[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.

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.

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.

[Hardcore Demo]

Hard

The beat is pretty hardcore, so I guess you achieved you goal there. :)

At first I feared that this would be too repititve, but you threw in some nice melodies during the middle of the song.

Still it sounds a bit too generic for me.

Thanks for the review.

[Everything *Remastered*]

Good

I also listened to the original you linked to in the comments and I have to say I like your version better. You managed to create a much better sound, it's much clearer and the kick really sounds better now.

Also, the quality of the song as a whole is amazing. This sounds like some song I could hear on the radio.

[Horatio Shades]

Not bad

This is quite good. The sound is a bit muffled, but it has it's own charm. The intro is nice and it kept me listening, waiting for the things to come.

The main riff was nice, too. But the hi-hat seems to be all over the place. At least it sounds as if it is being hit at random intervalls... at least it doesn't sound that good.

The little solo bit is awesome, but you should work on the outro, it just stops in the middle of the note.

Thanks for the advice, and sorry for the late response
