[The AfroBlues]

\m/

Very nice blues song with the "standard blues riff" that has already been used in so many songs but that never gets old.
The distrortion of the guitar could be turned down a bit, though. I think it would sound even better then.

The harmonica is played very well and adds a lot to the blues feeling of that song. Also the piano sounds very nice. I don't think its drowning out the guitar.. I think it's the other way round, heh... but maybe that's just the guitar player in me. I'm (nearly) always able to hear the guitars, but other instruments are quite hard for me to make out. XD

Anyways, the song is very good. If you would make it a bit longer and add vocals to it, it would be perfect.

[Halloween (unfinished)]

\m/

The intro sounds very unfinished and not very fluent. There are a few noticeable breaks every now and then. Let all the notes ring in the intro and it will sound a bit better, I think.

When the other instruments start playing it gets a lot better. The main theme has a great halloween feel to it, so you've reached your goal here.

The drum track is very nice and it adds a lot of varity to the song.

[The Darkest Hour {BMI/CM}]

\m/

That really is a kickass song! The intro is a bit too slow for me, but the riff that comes right after the intro nearly blew me away! It just contains everything I want to hear in a riff.

The vocals of B-M-I are pretty awesome, too and they sure fit to the amazing riff and lead guitar.

Only the drums sound a bit too weak compared to the vocals and the heavy guitars, but you get 10 stars from me, anyway!

[The Street Life]

This is definatly better than the sample version of this song. The vocals fit in very good together with the piano and the drums.

The parts between the "vocal parts" could be a bit more interesting, because there's not that much happening. Just the (undoubtedly doog) main beat keeps playing. Those interludes could use a few variations from the main theme, I think.

Other than that the song is really good!

ok ill look into it

[Space Elevator (S.C.)]

\m/

Great song! Reminds me a bit of "White Town" (you probably don't know it, it was a so called "one hit wonder" ^^), because of the effects on the voice.

The beat of the song is very cool and fits perfectly together with the vocals.

Well, not much else I could write here, except for: Great song! Keep it up! ;)

Thank you so much :D

[Jxl180 - Heist]

The intro is very nice, but the change over from the intro to the "real" song isn't really fitting there. A smoother change over would be better here, I think.

The main part of the song sounds very nice. You had a lot of changes from the beat, which is a good thing. That way you keep the listener interested and the song doesn't get repititive too fast.
But the same problem I had with the intro applies here as well. The change overs from the "soft" parts to the "hard" parts doesn't really fit. You should try to work on a smoother change over and you have a great song here!

Thank you, i was thinking when making it if I should just take out that intro and start off the song after it and leave the intro part towards the end.

[Dewy Embers (Mo-Tech remix)]

\m/

I think this submission works best as background music. The track keeps itself in the background quite nicely, so that it doesn't distract the player from what he is doing.
Also the melody sounds very nice and even a bit relaxing. So I think this song would fit very well into some sort of puzzle game.

Even though the track is very long and it's not happening that much during it, the song doesn't get boring all the way through. Nice job!

Thanks for the review :)

[BlkAce: Mario Underground]

I really like this one. The song starts off pretty slow but it builds up the longer it goes on until you have a very great song there.

However, the building up could be a bit faster in the beginning, because it gets a bit boring before it really starts.

The drum track is pretty nice and offers a very cool beat. It's also pretty nice that you used soundFX from the game to create beats and a melody in this song. The idea might not be very original (I think I've heard some other tracks where the same happened), but you executed the idea very well!

The ending gave me a good laugh, it fits so perfectly! :D

lol thats great news

thanks for your review!

[WAKIWAI (DjD)]

The beat is very nice and the melodie's very catchy. I think this would work best in some sort of "future racing game" (like Wipeout) as the beat sounds very "futuristic" with those reverbs and it also keeps quite well in the background, so it wouldn't distract the player.

Woo, thanks for the review! Yeah, i can see what you mean with it being in a racing game...Nice!

[Ouroborus]

\m/

I listened to this using normal speakers and using my headphones. You're right, this song sounds better on headphones. I think it's because on headphones the nice bass line coulb be heard much better than on speakers.

I especially like how you start with this song. At first just some rather strange noises playing a weird melody can be heard, until the drum track sets in slowly.

Even though the track is about 3 minutes long you managed to keep me interested in it the whole time through, because you added various parts to the song and thus making it very diversified. Great!
