[Anger Has A Place]

SO much energy

It starts out sounding pretty soft and smooth and kind of making you feel good with the various sounds being used and then it quickly changes up really quick. Have to say that the drums are the main thing standing out here as they make the song sound incredibly hyper and fast. Also what did the voice near the start say anyways?

The drums are the main piece here making the rest of the song sound incredibly hyper and amazing to say the least, nicely worked out here. The synth is soft and pretty cool here. The little weird squeak sound is cool as well.

The tune just seems to sound similar to a hyper rave piece which is pretty cool. I liked when it slowed down for a moment only to pick up speed later one. When it slowed down you can hear that voice again mixed in with the beat.

Overall, furious, fast, awesome. Good WIP. Have fun completing the future full piece.

[Race to the finish]

Racing

Yea this would make a nice race song for a video game I think. You happen to be far off in foreign land and you must race against others to get the prize at the end. Sadly no one is being told what the prize is.

I hear some influences here on this piece. I hear dupstep influence with the wubs on this one. The synth that plays the long slow notes kind of makes me think of Final Fantasy actually, neat. The drums sound good and generic which is always nice to hear.

The secondary synth plays some back and forth triplet notes which is nice. Then you have the main synth playing some loud yet short sounding long notes as well. The bass line is smooth and great.

Overall, great racing song.

[Spirited Steed (Piano Improv)]

Nicely done

It sounds really nice for a piano only song here, I do like this. It kind of feels like it was telling a small sad story showing a kid riding the bus. He gets to school and almost everyone treats him like crap and then he gets home and feels the same effect from his family as he hides away from society.

He hangs out with people who only pretend to like him hoping for entertainment as well. In the end they all abandon him and he moves far away from it. He hones his skills to being flexible, nimble, and able to knock out foes quickly. he lives alone for a long time before a girl comes and finds him two years later.

He would have been a senior this year but no one cared. For that one spark of a moment he feels happy to see the girl and she feels slightly happy to meet him. She takes him home with her, helps shave his face and body and gives him some of her clothes to wear until she gets paid and can buy him some clothes next month.

He shakes his head at the clothes she buys him and slowly begins to learn to speak again stating he had grown use to wearing only female clothes and that he did not care what people thought of his looks any more. They hug each other and he cries as he has a sibling and a friend for the first time in his life. They lay down that night in their separate beds in the same room.

Thoughts rush through his head of how life used to be. He looked at his long hair that went down to his nipples then over at his new sibling and friend and smiled before falling asleep.

Overall, very beautiful song.

Wowza that's quite some review.
Quite a tale you've spun there, an interesting one too.
Curiously enough.. I can relate to a lot of that.......... how uncanny.
I could quite easily edit a few bits here and there and it wouldn't be too far away from my own life story to some extent. ^_^

Thanks for the Review,
Glad you enjoyed the music. :)

[Ill Minds Think Alike]

Sounds good

The start was pretty nice. Kind of sounds like a cruel father beating his kids or something and then you got the lyrics kicking your teeth in. You sound pretty good for a rapper as well so that is pretty nice.

The drums sound really good almost like a war drum beat going on. The piano makes this piece sound a bit ironic and sound as well which is just sad to me. The thunder sounds make it all devious. Really fast rapping though, really fast.

Overall, ill minds most likely do think alike, nice job doing this.

[Dem Chords (wip)]

Fuzzles

I think I really have to say I liked the piano at the start since it kind of helps you relax and feel like everything is going to be alright in the end. Then the synth begins to come in along with that soft and fuzzy bass line. Those two work together and make the song sound very nice.

Then the drums are pretty cool and I like how they carry a bit of a different rhythm for this House piece as well. Then you got a low high pitch sound slowly coming in and making the piece sound very nice and good feeling once again. Enjoyed hearing the addition of some 8-bit sounds as well.

The tune seems to feel pretty happy and then you got the high wind sound that came in and makes it all feel like the song ended and then the tune begins to slowly pick back up and slightly change in tone to being a little happier than before with a new drum track that is faster.

It also picks up a new and happier synth and bass combo. I think you managed to make a very nice sounding beat on this one. If this is a work in progress I wonder how nice the final piece will be?

Overall, nice WIP even though it sounds like a full song in my opinion. :P

[ECHO - Alive [RD2011]]

Really serene

I really like the awkward composition of the drum and bass synth build up at the start. It just feels quite weird and then it picks up into a full beat that sounds rather calm and pleasing onto the ears in a way. The beat sounds like it would make great intro or credit music in my opinion as well. This just turned out to be a very well done piece.

The drums sound very nice here. They seem to carry about a rhythm of dipping down and then back up and continue to flow in this manner for almost all of the song which is great. When it stops it kind of makes you wonder what could be happening if this were in a video, does the drama stop or what? Very nice.

The synth sounds really nice and calming. I see you had a bass synth and piano playing in there as well. Alone they possibly sound great but when they all play together it just sounds a whole lot more beautiful and charming here. They just provide a rhythm that will just make you feel sort of strange but happy as well.

Lastly there are the vocals that were added into the mix. What is it saying at the very beginning? Sounds like it was trying to spell out a word. Then you have slightly electronic voices coming on and off for the rest of the song which sounds really great to me.

Overall, a very well composed piece, nice work here.

Glad you liked it. Like i said this isn't one of my prominent genres, so I was at a loss most of the time, but i tried my best to come up with something original and I'm glad to see it worked :D

The drums were particularly hard to compose since drums aren't my strong point, especially in a genre such as this, but it's good to see that you liked them.

"Lastly there are the vocals that were added into the mix. What is it saying at the very beginning? Sounds like it was trying to spell out a word. Then you have slightly electronic voices coming on and off for the rest of the song which sounds really great to me."

At the very beginning, the male robot guy is saying Activate with a glitchy stutter. The rest of the vocals are alternating between "I'll be standing here alive" and "I'll be standing here broken" and titbits from either one. But glad to see that you liked the voices, i'm particularly proud of those :D

"Overall, a very well composed piece, nice work here."

Thanks for the awesome detailed review and the score :D

[Kingdom Hearts 2 - Amnesia]

Wonderful remake

This remake remix sounds quite well. I have only seen the place in vids. Kind of sad how Final Mix versions are never released in America sadly. I have to say though, this sounds really nice. Great job on making this one.

[SAdv2 - Hot Crater Act 2[RMk]]

Great cover

Well this was an amazingly awesome cover. Really captured the feel and speed of the level as well.

The guitar was really nice and pretty sweet so nice work there. The trumpets were extremely nice and catchy. The synth was beautiful and pretty great. The bass was smooth and caught the attention of the listener. The drums were last and they sounded great.

Overall, wonderful cover of a great game song.

[KH: Shrouding Dark Cloud]

Great times

All I have really got to say is this is a really cool cover and I really love how you capture the feel of it. Did you know that in the Japanese version there was another version of Guard Armor called Red Armor but it was a bit weaker and only at Olympus Colosseum.

The synth is pretty cool. I liked the 8-bit captured here as it made it far more dynamic and awesome to enjoy in my opinion actually. Really thing the drums were nice as well. The bass line was so simple yet captivating.

Overall, amazing cover, loved it!

[Dearly Beloved (KH2)]

Lovely

Even though this was the title piece I always felt it was also the saddest piece in the game too due to how the music was played out, it sounded like the game would make you cry for more than half of it, was probably true when I played it a few years ago too, it was just sad with most cut scenes. However you also felt happy and other emotions along with them in the cut scenes.

Really nice and ambient synth in the back I here and it kind of makes you smile. The harp here was also very nice and I really have loved it as well. The piano is the final piece and provides the main piece for making this song possible as well.

Overall, thanks for the memories, beautiful cover. <3 <3
