Wow.
I must say, I'm impressed by the quality of the sound as well as the composition of the track. Love that rhodes piano. The guitar's tone is superb (as well as the recording quality) and the drums are nice.
The only problem I see with the track is the length. Its shortness is very disappointing.
But otherwise, it's a great job. Keep it up, fave'd as an artist.
Thank you for listening, GronmonSE!
Yes, the track is a little bit short..this was intended to be a try! :)
And..good luck for MAC8!
Excellent track.
The track sets up the perfect mood for a strong and emotional song. The only problem is that the song is lacking lyrical content to hold it together, y'know?
Regardless, a fine mix. Nice job and good luck on the MAC ;)
Hmmm.
This is odd. It's catchy and very raw if you ask me. Normally I'd give it a worse score, but I like the melody and the simple way you put this together. Nice job, mate. Might remix it if I have time, with your permission of course ;)
Depressing melody.
Very nice.
I had to download the song and put it in my iPod (God knows it'll stay there for a while :D) to listen to it because my pc headphones suck.
I love how you put this track together. The first part sounds nice, very good composition. The high frequencies kinda bug me though. The way you introduced the drums was excellent, although I think there's too much reverb on them and they drown out the melodies. Otherwise, very nice and bassy. I think trance would be a more fitting genre, not entirely sure though, not very good at determining electronic genres.
Crazy bass after 4:20. I love it, even though I've never been a fan of such basses. It's a nice riff (not sure if riffs apply to techno) and goes great with that strong kick and snare you have.
Overall, it's a great track with a few "flaws" (which could depend on the perspective of course). Too much reverb IMO and too bassy, but that might be just me. It would definitely sound amazing in a club though. Nice instrumental and effects choice, although the mix isn't very clean as a result of all the instruments.
Still, great job.
I totally agree, i had so much to put in this song but I ended up taking it out because it made it so confusing to listen to.
Yea, little too much reverb, I got too excited at how kool my beat sounded xD
It's kinda hard to get the perfect amount of bass. took me 5 renders to get it the way it is. It still crackles a bit but after spending about a month on this I let it slide.
Thanx for the in-depth review =]
Hah
You should just make a folder with all your music because it'd most likely end up in my iPod. I'm getting tired of repeating myself everytime I comment on your stuff, but keep doing what you do best because I love it <3
Did I ever tell you that your music is both a source of inspiration as well as a huge turn off? It inspires me to get better(which is hard) and push my own limits (even though our music is different). It's a huge turn off because I know that I'll never get as good as this. But regardless, I find myself getting inspired by it more often.
Cheers.
Don't ever think that you'll never get as good as you want to be. Remember to make music in the way that you want to hear it. If there is a sound or an idea that you want to hear, learn how to do it and do it.
thank you for the super review man.
Very nice.
Viva Mexico, cabrones :D
Ahem...
Great song. I love how all the instruments blend in flawlessly. The introduction of strings is excellent and they add a lot to the piece. The only "problem" I see is the cymbal used in 1:15 . I feel like it doesn't fit in with the rest of the instruments. As a matter of fact, I think it's awful :P
Imagery...mine's slightly different. It reminds me of childhood more than anything else. Probably someone getting a flashback, thinking about his dearest moments as a child.
Very peaceful track, nice work.
VIVA!!
I'm not quite a patriot anyway...
About the cymbal, it was originally written for a rock drumkit cymbal and I found something similar in GPO. The weird thing is that in the actual playing it sounded the way it sounds now, and it's the same cymbal I used for my other song "The Wind Warrior". Weird, maybe it's not the same but it's still confusing. Maybe that cymbal preceded by a reverse cymbal would make it sound better, but I don't feel like adding or changing anything at the moment.
The flashback imagery is nice. To tell the truth, I wasn't thinking of anything when composing this song. Once finished, I had to think of something say in the author comments. But shhh! Don't tell anyone! ;D
Thanks for reviewing!
'Bout time :D
Besides the crit I gave you somewhere else, it's pretty good :D
Keep it up.
Thank you, and will do.
Pretty good.
Fits a medieval-looking game perfectly, very magestic sound. All the instruments blend nicely and the composition is excellent.
Not much else I can say to be honest. It's a really good loop, nice work.
Jazza studios...same guy who produced The Composer if I remember correctly :D Looking forward to the game.
Wow.
Long time no see, Mr. I Write Long Reviews haha.
Amazing track sir, as simple as. I forgot which program you acquired before I stopped coming to Newgrounds but you definitely make great use of it. Overworked? Never, it's perfect. Smooth drums, very fitting and "icy" piano, nice wind instrument (I assume there's a wind-like instrument there) and good strings (I'm running out of adjectives here! Need a thesaurus :P)
It's tracks like this that make me wish I could write longer reviews to emphasize just how GOOD it is, but no words come out other than amazing. Good job, keep it up.
Hey Gronmon! Welcome back!
I thought it was overdone at the time, but this, unlike all (and I mean all) my other tracks, is the only one which I can come back to and actually like. Stilll some things that can be done I imagine, sound production is a bit mickey mouse for one, but that's just the way she goes you know? I'm trying to improve in that area.
and man, you don't need to write long reviews, but I really do appreciate that you think this is really good. Thanks a lot for the review man :D Great to have you back with us on NG!
