[Stargenx - Love and Pain]

Sad feeling

This just has a really sad feeling to it actually. It kind of just makes you feel sad that you had just broke up but then you feel happy because you feel a weight has been lifted off your chest and that you knew she/he wasn't the right one for you. The piano just makes the tune sound sad and some parts subtly remind me of Kingdom Hearts as well.

The overall flow seems to be down and dreary yet also happy as well. The tune flows like quicksand and ensnares the listener to stick around and hear it a few times and realize that there is always someone out there for them. Beautiful piece.

Thanks for the review. It is a sad song.

[Music Box Waltz]

So sad

It would make for a very nice song to hear in an ambient horror game, as credit music, or simply as lullaby music to put young ones to sleep and let them dream of better things, endless things. The chords that start to come in around 1: 00 makes it sound even nicer as well. I could picture seeing this in an anime about some princess running from home and eventually getting lost and succumbing to the underside of Tokyo I guess.

The tune is just very mentally pleasing to hear and it makes you feel so sad yet sad as well since this song could go well to a variety of videos actually. Very nice work on this, keep on making lullabies I guess. Looking forward to more.

Rampant responds:

Thanks for the review SCTE3.

I'm glad that you think it would work in more than just one genre, I'd never imagined this as working well in an anime, but now I think about it, I suppose it could work.

I'm very glad that it was pleasing to listen to, and thank you again for the review.

[.:Reach for the Moon:.(NA]

Very good

I kind of got a Final Fantasy III feel from this beat actually which is pretty good I think considering how much it resembles and makes me think of some of the towns in the game as well.

The xylophone and wood sounds were pretty nice. The tuba sounded very soft and pleasing as well. The flute was rather pleasing for the most part and I think I heard a pleasing harp playing as well.

I can kind of visualize someone walking along the beach or park area with their best romantic friend or pet looking around and just enjoying the day as they move along.

Overall, good and happy piece here, loving it.

Thanks for the review, I enjoy reading them!

I've actually never played any of the FF series, I should probably do that since alot of people have been telling me my songs have a lot of similarities with them...

Anyways, thanks again!

Cheers,

["Ramona" (Scott Pilgrim cover)]

Yay for Scott Pilgrim

This sounds just like the original but with a different voice to it as well. I really did like the movie and now I have something very close to the original so I am pretty happy with how this one turned out as well. Kind of makes me think of my own escapades in my head that I have on a daily basis by myself. The lyrics are very strong and come out swinging very good.

The overall flow is great and fits close to the original. Great job here on a cover song. Looking forward to more.

Your own escapades? Oh man, let's hope someone turns it into a movie. :)

Thanks for the review.

[Scorched Hair and Burnt Guitar]

Very nice

The lyrics sound just beautiful actually and the guitar slightly reminds me of Interpol actually. This sounds pretty good to me as well and I really am enjoying hearing it. You should try to add a bass line and drums to it as well and it could sound even more blissful and wonderful. Really like these kind of indie songs though as they are real peaceful sounding.

Makes me think of when I was younger as well and I slightly hear a guitar sounding like a piano as well. Really like how this sounds as well, great work here.

Ryanson responds:

Interpol? Sounds familiar, but I'm not sure.

I'll check them out, but in return I ask that you should check out the Pillows. They're the original (Japanese) band that I covered from. Their title for this song is different, but I adapted it into English so it deserved a different title.

My mission all along was to make my guitar sound like a piano. Mission success :)

Thanks for the review

[Heaven's Cries]

Chaotic and nice

The chiptune chorus at the start sounds a bit erratic but very nice as well. The industrial drums remind me a bit of Nine Inch Nails as well. The way the tune just flows seems to make feel strangely sad and happy at the same time like someone wearing one of those theater masks on stage.

The synth that suddenly comes in gives it that happy feel to it but it has a great industrial feel to it with the drums that keep on playing the whole time. Really have enjoyed this tune though. It was a great piece, good luck on future pieces.

Yay 2 out of 4 like it! Lol I'm glad my song invoked those feelings in you, just means i'm doing something right :3

[Tricity -GST Mix-]

Bass

I can really hear a very loud bass on this. Has a highly upbeat feel to it as well. The overall beat and feel seems to be crazy happy actually. Somewhat reminds me of slaphappy song but this could be just as upbeat as well with a little tuning and modding done to it actually. This has a very great feel to it as well and I like it a lot.

Makes me feel real happy and as if nothing could keep me down for a long time as well. Great piece of work doing this song as well. Looking forward to newer pieces as well.

Thanks man!

[A Flask of Wind]

FF VIII

Reminds me a lot of Final Fantasy VIII when I was visiting Dollet and a few other towns that had soft feeling beats to them as well. Also reminds me of the ballroom dance scene as well. This sounds like it could easily fit as credit or town music actually because it has a great classic feel to it.

Really like how it makes the listener feel happy. Also reminds me of the older Disney movies with the voiceless credit music that was soft and kind of retelling the whole movie very quickly as well.

Excellent work here.
