"I like it!"

submission: In a land of War and Hatred

Sounds exactly like something my school band would play... Pretty good at times, I especially liked the piano part because I have a big bias towards piano :D

Something that bothered me a little bit was that the drums were kinda quiet. I found that kinda odd, since in most orchestrated pieces the drums are at least a little louder then in this one. Also, was it just me, or were there no cymbals? I love cymbals! Course, that doesn't mean your piece woulda been any better with my suggestions, probably different at best. Anyways, I can't wait to hear more out of you :D

"Nice hybrid you have here ^^"

submission: _-=[Flying Unmatched]=-*FIXED*

This is very nice. It's length is my only real fret with it, which isn't really a fret at all because it's still a great song and isn't too affected by its length anyways.

Anyways, it was a nice somewhat energizing piece. I really liked the flute in there, it sounded exactly how I think a flute should sound: sad, sort of soulful even, which is an accomplishment because the piece seems a little upbeat until the flute kicks in. The flute is what I think brings the whole piece together and makes it great as opposed to good, it was a really nice touch. Then it fades into that nice weird thing of whatever it is, something like a violin crossed with a synthesizer? It's pretty cool, course I favored the flute over it anyways :P

Anyways, good job here. Classical and Techno are too genre's I'd never think would get mixed, but who knows what'll happen when you give someone something like fruityloops? :D

"Great!"

submission: -MrMaestro- Divination

I really like this! That little blues twist you put on it just makes me want to smile because its completely unexpected and great. I have to give you big props for this, because it does something that very few artists on NG can actually accomplish : it delivers music through understatement. You don't need some loud instrument delivering the melody. You just use a string and expect the listener to pay attention because it's there.

Good stuff, this. Catchy.

Score: 9

"Fast paced"

submission: -MrMaestro- JoyRide (preview)

date: January 27, 2006

Not too bad, and I really like the fast paced stuff :D. I think it could do with a baseline (which either I can't hear or isn't there, I'm not sure) One thing that bothers me is that when you get to the faster paced synths, its so fast that the , eh, meaning behind the melody is almost lost, and by the time you understand what you're doing you've pretty much moved on to something else. Still though, I appreciate it for what you did, because the second time when I know whats comming it's pretty satisfying.

Good job!

"Definitely different"

submission: Credits Roll

date: January 27, 2006

It's not bad at all. Good background music, or maybe foreground - it's on the border. One thing that I sorta can't tell if I like or not is how the first little section sounds all off key, but then the music sort of reverts itself back into the regular sounding music. That's a nice trick.

Pretty good overall. I like it.

Score: 9

"Pretty good."

submission: General_Leo - Darkness

date: January 27, 2006

I have to say that it's pretty tough for me to like a song like this - that is without an obvious melody or 'hook'. I'm pretty impressed though, this is pretty good background music. Maybe you could do better with some effects (like crashing in the background or something to add to the darkness) - just a thought.

Anyways, pretty good.

Score: 8

"Not bad!"

submission: Mega Man X - Boomer Kuwanger

date: January 27, 2006

It's not bad. I like how it all builds up to the middle section, although after that it sorta drops off. At least I think it does, I was sort of zoning while listening to it ^^;

Anyways, one thing that you could do with some work on is the instruments. What I mean is that you have a lot of choppy sounding instruments that give way to smoother ones. Its kinda weird and works against the song.

Just a tip :D (technically you'd have no grounds to trust me, except I actually got told this by someone else who DID know ;)

Score: 6

"Not bad..."

submission: Cheap halloween loop

date: November 5, 2005

Yeah, I took off on originality simply because, well, IT'S NOT ORIGINAL :P

And effort too because, common, 45 seconds?! Geez.

Anyways. It isn't too bad. I sorta like it. A longer version could be nice...

Score: 8

"Nice."

submission: Andvarinaut

date: November 5, 2005

It is pretty soothing. At points it gets pretty soft, but it's nice. I personally like the songs that are louder, but this is a nice change from what I'm normally used to.

Can't think of anything else to say.

"I love it."

submission: Helix - No. 6

date: July 27, 2005

I can't believe just how perfect this piece is. Those synths are just completely rocking. They... they just work. This piece is like perfection in audial form. Even the occasional vocal fits in. I never notice the loop - even now I'm having trouble picking it out. I think I'm going to have to download it to figure out when it happens. :P

I can just keep listening to your songs over and over. Amazing stuff here, man. Amazing.
