[Windows Wars]

Stupendous!

This is out-of the ordinary and I love it!
It's abstract-ness is very creative and some melodies are quite good, these drums beats are also quite good but the snare roll or whatever it is for transitions wasn't very good however.
It is repetetive and some melodies are :O-able as well, they were very creepy >:S
>< General comment, good but not your best ;-)

Step responds:

Glad you like it, but repetitive? Seriously I really don't see why you think it's repetitive. It uses 44 Windows sound effects, over 10 drum samples, and over 80 patterns I believe, all made from scratch, no premade loops, and there was only one or two drum beats in my song which I used twice. It can't be repetitive :S. But thanks for the review anyway.

[Racing Through Eternity]

Too Much for words, nah who am I kiddin'

Simply Amazing, a smash, brilliant and out of this world, This is an amazing Song and very fun to listen to. The intro and outtro were spectacular and I loved the percusiion you made because it's tranc-y, futuristic and simply put, Awesome.
The instruments, were, as they say, Tha Bomb, and the transitions were fantastic, i have no complaints on this.

You rock :D.

[Mechanicum]

Wonderful!

Loved it, main melody was great and drum work rocked, the intro was muffled though and boring...
Then the effects come in and reverses the whole thing and makes it very interesting.
So overall quite good, but work on those little faults.

Thank you, I will)

[O.H.35 - Rocket]

Lovely

Collaboration is hard to do but you guys pulled it off, the drums were good but that glitchy thing was a bit too loud.
The guitar was good and the effects added were awesome.
The piano was awesomest, awesomesauce and every kind of awesome!
Discordant, but you made it work.
This is very good but I'm not sure if it should be techno, rather than rock or house or something.

OH35 responds:

Yes, collaborations are hard to put together because everyone wants their space, which results in "covering up" the work of the others. We did our best to make sure everyone had his space in this piece.

Glad you liked the piano part, I did it! What do you mean by discordant, can you explain in pm?

About the glitchy thing: you mean the thing at the start of the piece that goes "bleep" or you mean the fx we applied to the piano?

Regarding the genre, it's a 135 bpm track with techno-ish drums and synths. I don't think house or rock would fit in the genre, even though the guitar IS rock-ish.

[O.H.35 - My Dy]

Very good

House and Rock, I think. Very cool and unique.
The guitar was good and unique in various parts of the song.
The main synth was interesting and the rest was inspiring.
The drums were very creative, both the choice of samples AND the beats.
The melodies were rockin'!
What I liked most was the whole feel of it though, the build-ups and the transitions were quite good too.!

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[[AL] Submarine attack!]

Very Interesting

Unfortunately, you didn't succeed because the drums overpowered the melody.
Other than that the song was amazing, the drums themselves were good and the sonar melody in the intro was very good and I lvoed the way you incorporated that with the rest of the song and the main synth.
The bells that came in in some parts of the song was very good.
The intro and outtro were fantastic and the main feel of the song was awesome/.

[rooms are her travesty]

Wondeful

Breathtaking, Heart-Warming and Touching, very nice piece of work man.
Its sounded discordant in the beginning but after the chords come in it's epic.
The title I dont't understand though. After i read the author's comments I started understanding the whole point of the song.
This piece is very touching and almost brought tears to my eyes, wonderful job.

Calamaistr responds:

The title is about how we treat everything we come across boxing it in, labeling it .. defining it and then act like we fathom it. But the truth of most things is that all is in transition, ever changing therefore every day should be like a walk in a fairytale, renewing, exalting, inspiring.

To the nature of the universe to put life in rooms, is a travesty.

Ofcourse no offence but if it almost bring tears to your eyes why did you give it a mediocre score? :p

[On This Dark Day]

Very Good

This will be a great song for a wasteland level because not only does it sound awesome and techno and futuristic, it also has that NES, 8-Bit, Game feel to it.
The drums were great, no wait, the DRUM, was great, it had a nice beat to it but it could have used a little more support to it like hats and kicks and stuff like that.
The build-ups and transitions were great.
My Fave part was hte awesome intro, it rocked to the fullest!

callitsleep89 responds:

Thanks for the input. I definitely get how the drums can be a bit minimal, but seeing as this was a "wastelands" type theme, that is what I was actually going for. Anyways, thanks for listening!

[Shameless (Kris Sumara remix)]

Good-ish

Repetetive song but you made it better, drum work was awesome and main instruments were great.
The piano was fantastic and I loved the climax in parts of it.
The transitions were awesome and build-ups were great.
The general comment of this is simply put, amazing.
The intro and outtro weren't bad and the effects and mixing were inspiring.

Thanks for the review! Very much appreciated.

[TTC the crowning (adagio)]

Good..........

Very Inspiring and realistic, it makes draw the story in your mind and picture the whole thing beautifully.
The piano is one of the best melodies ive ever heard.
The thing is though, is that it's too low voloume. it's a bit of a turn-off

Calamaistr responds:

I think the next piano track i make is going to be even lower volume, im going to go the opposite of other composers who make their piano's so loud they tear my ears off.

edit: yes im joking but i cant be arsed to re-render this, takes way to long :p
