[SR - Final Farewell]

This is wonderful.

Seriously, top-notch work on this one. The ambience in the beginning was great; I would've considered this an awesome track if it stayed just like that throughout the whole thing... but no, you had to out-do yourself and throw in some kick-ass beats (the panning near the end is especially nice)

That chimey-vibey-synth is fantastic as well... in fact, all the sounds go together flawlessly. If this is any indication of how your ep is turning out, you can definitely put me down for a copy. Overall this sounds very professional. A Perfect 10. Brilliant work.

SineRider responds:

Haha thanks man.

Most of the EP is similar in some way to this song. (An edited version of this is going on it too)

I love that chimey synth too. It really is one of the better synths I've ever made.

The EP version, I mastered better, and took off that distorted drums near the end.

I may have to hit you back, eventually :)

very nice

I've only heard the first four measures or so, and I can already say that this is freakin' good. Waiting for it to break out into beat-o-rific awesomeness...
...
Aah, There it is. Not exactly what I expected, but it works. And vocals too? Very nice. This is really cool. I have no clue what to expect next... ah, there's that groovy beat I was looking for earlier. Awesome. And then it breaks back out into all sorts of wicked distortion and such... Overall, the only thing against this track is the sound quality, mainly at the distorted sections... but then, this *is* in the "indie" genre, so I can let it slide. Great ending too. 5/5.

Nostrap responds:

thanks for the review. the low sound quality is due to the low mp3 quality. this song is 5:10 so i had to compress it a lot. I assure you that a higher quality version sounds much cleaner.

[Kill robot kill.]

very cool

I actually like the guitar sound you used, maybe even better than the real thing. The drums are nice and slow; quite groovy indeed. Not sure about the rhodes though... either way, good stuff.

[Mutzi Schnutzi (2:40)]

wickedly mellow...

At first, the switching between major-7 chords and minor chords seemed a bit un-natural (sorry if I'm not absolutely correct in terminology; it's been a while since music theory classes...), but after a few repetitions I got used to it. The reverb, matched with the strong low-end sound, really does wonders for the mood of this track. Overall, it really is quite beautiful. Excellent composition, excellent performance; makes me want to take my acoustic out and practice a bit more often. 5/5.

WinTang responds:

Cheers ap, I've been picking it up since I saw that Andy McKee fellow on YouTube, hehe. Thanks a lot!

[(_RGH_) Fear Lagoon(Submerge)]

you know, that other guy was right...

This is indeed, for some reason, oddly reminiscent of something from Bomberman 64. Such a good game... I hope it comes out for the VC... but I digress. I like this track. Nothing spectacular, but I can't find anything wrong with it, and it grooves along pretty nicely for its duration. Subtle effects here and there add a lot to the overall sound. Would work well as background music... which may be why it's under the videogame genre. 9/10, 5/5

RyeGuyHead responds:

N64 was the shit

[-=LJC=- Atonal Rythmic Noise]

This is awesome.

I love this kinda stuff... I honestly am not sure what sort of feedback to give for something like this... The speed change was great, the rhythms were fantastic, the atonality was bitchin'... although I could sense a distinct tonic key, so I suppose it could've been slightly more atonal. +1 download (now you need 5 more...) 5/5

you should check out "Rhythm Monsters"
a track I did with the same sort of idea
"Atonal Rythmic Noise"
although I'll admit mine's not completely atonal either...

LJCoffee responds:

"sense a distinct tonic key" - that's most likely coming from the vocoders - there are several of them in there and so that's the most likely cause.

I suppose "Anti-Melodic" would have been better than Atonal but... meh... :)

Left you a review on "Rhythm Monsters"

Thanks again!

[Solus- Endless Space Expanded]

very nice

I must admit, I kept expecting/wanting it to break out with a kick-ass drum beat or something, but maybe I'm just in that kind of mood. Or maybe you just did a really good job of creating tension... in a soothing sort of way. Either way, excellent use of synths and combinations of melodies. 5/5.

SolusLunes responds:

You want it to do something like that?

I'll send you the .flp if you want. :D

[SR - Sunday Morning -FINAL-]

great work

How the hell did this have a 2.86? Honestly, sometimes I wonder about the IQ levels of the people who rate music on this site... This track is very very good; you pulled off the BoC sound quite nicely. Very smooth, very mellow, very good. 5/5

[dj_padman - Renegade Glitch]

How do you do it?

Jeez man, you just keep churning out tracks like nobody's business... and they all kick ass! How the hell do you do it? Is this all you do all day, every day? I mean, c'mon; it takes me a week or so to finish a decent song, and you've got two a day!? Get outta here... 5's & dl's all around. Good grief...

dj-padman1 responds:

Hey, I dont know what do tell ya, I'm a machine.
Well, actually, I'm on holidays now, so I can finally go back to all the half finished tracks I was working on during term time. So its not as if I'm making these things from scratch!
Thanks for the review. Always appreciated.

[Tease me (1:04)]

Fantastic!

The stuttering/stopping is priceless. I love everything about it. Well, except the length. It's too short. I want more. I honestly don't know what else to say. Fuckin' ace. 10/10, 5/5, dl.

WinTang responds:

Crap, I was afraid of that - this already took ages, haha. But it's lots of fun! I definitely plan on making this into a longer track, I'll give it some priority now. Thanks a lot!
