[Unstoppable - Agamoka]

Bizarre

Well it starts up and has a very bizarre feel to it I think. The slightly reversed sounding intro is weird and then it kicks up to a full piece that is completely awesome and pretty cool as well. Very nice and smooth drum and bass piece I think which is pretty cool anyways. The tune does get you pumped up though while you play some video games.

The synth is pretty sweet I think and very nicely worked in as it carries a slight retro feel to it. The bass is very nice sounding and quite thick while helping make the song very enjoyable to listen to I think. The drums are cool and very rapid pace here as well which keeps it great feeling I think. Some parts make me think of a boss battle though.

Overall, very nicely done drum and bass piece.

Thank you :)

[BAZ - The Wiggler]

Bosses

Sounds like it could make a great boss battle piece I think as the music starts the boss is coming into the area and lets out a loud groan and states they feel a need to kill you and such. Then they change into their super form and the battle begins against the wily foe. Very nicely done musical piece.

The synth sounds relaxing here I think. The bass is very nicely done and keeps on coming rapidly in a row as well. The drums sound pretty nice here though. The bass provides a lot of rhythm here and also kind of makes you think of dancing as well which is great to hear to hear I think.

Overall, very cool feeling trance piece that doubles as boss music.

[Touch the Sound]

Calm

Well I enjoyed this piece as the piano seemed to carry on a very nice and solid beat of its own. Kind of reminded me of the Final Fantasy VIII Griever battle in a way as well since the piano there sounded a bit heavy as well. Also just sounds like a dramatically sad boss battle piece though.

The piano seems calm as the tune carries on. I also see that it loops rather well leaving no thought that it loops but rather just sounds endless and well composed. Very well done.

Overall, calming and dramatic piano piece.

Thanks SCTE3!

This is the first proper piece I've composed in ages and really enjoyed it. Making atmospheres and stuff is fun but you can't beat making a good melody! I don't know the piece from that boss battle I'll have to check it out. I haven't listened to a lot of the final fantasy stuff actually.

I wanted to leave a bit of suspence at the end to try and get people to listen to it again. Thanks for the kind words and long live RRC!

[Little Dance Beat Idea Thingy?]

Steady

Well I like this as it sounds very steady moving and kind of reminds me of the final battle in Paper Mario actually which is pretty cool I guess. Sounds like a really retro boss battle theme so this seems to go well while it is being heard as well. The tune seems to give a feeling of hope as you rush at the boss hoping to win in the final showdown here too.

The guitar sounds very nice and quite smooth too. The piano gives you a calm feel as you go forth hoping not to get crushed or harmed as the battle rolls onward. The bass sounds quite thick and gives a great feel to the song as well. The drums help finish the song with a nice sounding sweet beat here as well.

Overall, very boss like song, quite enjoyable as well.

UltimateCJ64 responds:

It does seem like a VG boss song, doesn't it? Not exactly what I was going for, but it sure would sound neat that way too.
The piano was a sort of derivative of me messing around on the keyboard, although with more sustain. Bass was intended to be thick, I'm glad it was.
Thanks for the review, dude! :D

[Silv3Ster - Boom!]

Groove move

Starting up it sounds like something you would really enjoy partying to I think. Very well done party piece I think. The metal voice was kind of freaky I think but it helps move the piece along and keep it from slowing down as well. Kind of reminds me of a few funk pieces for some reason. Enjoyed how after the countdown it calmed down for a bit and then became a full blown party piece. Very well done techno piece.

The synth is awesome and love the latter of the song when multiple synths are all pulsing at once making you think of some sort of organic party machine I think. The bass was also pumped up I think. The drums helps finish the piece up and make it a pure party like song that also makes you think of raves as well, very well done and awesome party song.

Overall, awesome party song, weird metal voice but it makes it all the more awesome to hear I think.

Dj-GST responds:

Awesome :D

The metal voice is just some samples from Blutonium Boy Samples V2, that I stretched and distorted.

Thanks!

Haha awesome! Yeah, I EQ'd the bass patterns for the kick, and the low bass for the track itself.

Glad you liked this man :D

[Breadmau5 - Toast 'n' Stuff]

Groovy?

Well the intro seemed a bit repetitive but still nice sounding once the tune starts moving forward a bit. Sounds like a space level song or a space boss song as well which is pretty interesting I would say. The one sound kind of makes me think of someone saying someone's name here. The tune itself seems to be quite nice sounding though.

The drums seem to be the bread and butter of the song playing something the entire time here which seems to go well. Then the synth adds some life to the song by giving a smooth rhythm and tune for the drums to play with. The bass seems a bit wet which is also nice I think so that works I think. Then you got that one weird sound that just sounds like something saying someone's name strangely.

Overall, a very interesting piece, I think I could dance and relax to it, nice.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks for the review, SCTE3! ^_^

I'm glad you found it groovy. That's the vibe I was going for. Repetition is sometimes a good thing, but you have to balance it with variation I think to make a good song. I'm glad you found the tune nice sounding too.

I spent a lot of time mixing the drums. This was mainly an exercise on how to make a pumpin' Electro House beat, where the drums are usually the bread and butter for the song. I used a bit of gated reverb on the bass, I'm not sure if it helped, I might experiment with that.

Thanks for your interest, and complimenting the song's danceability. That's one of the main aims of my music, that it's danceable :)

Yay for dancing

Well this has kind of a robotic step added into it which seems pretty nice I think. The tune is cheery and just seems to make you wish you were dancing as well which is pretty great I think. Some parts remind me of the Numa Numa song as well which is pretty neat anyways. The tune has a robotic feel to it though that still makes you want to dance though which is great.

The synth seems to hold a simple beep sound to it while the other one helps produce a chaotic beat that seems to get stranger with each passing second. No idea why but you keep feeling like it is going to change to dubstep at any second, very nice cliffhanging I think, very absurd and sweet.

The bass line is nice but the main synth beat is still awesome and the leitmotifs are also great. The drums hold a simple beat and help you move along while you enjoy the piece as well I think. Very interesting cliffhanging piece that keeps making you think dubstep the whole time as well, nicely done there.

Towards the end the synth kind of makes me think of a guitar.

Overall, very cool piece of work, kinds of gives you an adrenaline rush too.

Odd

When it starts out I just hear some wind as if a storm was approaching or low clouds or a plane were passing by. You look around the city and see most of the people have died due to the T-Virus spreading there. You hear coughing and other sounds there beginning to form each night. You notice them as moans and wonder if you may be next.

As the synth starts up it kind of begins to paint an even creepier atmosphere here when paired with the light sound of drums too. You wake up the next morning to see more people are dead or have tried to get away from the place in order to get away from the virus. You head to the local stores and notice some things are no longer in stock.

You pick up some guns and ammunition along with some new clothes. You feel slightly embarrassed as you put on some female clothing as they are the only things there big enough to old all the guns and ammo for you. You decide why not and go hunting for make up and what not too in case you got scars and such so you can cover them up.

As the background wind fades and the synth begins to pick up more with the bass and slight drum feel with a light buzzing sound you get more of a lonely feel to the town. You roam around and see many people either cowering fear and scared or being mauled by the zombies beginning to take over the city. You stay quiet for now in hopes that they won't hear you and come after you. You grab a pair of binoculars and see they have night vision on them as well.

You head to the local mall and go to the top scouring the city to see if there would be any escape points you could take. You notice the occasional zombie here or there at the mall parking lot and thankfully they do not look up to notice you there. You see a motorcycle in the parking lot that may have a full thing of gas in it. You decide that it would be your best chance of getting out alive.

You head down to it and break the neck of a couple of zombies trying to draw as little attention as possible to yourself. You start up the bike and see a few zombies run to you, you shoot them and ride off crying a bit as you exit the city knowing you have to leave what friends or dead friends now that you once had behind.

You go to a local gas station and thankfully there are no zombies there at all. You fill up the bike with fuel and begin to move on hoping that you encounter no problems along the way as well.

As the wind sound picks back up around 8:30 you look inside the station for food and eat what little food that hasn't been gotten yet and notice no one is in there anywhere and use the restroom as well. You head back out and can hear moans in the distance as you begin to see the zombies are going elsewhere looking for flesh to feast on mindlessly. You wonder if there is hope left for the world as you get on the bike and head onto somewhere new in hopes you can get some new clothes and possibly not run into any zombies as well.

You get near a new city and notice that there are no zombies there at all and notice someone has done been there and killed them all with headshots leaving you with no worries. You head to the local store and look for ammunition and whatever else you can stock up on. You look through the clothes and get nothing deciding that you have worn the one set of clothes so long that you have simply gotten used to wearing them.

You go back outside and see ominous looking clouds and still hearing moans, you decide that you need to keep moving. You get back on the bike with some new weapons and look around before deciding it times to leave the city and hope the next one might have survivors who won't try to kill you when you approach and offer them help like the last couple of towns have done to you. You look forward starting up the bike and move forward with your life knowing these may be your final days alive as you look for hope, food, shelter, and answers as to where this all began.

Overall, good piece I think for a zombie apocalypse styled movie, very dark atmosphere styled piece.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

I think the whole desolate isolation feel is a popular theme in this song. It would be interesting to see this used in a sort of isolated adventure film, yet the character is purposely isolating himself. It's like the character enjoys the isolation; enjoys that dark atmosphere. I appreciate the story! :)

[Kazmo/DLN - Neon (Sonik E]

Dance dance kittens

Well this does hold the atmosphere of electro and dance to it which is pretty swell I think. The beat seems to start low pitch then picks up and kind of juggles itself along as you listen and enjoy the piece a lot just seeming to pick up on certain notes and I can kind of imagine kittens playing and sleeping to this piece as well, hilarious.

The synth has a nice feel to it as it continues to bring you up and make you feel good here. It seems to also kind of hold a quirky feel to it as well which is good. The bass is fat and very wet feeling here which I found enjoyable I think and also smooth. The drums help complete the piece and make it all the better with their simple beat that they hold.

Overall, good party song, makes me think of kittens too.

DreamEater responds:

Hey dude thanks so much the review!

I'm really glad you enjoyed my edit of this monster track. Interesting though, how you thought of "kittens playing and sleeping to this" just from listening to this track... that's a different one :3... but the thought is indeed hilarious xD

Thanks again for the awesome review buddy!
