[Solus- Forever Never]

Yey for Solus makin more music!

Yep. You have done a good twist of genres again. Can't help but be reminded of Circus Solei when the synth lead comes in. Good job on the guitar solo with the bends and all. Smooth notation. Some spots seemed discordant with the synth lead...but I would have prolly mixed down the lead for the GTR solo there. A lil mix automation woulda fixed that right up. The timpani sounded a lil cheesey in spots. Nice brass work! Good fill in the begining with the snare. Exactly the way I like to do it and hear it done. I give you as many thumbs up on my hands as possible, and perhaps I can find a cadavre to give you a few more.... or try some NG Stars and this review.

SolusLunes responds:

I suppose you're right with toning down the mix so the guitar would be more prevalent at that point, buuuuuuuuuuuuuut I just didn't think of it.

I liked the timpani- it may have been cheesy, but it was what I needed it to be. :D

[Solus- For Schala]

10 BRO!!

I can't even put into words the admiration I have for you and your fellow soldiers! Thank you so much for fighting for what is right in our country! Sorry if this review burns you but I must state my gratitude! You have created a smooth piece of music in a state of heated politics and unfair diplomacy. Great job here. The piano pieces are easy to listen to and the mix of other instruments fits well overall. Great job comrade (if I so may say!) As I always say keep making music because you alway appease me with what ever genre you may fall into....golly I hate genres!!

Keep it wildstyle!!!! God bless!!

[Rig - Stardust Backwards]

Ha FUN

It really does seem as tho you just listened to the future rewind the past or the present just happend ago?! "Lets do the time warp"?

Er, yeah it was interesting lol Some stuff backwards just sounds cool.

Keep it wildstyle!

Rig responds:

Backwards rules. Yay!
Thanks for the review!

[~returning~]

thump thump

This track got a little muddy.Work on your mixing and EQ so you can get some clear sounding tunes. This song got really busy though, it was a little amusing :]

Cool ideas here. Keep working with FL and learning up on it!

Keep it wildstyle!

bibotheking responds:

thx for the review, and i'll keep it...er...Wildstyle.

[Darkness Rising]

the title works

Not sure on the genre, but who really cares about those titles anyway.

This track was okay. You could work on you mixing. The bassline seemed overbearing, while your drums seemed lower and distant. Also very cliche sounding samples. Nice sweeping pads tho. Very lo key track :]

Cool guitar/harp sounding synth melody.

Keep it wildstyle!

ShootingStar responds:

Haha :) Thanks for the review!

[SR - Mars]

:] I luv audio for this.

It was very slow to evolve in the begining. But then you added a few interesting drum fills. Very erie and dissonant sounding. The hammer like thing sounds so distant and cavernous-like with that verb u put on it.

Ooh, dang. very nice after the breakdown when the beat comes in. Really good glitch there. I am envious. The warbled synth near the end was a little odd, but you got away with it. Great programming!

SineRider responds:

thaanks man :D

[Treasure These Moments]

Guess you took me to another place in time :]

Very chill yet gripping. Haha-I always contradict myself...

I like the vocal element, and the guitars through more emotion on top. The drums could been mixed up better. I miss the kick. IN some ways you could almost bring more dramatics to this peice if you have that kick thumping-almost as though it would be dictating the rythem of your own heart beat as you get lost in this one. A mistake I usually make would be to push the bassline up more-for some reason I would just like a little more rumble outta my woofer. I really enjoy the sweeps/swells.

Good track none the less. Do you play the guitar? Wish I could add that rawness to my music.

Keep it wildstyle!

pitbulljones responds:

cheers for the review. Tis a chillign track, i agree. gripping too hehe, i make contradicting music.

Thats not a bad idea that using the kick as a dictator, hmmmm not bad at all. yea wrong sample choice does need more oooomph that kick. It's not really a bass on this tis a rhodes piano setting, i didn't really want a hard bass, but i understand most people would expect it. Yep i do play guitar, i'm more of a rhytmn than a lead guitarist which is why you don't hear major fret wankings compare to the metal heads. but less is more sometimes.

Thanks for the review.

[-=LJC=- Chopped Tech *Loop*]

Diippa dappa wohoohooo dop a doo dit

Dang, this sounds like one of those lil files that comes in a huge loop pack that some kid just got after his mammy bought him ACID Pro or something lol. And then the noob kid would go and loop the hell out of it and add a bunch of other stuff that would just shame your simple (complex&structured) loop.

Nice one. You gave us lots to listen to in this short little bit. I keep hearing new things here and there. Cool bro!

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

LJCoffee responds:

Ha ha - Well, if it sounds like an AcidPro loop then I guess I did alright on it. Thanks man!

[-=LJC=- Peripheral Observation]

Great work-time spent on this one no?

Very dissonant.

Cool lofi-ish drum rolls with a pan on em. The kick is nice and compressed like, really grabs your attention. You paint a very bizarre picture with this one. The little computer glitchy things are an awesome addition. Thanks for taking me to the world of dillusion and a trip of some sorta psychadelic drug.

ooo sweet I heard that bass drum get reversed :]

Keep it wildstyle!
JAG

LJCoffee responds:

Cool - thanks for the review. Positive feedback always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy :)

[Exactly]

Dance-Exactly-Now <-- 0_o idk

Ha ha, read some other reviews-I liked how you chewed the one dood out. But seriously couldnt you keep the melody and the beat more consistent--eck how am I suppose to dance to this--J/K

ppl are crazy.

This track IS crazy when that arpeggiated/gated high pitched synth comes in, very VG-ish :] not a bad thing tho.

Interesting snare roll/fill. This song doesnt make me cream my pants, but it is still solid.

Syntrus responds:

It was just showing my fans that I could still make trance. I love shittin on doochebags btw.
