[Sungazer (OM)]

Great song!

The first thing i really liked about your song was the bass and the drums, the subby kicks and low bass sounded great. The pad breakdown to the pluck breakdown was very nice transition, but the anti climax is really big teaser for me but just in my opinion it was not needed but it still gave a nice touch to the song. When the melody came back in it was really nice and fun to listen to. I really loved the sidechaining in this song but maybe a bit less would make it sound more dreamy/trancey. I really liked the structure and melody of the song alot, and i really think the sidechain was a huge role into making it sound great, but of course everything else was nice too, and the way you ended the song was perfect, nothing sudden or awkward.

overall 9.5/10

5/5 4.42 / 5.00 (+ 0.034)

My grammar is probably fucked so I hope some of this makes sense and helps :D.

Kr1z responds:

-Bass and drums: aay, worked hard on them. Thx!
-Pad & pluck breakdown: I put alot of effort in these and I'm glad it worked out :)
-I'm not sure about the anti climax :D
-I could lessen the sidechaining a tad.. That might indeed be better :)
-Sidechaining is indeed a huge role, I'm glad it worked out. And glad you like my melody too :D
-Ending indeed nothing sudden, just slowly ending.

Thx for the review!!

[Don't F Me]

awesome

damn it the beeps are way too annoying

[Progressive Trance]

good

But i woudn't say this is progressive trance at all. If anything it could be hard trance or dance. I liked the uplifting melody, however i didn't like the bass, it was just too bland. I also think it was a bad idea using the bass as a pad.. Progressive trance is completley different :/, take a listen to Karco's or Sungazer's stuff on here for quality progressive trance. Or you could take a listen to my latest song to get a moderate feel of progressive trance. But props to you on the melody it was pretty nice, although a bit repetitive. But i do agree this song could use some effects and a couple of touch ups. Overall good!

7.5/10

5/5 4.32 / 5.00 (+ 0.023)

If you want you can review me back and give me some critizsm, but if you are going to do that make sure you do it on Midnight Illusion :D. Hoping to hear this finished!

[SawVerb Dark]

This almost sounds like GOA

I like it alot, and i really like the cool melody's with that sligthly distorted saw/lead (i think) but i actually didn't like the gritty lead so much i dont know why, but i feel like there could have been better choices. But i like the bass sound around 3:00. I think its just me though.. I also felt that a couple of more intruments could have been added to make it more complex and cool. the drums are really well done, i like them alot. overall though i liked the song. My favorite thing about it is the cool melodys, and if you want you can check out my new WIP that im working on, its called midnight illusion, i would like to hear your opinion on it! Anyways keep up the great work really liked the song man looking forward to hearing more!

Vertigo1986 responds:

Thanks Outlaw! Glad you enjoyed this song.

For a while i was thinking of leaving out the pad but it grew on me haha!

Believe it or not the 3:00 bass you heard was played earlier in the song but was hidden! haha

Currently there are 42 layers running through this baby so i am not sure 1 or 2 more instrumentals would really change it that much ahaha!

but ill fool around with it and update this as i go :)

[~McE~ Playing Live 2]

you always deliver!

sweet composition and melody, i like the use of your strings and choir in all your songs. but any how do you have AIM or MSN? i messaged you awhile ago about it but you never responded so yeah lololo

[-Holding On-]

Sick

The intro was just jaw dropping, it really gave a nice chilling atmosphere. The bass for some reason reminded me of ferry corsten, not that it's a bad thing haha i actually think it made the song even more interesting. I like the sidechaining, its always good. I really liked the melody's and the ass around 4:40.. It was bad ass. The piano quality and melody was really good as well. It sounds like you used your guitar to make this song.. thats awesome. Anyways great song man!

9.5/10

5/5 4.12 / 5.00 (+ 0.054)

Can't wait for more tracks!

Take care.

[Hot Pink Mink ]D.M.[]

:/...

the melody is from spyro's electro bass :/ but i like some of the effects you used and the bass and i recognize that vocal sample from somewhere... i think i heard it in waterflame's song called metropolis. well anyway i thought this was okay...

Darren-M responds:

1st this melody is from nowhere exept from vague influences and my own imagination

2nd yes, lol this you have probably head this sample because many people use vector samples.

3rd thanks for the review

[Crumb 'N' Gas]

bryce

Rock on.

InvertedScrotum responds:

thanx)

[yo gramamammies a punk]

wat

It was a decent song, and they lyrics were okay. But don't worry your almost there! with just a couple of vocal lessons you could really make some great songs. but for the effort you get A for affort(hehe, what I meant was effort!) I'm not a fan of the strings you used because I don't think it accommodates with some of the other sounds that you used, but the production quality was really great! The drum roll was simply epic. This is honestly one of the best peices of music in the 21st century. This song puts nothing but joy and emotion into my heart and I am automatically pulled in. Life would be so exceptionally better with your music spread across the landmasses, for the starving children in africa will have something to tap their feet to, the Russians to trepak to, and for every man's musical pleasures. Possibly all world concerns can be solved with the epicness of this song in all it's glory. Thank you sir, there is indeed a God watching over us.

overall 10/10 0/5. 3.90 / 5.00 (- 0.06969699116666666penutbut3r)
