its so abrassive. distortion on bass is usually a very bad thing
drum layers were cool. there was a lot of semi-tones on those synth lines...

once the drums come in. It layered very nicely.
The piano was a little grainy, and it is one of the first instruments introduced, so you might want to re-eq the lows(down) primarily. I also wasn't a fan of the delay on it.
There were some cool synth parts, at the 45 second mark. The solo synth at 1:30 sounds better with the filter on, it overdrives before that point. Good stuff.

I really liked how the oboe or w/e reed instrument that was came in. Timpani and crashes were definitely added alot to the feeling of this piece. Strings were placed well in the background, and the xylophone hits, thought sparse, brought out the melody nicely. I would use them more when possible.
The piano sounded a little grainy on the low end of the spectrum. Otherwise, very well done.
Finding a lost friend might be a more cheery occasion, but I liked your take on it.
Author's Response:
Well, i had my doubts about the Marimba (not xylophone ;p), so i decided to keep it out the rest of the melody.
Thanks so much for the review!

nothing new
basic beat, repetitive lyrics, cheesy synth lines...
of course this is number one of the week.
The shit with the vocals at 2:45 were the coolest part. Do that more

the pad is really eerie, but the synths are so pop sounding. The piano could have used a little more action in the melody after the 1:10 mark. The strings sound really cool panning back and forth, full as hell too. Oh yea, knew the drop was coming haha. Low piano notes are badass during this part. Pads are really crazy, they modulation on them sounds like a mandolin strumming.

There were still some parts i listen to now that I recognize need just a tad more work...
But don't worry, I'll keep improving this stuff.

cool bells in the echo background. Organ might have beel a little overpowered...
nice evil laugh. I could imagine some crunching guitar riffs coming in after it. They would fit well with the drums. The part at 1:10 needed another lead, not another bass, it gets boring as is. The whole second half has been pretty repetetive so far actually.
It's alright. nice feel, mediocre execution. I want more of the initial instrument!

is from the nutcracker suite. Though its not the dance of the sugar plum fairy, which is more commonly associated with it. I would probably take out the piano in this one, doesn't really go with the atmosphere.
Wasn't too fond of the drums at the end, but it sounds pretty cool. I think a slowed down remix of this would be more epic.
I might have to try that...
