very nice
my only suggestions:
watch the levels; there's quite a bit of seemingly un-intended distortion going on. also, I would've liked to have heard a bit more variation in the synths used... but the variation in the drums makes up for it.
Other than that, loved it. The dissonance is as thick as chocolate cake, and just as tasty. mmm... dissonance...
great work
that ending always reminds me of the water music from mario 64... I think it's the strings...
at any rate, tremendous job with the vocals. and good call doing them in spanish. perfect, perfect, perfect. not much more to be said. I agree with what that other review said, though; you two should team up and do an album. I'd buy it. Hell, I'd buy two.
cheers matey,
an album, yeh, would be good. we are definately gonna do some more collabs i think, watch this space:/
;ped
wow.
I remember listening to your music a while back and enjoying it quite a bit, but I must admit I haven't listened in a while, and now I'm blown away. I love those chime samples. wonderful, wonderful work. the entire percussion section is cooked to perfection, and the rest, while not sounding quite as realistic, is still nonetheless amazing. I don't think I've ever heard a better-sounding simulated orchestra; which is to say, if I have, I must have mistaken it for the real thing. I would've liked to have heard some more wind instruments in there too, though... I think I hear some soft, low horns... and of course that louder one (tuba?) accenting the downbeat... but I think some bassoons and oboes (and maybe even some flutes) would have spiced this up quite nicely, however already-spicey they may be.
Overall, though, wonderful arrangement, fantastic composition. I can really feel the tension of the war. I have a feeling I'll have listened to the rest of your new work by the end of the week... you, sir, are highly skilled.
Hello Attempted. It's good to hear from you again man, truly it HAS been a long time hasn't it?
I'm glad you liked this song, for a long time I was beginning to worry that my music was becoming more and more mainstream and that it was taking a direction I didn't really want it to go, but as it turns out, i'm pretty happy with it for now, so we'll see how far I can take it yes?
As for the instruments, I don't really know why I didn't add more instruments to it, it just seemed to speak better to me, something about the simplicity of it. However now as I think back on it, I really can imagine a place for an oboe, a flute mayhap... hmm, perhaps a second version is in order? Who knows.
Thank you for the review Attempted, again I am glad you enjoyed the piece, your support means a good deal to me ^^.
niiice drums & basses
the rest of the components sucked, though. all those harmonies you didn't include: they were horrible. and that vocal sample I didn't hear: 'twas horrendous.
good stuff. good stuff.
nice variation in the drums,
and great job on the bass synths.
Thanks man! I forgot to include in the description that it can be used as a loop. :D
dude... this is amazing...
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very nice. the mix... the tones... the rhythms... the atmosphere... very nice.
very very very very very very very very very very nice of you^_^
very cool
I love the mix of sounds you have going on in here; instruments all over the place. The guitar sounded a bit too lo-fi, though... I wish I had some suggestions for you, but I haven't quite figured out how to get that perfect guitar sound either. very good composition, though, and great beats!
Awesome! Thanks for your kind words and review!
I'm still trying to get on top of the recording quality for my guitars! and hoping to have it sorted soon!
Thanks again for you review
Peace Out!

highly enjoyable
this track friggin' rocks, it does. very high-energy. and I absolutely love that lead. There was one section where the line went down, then back up, and then repeated itself... I don't know if you know where I'm talking about, but I would've liked to have heard it keep going down the second time. also, the ending is a bit awkward. other than that, this track kicks major ass. well-done. 10's, 5's, and a download.
Actually, I do know what you're talking about. That's just a result of bad transitions, my fault. Thanks for the review!
good stuff.
very catchy stuff... not incredibly original, but very catchy, well-played, and well-recorded. certain parts are a tad off here and there, but it adds to the authenticity and is almost required in this style of music anyway. good stuff.
'tis good
this is a very well-put-together track, with lots of intelligent filtering and a great beat. The bass-i-ness of the whole thing seemed a bit overpowering, but that may have been part of the whole underwater feel you were going for, in which case it works well. Excellent use of whale sounds, though I would've liked to have heard more. You can never have too many whale sounds, I always say.
Thank you for your kind words :D I'm glad someone noticed my hard work.
The bass was suppose to be a somewhat over-powered since I was going for that underwater "omniscient" feel, like being surrounded by a large body of water in every direction.
I thought the whale sounds were a nice touch too ^_^ I suppose I could have used more of them through-out the track but I couldn't really find any decent places to sneak them in :/
Thanks for the good review!
very nice
it's crazy; absolutely insane. and yet, somehow it seems highly accessible. The vocals are of much higher quality than I'm used to hearing on this site... very well done... definitely a possibility for the radio show... it's original, it's stylish, it's... it's just damn good. you get 5's and 10's, a download, and my intention to take a listen to more of your stuff.
ta, glad u liked it
