[Still Alive (Radio Narcotix)]

But the lyrics?

Pretty sweet, good choice of voices. The only thing I would suggest would be to keep the lyrics.

[The Tears of Old]

Half an hour?

This is really a beautiful piece. It honestly took you only half an hour to make?

DylanGlow responds:

Thank you BrownSpider! Yeah, it really only took half an hour. XD All I did was sit down and straight score it for a piano and a flute, then I took bits and pieces from each and looped and edited them to different instruments. Then I composed a quick drum riff for the second half and voila! ^_^ I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the ten and review!!!

[Da Guitar mix]

Pretty good

Cool loop. What's a "gutar?"

talls responds:

I spealed it wrong its "Guitar", sorry.

[Heaven's Tears]

All-around Awesome

Great job! As for the percussion, I particularly enjoy its softness. I get really annoyed by trance and remixes where the percussion overpowers the melody, but this is the perfect counter. I really enjoy the melody and the general feel of the song. I find this to be more of a song about optimism than sadness, but that's just my interpretation.

BlazingDragon responds:

I have noticed the same problem with much of the trance music here. The songs are extremely beat driven but lack much melodic/harmonic drive. Percussion should be complimentary to these.

Thank you very much for the review. :)

[Vocals]

Misleading Title

The title mislead me; I was expecting human vocals.

Nevertheless, I really got down to the song and its beat. I normally don't like hip hop, but this track is great. Keep it up.

[When I'm With You]

Lyrics?

How do you write a song about a girl when there are no lyrics and the melody is static? I question how you must feel about this girl, because it really does not come through in the song. The track itself is decent, but the subject matter and the way it is addressed are questionable.

[I Have A Dream]

Out of place

I agree with the very first reviewer: the beat just doesn't fit the subject matter. I also think that the level of MLK's speech should be increased, because it is overpowered by the music, and I'm certain that isn't the message you want to be sending.

CaptainWonderpants responds:

Thanks for the review.

I was trying to concentrate on the optimistic nature of MLK's speech, but I can see how it doesn't fit the subject matter. Next time I work with vocals (this track was sort of a "self introduction" into using vocal samples) I will try and adjust the levels more so that the speech isnt lost in the music.

Thanks again for the review. :)

[Take Me Across]

What's the real title?

Wow, great first song!

It's kinda weird though, cause your track appears under the title "Take Me Away." on the Audio Portal page, but the title here is "Take Me Across." Any idea why this is?

shadowmana responds:

The actual name of the song is "Take Me Across" but I submitted it wrong.
