[Breaking [Again]]

finally

a heavy metal with drums, you'd be surprised at some entries, my only suggestion is turning up the volume a bit, I couldn't hear it at my normal speaker setting, also add a few more riffs, doesn't feel insanely rock as it should, but great song nonetheless

8-4 here, for some overly used rythym on the guitar

[.:A World of Sand:.]

wow i missed this one

Sweet sounding track, is this like your other one? I feel like ive heard it before but I thought I reviewed it, no? Oh well, excellent job, bass is perfect, melody is well varied throughout the song, the Arabic progression typically can be very flexible since just about any key will sound good with it, very well made!

im trying to come up with some stuff, feel free to check out some of mine!

easily a 10 -5

neoloconick responds:

Yea you did vote on my other one. Thanks a lot for the review.

[Sand Castles]

wow piano work is just amazing

loved the song, but most of all... the piano

im a big guy on piano and the songs ive heard from you are all excellent piano arrangements

my only quirk with this piece is the slightly out of tune string section, felt it could use regular strings and wouln't take away, nicely done vocals

10-5

[Canon Remake (Strings & Piano)]

woot

100th review, what can I say this song is a classic and I heard no big changes to the actual piece, so 10-5 for some good taste in music, that and its my 100th review, good job if you played this yourself

have a happy new year!

[-Tripping verbs-]

personally

I found the whole thing to be enjoyable, with the exception of a few high-bell sounds here and there, really well done song though, 9/10 for some oddly high bell sounds, 5/5 for a beautiful arrangement

1zin1 responds:

I'm not sure what high bell sounds you mean..
I bet it's the piano at some point might become high sounding with all the clutter of noise ^^

[Chica Bau! (DEMO)]

its good..

but unoriginal personally, the whole thing felt like a failed Gasolina copy, judging on the actual balance and sound and etc. it was a 9/5, though personally scores low for unoriginiality

[{dj-N} The Beginning of Time]

excellent

Obviously it wouldn't be Number 2 if it wasn't so good, came to check out the hype and its pretty impressive stuff, very nicely done, not much more to say, an obvious 10-5

[Say-Tan's RoboRapish]

pretty insane

Woula've liked to hear less of the high-freq sounds with the drums though, a filter would be nice, overall the song was pretty insane, course it probably should be, needs a lead though

8-4

[Chrono Trigger - Prayer...]

cool stuff

Personally i've never heard the original, but this sounds pretty good for its own, the beginning I think is a little overtaken by the guitar, however I felt the end was just great, very ambient, very balanced, very pro.

Good job! 9/5

JohnLithium responds:

For better or for worse, that was the effect I was going for.
As usual, thank you very much. :)

[IX (Piano Theme)]

pretty sweet

Sounds like something one would hear at the end of an RE or SH game with a good ending, my only complaint was that it sounded a bit hesitant, in other words a little choppy, as if you had improvised it and was thinking out the next chord, however nice chords, good technique, liked the octave jumps, added variety to the mix, I also advice going against the straight quarter notes style, add a little flair, a little trill or some different rythyms, good for what it is though, great potential, 1 star for pauses, 1 star for straight pattern,

8-4, went down a number for the lack of a strong/moving bass, felt as if the left hand was being left out (no pun intended)

JohnLithium responds:

In the future, I'll probably try to incorporate more 'rhythm variation' into piano compositions (if I submit any more). The 'hesitation' aspect was mostly intentional (although I can see where you are coming from).
