[The Storm Whistler]

Not bad

Interesting to say the least. I give you extra points for being original and not sounding like everybody else nowadays. The saw didn't sound terrible to me, it seemed to blend with the mood and the rain rather well. The flute not so much, and probably the part that turned me off to this was the random pauses in between melodies where it was just raining. Seemed like an awkward moment or something, like there should have been some kind of transition there or something. Still props on originality. Keep up the good work.

Birdinator99 responds:

Yeah, I honestly can't say I was thinking straight for most of this one XD

Original, perhaps, but 8/10 is pretty generous for this, so I thank you!

[The Rabbit Hole -GST Mix-]

Nice

Yeah, the effort really does show. It sounds great honestly. I'm not into the happy hardcore crazy fast stuff at all really but I think you pulled it off quite well. Most of this totally sounds like something that would go with a madness flash, lol. Krinkels seems to like this kinda stuff.

I just realized that I'm writing this and just passing only 3 minutes into the song O.O

Well, to be totally honest, the next three minutes didn't seem to be all that moving to me. The first 3 were golden, in my opinion. Definitely a great remix though, and it shows that you have talent and spent time on this. Keep up the good work.

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks man.

This isn't Happy Hardcore, it's UK Hardcore, the evolution of Happy.

Yeah, the last 3 mins don't have as much energy, but I had to put an ambient part in somewhere :P

I'm glad you enjoyed this man.

Thanks a bunch for the review.

[Ranter - The Chase Ride]

Not bad

I would have to say after listening to this that drums are definitely your strong point. I love the drums throughout the entire song, the variations and randomness to them really made the song for me. Some of the other aspects not so much. The bass riff and synth riffs I didn't find all that catchy, I mean, they're alright they just don't seem to stand out too much. The beginning is interesting though, and towards the middle you added some crazy almost dubstep sounding bass, which was really a nice touch.

I think the piano sounds kinda out of place especially, but most of the other riffs seem to blend together pretty well. The riff and notes aren't anything completely amazing, but good nonetheless. I think you have potential and you should keep making music and you will improve. Especially since your drums are so sick. Keep up the good work.

ranter responds:

I really appreciate your effort in reviewing my song!!
And you are right about the melody it's kind of bland that's why i tryed spicing it up with all these different things.

Also i just love experimenting!

The piano's are pretty but i get what you mean, since the rest of the song is pretty much sounding midi/bit/nintendoish. I'll try and have a look into that!

Also check out my newer song wich is a remix of Pachabel's Canon. it's not finished but i really need feedback on it!

Thanks!

[.:Black Orpheus:.]

Not bad

Seems like you have a lot of talent in making this kind of music. I'm not a huge fan of it, but this sounds great and seems to flow really well, although what sounds to me to be the trumpet is a tad too loud and stands out a lot from the other instruments a bit too much. The beat itself is nice, and overall pleasant though. I don't listen to enough Jazz to give you a really great opinion, but from an outside one, it sounds pretty damn good. The ending sounded a bit off, I think because of the drums. They just didn't quite seem to match the rest of the piece at all and sounded very electronic to me. Other than that though, not bad.

It's nice that you put in the effort to make this a full song. Almost 5 minutes is nice to see, and nice to listen to. Keep up the good work.

camoshark responds:

Thanks for the review!

I did this arrangement real quick as it was supposed to simply be a backing track for a homework solo (I go to performing arts schools), but decided to post it as a complete song.

Being a backing track, the main theme was meant to stand out. I guess turning it into a full song, I forgot to EQ it acordingly.

For the ending, i totally agree. I wrote down the chords as writen, and when we play it it sounds ok, but when I write it down it sounds off... Don't know what to say about that, I guess the VI's are to blame.

Great to see you enjoyed, it's pretty much my intention when I post something here, other to get some feedbak along the way!

Cheers

[The End.]

Nice

Well there was a point where I was actually feelin this. I suppose the fact that you sound amateur kinda adds style to it. The beat seemed to match really well at some points and not at others. The first verse was pretty much the shit. You need to work on your flow a little bit, but I think this sounded better than some of your other stuff I listened to, not sure why though. It's hard to explain why but the first verse seemed to blend really well with the beat, and I could feel the emotion in what you were saying, but after that it seemed to disappear.

I hope that makes some kind of sense. I think if you work on your flow a little bit, maybe experiment with timing and emphasis on certain words so it doesn't sound so monotone, that would help a lot. You could also do a bit better with the beats, although this one was okay and seemed to match sometimes. Sorry I realize this criticism is really vague, but I hope it helps. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll keep getting better anyway, this one was a lot more enjoyable than the last one I heard of yours.

Luke responds:

Thanks for the input man.. I'm glad you take the time to check out most (if not all) the tracks I have uploaded on here.

This track was made in less than 2 hours really, it was just something quick I threw together.
I'm glad it's better than the last you listened to because it's one of my newer, actually it IS my newest besides one that is in the making at the moment and having a lot of work put into it by my friend Slaughterizer who is another rapper. Keep your eyes peeled for that track if you will, all input is very appreciated.

I totally understand what you're saying and all criticism is put to use one way or another.. I understand I lack flow and I can only get better at that the more I practice, so in time I will have gotten better.. I'm sure you can tell the difference between my flow on a faster song compared to a slower one, you've reviewed Emo Murder Cru if I do remember correctly, and I remember your review being a lot better about that track, so I'm sure you know what I mean when I say I rap better fast than I do slow.

Thanks again for the criticism, review, etc etc. It's good to see people regularly checking out my music and giving me their input on it. Like I said, any criticism will only make me better and I appreciate all the honesty in your reviews.

[Field - Magic of Sheharaz]

Wow

I know this is old, but I found this by clicking 'random audio' on a portal player submitted in the flash portal. This track is really great. It's so perfect it makes me want to create a fun RPG game just to use this. I can totally see this in a Final Fantasy game, or some other similar game.

The melodies are all just great, you were really creative with the notes and I'm curious as to what program you made this with. Honestly, I downloaded this because it really is that great.

With all the trendy trance stuff that's around nowadays it's nice to hear some chill electronic tracks like this. Amazing. Keep up the good work.

DarkValentine responds:

Ableton Live 6 & the M-Audio Ozone Keyboard.

[Robodance.]

Hmm

Well right off the bat the song sounded just awesome, and the build up was great, but I think it fell into the false build up category, where not enough happened really and it just kinda felt like it wasn't really warranted. After that you added some really interesting sounds around 1:30 and those all seemed appropriate. When the bass came in finally the song sounded complete.

You added some really strange effects around here that didn't sound very musical at all and just sound awkward. I would highly suggest taking those out...I'm not even sure what that noise is (like 1:20 for example), but the rest of the beat is great. I'd remove that super weird shit, everything else sounds great.

Oh, and nice job trying to make it loop, lol. It doesn't work perfectly, but good enough for me. Honestly, with some touching up, I would have no problem giving this a 10. I just see some obvious problems with it. Keep up the good work though, I like your sound.

GV14982 responds:

Does it loop well? I didn't even notice :) Those weird noises we me messing around with the Beat Repeat in Ableton. I'm thinking they sound kind of weird as well. Thanks for the review!

[Sanake's execution - TTC CHG]

Nice

A pleasant 'ode' to the death in the story. The piano is beautiful and the piece is very appropriate. I love the melodies you used in this one. The electronic noise in the background seems appropriate as well. Not much to say really, I mean it's an ode to a death. Aren't I supposed to be having a moment of silence? lol

I didn't really follow the story that much in this one. Most of the dialogue in the beginning was confusing with all the names of places and people I'm not familiar with at all. Beautiful piece overall though, keep up the good work.

Calamaistr responds:

Thanks :)

[Red whale jumps - TTC CHG]

lol!

Dude, I lost it when I read "it started raining heavily" and the rain sound effects came in! Wow, what perfect timing, lol. The story seemed to fit your musical piece very well! I liked this one ;) The music was great, and totally reminded me of an RPG game while reading your script. I reviewed something of yours the other night, don't remember much about it though.

I think I enjoyed this one a lot better. The story if I remember correctly is much longer here, and with some dramatic effect! The pure fact that I read the rain part when the rain actually came in through the song was just crazy. I was like woah, I feel a real connection with what I'm hearing and what I'm reading. If I had any criticism to give you at all it would be to keep adding in those connections, because that was really cool.

Calamaistr responds:

Glad that it worked :) its a nice compliment when these things pull off, and pull people into the story through the setup. :)

Thanks and greets again -Cal.

[Endless Storm]

lol WHAAAT?

Recorded in your grandma's basement? My fucking ass! These vocals are sick, don't listen to that shit. Like the other guy said, I can't understand a word you said either, but fuck man...I can totally feel the emotion behind those sick ass growls so to be honest, I didn't even give a shit. I mean come on, who can understand every lyric in every metal song they listen to anyway? lol...

Guitar riff is sick, drums sound great man, and I love the fade out at the end. I will agree about the very beginning though, it does sound a bit strange...I can't really put my finger on why though. Oh well. Keep up the good work. I knew I added you as a favorite artist for a reason.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

Thanks man, it's much appreciated! =D
