[Under the Rising Sun]

Quite classy

That is one classy song actually. Really makes me think of Japan, have no idea why they make a lot of good songs but they kind of speak to your heart as if saying take it slow and be gentle with life. It is going nowhere fast and why should you have to go faster than life.

The instruments are Japanese orientated and I hate how I can never remember the names of them either. They sound very lovely though and I like how this one sounds slightly ambient as well at the same time.

The way the tune flows sounds very beautiful and calm at the same time. I really like what you did with this piece.

Overall, I look forward to more pieces like this.

thanks, the sound in this piece is actually a plucked violin. I also used a cello a contra bass and a viola. Fl Orchestra plugin though, i wish i could play the cello lol thanks for the review, glad you liked it

[SN | Unformed | SN]

Great piece

I have to say you did a nice job with this one. It just feels so sad yet mellow at the same time as well. The way the beat plays kind of makes you feel alone and isolated as if you were searching for the answers to a question. At the same time you are trying to escape from a nightmare or zombie infested city.

The synth and piano work together as a team and give a weird feel to it. The drums and bass give backbone and life to this song as well. When it all comes together it sounds very nice to hear.

Overall, you did a wonderful job here.

SessileNomad responds:

thanks for the review

yeah i dunno i would say the mood of this track is overall leaning to the sad side, not the escaping zombie city side, but to each his own

glad you liked it, worked pretty hard on this one

[The Monster's Creator]

Creepy

I just have to say this is actually pretty creepy as it starts out very slow and slowly builds up into a bit of a chip tune as well. It later just becomes a soft yet still creepy song to listen to actually.

The piano and bass being used as a combination is good. The drums come in and make it slightly fast sounding and creepy as it mixes with some very light synth notes that are played. Kind of makes me think of things from my past as well.

Overall, you did a good job of making a beat. It brought back memories, some I would rather forget.

[take it with you]

Good rock

This actually a pretty nice sounding rock song. Kind of reminds me of Gilda the Griffon from My Little Pony as well. The lyrics are also pretty cool and I like them a good amount. You seem to keep it all together and flowing in a good way.

The guitar riff is very nice. The keyboard was a nice little addition. The bass and drums sound excellent together and make the song far more lively and bring everything together. The vocals are excellent as well.

Overall, you did a great job with this song. Liked it.

[[Dj Assios] - Party Hard]

Awesome

This is a pretty nice sounding rave song and I like it a lot. The way it all just comes together is also very brilliant as well. The voices you added were a great idea for this so cool job there as well.

The synths and synth bass sound pretty awesome to me. The drums and bass were also good. I like how the beat flows together and just motivates the listener to listen and dance at the same time as well. You have made a marvelous rave and dance song. Excellent work.

Overall, freaking awesome and amazing!!

Assios responds:

Thanks! glad you liked it :D

[While I Was Waiting]

Sounds alright

I really like the song but I do not see anything special or awesome happening here sadly. Kind of has an ambient anime feel to it I guess. The beat seems to be kind of slow, slightly off tempo and just kind of boring sadly.

The synth has a decent rhythm going for it anyways. The keyboard sounds pretty nice and pretty much the only awesome or cool thing I actually liked here. The drums were alright. The bass seemed to be alright.

Overall, not very interesting sadly. Would be cool if you made it speed up and turn into a rave some or something along those lines. Sorry that this is not your best piece. Good luck on future beats though.

lazy-dave responds:

Thanks for the review i appreciate it! Surprising you should say that, I was disappointed I could use my melodies near the end more so I'm making a second part that's way faster and ravish but will somewhat sound the same, hopefully you enjoy that one more. Either way thanks again for the review!

[Gone Astray]

Funky Down

This has a creepy mansion feel to it actually. The static and lyrics are also pretty cool to add as it becomes retro sounding for most of the song. The lyrics have a good chime to them actually. The vocals are very good too.

The drums sound pretty nice. Really liking how the bass flows in a creepy manner relative to the beat. The synth and vocals just bring the whole song togehter though so that is great though.

I have to say that overall you did a pretty good job here.

SoulSecure responds:

Now, for me to reveal the secret behind the drums... There are absolutely no drums contained within this song. The percussion track was made (in chronological order relative to the beat) with a fork scratching a plate, laying the fork down gently onto the plate, a cup being hit against my Yamaha PSR-510, a pill bottle being shaken, a spoon striking the lid of the pill bottle twice and then once on a box, and the last thing (obviously) is the cup on the keyboard again. Of course, I took this dope beat and put effects and shit on it, most notably distortion.

Pretty wicked, right?

[I Ran (Out of Ideas)]

Wizard Opera

Have no idea why but wow is this a good song honestly. You just give a great feel as if the listener was doing something epic. Also heavily reminds me of Kingdom Hearts as well for some strange reason. The way it flows from start to finish is just really nice and pleasing to the ears.

The synth and secondary synth just seem to bring the song to life. The bass provides a strangely funky line. Liked the Japanese sounding part as well. The drums keep the song alive and breathing the whole way.

Overall, great job.

EricFreeman responds:

Haha, I love your reviews. Oddly enough, I've never played Kingdom of Hearts, lol.

But thanks for listening to it and liking it! The Japanese part was actually added in because I couldn't think of what else to do. That's why the song is titled "I Ran (Out of Ideas)". I had no idea what to do next and the song took forever to make, lol.

Also, sweet, eight out of the past 9 reviews have been 10/10! :3

[~Igloo~ (Obsideo)]

Nicely done

It has a really chilled out and mellow feel to it actually. Sounds very blissful.

The keytar and synth make this sound very beautiful as well. Almost as if just drawing in the listener. The drums and bass provide a sutle backbone and make the song peaceful to enjoy.

I kind of get an image of roaming through a park while holding a parasol and just enjoying the view in the place I have never been to.

Overall, great work.

Obsideo responds:

Awesome, thank you so much

[I Remain]

Remaining

Somewhat makes me think of some metal bands put together. Your vocals are quite amazing as well so cool work there with that. I still need to brush up on my vocals as they aren't truly metal singing worthy yet.

The guitar riff is very nice as well. Sounds a bit like what I play too. The bass and drums give the song the full feeling as well. The lyrics are very nicely done and are more than just a story in itself. Would love to see your band or maybe just you going on tour.

Overall, excellent piece of music.
