[Sky Gazer]

Yay! :D It's nice and upbeat! I like the instruments and transitions, especially the one at :45. It's engaging and catchy and well-structured, and I like the beat. The little melodies, like at 2:31, added a lot to the piece. It's a very lively and energetic piece, and it kept my attention very well. It even loops pretty well! You nailed it, AgentWhiskers! :D

AgentWhiskers responds:

Thanks for the detailed impressions. :) I try and always write music from the heart. Glad someone picked up on that.

[FD - 3'33"]

It's pretty and ominous. I like the lyrics themselves, but also the whispery voice you used for the lyrics. I feel like sometimes the instruments overpowered the lyrics, and the transition at 2:10 was a little sudden for me, but excellent choice of instruments and I love the mood. I have to say: I think fade-out endings are rarely interesting. Maybe it's fitting for this piece, but I encourage you to find a more creative way of ending this track. Overall, it's a well-structured piece with a lot of substance, an engaging and haunting moodiness to it, and a minor pacing issue. Great job! ;D

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you for your helpful advice, I will keep that in mind for future tracks

[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!

[--PianoHouse(full song)--]

I like it. :) The beat was good and the ominous beginning was interesting. I think you need more of a smooth transition at :30. After that, it was pretty catchy, but I thought the melody at 1:00 was a little strange. You had another one of those stop-and-go transitions at 1:33, but I liked the breakdown bit after that. 2:10 was a much better transition. The piano at 2:25 seemed to come out of nowhere, and maybe it's just not my style, but I'm not sure I like the stop-and-go transitions like at 2:42. I liked the transition at 3:15, though. In general, I felt it was a bit longer than it needed to be, but I liked the instruments you used and the beat. Keep up the good work! :)
