You have made me a true believer of this audio portal thing. Okay, I've always been a believer, but you've just added on to my believing. Excellent song! It has a spectacular beat, and doesn't drop at all in 7 minutes. I've rarely given out tens recently, so thank you for giving me an opportunity :D

Score: 9

"Cool and not immediate."

Like the other reviewers, it took me some time to figure out just what was going on in this piece. Eventually, I figured out that it was a really powerful melody chorus buried under a lot of chords, then copied a lot and separated by some rather less interesting segues of piano randomness. I think that it could do with a good polish to make those intermissions more interesting, but the melody itself is excellent and deserves a good 9 stars.

Score: 8

Weekly winner is determined by scores at the end of the week and then not updated for a whole nother week. I like this song, especially the melody, although you took it from Zelda so I had to knock off a few points for originality. It's still good, but I think a few of the instruments clashed. I like the big mellow sound you have going carrying the main melody a lot, but some of the techno that crops in there messes with the sound. Oh welll. I liked it anyway.

Score: 9

"Very cool."

Note to self: Use this later. I liked it, and like the other guy said, you don't even recognize its a loop. Good stuff.

"Two good melodic ideas"

...which are totally disjoint. Try separating them into their own songs. In the first, the loud drum/kick thing was annoying. In the second, the piano melody was great, and I want to know how to play it on piano. XD

"Impressive"

High quality stuff here. I liked the chord progression quite a bit. No specific criticisms from me!

Score: 7

"Potential"

That opening piano line that crops up every now and then is good. Maybe try rewriting this song, keeping that line, and clearing it up (you're allowed to use a better compression)

Score: 9

"Whoa!!"

I was thinking that this was boring and I was just going to refrain from having to review you at all, cause I didn't want to be mean or anything. The chord progressions were going all in the wrong ways, the arpeggios weren't working for me either. Those weird bells that come in were sounding off tune too. It just wasn't sounding good. But fortunately you turned it all around on a dime and got some awesome melodies and had it speed up to a good tempo and darn if it didn't start rocking out. But then you stopped the cool part short. Oh well, it was still pretty awesome.

10/10 for the second part, 6/10 for the first. Now if you just took that jazzy section out of Industria 1 and put it with the second part of this, that would RULE! Still pretty good though.

Score: 8

"Hmmm"

The background noises in my opinion need to be louder, so that you really feel like you're in a steam room. I just realized that when you bring in the loud lead, there's another melody going on in the background, but its too quiet. I think you need to quiet down that lead :P

Other than that, good. The melodies could actually be sped up a little bit here (there's just no pleasing me :P) A little short, but then again, its only a section of a longer song...

Score: 9

"Hahahaha.. Awesome."

I was loving this from the beginning. Some of the backing base was a little too fuzzy for me I think (I would have prefered something more clean), and the last lead instrument that comes in before you shift the whole thing to the Laboratory was really strange and contrasted kinda bad with everything else. Also, the synth thing that hits a note, then 1 octave up, then back down to the same note is way too loud in contrast with the rest of the song. That's probably the biggest problem here.

On the other hand, this is freaking awesome!!!! I absolutely love it, especially the jazzy section at the beginning. Great melodies in there, although you may have done a few of them a little too fast. I also loved how you made a beat out of the weirdest sounds, it reminds me of Time by Pink Floyd.

On to the next one!
