Nice and simple
There's a little stutter when it loops though. Other than that, it's a nice short sweet loop. I might suggest to put the flutes up a bit higher, they sound like they're at the bottom of the register, and I think it'd really bring out the melody better higher up. Maybe the first time could be normal and the repeat could be up the octave? Then maybe you could vary thendings a bit to loop into each of the 2 parts. Just a suggestion, it's a nice loop.
Keep up the good work!

Atmosphere is nice
The different layers of piano is nice. I really like the higher part, it fills it out pretty well. A tiny bit of clipping going on in a couple of spots, although it's good for the most part. There's a part at the end where the volume randomly jumps up, but apart from the small things here and there, it's a solid track, this is one of my favourite sonic tunes, and it sounds really cool with the piano. Good job.
The volume jump was intentional. It was suposed to serve as a small shock--for the spooky feel I gave it. In any case, thanks.
Yup, funkay
Hang on... let me go get my afro on. Rollerdisco, anyone? Yeah, this song is full of groovy fresh 70's funk. The progression is simple, and I kind of miss a melody here, but it;s cool as a background track, it's nice and settled, good to chill to.
Keep it up knux.

Thanks, I'm glad you felt the funk in it!
Wow
This is smooth. It's very relaxing, lovely ambient sounds going on. The volume on the harp is quite intricate and beautiful, wonderful expression, as with the piano. It's like someone were actually playing them. The phaser and the more synth-ish instruments sound great.
You really hit the spot with this song. Gets my 5.
Beautiful work.

wow, thanks for the nice comments! i'm glad you like how everthing melded in here. Many thanks for the review!
8bit, or chiptune, as it is also known...
is hard to make whilst still sounding good. Music in it's most basic form of waves. I like 8bit, but the thing is that since the technical arrangement of it is so simple, there's a very high importance on the composition. The composition here was quite pleasant, so I'll give you extra points there. I've done a bit of chiptune myself, although I've only managed to pull it off good once. But the thing is that now we're not limited by videogame sound systems, there's no restrictions as to what you can do with those square, triangle, sine and saw waves. I'd like to hear this song with a bit of effects on it. Delay, chorus, reverb, phaser, go nuts! So that it'll stand out that extra bit when compared to the old mario tunes. Good work. I liked it.

Well thanks alot, Im glad that the general feel by everyone is that they liked it. I guess next time I will mess with the waves just that much more and try to get the best sound possible xD Thanks for the review.
Needs work
It's really hard to get a really good classical rock sound without guitars. First of all, there aren't too many people who know how to get FL slayer to sound like a real guitar, one just off the top of my head would be jrayteam6. I'd suggest trying to find some FL Slayer tutorials out there, using a real guitar, try finding a better guitar VSTi (I think I remember seeing one somewhere, a little while ago) or trying to work with different virtual instruments. A rock song usually sounds pretty simple, but most of the time a lot is going on. As well as the lead guitar, there's the rhythm guitar and a bass, and drums. If you want to reconstruct those instruments digitally, you need to have really good samples, and most of the time this costs a lot of money. You could probably get some good drums by using the FPC and using techniques and patterns that sound as if a real drummer would play them, and you can add realism to the drums by adding reverb. I think you can probably improve on this if you add a bass, maybe try and get something good in slayer or search around. You could probably get a passable rhythm guitar with FL slayer if you sue it right, but the lead is a bit of a problem, you could replace the lead with a violin sample or flute sample.
Also, there's the structure of your song, once you've got your base chord progression, you can vary the lead around that to get a few versus, connect them with a second progression for a chorus, add a third progression for variation as the bridge, intro, outro, wham, bam, you're done.
Hope this helps break it down for you.
Good luck composing music in the future.

wow... that's is an awesome review
thanx... It will help me a lot
I don't really like that vocal style
It lacks melody. It lacks clarity, I didn't understand any of the lyrics. It was played pretty well, although compared to some of the other metalheads on newgrounds, it isn't anything spectacular, I think the guitar is over-distorted, even for the genre. The lead should be a lot clearer. It was pretty repetitve, it really could have used a thrashing solo, which usually livens up a metal song and vamps it up into kickass mode. But on the whole, I've got to give it to you for using a real instrument, it's much harder to perform the guitar perfectly than it is to make a digital recording. Keep it up, on the whole, it was decent.

Reminds me of
the game on newgrounds: Fancy Pants Adventure. It has a nice fun feel to it. Great loop, and great for your first. Welcome to the AP, this is very enjoyable, would probably work really well in a funky game. Great work.
10/10 and a 5/5 for encouragement.

Well thank you!
This is cool, but
I don't really see someone rapping over this, it's great how it is, although it is a tad repetitive, it's missing the hip hop vibe. The synths are great, but a lot more electronica. Great song, I say leave it as it is. Good job.

i dunno what to do anymore
Right from the start
it gets my attention, it loops very well, the variation in the song is simple, but enough to make it the kind of loop that won't get old if used in a game.
The synths used were cool, they're effective, and the drums are great, short and punchy, it's mixed really well. I could listen to this over and over again for a while.
Great work.
