[Requiem For a Dream [Band]]

Still epic

I agree with the reviewer below me, but that sound hasn't done away with any of the epicness of the song. Well done!

Mattster responds:

Thank you! :D

[the Ruins of the World]

It is a good name

This is an absolutely amazing song! You've done an incredible job with this, and the effort you've put in really shines through.

For the record, your title "The Ruins of the World" is what attracted to me to listen to your song, and I'm glad it did!

OPQC responds:

good thing the name was enough interesting to listen my song :D

i really worked hard on this song, so thanks you listened it! ^^

[Super Metroid *Brinstar*]

Sweet

Super Metroid has to be my favourite video game ever, and with one of the best soundtracks. This particular track of yours rivals some of the stuff I've heard from OverClocked Remix. Very, very nicely done.

SupraDarky responds:

Thanks brownspider! Glad you like it.

[Mixed Reviews]

Hated the end

The song is nice until about 1:45. I like the melody, but the sound of the instrument itself is not pleasing to my ears.

LazyMuffin responds:

I can see that.
Thanks.

[Sail Away We (Instrumenta]

Great sound

You've really captured the pirate "feel" with this song. Excellently conceived and performed piece.

Best of luck with your musical.

DylanGlow responds:

Thank you brownspider! At this point I think the luck will help! There's nothin' like being stuck on something for months! XD Thanks!!!

[The Industrial Revolt]

Unique

I really enjoy the style in which this song is done. The beeping shows your source of inspiration. The noises that come in around 1:30 are quite unique, and unlike anything I've ever heard before. The part from 2:30 onwards is just pure sweet. Awesome song!

DylanGlow responds:

Thanks brownspider! I was really lookin' for different sounds to use in this piece, ones you don't usually hear, even in techno-holy-crap-it's-crazy music. The part at 1:30 I really experimented with so I'm glad it worked out! Thanks again brownspider!

[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. :)

[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. :)
