[Rig - Moar]

HA!

The vocals in the beginning were nice and brought along the intro nicely! The synths were nice too! I've noticed that even tho FL has some great synth plug-ins, the 3xOsc and the TS404 Bassline synth seem to be the best for pretty much any sound you can think of.

Crunchy and Catchy! (sounds like a chip) Excellent combo! Sounds moar along the lines of DnB, but I can see why you put dance.

5/5 (Everything crunches together nicely)
10/10 (Kinda sounds like the Macarena in some parts(?))

Rig responds:

I suppose my DnB influences shone through, eh? Thanks for the review!

[Thanks is Hard]

trippy...

ok so i've freaked myself out when i started watching the badger visualization to this song and mushrooms and badgers were flying by as the song trudged on like and elephant on acid.
This piece has to be the most... odd... I've heard out of your collection. You listen to and go "... um... what?" But it plays to that type well.

Coordinated discordance I guess, lol.

You have the glitch in there as usual (its your trademark).
ok... umm, I'm gonna be honest. I don't how i would review this :(
Not a bad thing, not a bad piece.
It was... interesting. I liked it. There is nothing more i can think of to say :(

Sorry?

[Lackadaisical Cohort - Part 2]

More power to ya LOL

New effects--
New feel--
Same awesome style!

Once again i am hooked. More variation, its like magic.
See what really gets me, in a good way (just has a good feel), is when you're listening to a song and just as you start to say "ok this is getting old..." it changes into something completely different and re-hooks you and gets your toe tapping again. And repeats that process throughout the song. Its like a drug: when it starts to wear off-- take another dose.

Like Gaia said, when i first heard the vox and arp, i thought of Daft Punk, just enough to put it in your mind and then blow it apart with something completely the opposite!
The beginning is very good-- heavy, but it still bounces, still has a feel you can get into.

As for the 3:10 part... all i can say is, you get a different taste depending on where you eat ( that sounds so wrong ) in other words-- Depending on your setup, from studio monitors to desktop speakers, each person is going to get their own sound from that part... Which is awesome if you think about it O.O

BUT (only one but, not big)
The song lacks an ending, for a 11:32 long song you think it would have a definite. ending. Honestly, I was listening to this song a few times before i finally realized it was looping, hah. ( this part loops itself very well ). But thats better for shorter songs. Unless you were going for a loop, then thats your thing. But, in my opinion was little bit of a let down, very little, but still.

OVERALL ( both songs )
VERY WELL COMPOSED!!!!! +35 !s
I've never heard this type of style, and you've caught my attention with it. It shows you have major skill in what your doing. ( i have serious writers block, but when it comes to mixing/mastering, don't count me out.)
And don't count you out either.

CHEERS and thanks for the experience,
?Random?

InvisibleObserver responds:

Thanks for consistency.

If you'd like some NG graphics done, let me know, you'd look much more pro/memorable with a nice little icon next to your review instead of the default.

I made it loop intentionally for NG, the proper version has more of a fade out time which has some FX automated on it, so its a bit like grundgey Pink Floyd FX.

For album, as previously mentioned, I'll probably be having some sort of sample editing done to punctuate the end of the song, in similar fashion to the "It must be done." line.

[Lackadaisical Cohort - Part 1]

PessimistOwl, you sir, can go screw yourself.

What he basically did was go to a concert ,and while everyone is cheering and dancing, stop the music and walk up to the mic, clear his throat and say: "I really don't like this music. Just thought I'd let you know. OH! But I'm being open minded, dont let it offend you!.... have a nice day!"
What a selfish dick... AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF... he didn't even listen to the full song- and he calls himself a critic, peh.

ANYWAY!
For a miscellaneous song, this thing sure as hell is miscellaneous, heh.
It started off slow with strings, and i thought it was going to be easy-going. But MAN it turned around! Threw in some breakbeats, some serious FX, and hella good mixing!
Every little genre change is matched with the synths and drums. Skill right there-- nothin less.

But (always a 'but')
Some of the sound effect were over used and the melody itself could have used a few variations to make it more interesting then it already is... and if you did that in part 2 more power to ya, because i didn't listen to it yet.

All in all, your good WAY overpowers the bad. Some serious mixing skills in this.
I mean, I've never listened to this style until your song grabbed my attention to all hell.
Listening to Part 2,
?Random?

InvisibleObserver responds:

Yes Mr. Owl is in essence true to his name, and true to the negative connotations of pessimism, that being: unwanted.

I'm likely to wrinkle out the song some more, its going in an album I'm working on, and more details will be added. So the songs solid and thick with musical flavor, and in the final cut will become more 'focused'.

Thanks for the indepth and helpful review, congratulations on having a frontal lobe, and thank you for checking out part 2.

[~BH~ Crystalline Cloudsca]

a very intense calm

I loved the sweep into the beginning, it pulls you right into the full feeling of the song. The arps initiate and it lulls you into a very rhythmic trance and the bass kicks along and makes you just close your eyes and go with it. The effects you used on the flute and the melody that went with it were nothing other than floawless. The ending was great! I can't think of any other way to say it except it places you back into your body.

This song puts you the state Trance is supposed to put you in, making you FEEL the song and not just listen to it. A lot of people who make this type of music could learn from you. Me being one... :)

Your ratings should be obvious.

ErikMcClure responds:

I had tons of influence from... whatever artists DJ-immune stole from xD

[Feel Good Inc [Surge Mix]]

Great Remix... kinda mello tho --- nm

heh turned up the volume.

OK!! yes it is repetitive, but turning a 3 min song into 7 isn't an easy task <:|

The beginning: GOOD! Had a good feeling to it! tho the drumz got old after a while :/ At 1:27 the synth that came in, the buzzy stutter, didnt fit the song well. It sounded too 8 bit, like you were throwing it into megaman or something. At 5:28 it sounded like a video game again :(

The Middle: at 2:22 it needed more of a noticeable transition, at least some sort of build up. And the organ-ish sound that comes it there doesnt fit to well, :\ not the right sound. The bass solo was GREAT! and the sweep at 4:48 was cool good sound effect.

The Ending (or near the end lol): first thing, guitar solo, two thumbs up! :D
And second thing, the ENDING! the VERY END! LAST FEW SECONDS... OOHHHHH It was the worst part of the song! *smack* REDO IT... it was goin then suddenly TRAILED OFF!! oooooo were talking about that.... heh heh
other than that it was great.

all in all: Great (except for the ending)

5/5 (great remix of the song! had LOADS of style... MULTIPLE styles!)
9/10( a BIG -1 for the ending.... 7 mins of song and a weak finish!)

Thanks for the experience,
?Random?

CyrusOfNaias responds:

I can always count on you, amongst a short few others, to give a thorough review X)

yeah McIntyre would have killed me for doing that to the ending, now that I think about it ^_^; At that moment in time, though, I had no idea how to keep pushing the end without having to slice the last audio clip into a hundred tiny fragments...

Gawd you'll never leave me alone about my percussion will you lol

thx very much m8, yes I wouldn't mind talking about it laterz
and hey, don't go to sleep too late >:# no wonder you wake so damn late

[(Dj-C) Top of The World]

well i like it

it just needs some mixing on the highs and bring out the hi hats a bit along with the other drums.

Very good first version.

4/5
8/10
keep it up. Its comin along!

?Random?

giovanni808 responds:

Thank you for writing a review :) I will look more at it. Gosh I am tired of 0-voters that don't give a review >.<

[Too Good For You]

too loud lol

that says alot coming from me considering i've blown two speakers in the last month :\ other than that its good.

?Random? (just turn down the volume and do some EQ-ing.

NitroHeist responds:

hey, thanks for the review I actually made this a few years ago, and a couple other songs i have, when i was learning FL, so i didn't really know much, and I've left FL for reason too. I can't reopen this song but i'll keep your comment in mind for the future.

thanks again. Peace.

[BeatSource_Clubland Experience]

You've got a nice piece of work here o_o

Ok.... I liked the shuffle of the beat that started the song, it brings in a nice intro. The bell-like synth was a nice touch to the song but, it got overused through that part and dulled the experience of it. The "eh eh ehhhhh" s that dotted the intro kinda threw off the song a bit too because it didn't match the key when the pitch dropped and it thew up a question mark :\ The actual words the guy said fit in nicely tho. The saw you brought in at 1:10 was too loud for the rest of that part. It was the right synth, but just too loud. It's like it was screaming at me lol. Same with the lead at 1:30. The soft part you introduced at 2:06 was unexpected! Sounded great tho! You COMPLETELY changed the style from Hardstyle to progressive trance for just a moment that sounded so good, I found myself saying "DAMN that's good." After that tho, the next part seemed kinda empty :\ The audience was a nice effect in it, but it still sounded empty. The way came out of that with the crowd at 3:13 was excellent, hands down. It gave me goosebumps lol. From there on was basically the same as the middle of the song with some slight differences. Work a bit on the volume levels is all I can pretty much say. Even tho IN YOUR FACE is good, it can sometimes be too much.

4/5 (Great song, but it seems to get VERY repetitive as it goes on.)
10/10 (The trance style you stuck in there was awesome, and no less. It balanced out the song's chaos.)

I look forward to listening and reviewing future and past submissions with much anticipation!

Ethalyn responds:

Whoah thanks for the long review =) I really...Can not, see, how this in ANY way is repetitive...Really...

BUT! Thanks for the compliments, and yesh indeed somethings maybe didnt work for you =P Glad you liked it =P

[~EnV~Endurance{NG Mix}]

58 channels?! musta been hell to sort through...

First things first, I finally found a dude that makes my favorite type of techno/dance.... Now for the review:

Good news: you had my head bouncin' from beginning to end >:) The beginning was hard, had a hell of a lot of bounce to it, introduced the beat right away and you just get absorbed into it. At 0:56 the vocal stutter sounded out of place, like it was thrown in there as an experiment, made me go "What was that?". At 1:56, the 16-bit style that you stuck in there was random, but fit in the piece like something would be missing if it WASN'T in there, and the coin effect that you added on was perfect to top it off (made me laugh :3 )

5/5 (My fav style... feels like you're keeping the beat by slamming your head a wall)
10/10 (Ain't gonna bring down the point for the vocal stutter... but work on that a bit more)

Sorry for the long review. What can I say... I'm a critic >:)
?Random?

Envy responds:

Lol well the vocal stutter I actually was more lazy than anything. I had it in there originally for the demo because At that point the song ended. When I revisited it and continued I didn't forget to take it out, I was too lazy to try and figure something else to take its place.

I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the long review!
