[Minimalism (Day of Trance #3)]

Nice bass

I really like the bass. Even though the bass line gets repetitve towards the end of the song due to it's minimalisticness (wow, is that a word? ^^) it still is very powerful and I really would like to hear that a lot louder than I am able to hear it. XD

I can really imagine people dacing to this song in a disco.

The progression of the song is nice as well. It starts off with very little but more and more gets added to it the longer it plays. This makes the song very interesting for the listener, as s/he is "forced" to keep listening. Nice job!

Thank you for the review!

[[Assios] - The Office Remix]

Nice song

Well, I don't know the original so I can't tell how good or bad your cover is. But I can tell that it sounds pretty good. It is very diversified which makes it very interesting to listen to. Most techno songs seem to be very predictable, but yours isn't. So you get some points for originality. ^^

The intro is very nice with the piano. The drums at 0:24 are a bit generic, but luckily that's the only thing that's generic about your song. Good work!

Assios responds:

Thank you! Glad you liked it:) And yeah, the drums are a bit generic ;p

[Hell's Remedy Demo (2009)]

Good demo

This is a good demo. Makes me want to listen to the full song. However, I don't know if this is a general problem or it's just because it's a demo, but the beginning sounds too loud. It seems to me as if the instruments are just on the edge of creating static sounds.

But other than that, I think the song is good. :)

Needs vocals

A very nice track, I especially like the somewhat unique drums here (especially the intro riff is very nice). It's also nice that you gave the bass a bit more exposure. That instrument is sometimes very hard to make out and people miss out on some great bass riffs. So it's a good thing when the bass gets it's own little soli from time to time.

I also like the guitar, it sometimes plays a very upbeat, almost ska-like riff which creates a pretty happy atmosphere.

The only thing the song is missing now are some vocals. I think vocals would be a good addition to this song.

Sawdust responds:

I intend to record women queefing musically for the vocals.

[Strangled-you start somet]

Good song

This is a nice song to finish off the album. Some melodies in here I think I have heard before in other tracks.

At first I wasn't too happy about the dissonant tunes that you have in the song here and there. But then I read the description of the song and now I think the dissonant parts are a good way to "audiolize" (is that a word? ^^) the struggle the protagonist has. He can't make up his mind and as a result the piano doesn't really know what to play... so the result are a few dissonant tunes.

Calamaistr responds:

Unconventional keys are there not as a dissonant but the music is just in the same style on this psychological fairytale. Ive used such keys from the first track and on. :)

Thanks for the review.

[Mentality Breach]

Nice song

The music is very good, I like the melodies you came up with. They are really worth listening to.
I also like the mastering, everything can be heard just fine, even when all the instruments play at once.

However, the song gets a bit repetitive towards the end. Maybe you should try to come up with different parts for the song. One idea that comes to my mind is to try to write a short part for every emotion. The hardes thing with that approach would be to connect all those parts together so that it doesn't sound too strange when the song goes from one emotion to the next.

Birdinator99 responds:

You know, that's actually a pretty good idea, to focus on each emotion individually, then linking them together. Glad you liked the song, and thanks for your review!

[i ate the easter bunny]

Very simple song, but funny

The music here is very simple. Nothing too fancy, but at least the rhythm is very catchy.

Well, the main part of this song are the lyrics and they are pretty funny. Maybe a bit disturbing at times, but I like the twist in the story how the Bunny pops out again and whips you.

TheBardOfBlasphemy responds:

cheers man!

yeah simple is what i do... the music is just a way of delivering my community service annoucements :D

glad you found it funny... and thanks for the review!

[[herd] Triumphant]

Good

Well, it's a little bit generic... oh wait, others have already said that, right? Well, then it must be true. :P

Anyway, despite it's genericness the song is quite good. I like the upbeat rhythm the drums have to offer and the melodies sound good as well.

I think the more quiet part at around 1:37 doesn't fit too well in the song. It takes a tad bit too long before the song continues.

Herdunculus responds:

Ok! Thanks a lot. I get the point now, it IS a little generic...ok actually a LOT generic...rofl. I'm working on that now lol. I guess for now, I will have to take it as a compliment because I had thought this was not good enough to be compared to other songs...now it's generic. Cool...and not cool. Thanks again.

[ComTune]

Starts generic, gets better

I'm not too fond of effects on voices and I think it doesn't fit too well here as well.
But luckily the song has a lot more to offer than just the vocals.

In the beginning the song was a bit generic, but the beat really grew on me the longer I listened to the song. I think in the second half the song gets a lot better than in the beginning. Less vocals and more melodies here. Also, that "Rock this!" sounds pretty cool.
