"Sweet"

submission: _-={Garden of Memories}=-_

The plucked strings sound amazing, and the atmosphere is great, very consistent. I half want it to lead into a more epic direction, but it's a great tune, and it sounds fitting for its purpose. Great work. I've been listening to more of your songs since you launched the site, and I must say that you've inspired me to get into orchestral compositions.
Keep it up, it's a pleasure to hear your music/collaborations. And I think I owe a "thank you" to LadyArsenic for her part in this song. I must listen to some of her stuff too, I haven't really looked into her music yet...

"Worth the wait"

submission: -Control: Damage-

date: March 11, 2008

Now this is brilliant. The melodies and patterns and everything that's going on, it's unusual. The bass is great, heavily fixed around its chord progressions, the higher frequencies are short, and there's not really a clear lead melody, it all seems to be in the song as a whole, with the drums, strings, bass and all those 270 layers that pull this together. The atmosphere is what makes the piece. It's so easy to just fall into the rhythm because of all the things going on in the background. The beat is so kickass. This song is awesome. Well worth the wait.
Gets my 5.
Keep at it, and try not to burn yourself out =D

"Lovely"

submission: Beyond the Coast

date: March 9, 2008

This some great soft classical/ambient music. It's so delicate, and it's full of emotion. The strings are really dry and natural, and I really enjoyed that. The shorter, bolder notes sounded really great. A tight composition, the rising and falling harp was immaculate. The ending sounded too cut short, I'd love to hear a ringing note of the harp to end the piece, and fade to nothing. But apart from that, it's nice and soothing to listen to. One for my favs.
Keep it up!

"The bell synth is really good"

submission: .:LoZ: Dark World Remix:.

date: March 8, 2008

The drums are too realistic for the genre though, in my opinion. Something more electronic/more basic would be more appropriate. The FL slayer (?) actually doesn't sound too bad here, which is a surprise, as FL slayer usually sounds pretty average. The mix is really good. Great work, keep it up!

"Hooked me right away."

submission: So...

date: March 8, 2008

Bass is cool. The synth is cool. The construction is well done, the progression is repetitive, but your biuld around the progression is interesting, and that makes this a nice chilled, well-varied song. It could use some more direction, move into another theme, make it into a more well rounded song, but as a simple chilled beat, it's great.
Keep it up. Your music is good to listen to.

"Chilled"

submission: Bye

date: March 8, 2008

This is nice and chilled. Drums are good, the soloing is good. I've found that as of lately I've been doing a lot more sitting down and playing whatever comes to mind, soloing for ages. Although I think once you've got that down, you really need to step up and try and highten that sense of improvisation, because the thing about this sort of soloing, once you've got a feel for it, it's real simple, nothing too special. But it's fun to listen to. So I'll give you an 8.
Keep jammin' round. =D

"Pretty good"

submission: The Floating Woods

date: March 8, 2008

But it lacks a certain hardcore-ness, that I like to hear in drum and bass. I love how it's encorporated around your own style, but I think that some harder drum breaks, and a grittier bassline could have been obtained without too much extra work, and it would have brought so much more out of the piece. I also found the synthesized tunes to be a little too repetitive, and the song got boring towards the end. Maybe throw in a curveball (lol baseball analogy from someone who knows nothing of baseball) mix up the sections, and bust out something completely different, and possibly dissonant. That weird kinda clashing sounds works well with drum and bass. For the genre, it's pretty tame, but generally speaking, it's good, well worth a listen, but a bit of extra work would make it better.
Good work.

"Pretty Cool"

submission: Electrified Snake

date: March 8, 2008

It sounds pretty good quality. Drums, synths are good, the mixing and composition is good. Transitions could be a bit better, for instance, dropping the lead out, leaving the strings sounds kind of hollow. Experiment a bit, find a few different ways to mix it up, and this song will be even more awesome.
Great work.

"iwillpwnuintehmac"

submission: Joyous killing ^_^ (demo)

date: March 8, 2008

lol, the first 4 notes in that riff at the beginning sounds exactly like a song I learned for the piano ages ago, called "Old Joe Clark's Boogie" (I think??? I'm not sure =P), anyway, the woodwind instrument is nice, I'm not too keen on the plucked sound that first has the lead, and I feel that the first section before the slow, more "majestic" theme kicks in, that another part in the middle there would help give the piece a more rounded substance. The majestic theme is very well done, but it lacks the Dad 'n Me cheek that the first theme has. I'm interested to see where this goes with the further movements. It has potential, so, the full version most definitely has a chance at placing second in the competition. =P
Nah, it's all pretty good, I'm trying to review as an unbiassed spectator, but it's a little tough lol. Keep up the good work, and check out what you're up against (in other words, review my Dad 'n Me theme plz!) >:D

"Cool"

submission: GLaDOS Owns You

date: March 8, 2008

Could be longer, I'd like to see a further development of the tune. Nice manipulation of the vocals, that was cool. It sounds very well done, slick, and mixed properly.
Nice work, it's quite amusing. =D
