Quirky, kind of messy.

It starts out a bit quirky, and leads off into a completely different mood. It is almost as if you were playing a live concert and decided NO WAIT ILL PLAY SOMETHING ELSE LOLZ and went off into something different. Perhaps you could have filtered out the begginning tune into the background of the tune that followed.

I did enjoy the part at 1:24. It sounded like you really had something going there. With some heavy bass, that could really be an excellent climax. Then it went off into something different again. It's like this entire song was a little bit of everything on your mind mixed together kind of messily, but in the end pretty clean. This seems like it would make a good menu loop, credit loop, or perhaps a boss fight song. Good choice of instruments, I liked the quality of them all.

The part after 2:50 was my favorite.

All in all, this seemed to be a quirky song more than anything that needed some major organization. Just because you have cool sounding tunes doesnt mean the song is cool, but still you show a unique style.

Has Lots of Potential! Just needs some more lows.

The synths are pretty cool, but need more of a dry mix in there. Basically, you should make everything deeper. Oh... you did! Lol. Starting at 30 seconds, this tune got pretty cool. The beginning is a bit harsh on the ears, so perhaps you should filter it in instead of having a full blown edgy synth. You should put in more that just this one synth such as a nice 8-bit bass and some pads. It got really nice after 1:40. This would make a good song for an 8-bit game credit theme or title. My only complaint is that it starts out kind of strange and has a bit of an "annoying" feel to it because of the constant high pitched noises and no real lows on the spectrum.

Keep it up!

Very classy!

Haha, this tune has an excellent electric edgy feel to it. Now that you mention it, it truly does make me feel as if my socks have thunder in them. Great combination of sounds used in here. The synths are all very well created and have nice depth to them. I have listened to this tune a couple of times. It is surprisingly addicting! It went very well with the 24HRC3: The Portal.

Nice one!

Slug-Salt responds:

thank you!

[Dark Enigma *C-Star*]

Needs more depth.

My only complaint is that everything sounds way to organic, as in you can easily tell everything is completely electronic. That really ruins the feel of EPICNESS for me, although it still is a great tune. The instruments are very well placed together and this would make a great theme for a cool little flash game. My advice is to use deeper instruments in your recordings, as in add some equalizing in there for extra color and depth. 1:45 was the deepest part of the song because of the (trumpets?) in the background. It really added a nice extra feel to it all.

You've got the placement and creation all down, now just add some highs, lows, and bass and your good!

Awesome Sauce

Great to hear a nice piano xmas solo! Sounds professional as always man. I loved the mix of chords that you choose. This is great for a chrtistmas flash.

[Carol of the Trolls]

Kind of annoying

It was a funny, cute recording of your friends and then altered into squeaky voices with a few simple clicks of the mouse button. I thought the cracking percussion noises were fairly annoying with the out of tune synths. This seems way, wayyy to quirky for my tastes. Its cute and all, but needs a lot of work on the pitches.

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for review.
1-Voices are "Helium Choir" sound library from Tonahammer (also written in the description), no mouse clicking but lots and lots of helium.
2-Out of tune synth = dissonant bagpipe (out of tune=tuned wrong, dissonant=tuned right, playing dissonant interval, like 2nd, 4+, 7th, 9th...etc).
3-Have you ever considered that a song named "Carol of the Trolls" might be supposed to be dissonant, harsh on ears and generally speaking unpleasant in a funny way ?

[[S,J] Derezzed]

Really cool, but needs some more attitude.

Wasn't this in Tron? Glad to hear a remix. The beginning has some nice, deep bass that makes me KNOW there is a build up and HOPE its a fucking good one that wants to make me dance. I thought it was really cool that you sampled the electronic noises used in the song and dubstepped them. Very clever. Reminded me of those old "Type N Speak" toys I use to play with as a kid. This song is real dope, real electrifying.

I think that you should have brought in some sort of pad lead that goes with the beat of all the dubstep. You need more variety in this song, because it has that same basic tone for 5 minutes. I love the dubstep feel, but I was hoping for some sort of addition such as pads or other synths. I saw some cool stuff at 3:30 but then it just goes back to the same old electrifying dubstep. Next time try to be real original and use the debstep element as a lead at first, then as a beat leading to a climax of a lead synth going very well with the new dubstep beat.

Keep up the good work.

Wow

This song starts off sounding very sandy, as if I am walking through a dessert in the night, watching, waiting, looking for somewhere to go. I love the feel of it. It sounds very middle easter, yet at the same time it reminds me of a nice ambient feel that im use to. I love the deep pads in the background mixed with the constant, nice repetition of that simple dinging. That SFX in the bg is awesome and calming.

This song gets very dark and very strange. Some sounds seem to just come from nowhere, as I am lost in the overwhelming wave of sounds. The guitar was such a nice, vivid touch. Its like I finally understand where to go in the song, and climb out of the dessert to find something strange and exotic. Perhaps I am looking at a city, charred, old, and barren, lost in the middle of the dessert. Am I the only one living? What happened? How long have I been in the dessert?

Then certain warm sounds are brought in that make me feel like somebody else is there, yet the feeling of someone else being with me is only a memory of me wlaking down these once busy streets, meeting people, talking, and holding my child as he smiles. Then I come to the realization that everyone that I once knew and loved, is gone. Everything never mattered. I am just as lonely as the cracked, dusty walls of the collapsed structures around me.

Near the end, I feel acceptance. I feel at peace. I feel very nice and warm. The voices you put in there are a very nice touch, repeating just as the small, simple ding was in the beginning. Very nice collab guys. Underrated to the extreme. I'm glad I found this little gem.

Respect.

Mich responds:

I must say I quite enjoy the visuals you get with songs. The dark and strangeness is probably due to the scales used, which I don't even remember anymore. :p

All I know is that I stuck to the scale we picked, and SineRider wandered about with it, in his piece.

Thanks for the lovely review, it's much appreciated. :)
