[Dancing in the sunlight]

Excellent except for one thing

... that voice! Sorry, I just dont like it. It sounds like the guy is holding his nose while signing slightly offtone. The rest of the song is amazing (as always) and I appriciate that. Really this song could be an absolutely excellent one, one of your best, except... that voice! Ugh!

No offense there. I really like those arpeggioes (spelling uncertain), it reminds me of bubbles rising to the surface calmly (dont ask)

Dont take it personally or anything. Heh. I liked the way the robot voice goes well in "Coppertop Stride" so maybe you should take a lesson from that ^^

Heh, that review wasnt even as long as my other ones, oh well.

Rock on!

crud responds:

HAHAH, yeah i guess i totally misguessed it with the vocoder on this one. i'm not sure how i missed it, i guess i just got into the sound of it. maybe if i had turned it down or planned it's use a little less. regardless i thank you very much for the very awesome reviews. and by the way, i totally understand the bubble thing, i love arpeggios so much, great for energy.sorry about the vocals, i wonder if it would be worth it to submit it minus the vocals? haha ;)

[I can lick my elbow]

Your a GENUIS!!

Hahahaha. This song made me laugh out loud, and not many songs are that funny. Oh, the agony you must have caused those blues people. Its just great, that beginning that sounds normal and then BLAM and your hit with pretty reckless synths, and then it goes even more insane. And then everything clashes together horribly...

And its a great way to tortue people :-D

crud responds:

yez yez, tis a cruely evil thing i have done here. mwuhahahah!! i think my favorite part is how is goes pretty insane, but then slows down REALLY slow to make you have to endure it longer and then all hell breaks out loose. goodnight st.louis!!

[Striving for a better tomorrow]

Fits the name

...it really does. I dont know how exactly, but it does. Anyways. That minor sounding synth really works wonders for the song. And then when the pluck comes in, it just fits perfectly. In fact, everything fits perfectly. I really like how it builds up at the end and everything comes together excellently.

Oh, n btw. " i don't think i have a chance in the music career though." HAHAHAHAHA... You could probably put these masterpieces up on some site and charge 75 cents for someone to download them and probably make enough money for a living.

Something that really gets me is that some people vote low on songs for no reason at all. How on EARTH can this have a 2.5? It should be way up there... >>.<< I think I'll vote 5 a few times...

Your songs really deserve more recognition... these should really have more like their current downloads times 10. Or maybe times 20. Where did all the people go?

Whoa, that was long. I thought I had outdone myself last time... ha!

crud responds:

wow, that's 4 paragraph review...badass!!! i was thinking i wouldn't get any for this one...

first off i'm glad you liked the choice in title,and it m,ade me smile to see that my wokr with blending was noticed.

second of all, i guess i should still consider a music career as on sidethought, seeing as how i have so many supporters already.

thirdly, i really can't explain why there is so little downloads for highly acclaimed songs. I bet if you asked Paragonx9 and Dreamscaper why they have so many downloads, they probably would have just as good a guess as me.

lastly, i think someone is purposefully voting down my songs, because it seems that ALL the songs seem to go down at once. whatever makes people feel better about themself.

there i beat you for the length of repsonse,;) haha, keep on rockin man!

[God Of Stryph© by Bladen]

Im not sure why it has 4k downloads...

But good job. I mean, it isnt the greatest song I have ever heard, but it does have a nice beat, nice synths and just sorta dancish. So even though its not on my top 5 list (even though I dont have one) good job making 4k people happy with it, thats a huge accomplishment because even people like RageIV and ParagonX9 top at about 2k d/ls. I dont know what it is, but GJ.

Keep making songs, listening to this Seramite song which I like a good amount more.

bladen-stryph responds:

This song is "usually" loved or hated. Nothing in between. I guess I lucked out with the DL's, I have ton's for this one and Seramite(FULL) but all the others have nothing. This was my first song posted so you could say beginners luck lol. Anyway, I appreciate the review. Hope to hear more from you when I put up my new tracks.

[Jump into summer]

Great. Just... great.

You are probably the best unknown audio creater on NG. Your newer songs are really good. I could (and do) listen to this for hours on end without getting bored. The nice blend of piano, synth (I think) shakers, drums... everything just fits together. Look at that, 17 downloads and 5 (now 6) reviews. Most audios I've seen have around 300 d/ls when they have 5 reviews.

I also agree with the last guy, The audio portal needs some major work, its like the guy working on it decided to quit halfway through. People need to review and vote more, and there needs to be like... ah, the whole thing needs to be more like the flash portal.

Wow, thats long. I really said a lot there. I eagerly await your next piece :-)

crud responds:

I am in awe of your words. Thank you so much dude. That just make me wanna make more and more music for you guys.. Yeah, i noticed that i get a lot of reviews but not alot of downloads. And to tell you the truth. i love it. i am so glad that so many of you guys leave reviews!!!! thank you

[Simple Beat]

More... need more.

It looks like you voted 5 on each of your audios, which is bad. You really shouldnt do that. The beats nice, but its only repeated 4 times and then thats all. Add some meleody and some accompianiment, and then you'll have a nice tune.

[Sober Suzie]

Great songs!

I was just browsing your folder and I must admit that your songs are good. They have the nice techno feel to them and are nice just to listen to. Noticed that you responded to all your reviews, so I'm asking what program do you use?

Anyway, excellent job.

crud responds:

i'm just tickled with your kind words, and glad you took the time to listen to a few!

The program i use and have been using for like 2 years is Fruity Loops. it's funny though, there is still parts in it that are demos, so end up having to make songs in one take (ravioli)
have an Excellent day!

[Relax and Chill]

Now that I've payed more attention

I just listened to your three songs and I must admit I'm impressed. I haven't heard songs this good and this well put together in a long time. Good job on all of them. Your work and effort is shown in each. Very nice!

[Alien Takeover (2:20)]

Very nice job on this.

You did a really good job on this. Normally the different instruments wouldnt fit together well and the song would turn out like trash. This song however, works well and its nice to listen to.

TBF responds:

Thanks a lot, I messed around with so many samples when I made this its not funny, I finally decided on these samples, as I thought they sounded better.

[Computer Talk]

Good... Very good.

Although very repetitive, it has a nice feel to it. I gotta ask, what program do you use to make this? Just curious.

I used Reason 2.5
