[This is NOT a Real Rave []

Another good effort

The feel does sound a bit like rave but more like a mix between house and techno splashed together to give this kind of feel and this one also holds some sort of story yes? Then again everyone likes to m ake a story to mix with some songs in one way or another. The beat is splendidly done altogether.

It feels like you're stuck in a dark alley trying to escape your past and someone who wants to hunt you down and put you down and out but you have unexplained powers and make one final effort to fight back against them so you can discover who you truly are and finally decide whether to be good or evil without someone constantly hunting you.

Nice job and everything there. :-)

LightKeeper responds:

It probably feels like house and techno and a rave because I'm not a specialist in any of thos egenres, so I sort of just mash 'em up together unintentionally. :P However, for me personally there is no story but I do find your inventiveness intriguing, as well as your creative thought. Thanks for the review. :) Much appreciated.

[Surreal Emotions]

Trippy feeling again?..

It feels very very trippy for a trance song but like all songs it feels like it also tells a story with it. You started out in a base on another planet and you have to find a way out somehow before the place is destroyed or whatnot and you find other characters along the way to help you get out of there alive and safely as well. You also run into a bunch of morons trying to get you killed without a reason and you eventually escape somehow with help from others.

Also kind of reminds me of the moon base from Paper Mario:The thousand year door, nicely done music there.

[Hardcore Demo]

Pretty good

It feels like it might have a story to it, I'd call it Electro reactor because it feels like you're at a reactor sector in a game and it's the final level as you find all the switches and whatnot trying to force the place to be shut down and then call out on the final boss of the game who had been hiding there all along as well.

As the fight and everything carries on the creature/boss/etc. start to charge to turn back on parts of the building so they can get a slight advantage as the yt ry to elude in the place and then the place begins to fall apart and the final battle would head up to and take place in the skies.

Very nice song there.

[Super Mario World Ghost Remix]

Even more creepy

When I use to have to play the ghost houses in the Mario games the music and silence always creeped me out and this song is full of nostagilia for me and I really enjoyed how you made it a tad bit less creepy and more heavy than the original and I love that a lot. Very nice job you did here.

[Luigi's Mansion Metal Remix]

Very good cover

I liked the cover a lot, the way you covered all of the parts of the original with heavy hitting sounds was just simply amazing and I like that. Probably one of the better loops I've heard from here as well and I very well enjoyed it. Nice job on this piece. :D

[[LY] Psychadelic]

Psychotic O_o

This tune creeped me out a bit for some reason which is what I guess you were aiming for and I liked that a lot while I heard it, couldn'tt be any creepier than this I guess.

Very nice trancy beat you have there as well, good job.

Haha, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for the review!

[Everything *Remastered*]

Good editing

I see you redid it and this one sounds a bit better than the original and everything, the beat sounds very good and whatnot. The lyrics kind of try to speak to you as in saying you love the person but you don't know if you should lie about yourself or not but you just want to be with them and be yourself and hope they love you for it.

This is very good and I liked a lot more than the crappy stuff you hear on the radio anymore these days, these are the things they should be playing, not the mainstream. =C

Nice remastering

Thanks for the review. I agree the mainstream media needs help. I am not sure what is going wrong in the industry. Knowing there are still artists out there with class lets me know hip-hop isn't dead, its just hard to find.

[Horatio Shades]

Not that bad

The guitar beat could have gone a little beat faster so it mixes into the beat a lot better, the part where it did get bit faster could have kept going faster and faster until it broke into solo and then shifted back to your normal beat as well. Although I admit, the solo you had in here sounds pretty nice as well, I liked it a lot.

The drums sounds superb although it could have used a little more bass kicking to it and slightly faster hi hats and cymbals in it, it probably would have sounded sweet if it had a overall flowing drum beat in it as well. During the solo right towards the end of the solo you could have added in real fast drumming to make it sound awesome, pretty good beat overall.

Overall this is a very wonderful beat that you managed to pull off, although it feels like it could have used a bass guitar as well or that or I couldn't hear it.

Nice job

Thanks, I'll make the adjustments then

[Preludes of Mélancolique]

Sounds good

Although when a listened to it at a normal tone the piano kind of got really high pitched at some points but that's OK with me, it still sounds like a brilliant Renaissance age beat. It incorporates a piano only as well, sounds like it could have used maybe a small bass instrument for a little more rhythm and storyline to this beat.

Overall this feels like a very well built up beat to listen to as well, enjoyed it quite a bit, good job.

sarias responds:

didn't really think renaissance at all seeing as the piano wasn't around untill the late 1700's and that is way after the renaissance. The piano is utilized in romantic music. All baroque, and most classical music was actually written for harpsichord.

also its meant to be a piano solo i may add saxophone for the top line because the 2nd part im writing right now is a saxophone solo with piano accomp. which i need for my portfolio ive thought about taking parts of it and making it for sax since the song is already hard to play even for accomplished pianists because theres so much happening at the same time, along with 11ths which can be difficult if you have small hands.

wow i rambled a bit but anyways thanks for the review and yeah i like the upbeatness its something different from what i normally do

[Prautotype - Handz Up (Teaser)]

Odd intro

The intro somewhat reminds me of hip hop for some reason but once the main beat starts to really kick into gear it sounds like a odd techno beat that I haven't quite heard yet. Makes me think of an army of marching dance robots for some reason doing absolutely nothing but standing.

Considering how different this beat is I must say I am rather impressed with how well you managed to do on this piece of work, the backing beats providing a flat ground to build the beat sounds pretty well built along with the rest of the beat, I really enjoyed it.

Nice job.
