[CIRCUIT WOLF]

Grooove-tastic

I have never understood how ppl become natural IDM-"I like the music that changes alot" type of ppls but your one of them. I have always made such repetitive and looped based music. This track does flip around a lot-it is hard to grasp the central focal point as tho there are a bunch of stories going on at once that all create one big cinematic event. -It's good tho~
Some of the sounds-scapes are frickin' amazing! especially the one in the end!!!

Imma have to check out more...

Keep it wildstyle!

[Project X-1067]

Great 1st submission!

Great first submission!
I can't tell which Project X I like better!?!

The melodies are fun in this track-and basic presets FL smesh-L--who cares if it sounds dope right!!! Good rollercoaster ride of build ups and break downs! You have good ideas and a mind for music.

Keep pumpin' the bass!!

Thanks man!

[F-777 Project X-0002]

Not too shabby

From some of the other reviews it seemed as though you are using a lot of basic FL things-I am not a FL user so I can't pick any of that out very easily, but this track is pretty cool with the sliding lead and the staccato hits! ---I wish I had the time to be bored and decide to make dance music lol

You will learn you program and begin to create deep original sounds-scapes of your own as long as you keep trying to put out good music like this!
I'll boost you with a five!!

Keep it wildstyle!

Damn Compression Lossy Format

Least I hope it was the MP3 compression that made the abss end of this song sound like goob. The melodies where not bad, and lots of interesting breaks. Like another reviewer said, the key change was a little unexpected and odd. There are elements to this song that I could not accomplish-imo. Find your niche, your sound, your theme, and create great music!

Keep it wildstyle!

Dj-Ene responds:

indeed it's the compression that's making the bass sounds wierd.

And thx for the review:)

[Rig - Nebula]

Space is the Shit

Aight dood, this would be a perfect ambient track, except, oooh I hate to say it because you did a good job programming it, BUT...the bass in my opinion detracts from the song in the begining all up to about a 1:30 into the track. If you were to fill it in when the melody sorta picks up there it would be cool! Sorry...one other thing that I might have tried if it was me, is to use the bass just a little bit around the 1 minute mark where you have those massive whole notes hanging on forever and then drop it right before the small breakdown before that 1:30 like i described above. You did some cool things with the bass later on tho that I liked, with the pitch bends and such. But then again as the song carried on it seemed to me that the bassline detracted from the overall feel of the song in some parts.

All that aside, it is a wonderful and dreamy peice. LOL -it reminds me of the game Spiro. And I am very appreciative that I get to d/l it for future pleasure listening. My G/F loves laid back music like this! Thanks! 5/5 anyways

Keep it wildstyle!

ps. I think I looped this on my music player like twenty times now while reviewing lol

Rig responds:

Yeah, I think the bass could've been cleaned up a bit as well. It's all the harmonics. Were you listening with headphones? It sounds a whole lot cleaner with some speakers.

[Rig - Mindless Adventure]

Intruiging!

There is a very cool mixture of sounds here. A little heavy in the delay and reverb department. The drums sound live?! Loop, or something you did?
And what else did you do to comprise this rich sound? I like the phat sounding bass, and how upbeat this track is!

VERY NIIICE!
5/5 -D/L-

~JAG~

Rig responds:

Thanks for the review! The drum sounds are sampled, actually. I just arranged them and added some reverb. Everything here was made with FREE SYNTHS. The bass was made with a vsti called FreeAlpha, and the melodies were made with an AWESOME plugin called String Theory 1.5. I highly recommend it. :-D

[Rig - Concentrate]

Orgasmic

Right from the start it had a pleasing sound, and so I listened, and I reviewed, and now I am satisfied. Not bad-worthy of a d/l. Its rather repetitive in the bass and percussive parts; a little break in these elements may add more tact to this track. I like the delay on the main synth. Nice mix. The ending wasn't good tho because it just stops :(

I'll still d/l!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

Rig responds:

I know it stops suddenly. It's not supposed to do that, it's supposed to loop cleanly. I'll fix it. Thanks for the review!

[DirtySpaceboy]

DOOD!!!

I don't think I ever reviewed this track, yet it is one I listen to most out of all the NG songs I have ever downloaded!! I can't believe this. Honestly, I don't know how I ever stumbled upon this nearly two years ago but it has alway been one of my favorites! It just seems like all is in dark dispare with no hope for future in this song. Everything seems to get decimated and destroyed. The title is very fitting-like I have said before: you paint very vivid pictures with your music, and crazy emotions.

Keep making great music my friend!

~JAG~

Rucklo responds:

Thanx! :)

[Rucklo - Motion Mastered]

Good-ness

Once again you have created another track that fits my picky tastes. You never cease to satisfy me, lol.
I love the samples and idm elements to it. And the upbeat drums that come in are cool. You always have this dark side to your tracks that paint great pictures and pull out odd emotions while listening.

It may be my system, but it seemed that you could have pushed the levels up just a little bit more. As they say tho: Louder isn't alway better.

Keep it wildstyle!

[Ultimate Basshunter Song Remix]

Damn Compression B/S

Okay so this song would be real cool to listen to if the quailty didnt suck so bad. I know it's not your fault. This would have really nice power to the synths if it was in a better bit-depth. You'll have to get me that full version.

I am glad to hear from the other reviews that you improved on the original song, but unfortunately I haven't heard the original and can't really comment. Like I said before this song would rock the house in full quality. I can hardly listen to it on this page tho :(

Yes, I am an audiophile.
Great collab!
I'll drop you a five!! YESSIR!

Keep it wildstyle!

x-Exodus-X responds:
