Interesting

I see the beat is quite interesting. Although there is no rapping it still sounds real great. Also no lyrics or rhymes come to mind when I hear this and it drives me sort of nuts since I like to sing but I can't do jack when I get in front of the crowd at school. I pick up the guitar and forget what I am supposed to do. It sucks a lot!!

The drums sound cool alongside the cowbell sound I hear. The bass and synth sound really good as well and kind of make this song sound so much cooler than it was seconds ago. Like how it is kind of a long loop with a lot of cool twists that have been added into it to make it sound a lot fresher than before.

Overall, I have yet to see you fail. That's great. This tune is fresh!!

Thank youuuuu!

[Wither -WizMystery-]

Very nice

However it does not really feel like jazz to me. Sorry about that I guess. Sounds like a misc and video game song at the same time rather than jazz actually. That's about the only real problem I see with this song actually. Aside from that, it looks and sounds just fine to me.

The piano and drums sound very nice as well. Sounds like it would make an excellent boss song as well actually. Would like to see that happen too. The bass sounds good. Really liked the piano breakdown, makes me think of the part in the boss battle where it goes to the next phase to annoy and kill you some more.

I would say that overall, you did a great job with this.

WizMystery responds:

Ah, my first review :D

I think I have a huge misconception of what jazz is. I know its most famous for certain instrumentations and use of chords beyond the triad, but I've been getting into certain bands that are less concerned with harmonization and more concerned with individual riffing much like this that call themselves "jazz rock." I could call it rock... but then I couldn't because it sounds nothing like it. I could also call it jazz... and that's where things get screwed up.

Interesting interpretation, by the way. I never imagined this fitting into a videogame but then again I am a bit influenced by stewart copeland's spyro phase.

Thanks for the review.

Sickening

In an excellent way that is. The beat sounds kind of like it has heavy scratching and backmasking at the start and throughout the whole entire beat as well. Not too bad considering I have heard similar beats and the such.

The synth and heavy bass bumps sound really good here. They give the song the life it deserves as well. Really like how fast the synth plays as well. It kind of just makes you feel like getting up to dance to the beat as well which is great. Is that what you were aiming for in this song as well?

The drums are kind of gloomy but they provide the fast triplet pace that one should hear in any dance song as well to say the least. The scratching/ backmask sound I hear the whole time is pretty cool as well. Like the sound that pops up around 2: 39 as well. Sounds like some weird clicking machine that encourages you to turn off the negative and get onto the positive of life.

When the beat comes together it creates a very nice and fast song. The whole way through it is kind of like a trip trying to remind you of the happiness in life that one should try to find and enjoy rather than being gloomy. The drum outro was cool.

Overall, sick beat.

Omnivore responds:

Thanks! Yup, thats the beat I was tryin to go for, I kind of rushed on this one though because my program crashes alot...

[Into the Fire - Viking]

Rubber snakes

I have no idea why but the heavy bass makes me think of a rubber snake for some strange reason which in turn reminds me of the Pokemon Ekans. Also the vocals are rather odd. Where did they come from?

The bass is heavy and not too awful bad. The drums are simple and kind of bore me sadly as well. The vocals are just weird and obscure to me sadly as I do not understand the reference either.

Overall, not too bad I guess.

the lyrics are sampled from an independent film called "I am so Proud of you"

[Krowe - Genesis]

Strangely awesome

I like how it mixes classical sounds with those of the dubstep genre to create a sick new beat that brings both worlds together. I could see this being used in a classic game that somehow shows that they had glocks and other deadlier weapons then that could cut through armor lightning fast and without second thought.

The chorus kind of makes me think of the Seymour boss from Final Fantasy X actually. The scratches and weird high pitched chipping sounds pretty nice and just makes me think of two DJs having a battle with each other for the best spot.

The bass and drums make it calming though. The classy instruments keep adding on and make you feel a lot better for some good reason as well.

I would say that overall you did an excellent piece with this being very good!!

Cool visualizations :D

I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the review :)

[Like A Corporate Exec.]

Dope

Considering this is only a loop it actually sounds pretty catchy as well. Wouldn't mind seeing this used in a flash game either.

The drums and bass are highly addicting.

Good work on this. Too catchy.

tehslaphappy responds:

Thanks bro.

[Buddy Holly (Weezer Cover]

Very nice

Really captures the feel of the original song so that is a good start there. Also has a very industrial feel to me as well. IT kind of gives me a weird fuzzy feeling inside.

The bass sounds very awesome and gets you dancing. The synth makes you just wish to stay up and going the whole time. The drums provide a backbone and get you motivated to get up and hug a friend and other good things.

Overall, a very nice tribute to a good band.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks a whole lot! Glad you appreciated it for what it was. Glad to see someone else who likes Weezer too.

[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
