[One O Clock Web Outage]

Really interesting, to say the least. Love the instruments and the harmonies. :29-1:17 almost reminds me of The Script's style (and that's a good thing). Melody was perhaps a little dry, however. I also feel like you wanted this piece to be either smooth and calming, or more energetic, but I can't tell which. Maybe you could try taking a distinctive side with the "bow style," even if those definately aren't real strings. I think it would help this piece reach its full emotional potential. Also, a little repetitive. Still, I like how this piece easily gets stuck in my head, and creates an image of a royal garden. Also love the piano/synth that comes in every 8 beats later in the song. Overall, well done. This is a memorable and creatively written piece. Not perfect, but definately worthy of respect. Therefore, I shall give you, sir, a well-earned 5/5.

Thanks, wasn't expecting little to any feedback on this track. I basically created it today within 2 hours worth of time. When I had no Internet access, aka the name of the track. It soon became catchy, and I soon added to it until it continued to be stuck in my head. With the loop in focus, I did it so it would sound great in the end. The instruments are an electro drum track, I did actually use real strings/instruments in the sense that they came from a sound library known as "miroslav philharmonik". The piano/synth sounding item, is actually in fact a harp. Also included in the track is viola, and violin strings. As well as a two flutes, and a small choir of male/female. I really didn't go into any theme in particular with the song, other than that it became catchy fairly quickly when I started with the base beat. Then I added harmonies, and I can kind of see your thinking of the song I didn't think it could fit anything other than being catchy. Thanks for the review!

[Heart Broken II]

Yay! Love the emotion in this piece, and well-structured too. 1:08 was a valuable transition. Liked the beginning, too...pretty different. I must say, however, not the most original work I've seen on NG. I'm sorry to say that the bassline is a little too familiar for me, you know? Other than that, excellent work. Classic example of upbeat techno. I see you've already drawn in a few fans, well-deserved. ;)

Hey thanks man! Yeah i do over use that bass a little bit... but i made it and didn't copy anyone else :)

i'll make a new bass eventually.. >_< (sound production is very time consuming)

Hello, again, Gunmaster. It's still, well, pretty good! Rhythm stood out to me this time, whereas last time I was wondering where the melody was XD Also, the ending stood out to me too. I like the sudden ending as opposed to the "classic fade-out," but that's just me. Btw, I realized that 2:13 wasn't just my computer glitching, it was part of the song...and I like that! It's interesting and unique. Besides what I simply didn't pay attention to, it almost felt to me like the same song as version 1.2. When I mentioned the simplicity of the song last time, I was suggesting that you add depth the song. I didn't really see more depth here. Maybe you could add a sub-bass line or something? Anyway, keep working on it. Still think you've got potential. :)

[TM3 - WIP]

Awesome song! Love the climax and mix of different genres. Loved it when the bass came in at 1:01. Loops pretty well, too. There's a lot of passion in this song, but I still want more! I think you could make the climax even more dramatic. That contrast between the beginning and 1:01 is what makes this song what it is, but it could still be more extreme. You say it's a work in progress, and this is a great start, uplifting after a long week. I look forward to hearing more of you soon.

Pretty good! I liked the beat at the beginning and the transitions a lot, but honestly I was expecting a little more of the melody. It was pretty climactic, which is good, but it felt a little too...simple at times. Still, I like the instruments you used and the beat and I think you have potential, so keep it up! :)

gunmaster4ever responds:

i made a new version, hope you like it even more ^^

[Goukisan - Betrayal of Fear]

A gripping, epic 5-minute guitar solo! The bell was a nice touch, too, especially at the beginning and end. I do realize that your focus was on the melody, but I'll have to agree with you that the drums weren't as good as they could've been. I also noticed that you used some very similar instruments for a lot of your songs. Creating some variety might be a worthwhile next step for you, Goukisan. Still, the melody was top-notch and the goa-like build-up of the song was well done. Keep up the good work!

[Blue Sky]

I love the style of this piece, and how the melody hides under the bass at different points in the song (e.x.: 0:26). When you bring that bass out, it has a powerful effect! Almost all aspects of the song are very catchy, and you couldn't have chosen better instruments for the song. I easily put you onto my favorites list, Paragon. Thank you!

[Psybot - Digital Spirit]

Wow! I love the dreamy quality of the song! The melody easily gets stuck in my head. The transitions are very well done, and the instruments are very well-used. I also like how the piece uses a lot of echoes. The harmonies in this piece are to die for...my favorite is at 1:23. How the melody rises (0:21, 1:38) also makes the piece somewhat uplifting. Digital Spirit is also a very good name for the song, although the music is what makes this song excellent. This song is a perfect example of why I love trance!

[-Village up north-]

Hi, Waterflame! What I really like about this submission is the instruments you used. Creating a piece that has a choir, strings, a cute synth (0:43) and a techno-y bass is very unique and entertaining. Your transitions were beautiful and I love the style of the piece. You made it both dreamy and energetic, which I would also consider both unique and entertaining. Your piece captures the complicated and, ironically, warm nature of this "village up north."
