[-Voluble- [MAC 2008]]

Very nice.

And I feel what you're saying about what the song embodies for you. Personally, I can't think about being depressed without thinking of ways of overcoming and being more empowered in the end. :P Curse of being a positive thinker maybe? lol.

But yeah, great tune, dude. :)

Gloudas responds:

haha well put
thanks for the review

[Karco - Time For Morning]

What can I say besides...

Sexy, sexy, sexy!

Only a few things I felt I didn't like but they're entirely minor and probably because I'm being forced to use my laptop speakers at the moment.

Regardless, it sounds hot through even these shitty things so top work man. :) Obviously you mastered it at least a -lil- bit for it to be sounding this crisp. Great stuff!

Karco responds:

If the few things you didn't like were the sound of the song, it might be the sound and not your speakers, but you can have a listen to it from something more reliable and decide for yourself. ;)

Thanks for the review!

[Burning Temptation]

Nicely done

Feels like a euro dance party in my pants!

Kr1z responds:

pantsparty yay!!

[Piano Duet]

Nice melody :)

Definitely something that could be developed into a very good song.

TheSwitch responds:

TNX!!!

[Final Solution - Zodiax -]

Nicely done but...

The way the melody was going I was fully expecting some hard drum n bass. :) I think it would've been more suited to the emotion the notes were evoking.

Good work!

Zodiax responds:

well, ive never really been good at drum and bass, but i'll take it into consideration, thanks for the review

[=Judgement Day=]

You have been judged!

And awesome was the verdict! :)

Very chaotic and powerful. Freakin' -LOVED- the metal double-kick action. Very thoughtfully laid out and incredibly provoking.

It was funny, at first I thought you were going for a dark remix of a Billy Idol tune but I quickly forgot that idea as it progressed into something all it's own. :)

Great piece of work, dude!

Hades responds:

Yeah, the double-kick always makes the whole song sound a LOT more intense, plus I tried to add more and more of it gradually to build up a feeling of growing tension. And I believe I haven't exactly had my period of Billy Idol covers, but if I happen to do any, you'll be the first to know! ;D

Thanks a lot for the review!

[~ Sympathetic Strings ~]

Lol, sounds like...

the choir section from an old classic rock tune that's totally slipping my mind right now.

Catstuffer responds:

aah, ok then!

[UN-limit-ED Final Version]

Sexy!

Nice blend of trance/electro/house, man! :) Had my head boppin and feet a-stompin.

Especially loved the saw bass, but that's cause I'm a sucker for the zipper basslines. :)

The rhodes-style piano at about 2 minutes was a nice touch, especially with the rolling you did with it (coupled with the rhythm synth in the bg).

However, at 3 minutes in it just goes wrong. :p no need to shift the notes up, sounds kinda awkward. maybe do the drop 8 bars earlier cause I didn't like the sound of the pitch-shift at all.

Though I looooooove the piano arpeggio and the kick drops at just the right time. However, the open hi-hat sample you use is too cliche. Used in almost every late 90s house tune.

All in all, a solid track with just a few minor problems :)

AlSarci responds:

i know theres some stuff that still needs work, but thanks for all the positive feedback :D

I might work a bit more on this in the future, when i have fresh ears :P

[Dancing Squares]

rofl

Where's that sample taken from? Sounds like it's from one of those sound effect key chains. :D lol, very fun.

Father-of-Death responds:

that was me being wierd and i made the music in fl7... haha
