[Greater Haze]

Trippy game

This sounds like it would be a trippy song for a later level in some kind of video game where you hunt for something not truly there or possibly have to battle with a boss as well to complete the level. Very nice piece of work though and I enjoy this one too.

The guitar and synth work well together to create a heavy solid rhythm to help the rest of the song get lifted up. It helps paint the imagery of this song as well. The drums at the end were just amazing and give a feel of the boss having been defeated and the next level slowly starting up too. The bass is also very well done here.

Overall, amazing piece of work.

[A Trip Into My Own Hell]

Rather interesting

Well this one feels like it would go well into a horror movie of some kind with post apocalyptic scenery. Very beautiful dark sounding song as well. It just feels like you are stuck somewhere and while you wish to escape something keeps you from leaving, someone interesting is there yet you are unaware of what it is too. You keep going trying to discover what it all means.

The drums here are very nice and dark feeling. Feels like there is a bit of a filter on them to make them sound a bit heavier yet lighter in sound area. The bass was considerably dark feeling to me and gave a feel of a dark rhythm as you try to find the answers. The synth sounds really dark like you were sticking to the darker notes here.

The slow down near the end gives an idea and feeling as if the person was passing out for some reason too, not bad at all.

Overall, very dark and strange feeling, excellent job here.

OrphenFire responds:

Thanks for the review (: Your interpretation of the song is quite fitting. Glad you liked it.

[[--Voices of Ecstasy--]]

Awesome

I can rap to this actually since lyrics come to me on this one. Maybe I will try it this once. Sounds like a perfect rap beat as well for something mellow or possibly raising up to sounding harsh. Really nice to hear it.

The drums are nice on the ears and I enjoy them too. The vocals are cheery and nice on the ears too. I like the piano and bell sounds that I keep hearing on this one as they give a feeling of niceness to the beat I think. No bass which is cool with me.

Overall, awesome rap beat, should leave it as it is. :D

DJM00se responds:

its actually got bass haha! but its not in your face bass! thanks for the review!

[JohnRobertson&TheMidnightWine]

Wonderful

Well I certainly do enjoy the classiness of this song and the vocals fit right to a tee as well actually. Very touchy song too since the beat kind of feels like making you do slow dancing as well actually. Very well done song though.

The bass here is real captivating and seems to draw you into listening as well. The guitar sounds pretty nice and reminds me of Cream a bit actually which is pretty cool in a way I think. The drums are very simple and help the song keep going. Then you got the vocals to help carry the message. Very well done.

Overall, great blues song!!

[Some clip]

Enjoyable

Kind of has an industrial slight feel to it but for the most part it has a very nice atmosphere to it. Possibly a theme for the Everfree Forest maybe when you are nearing it and getting ready to enter maybe? Very nicely done though for that much anyways. I would not mind hearing a full version of this anyways? Was this in ableton or garageband?

The drums and claps make for a nice combination and the slight echo effect on some hits gives a nice feel of going somewhere far off and maybe never being able to turn back as the forest engulfs your personality and your mind becomes twisted with the thoughts that no one cares for you anymore and thus a spark of Nightmare Moon that was left comes and slowly begins to take over your body and mind corrupting your thoughts to where you can no longer think clearly.

The The synth gives a slight feeling of hope though that as she takes over your mind and slowly morphs you into something weird looking being your mind but your body overcome with darkness that you may still have people who care for you. Hearing that Nightmare Moon has returned the Mane six coming looking for her unaware it is only you but you fight them unaware that Nightmare Moon is controlling you and twisting your thoughts. The bass gives a soothing feeling too.

Overall, I like it, would love to hear a full version soon. ^_^

coleknows responds:

Thanks man and hey, this would work well for an everfree forest theme. Just would have to make it a little darker, thats all.

Also, unfortunately i made this with garageband. I just can't stay away from it :P
I will try to make a full version after im done with a request, and this dnb song.

[Highway One]

Classy

Well the guitar here sounds very classy and I like the light echo effect you left here on the song as well. Gives a feeling of peace as well. I can also see someone walking on a highway while this song plays in the background too. This is a beautiful guitar song I think. It could make a great music video as well actually. Very well composed.

Really just enjoy how you layered the guitars on each other too. The bass line here is smooth and helps the song keep on moving ahead. The drums carry a smooth rhythm and beat that makes you feel like they are at their ends trying to figure out how to move ahead in life too. Then the guitar keeps on coming and giving more hope. Beautiful song.

Overall, really love this song, nice first entry.

freakinjoe35 responds:

Thanks for the feedback, and for taking the time to listen! A lot of what you said in your review -particularly the emotions and imagery - was what I was going for when I recorded the song, so I'm glad it came across even in this rough recording.

[Around the World (Mini Remix)]

Entertaining

Well this turned out rather well and to be quite enjoyable as well. The beat seems rather well done too. Like how it starts away from the tune and then quickly becomes a remix of the tune which is really swell. Can't really find much I don't like about it. I guess you could have added in something else to act as vocals I guess.

The synth sounds cheery and very well done. The bell synth was happy feeling on the ears as well too. The bass is completely bouncy and a pleasure to listen to. The vocals were and the drums with claps made for a nice combination, very nice work there.

Overall, very nice tune.

YakovlevArt responds:

Hahaha, yeah actual vocals from the original would have been sick touch, but i felt the track was too short for the vocals.

If I find myself making another 90's remix, I'll make sure to add original vocals =]

Thanks for the review buddy.

[BAZ - Survival]

Catchy

Well I liked the vocals at the start in the song and then the beat feels like it begins to pick itself up and form very quickly I think which is nice. Could easily do some kind of robot dance to this anyways which makes it pretty neat I think. Very nicely done trance beat, I enjoy it anyways.

The bass is real heavy here and seems to carry the whole song as well while playing a great bass riff think. The drums sound rather simple and help the beat move along for the most part. The synth when it does come on just sounds like the bass but has a really cool rhythm to go with it I think. Very nicely done beat, I like it a lot. Sounds cool.

Really enjoyed the synth breakdown since it felt like the start to a boss battle there and then the rest of the song came back in to help finish it all up. Very nice work there. The claps were a nice touch.

Overall, great trance beat, very catchy.

[A Deep Breath {Frozen}]

Video gaming

This sounds like it would make for a very nice snow or freezing cold level in a video game actually. Really enjoy the tone of it and how it feels completely chilled out as well. Very nice work, slow to start up the beat but it gives that cold feel like you need to get somewhere to warm up as well. Not bad at all.

The bass has a nice sound to it and I like how it lingers for a bit after the note is hit. The windy effect here is great and gives the feel of actually kind of being stuck out there in the snow as well trying to find someplace to go inside and get warm so you don't freeze.

The synth has a lighthearted charm to it as if showing you that someone out there cares for your well being and is asking you to come inside so you won't freeze. The drums are light in beat and very nice on the ears.

Overall, nice chilly beat, I enjoy it.

lazy-dave responds:

Wow quite the analysis there, but I love it! You're pretty much spot on with the feel I wanted to get, you even mentioned things I didn't really think about. Makes me wonder if I should put more thought into some songs. Thanks for the in-depth review, always appreciate them!
