[Stargenx - Epic Jam]

Another nice song from you!!

As Steph said in the first paragraph (I can't read the next ones, becaue they're too long!!), we're all listening great songs from you, and you are an extremely talented artist... Your music is really great, you use great effects and you know how to make real music, man.

The intro reminded me of a Ozzy Osbourne's song, called ''Mr. Crowley", I don't know if you listened that song before, but the intro is executed w/ an organ, and this song reminded it very much, because it has a nice sound, and it has kind of a nice feeling, just as like that song, the drums are well made, and the rhythm is very cool...

The name didn't fit really well to the song, I expected something faster and louder, the song got a bit relaxing, but it was nice, I liked the sounds and the beats, and the beat have a kind of epic beat, it made a great back, and it's tottaly great to listen that something is cool...

I think there could be some improvememnts, since the song is very short, and very repetitive, you could variate a bit more, but, anyways, you made a nice job, I liked the song, and as I said before, you have a great potential, keep it up, Stargenx!!

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review! I've never heard that song. I'm not good at naming things. :(

[Alot of Heart (WIP)]

Nice voice!!

I really liked the voice here, man, it fitted really well to the guitar, and the other sound elements, you just made a nice job here, I liked the lyrics, it fitted really wel to your voice, what is great, since the instruments need to fit well to the voice...

The music is very cool, I liked the way it started, you didn't made too much things, just a guitar and your voice, also, that synt. was very cool, because it gave life to the song, helping the guitars and the voice, you made the right choice when you added the synts in the middle of the song...

I have just one question, how did you recorded the guitar?? I wanna submit a song here, but I have any idea of what can I do... Keep it up, guy, you have a great potential...

Hope that helps. PM me if you want any more help

[Sweet Release]

Nice

I saw that this song is based in the game ''Mirrors Edge", huh?? Man, I gotta have this game, the songs must be awesome, I wish my PC supports the game... But I have a little netbook...

Anyways, the song was pretty nice, you mixed the whole sounds very well, the drums fitted with the main beat and the bass was great too, it made a great sound together with the piano, what is great, since the piano added something more to the song... I think this song has a kind of epic feel, since the piano and the synts are very good, they work greatly together, every instrument is working well here, too bad the song is a bit too short, I could listen to this all day long...

As a lot of people said before, the song is very slow... I don't care about this, I just think that faster or not, the song would be as great as it's now... It's just a great song here, GST... You made a great evolution, my friend... Keep it up!!

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks for a great review again man.

Epic you say? Nice man, that's awesome :)

I'm glad you like this so much, I always enjoy reading your reviews!

[Man in the Planet]

Great...

Really nice song, man, I'm very impressed w/ the lenght and with the instruments, it's very eletronic, and it seems like an ambient song, great for listening while navigating in the Internet... Since it has a lot of instruments and different sounds, but the variation wasn't very good, since it's a 7 min. song, you should variate it a lot, but... Didn't messed up w/ the whole song.

The song elements were very good, I liked the variations you made in the middle of the song, also, I liked the main theme, it remembered me the times when I played the Nintendo games, it has a greatsound, I loved the way you builded the song... It seems like a man is in an other planet, it has a spacial sound, I loved the effects...

Anyways, I just found one bad thing, that counted 1 point for you... If you variated more, your song'd be 10'd, but, anyway, i liked the song, you made an excelent job, and, I wanna listen more songs from you, you have a great potential, keep it up!!!

Cornilious responds:

Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, variation is an issue in this so if I ever go back and edit this I'll either take out one or two of the repeats or bring some variation to the melody (solo maybe?).

Will definitely keep the RRC posted when I get a new track up (probably rock genre) in a couple weeks.

Sucks about the flood of audio you guys seem to be getting. =/

[AF - Magic (Demo)]

Nice song...

I liked this song because of its melody... It's pretty contagious and nice, I think it's very relaxing, too, since it has soft beats and a nice piano in the back... Also, the drums are awesome, it made a great atmosphere in my room, fitted perfectly with the main soft beats... I loved the great melody it has.

As I said before, it's pretty relaxing, because of the soft beats, I was reading things in the Forum, and it created a great sound, I was a bit sleepy, but this gave me a bit of motivation, I tought it was a great song...

Another great ong from you Alias... The song is very relaxing and it's very cool, too, you made a really great job here, but I think that something is still missing, I think that you can improve the lenght, I know it's still a demo, but I wanna see a flawless song in the full part... You have potential, man, keep it up...

aliaspharow responds:

I am actually almost finished with this song. But i think I'm gonna keep it for my upcoming album. The full version is a real keeper.

Thanks allot for the review man! I have you know that your reviews, next to steph's, are definitely the ones i appreciate the most!

[Fulfillment Part 1]

Nice song... I liked it...

That's a pretty cool song, man, I liked the beat and its variations, you made a nice and different sound, it's a very cool thing to listen, I liked a lot this song... Also, the piano was pretty nice, also, the keyboards made a great sound in that solo part (or it was a guitar??).

The drums were very nice, it gave a new look to the song, also, it gave life to the song, since it created a nice back atmosphere in the song's ambient, what's pretty cool, since it's a very important requirement in a song, and you made a great song here...

The main beat was nice, I liked the variation, but I still think that the end was a bit repetitive, but it didn't mess up w/ the whole song... You have potential, man, keep it up, I wanna listen more from you!

WizMystery responds:

Thanks for the review!

The end was a bit slow-changing. I originally planned this to be longer, but decided to split it into two. The second half is being worked on, and has a lot more variation in theme.

[Calm_Sky [Box-Killa]]

Great

Man, you made a great job here, I loved this song, it's so nice, and it has a great sound, the ambient this song made in my room is simply awesome, it loops perfectly, and I felt that the music didn't end, what makes it a better song, since it's awesome to listen when you're navigating in the internet, it has a perfect sound and it's awesomely relaxing...

The song was very calm, but you knew the right time to speed it and to put a drums, the drums part was the better part of the song, I liked the sound it had, you are a great composer, Box, I love your songs, yu know this, and I think you have everything to be one of the bests musicians of NG...

I liked the song man, too bad it's way too short, you could add more elements to the song, or add a new beat in it... But, anyways, you made a nice song here, keep it up Box...

Box-Killa responds:

Thanks man, very encouraging review :D

[dubstep wip]

Sounds good...

I liked this song, it's a wip, but I think you can improve it, since it's in progress... I lked the sound, it's pretty technologic, it has a nice sound for an intro, I think it could fit in a game menu, or in the credits, I just think that you could add a new beat and powerful drums, it'd give a nice sound for the song, adding some quiet guitar solos would be nice, just in the back, to give some variety for the song...

The beat was pretty repettitive, in the full song, you could add more beats, variating, since the same kind of beat gets a bit repetitive in the final result, but I think you have enough potential to make a nice song, you have creativity and experience, but please, make the right choices, don't mess up with this song...

Anyways, keep it up, I wanna listen to the final result, I expect a great song from you Sessile, I know you're a great musician, keep it up, guy!!

SessileNomad responds:

thanks, im not working on this one anymore, i might come back to it, but im currently immersed in musics with odd time signatures, so im working on those styles of stuff

[Passive Ignorance]

Rock, FINALLY!

Ha, finally, a rock song, my speciality!! I think this song was super cool, but the guitar got a little too repetitive, the riff wasn't so great, but it was kind of creative... The drums made a nice backsound, it fitted very well together with the guitar, it made a great combo.

The guitar sound was pretty cool, the drums made a nice sound, and the riff was pretty well made, since it fits with the song's context, but it repeated too much, it'd be way better if you variated a little bit, adding more slow parts, and adding faster parts right after the slow one... Just as like Iron Maiden's awesome songs.

Also, the lenght is too short, it seems that it has 1 minute, since it repeats too much... I suggest you to hear Led Zeppelin's songs, they have quality and the lenght is great, also, it'd be an awesome inspiration for you...

The song's quality wasn't so good, but you made a good job, just make the songs a bit longer, using more effects and sounds, and then the song'll be great... Keep it up, man!

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, I'll probably get more melodies in there. Probably make the next song way longer with less repetitiveness. Anyway, thanks!
