"Nice!"

submission: KR- Chaos Angel Ultimate

Great energy, the quick passages were slick, and the transitions were some of the best I've seen from you. You put a great spin on the song. The influence is obvious, but your interpreteation and creativity lifted this above the normal remake. I'm not too fond of how you used the choir though... I'd prefer to see it brought into the background, and bring the glittery piano out more. I'd also like to see some orchestral percussion in your music in the future aswell, because I really would have loved to hear some cymbol rolls and crashes, and timpanis in there too. Great work, knux. I love that you went for a more original take on the cover, you've made some great progress with your music. Keep at it, man!

"What you've got so far is really good."

submission: Kadisha - Miracle

I think you should take that sound and give it more energy, make it more grand, add in some more variation, some more emotion. Overall, I think you've shown a lot of potential, and I'd like to see how you use that potential in the future.

Great work. Keep it up!

"Creative"

submission: DE_Dust

date: May 7, 2008

Great work blending the music and sound effects together. I liked how the music sat back in the mix, like you'd expect in the game. An effective way to tell a little story.

It would have been nice if it were longer, and the music came into the foreground a couple of times throughout the track, but it was great work nonetheless.

"A great soundtrack"

submission: _-={The Gift}=-_

date: April 24, 2008

to go with a great animation. The slightly late pluck on the strong beat gives a great natural, almost rubato like, feeling of the music. The percussion is spot on, it feels delicate and precise. It could be a lot more grand and intense, but it's restrained well, and it gets under the skin.

The tune itself sounds quite professional. The build up is a great ice-breaker, and it sets the mood really well, I can hear that you were in no rush to bring the wind instrument into the mix, which is how I think a soundtrack should sound.

Overall, it's another great composition. The time and effort going for the realism payed off, and the ethnic sound mixed with the epic mood well, to get a great tune mid-way between the two. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you create for this project.

"Sweet"

submission: -My autumn love-

date: March 31, 2008

To me, this song isn't a huge masterpiece. The melody is simple, it's pretty repetitive, and the massive shift in pace that I'm expecting isn't there. But. That doesn't make it a bad song. It's one of those songs that people like to listen to with no strings attached, something to just listen to and enjoy. The tune is sweet, the build up is calm and collected, the drums are soft, and give the track a bit more pace without going over the top. The detached strings and bass rhythm give the track a bit of energy, to tap your foot to. The melody at 1.50 was very nice, probably the best part in the song, I think. The high end frequencies throughout the song give that soft light sweetness, that gives a nostalgic feeling. Listening to this song reminds me of videogames I played when I was younger. This is a nice happy song, I've got it replaying as I'm writing the review, and it's great just sitting in the background. I'm glad that you submitted this song. It's definitely not your best song, but it's worth listening to, and that happy melody is very enjoyable. It's one thing to listen to your techno/drum 'n bass music, but it's another thing to listen to this polar opposite, the diversity is good, and it's great to mix it up once in a while.
I like this. Keep making the music you're inspired to make.

"Awesome"

submission: ~BH~ Hypergiant

date: March 20, 2008

Catchy tune! I would have loved some louder percussion, to get a "dancefloor" beat to go along with it would be awesome. The synths are brilliant. You've convinced me to start messing about with sytrus synths, although I haven't made anything quite as good as this. This song is great, more than your average techno song. Great work, keep it up. <3 your stuff.

"Nice melody"

submission: .:Failure of the Heart WIP:.

date: March 20, 2008

The piano could use some extra punchiness in the lower part, it sounds real soft. The drums are quite dominating when they first come in, but when the lead comes in it's better. Enough with that stuff, the tune is really sweet, the beginning is great, although, maybe you could add a string section in there to emphasise the sadness. If the soundfonts you got off suspended-3rd-chord are the ones I got from him, then I think you should try the violin 1 legato sound from the squidfont orchestral sound font.

I think, as a WIP, it's got a lot of promise. The drums could be a great part of the finished song. The lead melody is cool, it has a lot of appeal. I think this song will turn out great once you're finished. You've got a great start, and I'd love to see where you go from here.

Keep it up. =D

"snow..."

submission: ==(Melting Snow)==

date: March 20, 2008

You tease me in your snowy climate, the themes in this song are alien to me. D':
From a musical standpoint, you've made quite an original piece. That's one thing I love about your music, I don't really hear anything else quite like it. The background is very good, with all the ambient elements going on there, sounds really wet, so that was really good. I didn't quite expect those instruments for the bass/lead, but they were good. The drums have a great realistic feel about them. The lead is pretty catchy, and the volume rise at the beginning of the phrase is groovy.
I think it's great how the background and the main instrumentation and melody kind of work in their own ways, yet compliment eachother really well.
Great work, SBB.
One for my favs.
=D

"Smooth"

submission: Paradise Demo

date: March 20, 2008

Nice soft trance, it's very cool. Yeah, it's a real tease. The synths sound really cool, it should make for a great song, once it's finished. Hope that writer's block doesn't hold you back too much (I had nothing to do with it! lol).
Good stuff.
