[Jumpstyle (Beat 1)]

Nice

It sounds pretty generic at the beginning, but when suddendly that "jumping noise" popped up it was clear that this isn't your everyday techno song.

I like how you added various parts to the song, this makes it a lot less generic and more interesting to listen to. Also the sound of the main beat is nice and creates quite a happy atmosphere.

JumpstylezBeatz responds:

Thanks im really proud of this piece. maybe i will be able to make a new one in the near future

[London Brew (One chord Jazz)]

Sounds good

This sounds pretty good. Very minimalstic, but I like what you created. The effect on the voices fits pretty well to the rest of the song and I like how they are "embedded" into the sound of the other instruments.

I especially liked the drums, they offer a nice beat.

Even though the song is relativly short (not even 2 minutes long) it "feels" like a much longer song. Maybe that's because of that little bridge between the verses.

The outro is done nicely as well with the stopping instruments and the voice that slowly gets quieter.

I noticed there's a hughe static sound right at the end, you may try to get rid of that as it is hihgly annoying.

HolyKonni responds:

Actually, the drums is the only thing I didn't make, they are samples I donwloaded. :) Static is annoying, yup, gotta fix that later maybe. Thanksfor the review!

[==(Endless Cyan Ocean)==]

Epic

A very long but very epic piece. I like the slow fade in, it kinda foreshadows in which direction this song is going: Nice and calm.

But there's more to it that just some nice and calm sounds. Sometimes a very creepy atmosphere lingers in the background, waiting to break free (at around 2:07), but it somehow never makes it all the way through to the foreground.
This gives the song a very interesting touch.

Also, even though the song breaks the 7 minute barrier it doesn't get boring one single second! Good job!

[Bizarre Spy Theme]

Starts good

Starts pretty good. The deep tones create some sort of mysterious atmosphere which would be perfect for a spy. But the ending is pretty messed up. It doesn't really fit to the start of the theme.

ForNoReason responds:

Yeah, I get what you are saying. Thanks!

[Billy Mays ;_;]

Good, but repititive

A nice song. You used a lot of different sounds and instruments. It starts off as a mostly electronic song but in between you suddendly come up with a nice guitar solo. The solo fits in pretty well where you put it.

However, the song gets a bit repititve after a while. Quotes would be nice to have, even though I wouldn't even recognize them (I don't live in the US and I wouldn't evene have a clue who Billy Mays was if it wasn't for NG and wikipedia ;) ). But it would bring some more variation into the song.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks, I'll try to get some quotes then and put them in.

[Word, yo. Funkay.]

Nice, but generic

Well, it's a nice (and funky) song. Reminds me a bit of songs that are played on various radio stations in the GTA games. Not too distracting from the actual game, but gives the player something nice to listen to.

But the overall impression is that it's a pretty generic song without too much changes during the song. A few breaks here and there would be nice.

statueofdiveo responds:

Yeah I could have worked harder

[Sweet Tooth]

Yep, candies are a nice thing

Wow, this reminds me a lot of Insane Clown Posse. It's just as crazy and the song just makes as much fun as a ICP song.

The intro is funny with that 8-bit-sound. I like how you used this sound later on in the song as well. It's a bit hard for me to understand the lyrics (well, english is not my first language), but the things I do understand sound... weird and funny.
But I would appreciate if you could post the lyrics in the comments.

IdofOz responds:

Ha, thanks! Much friendlier than ICP. And I only wear make-up on Saturdays when I go to the drag-queen brothel. Dressing like a clown is just too weird....

[This is NOT a Real Rave []

Sounds good

Strange. You say you are not happy with this track, yet you have a 9/10 review score after 4 reviews. So, I guess this track can't be that bad after all. ;)

I like the intro. Sounds pretty muffeled at first but gets clearer and clearer with every second until we are in the "main part" of the song.

And here it starts where I can hear why you aren't happy with the mixing. The sounds outpower each other here and a real structure is missing here.

However, the song gets a lot better again when you put in some various parts where you break up the main beat and bring some other beats in.

LightKeeper responds:

I'm not happy with the mixing on this track. The actual composition I'm actually happy with. The intro works out pretty well, but it's the rest of the song onward that concerns me because it has potential to be brought out so much better. The structure gets covered up by some poor mixing. Glad you were able to still enjoy it though. :)

[Surreal Emotions]

Nice, but repititve

As some reviewers already stated, this track is very repititve.

It starts off very nice with the intro. I like the slow fade in here. But sadly this piece doesn't offer too much else. It's just the same thing over and over until the song starts over.

Well, you said you made this in about 3 hours, and I think this is a rather short time to come up with a good track. Maybe if you invest another 3 hours you can create something much better.
You have the basics in this song, a very nice beat and a good background melody, so try to build up on this.
