[Planet Iridion [Surge Mix]]

Nice, man!

The synths are very cheesy, but I suppose that's not all a bad thing, since it's VG. As a whole, it came together really well. Good job.

4/5

CyrusOfNaias responds:

Haha I must agree I used a few obvious presets. Thank you~

[Drown Me (Miles Apart) 0.5]

Decent song

Nice piano, but I'd suggest turning the bass down a bit, or shooting it up the octave when it gets really deep, it seems too dark and overpowers the higher piano melody. Drums come in, sounds cool. I'd love to hear it finished. Maybe PM me when it's up and I'll come have another listen.
Very promising.

ArisingFlame responds:

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting that to sound the way I want... I'll PM you when I have a newer copy.

Room for improvement

Ok, i think the progression isn't too fluid, it doesn't really connect too well, it seems a little too random. The synths chosen were alright, but I think that you should try and connect the song more smoothly transition through parts to mix it up, but keep it running smoothly. You can still maintain that erratic trance rhythm, just pick your chords and progressions a bit more carefully.
Also, consider the song as a whole, make sure it has enough energy and variation to continue through the whole song without getting boring, give it a decent climax.
maybe then you'll get a better score from me.

Keep working at it.

["Explosion Stimulator" F-777]

Wicked stuff

Sounds awesome, all the way through, it builds up nice, into a solid beat, I love the synths you used, it gives it that dirty feel, that I think is what sets techno and industrial apart. Top stuff, 5/5 again.

F-777 responds:

Thanks for the review =D.

[[TMM43] Maybe]

Brilliant techno

Synths are great. The build up and transitioning is awesome. It has an epic pumping feel to it. The strings are a nice touch, they give a great sense of atmosphere. Great stuff man! Keep 'em coming.

[Solus- Late Nights]

Sweet blues.

It was really good, great atmosphere. Piano is good. Brass sounds kinda off in places, but not too bad. The orchestral part is brilliant. Piano solo at the end was very very good. Great stuff.

SolusLunes responds:

I FIX TRUMPET >:(

[Les Choristes (Daft Punk RMX)]

Quite nice

The main part at the start was too loud however, and it sounded a bit out of place. But when it all came in it sounded awesome. At one point around 2 mins the lead started jumping around a bit too much for my liking, maybe get it to move up and stay there for the phrase then move it down for the next part, you get what I'm saying?
Also, I thought that the beginning and end were too random.
But overall, it was a great song. 4/5 and 8/10

nal1200 responds:

Agree 100%. I did the tempo/pitch changes at the beginning and end mainly for effect, just messing around, you know? Thanks for the tips, though!

[Without a Ticket]

Snazzy.

I don't listen to jazz all that often, but I enjoy the genre, and the smoky and free sounds it usually produces. It comes together well, very enjoyable.
Great stuff.

Also, I'm not sure if you're aware, but there's a common courtesy in the audio advertisments if you post an ad, you review the two ads above yours.

Great, great jazz. Moar plz!

Marty256 responds:

Thanks kindly for your review :) i'm afraid a bit of the stuff on advertisements flew over my head though...sorry :S

[-Hospital-]

Definitely different

Very nightmarish, very atmospheric, the piano is spooky O-o but I like it. It's not something that you'd hear on the radio or listen on your iPod, but definitely useful for movies. I can listen and appreciate the hard work that went on to produce a song of this standard. 5/5, 10/10, two thumbs up and a virtual pat on the back.

[*F-777* White Crystal]

You've done it again.

I really enjoy listening to your music, great beats, great melodies, the synths and effects, all brilliant. This song is awesome. End of story.

F-777 responds:

Thanks man. Glad you like it =D.
