[The Deep Dark Abyss]

Love the synth..

..in the beginning.

I don't really say it's repetitive, it just feels...empty.

Like you could have had some nice chords using pads.

Or maybe put in some sick piano chords with the piano solo you used during the middle.

Not bad though.

DrWaldo responds:

I see what your saying... it was kinda what i had in my head atm

I want to add more to the piano

but thanks for the review :)

[Zone x]

The bass...

<3.

The beat...<3.

This is real chill and mellow.

The fx or pads that came in at around 00:27 killed the mood though.

It's too raspy and makes it lose it's feel.

Otherwise, this is an awesome song.

The bass I heard in the end sounded good, except that the song faded out!

Sigh...

Nice though! =D

Secronz responds:

Chrz

[MediEvil!(The Spell)]

The voices...

I don't know how you can do it, but could you make the pitch changes between the "aah" sounds smoother? Especially in the beginning?

When the "aahs" switch, there is a gap, and I hate that, especially in an orchestrated piece like this. It should run smoothly across.

The harmonization in this is great though.

It's going to be good...^.^

Flash-MX responds:

Hey thanks for the review!
Yea I know what you mean about the voices, my brother pointed that out this morning, the gap that you mentioned in the beginning is the same one. This can be re-written, but im also hoping to use different voices for the choir.
Thanks again!

[Relative Dismissal]

Cool...

The synths were amazing.

The piano was confusing in itself. It sounded to me like you just chose random notes to go along with the synth.

The beat and the original synths are really good though.

And the pads...<3.

It was a tad repetitive though.

And with the piano, I would try to make the notes less "random".

And maybe add chords to accent the mood because, this could be a great song.

Not bad man!

Areken responds:

Thanks, I know it's not perfect, but every time someone points something out, it gets that much better. I really appreciate your review. :)

I do realize it's repetitive, as are all of my songs to be honest. That's just a personal flaw in my music. I make something good, but can't make more once I get the tune. :P

Thanks again though!

[(WF1) House Of Mystics preview]

Strings.

F'ing awesome.

And I love what you did with the flute.

And the piano...ah!

This is going to be good.

Definitely one that would be great in a flash.

Anticipating the full!

wyldfyre1 responds:

as always glad to hear from ya! Glad ya liked it and much luv to ya! hehe.

[Letters From The Sun]

Dude!

When I heard the piano , I had no idea where you were going to take it.

I really wanted to listen in to see what you'd do with it (Not like I would listen anyway).

I also don't think it wouldn't go in the ambient category, but I don't know if that really matters to you.

The piano is pleasent, but I think it's the glitch that makes it "less ambient".

The guitar was cool also, I liked the rythm and how you introduced it in the song.

Nice mate.

Niiiice.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Heh heh, yeah, the piano sort of just accents this and that. I used the keys as more of an ambient backing to the whole song, with little jazzy quells here and there. I took it out of ambient. Tossed it in miscellaneous as usual. : \

Yeah, its not nearly anything close to ambient glitch music. Which i tried to get in the other song of the similar title "Letters from an iceberg".

I'm glad you liked the guitar too! i've just been recently teaching myself. : D

[Moonlight Through Misty Air]

Speak of the devil...

I was just browsing some of my favorite songs and after to listening to your song The Silver Monster,
I saw this.

First thing I thought was...Moonlight...Sunlight...uh...

Wow!

You did so much more with this.

You have way more variation in your piano, your opening theme is more defined in the original. It sounds...happier, in a sense. The other sounded a bit melancholy.

The drums were great. The glitching went more with the beat. It was random in the right spots, if that makes sense lol. The voice was a nice touch. Couldn't understand a lick of what was said, but awesome regardless. Everything just melted together so nicely.

What I loved about this song is everything compliments another. My attention doesn't avert to the piano the entire song. I go from the piano, to the beat, to the synth. The whole thing is just captivating.

I wish I could offer some sort of constructive criticism towards this, but alas, I feel that I am in no position to critique something as good as this.

And you better believe that I enjoyed it damn it!

And now I realize what your music reminds me of.

The KPax soundtrack!!

That was a bit random but yeah...lol

Heart-felt right here.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Eh-hehehe : D

I'm glad to see you enjoy this one. This is probably the most work I've put into any one song. So the turn outs been well. I'm going to start even more meticulous work on songs from now on.

With this track, i was really working on making variations and transition and a smooth even flow into such. So i think it turned out well from all the good responses : D

Heh the man was saying:
"I stood upon the sand of the sea and saw a beast rise out of the sea."

I wanted everything to be interesting in this song, so i worked with everything individually and such. So it worked out! : D

Haha, the KPax soundtrack? I've never seen that movie actually!

I'm glad you dropped by for another review and glad you really liked this song.

Keep listening! Fill that lobe.

(ps: if your intersted, or havent noticed yet, i actually went back and changed up "The Silver Monster" a bit, added some stuff to it! Might be worth checking out :D )

[[Pressure]]

dude..

I would so want to make a song with this as a basis.

You could do so much with this!!!

lemme know if you ever progress with this...

Even though I doubt you are lol.

Iplaygames responds:

hahah... if you're really bored look how long it's been since I've made a song :P

But an attempt would never hurt

[ASG Bass]

Ooooooh

It sounds pretty good on it' s way in, except for the one synth that sounds like it fades in and out that is a bit off beat.

Certain parts sound crammed, like at around 01:14 ish.

My only problem is that there are parts that sound crammed throughout the song similar to what you hear at around 1:14.

But otherwise, this is a sweet song.

ANTI-SPAMGUN responds:

thanks
:D

[[M-Jose] Ecstasy Interlude]

Amazing!

The only thing I had a slight problem with was the guitar part that came in at around around 00:47 ish.

It was just some of the notes that you used that kind of made me lose a bit of the tranquil feel that you were going for.

It's not a bad rythm, oh no, just some of the notes.

But other than that, amazing piece.

Favorited.

MetalJ0se responds:

I know exactly what you mean. I came up with an idea while working on the orignal piece and so I've changed the tone slightly. I think it works better with the whole arrangement now...
