[Salt, Water, and Iron]

I like the emotion and instruments. It's a little simple at times, but I like the transition at :54 and the percussion. The harmonies at 1:19 were a little strange, and the beat at 1:28 felt a little out-of-place, but I liked the guitar at 1:57. It helped set up the rest of the piece and made sure that the piece was taking a definitive direction as a whole. Overall, it's pretty good. I definitely like the structure and transitions, to say the least. ^^ Good luck at NGADM! ;)

geniebmusic responds:

Hi! Thank you for the review :) I appreciate it. One of my initial concerns was if the beat at 1:28 would have felt random, but I went in that direction because I didn't want to introduce that beat in the last section of the song; I wanted to introduce it earlier, and that spot at 1:28 was the best spot for me personally. However, if you had an issue with that spot, others may have issue with it as well. Again, thank you for the review! I will work harder. Good luck to you too! :D

[Vectorverse (Song 1)]

Catchy, energetic, cool, funky, cute, awesome, I love it! :D Really interesting structure and very well-varied. Smooth-flowing and really great mood and atmosphere. Loops well, too. Nice work, man! ;D

WarmanSteve responds:

Your words, they are too kind :D Really though, thanks for the review! I'll be posting the other 3 Vectorverse songs over the next few days, so more's coming!

[Dramatic Dimensions]

I'm not sure I like the distorted instrument you used at the beginning, but I liked the melody and beat at :28 a lot. It's very well-structured and the transitions are top-notch. I like how you play with the mood a lot during this piece, especially with the transition at 1:40, and then go back into a more energetic vibe by 2:10. Even the part at 2:24 contains both energetic and atmospheric styles. I think the ending could've been a little more interesting, however. Fade-outs often come across as lazy to me. Still, it's a cool piece, especially with the instruments, melodies, and moods. Nice work! ;)

Greatest219 responds:

Thank you !
I usually dont do fadeouts,but it seemed appropriate this time.

[Robo-ballet]

I like the instruments and mood, but I'm not sure some of the parts mesh together very well, especially before :32. I think you need better transitions at :04, :42, 1:19, and again at 1:24. It is well-varied and the structure is interesting, but it just feels a little disconnected as it is. The harmonies after :32 are pretty good, but it still feels very random and doesn't flow very smoothly, almost as if there are 4-5 different songs in there. It does loop well, but maybe you could add some drums or builds or something to aid with the transitions, which is my main complaint with this song. Otherwise, it's pretty good, though. You might have to play with the structure and transitions quite a lot to make it flow smoothly, but other than that, it has all the makings of a good start to a piece. ;)

BenTibbetts responds:

OK. Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review.

[Funk 71 [WIP]]

Yeah! :D I like the structure and beat. It's smooth-flowing and catchy, and I like the instruments a lot. Dubstep isn't really my favorite genre, but this induces feelings of bliss, somehow! XD It's certainly unique and interesting. Nice work! ;)

Kaskrin responds:

Ah thanks! It means a lot, I'm happy that you dig it.
