"Interesting"

submission: IB - 03 - Fatality

I like the use of the amen, it gives the song a very good beat and progresses nicely. My few complaints would be that the amen sounds sort of dull, nothing really special to back it up... if you layer some other stuff over it, like a harder snare or kick, it might sound pretty cool. The melody gets a little annoying at some times, that switch between sharp/flat notes and naturals, it's just a little awkward.

Still, i like it! Definitely did a good job. 8/10 and 4/5.

Score: 10

I love me a good house track. And what really wins me over is the uptempo but ambient house tracks, like a club or something. This is really nice, a lot of good points. The bass is excellent, it is very tough to get a good bass for a house song. The percussion is good too, very light but still carries the song along. I like the main melody that is present, it sort of slides around and sounds pretty sweet!

The whole song is just crazy good man! 10/10 and 5/5, for sure!

Score: 5

"Decent"

Betterthat I expected, for having no tutorials or anything. You have a bit too much compression and distortion on that main lead, and it's very harsh on the ears. The clap is really harsh too, not sure if there is distorition intentionally put on that.

Not bad, but you can definitely improve. Get a good bassline, lower the lead melody, and add some other percussion stuff!

5/10 and 3/5.

Score: 8

A little rough around the edges, especially that clap around 50 seconds, it's very harsh and sudden. The other sounds are good though, the mix of a DNB-like drum beat and techno/industrial percussion really make a good song. There wasn't much bass either, which really turned this song down for me, but i like the melodies and such that you've got written here.

Nice work, but it could definitely use some improvements. 8/10 and 4/5.

Score: 10

"Wonderful."

submission: Song of Time: Zelda

date: November 16, 2009

In comparison to the many remixs of this song that I have heard, this is one of the good ones. Reminds me of a very deep and serene jungle, and it's been forever since I've played Zelda, and i don't really remember which area had this music, but that's how it sounds. It's very ambient, very spacey. Very nice job!

10/10 and 5/5.

"Interesting flavor..."

This is really cool man! I like how slippery that main lead is, it's a sytrus preset, if i remember (been forever since i've used it, correct me if i'm wrong!) The lead on the synth is great, very slippery (still using that word) and very smooth and melodic. The drums are also good, very nicely compressed, not too over-powering, nice and ambient. The bass is good as well, though at times when it hits lower notes, it sounds pretty awkward.

Nice work! 8/10 and 4/5.

"Interesting"

submission: Syntrus-Invader

date: November 14, 2009

This was pretty neat, I like the dark feeling of it. Very Lo-Fi, and everything flows in somewhat of a good pattern. My few complaints would be the fact that it sounds a little too fuzzy. The song is mostly based on the low end, nothing really higher up to counteract it, and if there is, it isn't terribly loud.
It really does sound like an invasion of sorts though, so you accomplished that! :D

Good work, but it could use a few improvements.
7/10 and 3/5.

"Wow."

This is insane, truly! Reminds me quite a bit of M83, just with vocals.

Anyway, this is very nice. The piano is great, and being a pianist myself, I can appreciate piano work like this. The synth work and percussion are both good as well, very excellently performed and written!

You did very well, definitely worthy of the top 5.
10/10 and 5/5, from me. Congrats. :)

"Cool!"

submission: Solus- Sitarisaurus

date: October 29, 2009

It's strangely relaxing. It's got a real jungle tribe like feel to it, you know? Sounds almost like something from a medieval village.

I like all the sitars. They're very nicely done, and the melodies on them are very good! I can almsot hear something that sounds like sorohanro's lamp samples, but I could be wrong.

This is really cool! Nice work. :)
10/10 and 5/5. ^_^

"Halloween? :P"

submission: [c30] Remedy

date: October 22, 2009

Sounds like some scary halloween theme. This definitely has a spooky industrial feel to it. I like the really grungy stuff, even though it might have a bit too much compression on the over all mix. The distortion is kinda heavy too, this is more of the darker side of industrial. It's still very good though, you've got some real talent here!

9/10 and 5/5. Nice!

(btw, that pad around 1:10 is very nice too!)
