[The Beat - WIP V3]

There was nothing too unique in it in the first 2 minutes or so, although I liked the ominous part at :24. The percussion that you introduce at :08 got a little annoying for me, to be honest. I found the bassline, as well as a lot of the transitions, cliche, and on top of that this isn't my favorite genre. Still, I like the instruments and variations towards the end. I like that you went somewhere with this piece, even if it took a less-than-engaging two minutes to get there. I'd suggest cutting out most of the intro, making the end a little less repetitive, and continuing to build on the solid structure you have going for this piece. I understand that this piece is incomplete, but I don't like fade-out endings. They're rarely interesting in my opinion. Overall, it's pretty catchy, but I agree that there is a lot more work to do. It has potential, but it needs to be more unique. Keep working on this one, man. Hope this review was helpful. ;)

Xsalvaz responds:

Thanks man! It certainly was! I understand all of your points. I do need to make adjustments to the length. However a lot of this is consistant with the genre, although I am a beginner at house, I do this becomes a successful track.

[Neural Connection]

I like the ominous beginning and the instruments. I wish it was a little more varied, but your transitions in general were smooth and was pretty climactic, which is always good. :) Progressive trance isn't my favorite genre, but it was really catchy and engaging in general. The part at 2:26 sounded a bit muddy and distorted to me, which I didn't like, but, like I said, it's probably just not my style. I think you could do without the subito forte at 3:16- it didn't seem to add anything to the piece. Also, the transition at 3:46 seemed a little cliche, but the last 90 seconds or so was good, except a don't like fade-out endings because I rarely find them interesting. Overall, pretty good job. Keep it up, man! ;)

wax-jr responds:

glad you liked man, i had to cut it because it was too long so most of the parts sound kinda weird but yeah it took me a long time to master it because i think i over do it you may like some other stuff i got there

[SynBad in Lower Orbit]

I like the chill intro and bass-y instruments in the beginning, but I honestly think the instrument at :23 should've been just as spacey but less penetrating. I don't think it contributed to the ambient mood. I like the beat and the bass. The ending could've been stronger. Overall, pretty solid work. Keep it up! ;)

Possibly responds:

Heh cheers - yeah, as it was for something specific the synth was/is a bit on the strong side :) Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.

[Sand Temple]

I like the creepy, ambient instruments and pacing of the song. I think the beat could've been a lot stronger, and there were parts of the song in which I felt like you could've done a little more with it, as it doesn't have a lot of substance in general, but still a pretty solid ambient groove. Keep up the good work. ;)

knee-grow responds:

I think, listening the day after, their definitely could have been more substance. I appreciate the kind words though :)

[Plastination]

It's catchy and it loops well. I like how it's constantly changing, and, while it is different from many of your other tracks, I'm still getting those half-ambient, half-epic vibes that are in a lot of your other pieces. Rock isn't my favorite genre, but great job as usual! ;)

mistarogerz responds:

Support is everything! Thanks for listening!

[EnV - Green With Me]

I love how all your songs are so climactic! The instruments were awesome and the beat and melody were very engaging and catchy. This one started out a bit slowly for me, but all of your pieces, this included, are very well-structured. I liked the breakdown at 2:10 and the transition at 3:24. The ending was great, too. It could even loop if you wrapped the remainder at the end. Anyway, I love your style, Envy. Keep it up! ;)

[The Speed of Sad]

Nice! :D I like how you totally reinvented the mood of this track. I like the instruments and the melody at :56. You could stand to slow down the tempo a little more in my opinion, but you still managed to take some of the energy away, while keeping it cute and engaging. It didn't loop perfectly well in my opinion, but still a solid remix. I'd love to hear some original tracks by you, GenoWhirled. Keep it up, man! :)

[Mountain City Anchor (NG)]

I liked the climactic intro and the distorted instruments, but the part after :50 got a little repetitive, and I didn't like the effect you used at 1:04. 1:14 was a bit of a rough transition, but maybe that was just to give some finality to the preview. I listened to the whole thing on Youtube, and I liked it in general. Some of the transitions were a little cliche, and it got a little repetitive after a while, but pretty good job. Keep up the good work. ;)

[Psybot - Blitzcrank Trib.]

Yes! :D Finally! It was really catchy and climactic, and you incorporated the Blitzcrank samples really well. The melody fits your style perfectly- exactly why I fell in love with your music all those years ago ^^. I also liked the rhythmic section at 2:50. Awesome use of instruments, and incredibly well-structured. Top-notch material as always, Psybot! Hope you post more often from now on. :D
