[Solus- Night of Longing]

Damn...

I wish i could make songs like this :P
The sax is very nice, but i like the percussion even more.
I agree with gOrc that the hi-hats are a bit too loud, but hey, nobody's perfect :P
The title fits really well too!
Also, i really like the mood of the song.

Great job!
10/10

SolusLunes responds:

Will fix hihats. :D

[Kw- Afterthought (wip)]

Review time! :D

Like Gravey1 said, the bass is too strong in the beginning. I did like the bass line in the beginning though.
I like that kick, but those snares sounds pretty standard. Also when that hi-hat (or ride) comes in, it's a bit too loud. Actually, it just doesn't fit there, so i would change that. In the rest of the song it isn't noticable though.
Also, that hi-hat at 03:03 sounds pretty standard. You really shouldn't use standard samples, because they sound... standard :P

Other than that, i can't think of any criticism.
Good job on the song!
9/10
I'm not going to rate this song, because it's a W.i.P. Let me know when the full song is online and i'll drop a five (if you made the song better of course :P)

nightsurfermusic responds:

I think i will change some things around. FL is screwing up for me, because there is so much going on in the song. I think the ride needs to be toned down a bit, you are right. The hi-hat at 3:03 isnt standard, but i think i will change it.

Thanks for the review!

[Neverland Remix V2]

Sounds nice...

But i hate to review remixes.
It's because i can't tell what you added to the song.
But i think you added enough to deserve my...
9/10
5/5
Keep it up and keep it original :P

syphonmax responds:

Thanks man =]

[The Dust of Destiny [GW]]

Nice and smooth...

Like an ambient song should be. This song forced me to really listen to all the details and effects in the song.
It's so simple, but very addicting. I love that drum beat!
The only thing it could use though, is some melody. Now there are only background sounds (which is very nice too), but i'd like to hear some kind of soft melody in the song.
9/10
5/5

gamerworld14 responds:

Thank you for the review! I will try adding more melody to my next song :D I also thought that the song was addicting to listen to because after listening to it, I feel refreshed ...lol -I just wish it was longer, maybe i should come back to this song and add a melody, and add some length...what do you think? (pm me)

[Blue Spirit]

Nice effects

First of all i would like to say that you have potential. This song is good, and i can really hear that you have talent!
Now i'll switch to my constructive critisism mode :P
You used very nice effects here, but i think you used them a bit too much. The melodies are great man, but you could have chosen better sounds.
Also, this song is a bit repetitive but i guess that's a problem with many trance songs :P
I don't like the kick you used at 02:31, it's too.. erhm.. loud and doesn't have as much dept as the rest of the song i think.
The bass is really nicely done and that's what is creating the deep feeling of this song.
My advice is too add more to the song, like breaks, solo's and stuff like that.

Overall i give you a 9/10 and a 5/5 for the effort.
Good job and keep improving!

MH16

zenodio responds:

Thanks a lot man. And that kick thing that came in at 02:31 is some kinda breakdown i made.

Anyway thanks for the critism, advices and the review overall!

[{B.A.B.} Cumulonimbus ~WIP~]

I like your style!

What i like most of your songs is that you can hear it was made by you.
Seriously, i would recognize a B.A.B song out of hunderds :D
Now i'll proceed to judging the song.

It's a very nice intro, starting with the Timpani's and creating an ominous mood.
Then the song starts to sound a little heavier and the transition to that is very nicely done.
What i like most of this particular song is that you can't really seperate the different sections in the song. Or maybe i'm the only one who can't do that, but whatever XD
There's so much variation in the song and the choice of instruments is great.
The panning is great too! :-)

Have fun drilling the head of the guy(s)/girl(s) zerobombing this. They/he/she deserves to be drilled! >:-D
5/5
10/10

blackattackbitch responds:

Thanks! I never thought of myself as having a particular style, but now that I think about it, there are elements that I carry on to pretty much every song I make.

Funny thing about the panning; I was trying to emulate a real orchestra this time, so I had the idea that I was going to leave all the brass in the center, put the low strings to the right, high strings to the left, high woodwinds to the right, low woodwinds to the left, and just not mess with the percussion at all.

The beginning was probably the hardest part for me, because I had no idea at all how I was supposed to start this thing. So I take it the beginning was a success lol.

And trust me, I will have fun drilling the heads of the zerobombers. If they're gonna vote my song into the hole, at least let it be the hole I made in their skulls >:^B (angry nerd faic lol)

Thanks for checking this song out man, I really do appreciate it XD

[{B.A.B} Burning Misery]

Great song!

But it didn't bring a feel of misery.
What i felt when i listened to this song was adrenaline pumping through my blood!
The piano section was a good idea, but had to be a bit more chaotic.
Yeah, this sure is a great song.
The way i would describe it is organised chaos. And you're really good if you can make a song like that, in my opinion.
Anyway, there's going to be a lot of 5 bombing from me :D
10/10
5/5
MH16

blackattackbitch responds:

Organized chaos, lol oxymoron, but it fits though

I guess I got the "burning" part of it then lol.

Nah you don't have to 5bomb it cuz I'll be doing plenty of that myself lol.

I wish I would have though of a chaotic piano section when I finished this song yesterday, but I was rushing through it and quickly running out of ideas.

Thanks for the review man, peace >8^D crazy faic

[Oki The Giant Green Bear]

I love it!!! :D :D :D

To be honest, i wasn't impressed when the song started, but slowly i started to like it more and more.
I really like the drums and the progression of them. The drums really make the difference in this song.
You know what i would like to see? A flash movie with Oki and this music playing in the background.
Also, this song is perfect to put vocals on. Heck, this song is almost good for everything!
You did a very great job making this.
It's going to be in my favourites! :D
10/10
5/5
MH16

Marks-a-lot responds:

I would like to see a flash with Oki in it too! I don't like the way it starts out nor the way it ends but everything in between is butter and babies! Thanks for the review.

[{B.A.B} Bloodstained Soil]

Hell yeah!

I don't even remember how the previous version sounded, but it's improved alot!
What i really like is the build up to that very fast and awesome part of the song at 1:15.
Hey wait a minute, that's the whole song :P
I remember that i said in a review on the previous version that it needed more power. And this song has power!
The only thing weird is that long silence at the end :P
Conclusion:
An awesome song with power, well chosen instruments and addictiveness.
Addictiveness?
Yes, addictiveness.
Great job and keep it up!
5/5
10/10
MH16

blackattackbitch responds:

Addictiveness lol.

You liked the last section? I actually didn't like that section too much. I was thinking of completely replacing it. But I may incorporate parts of it into the replacement now.

The silence is the fault of some of the soundfonts. Some of them don't cut off immediately and register as making sound way after they're completely silent.

Glad you think it has power, that means I did the right thing.

Thanks a lot for this review, I still got tons of work to do on this song and I need as much input as I can get.
