[[Kieda] Yearning Hearts]

Relax

Really enjoy the relaxing tone of this song. Gives a feeling of warmth and that everything will be alright as you hug your best friend who is crying because they will be leaving you soon for a university. A montage shows what becomes of the two of you over several months taking completely different paths in life but meeting up several years later and putting the band together at last as you both had promised each other.

The piano is very calming and makes you feel rather happy as you listen to it make you feel good. The synth is nicely done here as well. The windy background effect is really nice here. The drums are cool and kind of give a feeling moving forward in time with hope.

Overall, very calm and happy piece.

As a side note, RRC seems to have a lot of active reviewers atm, great :D

[[dj-Jo] Electric Cove]

Neat

Well it truly does have a nice party feel to it I think and makes you kind of want to groove yourself as well actually which makes it all the better I think. The song gets you into a groove and makes me see people dancing with strobe lights going on in the background to give a cool freeze frame like effect to the dance floor.

The synth sounds pretty cool and reminds me of the song She's a Pony as well for some reason. The wood hitting with the drum beat was clever indeed and gives a feel that that would be the perfect time to break it down on the dance floor. The bass is nice and feels like a deep hit then relaxing and repeating a lot.

Overall, great party song.

Groove

Sounds pretty nice on the ears anyways and I like it a lot too. The starting bell feel makes you think of kittens and someone just holding them and enjoying the company of them too. Very calming ambient feeling piece as well, not bad at all. Makes you feel really happy as well so I like it quite a bit too.

The synth and bell make a nice combination and give a feel of being able to just smile at everyone who walks past you while you pet your cat. The drums give a feel as if you were watching the cat run inside its dreams and having a great time as well. The bass give a solid groove of happiness.

Overall, very solid and nice.

[2011 Rabidsquirl Voice Demo]

Good talent

You have a very good voice talent and see you use good amount of accents as well too. Really nice voices though and I like them. Would be cool if you put down a list of where all the voices came from as well so people can watch and appreciate them as well.

Overall, nice.

Rabidssquirrel responds:

Thankyou very much! I didn't think people would care too much from the source of the voices. Half of them I wrote, the other half came from auditions or other various projects! I may include a list because you mentioned it though :)

Thanks a bunch!

[[FR] Void]

Spaced

Well I get a feel of it showing someone waking up in a field of roses only for them to actually wake up and see everything around them in ruin as they pick themselves up and begin to walk forth. They wonder why the fighting tournament wound up like this as they pull out their sword. They look around and begin dashing forward and a quiet manner scouting the area. He notices a female who had entered slowly dying and has a small conversation with her trying to piece together what is going on.

He puts her on his back and moves forth so he can get her a resting area while he finishes up the tournament in her place. He wants things to return to normal but it appears that finishing the tournament is the only way for that to happen. He rushes forth as a light comes down and a ladder finds him. He rushes back to grab her then climbs the ladder as they figure out that they are being escorted to the area for the final round.

The ambient bell feel and synth give an atmosphere feel of just an empty void place that once looked great being torn apart from within by those who are blinded by greed in the tournament. The drums are calming and give a feel that you can keep on going and never have to give up either.

Overall, calming.

[A Bowl of Spaghetti]

Pretty cool

Feels like a retro video game boss song beginning to start up as you head to the final battle. I am guessing that buzzing going back and forth from the start was meant to represent an airship right? Very nice touch there, gives the feel of you flying into the last battle really. The tune has a battle feel which is good.

The airship sound is very nice to hear. The dub sounds and the drums give a feeling of subtle piece and allow you to know things are about to get real chaotic as well. The whistling and orchestra were really nice to listen to as they give the dynamic feel of battle to the song.

Overall, very dynamic pre-final boss song.

Rampant responds:

Retro video game boss music? That would be a pretty good application of this music, even though it's not how I intended it to sound... I hope a Flash author will be able to find a use for it as pre-battle music, then :)

I'm glad you like the 'airship bass,' at first I wasn't really sure about it when I wrote the line, but I left it in because it grew on me as I kept working on the track. Automation panning by note, by hand, is really tiresome! haha

Thanks for the review,

[KKS - Contact]

Much a story

Well I like how it starts it kind of feels like you are watching a movie start up with the text showing the title and such. It shows a person in a cloak looking over the city while a helicopter passes over him standing on a rooftop as they try to find out why strange creatures are attacking the city. He looks up and takes notice of them simply grunting before jumping off the roof and warping to the ground to get away.

The helicopter leaves and soon a dark creature emerges beginning to destroy the helicopter. The figure looks up hoping they can end it all soon as they run up the building towards the creature in question. Before he can begin the battle though more helicopters come thinking he was responsible.

He holds out the swords he created from his mind long ago knowing he must try avoiding the helicopters while destroying the mysterious foe as well. The battle begins but can he actually make it away as well?

I like how this seems to have a bit of an industrial feel to it actually. Gives a strange feel of something is going on there.

The chorus is very calming and sounds nice. I like the watering down sound I hear in the back that sounds a bit like rubber being flicked and watching it rebound a lot. The violin is very calming and well put too. The drums are nice and smooth as they provide a solid beat that keeps the mystery swordsman moving.

Overall, very nice story like song, I like it.

KKSlider60 responds:

From your reviews, you seem to have a predisposition towards action or horror-like scenarios, by imagining them. I think your visions are pretty original and I realize they could go well with the track as well. Heh, thank you for the compliments and review, I can always count on the review request club (that's why I still have its link stuck in my forum signature). ;D

[=(Discord)=]

Chaotic

Just like Discord is!! However in the end, the power of happiness and friendship gets rid of him once more and nets that team a second window pane dedicated to them. This tune really has a nice feel to it. Would really enjoy seeing it used as a boss track too since that is mainly how it feels here. Like how this dubstep is not very heavy on the dubbing which can be annoying in some cases.

The synth sounds quite nice and I like the after bass effect it seemed to be carrying. The drums sounds really good here as well and have a deeply retro feel to them as well. The dub sounds are just kind of coming into the song and making it pick up in a nice way. Almost making it feel like a heavy boss battle piece.

Also like how it starts in dub and goes down then goes back into dub, kind of gives the illusion the song will end only for the dub sounds to come right back to your ears.

Overall, you should see the look on your faces!! Nice piece.

coleknows responds:

I thought that would of been perfect to add that discord clip in the song :P
I sent this one to seth and i have a strong feeling it will be on EQ daily. Its not going to be on here though sadly. Its soundcloud but still....yeah.

And you got what i was trying to do exactly right. I was trying to make it sound chaotic and random like how he is. I wish it was longer but god it was such a pain to make this though because of all the new stuff i tried. Now, on to the trance stuff :P

[You Breaked My Piano]

Seems alright

Although as I hear the whole piece it kind of just ... feels real generic. I don't really feel any kind of story and see any scenes being painted in my head as I hear this. Can kind of see a grassy field and someone falling up for some reason as I hear this one though.

The drums seem alright and kind of make me think of the Everfree Forest anyways. The very light piano in the back sounds as if it were trying to be creepy as well. The dub sounds were ok I guess.

Overall, not too bad for a start anyways but kind of falls on the bland side, not too bad.
