naive sounding tracks here and there (onett theme, home swett home..) they are not as cliche as this, and if you consider earthbound as a game whithout its music, it is better suited for jazz, funk, experimental, maybe some cold wave stuff etc..
Anyway very good work, solid tune.
