[Swimming in the Oil-sticky mix]

yea

i liked this, little repetetive, but you threw some really need effects in there, especially at the end. Your synth beats were all over the place. The melody was nice with the bend/portamento going on.

5ing

[~EnV~System Shock {Prev}]

o my

Go on with your bad self.

The open hi hat in the beginning had chorus on it if im not mistaken, didnt think it sounded too hot. The leads and pads were quite superb, they all built on eachother very nicely. The second set of drums to come in were much better than the first ones.
I hate finishin songs like this, you know there is so much potential, but you have no idea where to begin. Its a daunting task haha. Keep it up dude

[SR - LLP - Demo-]

who really cares

what its labeled as. Pointless reviews...

the drum beat is really different than what I'm used to hearing in your music. I liked it. The hi hats were all glitchy, something you utilize well. The synth hits accompianed by the crashs were freaking sweet. This song calls for a conga and shaker duet at the end, when it mellows down. The subtractor was groovy, you went up and down the scale really well. That effect at the end, when the hits went down in pitch was something i wasnt expecting, you should totally expand on that in the next part.

Overall, you have got a really nice beat going on here. You should throw in some dark strings and a synth lead and see where it goes. Keep working on this one.

YAY!

25th review....

Lets see here,

The intro pad string combi was nice, the drums were a bit strange though. It was off beat a tad. The patch was just a simple rock kit with a dance like kick, which worked fine for the song, but I still feel like it lacked some percussive power, especially with that running synthline you had. There's like no hi-hat beat, besides a ride...

At the end, from a composition standpoint, the faster piano rhthym should be used when going up to the chord before it in the later's section. Does that make sense, prob not.

Overalll, sounds worked wll together, very straightforward song. Good to see alot of people are responding... :)

[27 (Trippy Groove)]

heyo

This track needs more bass in general to be true hip-hop, sounds alright in headphones, but on me subs it sort of gets pushed back, by the detuned synths you were throwing around. The plucked and vox sounds were very intresting indeed.

What are they saying around 1:30, really creeping me out. Wtf is up with the breakdown at two minutes, came out of nowehere haha. I feel like im gradually slipping down a slope into a pit of despair. I want my mommy?

But seriously, this is pretty good shit, little bit reptetive at times, but hey, its hip-hop. Keep it up man!

[Illusion (Wings to Fly remix)]

very well done

didnt care too much for the bass sample, but the build up was really nice. Im assuming youre doing this all yourself which is really awesome. Chorus and then instrumental, might switch the chord right before the voice comes back in. Sounded a bit off. Filter dums lead to the chorus again, all the makings of a radio playable song.

This song is structured, crazy ass key change at the end. Good job hitting theh igh notes and making them blend.

[65% incomplete]

ye ye

oscillating chords combined with a saw pad created a lot of tension. The short synths and th eportamento strings didnt relieve much of it : )

use of the sax again, its got a pretty nice quality, but with every other patch in this synth pretty much it might sound better with another lead. I liked how the pipe lead matched the vox in the section before it. That sax came out of nowhere in my left ear haha.

Little breakdown was really random in the end, but i liked the groove you had going, with the nano drums. It sounded nice with the voice panning.

ta for the comments bra...
man, i'm so pissed i've lost this...
;ped

[bringing saxy back]

all over the place

first part was a little off, liked some of the hits, but the attack was later. Really liked the snare rolls, and the beat was all over the place in general. The tenor solo was very beautiful, with the acoustic guitar in the background.

Cant translate what your saying, but it sounds really nice. I like how it fades out ambient in the end.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

cheers bro.
'all over the place', u should be used to that from me by now, i feel that this does retain a fairly nice flow tho so it can afford to be.
i've been listening to this again today and i've decided that regardless of what every1 says i do like the first part and also i think the track needs it, the storm b4 the calm and all that. i think maybe it's the wierd groove thats throwing people.
as for the vocals, is absolute gibberish, i hate writing lyrics so the perfect solution is to talk nonsense, sounds kinda spanish, it works for my ears tho.
anyways, thanks for the review

[Solus- For Schala]

Id rather be the 10th reviewer...

but i guess this works.

Some of the bass nortes during the main piano solo (before the pan flutes came in) seemed like they were leading to nowhere. I would have to see the composition in its entireity to give you any exact advice, but what goes up, must come down?

Ill agree with Khus that the saxs sounded like shit, haha. I also played sax, tenor... I thought they sounded nice at the end, but when they were intoduced in the beginning, they were too harsh. This song would like to see a harp.

The piano part was very nice and playable, a few stretches on the chords, but its all within reason. Good stuff Solus.
youre in my imagination

SolusLunes responds:

The bass notes were intended as a counter to the repetitive high notes, they were kind of the main melody of the piano solo.

I figured they deserved it. And fuck, I REMOVED THE LAWS OF GRAVITY FOR THE SONG.

FUCK YOU SAX IS SEXIER THAN YOU :D (and the harp sounds like shit here. >:( YOU LIED TO ME.)

[==(Follow the Wind)==]

Oh SBB

your ambience is so chilling. I had a long review about how scary that one instrument that sounds like a horn growling was (2:39), but i pressed something and it dissapeared. The quality is superb, keep it up
