"I believe..."

submission: ~EnV~Heaven Rd. 3

date: September 3, 2008

...That i reviewed the first version of this song and commented on how quiet it was... Holy fuck... what an improvement... on both Rd. 2 and 3. I have to admit, this is by far my favorite out of the other versions. Rd. 2 was very dancy... witch is nice... But this one is just gold. I LOVE the mastering on this one, you whipped out the effects book on this and it's fantastic. It's like a crazy seizure of awesomeness once it get's going... From 00:30 to 00: 60 is kick ass. I love that quiet industrial hammer sound... it reminded me of the one on Golden Eye. And everything from that point on is just damn insane, i'm a total sucker for anything kinda glitched and whacked out on filters and stuff, so i loved the hell out of this song. And the the revised piano melody was very nice too. No volume problems on this one, i gotta say, this is damn near perfection...

Can't wait for your new stuff to hit NG, I'll be sure to check the AP more often. Keep it up man, great stuff. :)

"Spookey...ER"

submission: [Zell] Halloween (X-Files)

date: August 16, 2008

Masterful... I rarely give a track perfect 10's but, i think i'll make an exception. Excellent progression, awesome beat, bass lines and synth use and great use of vocal samples as well. Would of like to hear some more glitch stuff... but hell there's just enough to tide me over. I like the kind of jungle flavor at the end there, it was a nice touch...although i think it would of been good to hear those powerful driving parts in the middle come back in. You really only hear them once before you transition into the next theme or melody. This is only a minor problem, one the comes straight from my own personal taste. So... in other words, you don't gotta really care.... ;)

Well to wrap this all up, congrats on an excellent song. You don't get to hear all together great songs in the AP too often... they're there... just too few and too far between. And make no mistake, this is one of those great songs.

Keep it up man, you've got real talent and i can't wait to hear what you come up with next.

"Spookey..."

submission: [Zell] X-files remix

date: August 14, 2008

I gotta say man, this is a hell of a sample. That laugh thing in the beginning was tight, reminds me of a sound used on Mythbusters... This is to short for me to really break down and give good suggestions but i have a feeling it's gonna be rockin the house when it's all finished. The only thing that i can think of that would make the song totally kick ass would be some glitch types of elements. Drop offs and shutters and what not, all coated over with a lot of reverb. dj_padman (NG artist) has a ton of sweet glitch filled songs that i enjoy... Give a few a listen if ya want. I aint promoting him or anything, he doesn't upload here any more sadly.

I can't wait to hear the finished product... or at least the NG cut that is. Keep up to great work, and the best of luck to ya. :)

"The force is strong with this one..."

submission: StarWars Remix

date: June 17, 2008

Great work man, i'm always a fan of a good remix and this is no exception. The only problem i had was that the lead synth was just a bit to quiet. But other then that little thing this is an excellent song. The melody from Duel of Heroes is a strange one and you recreated it perfectly. And i also liked how you encompassed many different sounds without ruining the song. Too many times i'v heard songs that start out great but then get to choppy and strange sounding when the artist tries to get creative.

Anyway... Keep up to good work...

"Very nice..."

submission: Rig - Moving On

date: June 12, 2008

The beat, synths and vocals are all superb. This would deffinatly get a club jumpin that's for sher. The only problem i had with this is that is sounds very mono, almost like it's been through a highpass filter or something. There could be a lot more spreading in sounds and kick to the bass in this... it sounds like all the sound is coming from the middle of the speakers. At first I thought it may have been my computer speakers so i put some good head phones on and it was the same. It did get better after 4:25 and the vocal echo's off to the right and left helped... But still, things just sounded very...trebbelish... and thin in a way.

But... in all fairness, i am a bit of a bass junkie so that could all just be me...

Now, this is tons better then i could hope to do... BUT that only means that the next thing you make is gonna be just plain awesome...

Either way man, great stuff, keep it up you've got talent.

"Very nice"

submission: Dj SpazTech - State of Mind

date: June 8, 2008

You have a very good strong beat and great lead synths and effects. But there just a little something missing. This song needs a nice deep atmospheric synth in the background, you know, to help to keep things flowing and moving the tempo along. Other than that one little thing, this is very good, you hard work paid off. I especially enjoyed the synth you used at 2:17, it's a cool sound.

Keep up to great work.

"Where's meh camel?"

submission: _-={A Lost Dream}=-_

date: May 28, 2008

Oooooh...Moving a tad eastern with this one eh? Love it.... downright love it. Awesome beginning, very powerful and driving. That East Indian kind of sound is great and as always, superb vocal chanting. I instantly though of a dude on a camel riding off into a huge red sun set across the desert. And the middle is very powerful with that flute...it almost sounded Japanese to me for a sec.

Only thing i would have liked to of heard in the first 40 seconds or so, is some low deep strings underneath everything, just too sorta help it feel more "full" or something. But that's just me...

Anywhozen... Great stuff man, I'm always waiting to hear what you come up with next, and I gotta say, the eastern flavor was a sweet surprise. Keep it up...

"Gettin there"

submission: New Hope

date: May 5, 2008

I did enjoy that melody, very nice and peaceful. But i didn't like the transitions to different sounds all that much. It sounded good with two or three of the trance synth sounds then it switched to something that really didn't work. And the beat needs just a little bit of work, it was pretty simple (and did get the job done,) i just didn't like the sound of the kick... it was kinda hallow or something. And the ending was a little rough, some echo or reverb at the end would of been nice to hear.

I myself have only made one fairly good trance type of song so most of the stuff i'm saying is purely on opinion and personal taste.

Other then those few thing this is a catch tune you've mad here. Keep up to good work.

"Quaint."

submission: _-={Moonlit Cobble}=-_

date: April 5, 2008

Moonlit Cobble..... Hummmm, didn't feel like a Moonlit Cobble street to me, more of a happy mid-summers meadow, with skipping and frolicking and all that other jolly stuff. It's a very nice piece none the less, very clean and crisp and good instrument use. It's a rather simple sounding song for you, I'm always up for hearing your epic songs but then again it's not entirely ALL yours now is, it and it's always good to have a change of pace now and then...

Anyway, good work on this guys, keep it up.
