[The First Sunrise Original Mix]

\m/

This track has a very nice feel to it.

It's a bit boring at the beginning as there isn't much happening there, but after about one and a half minutes the song builds up very nicely and more melodies set in.

However, there's a bit too little variation throughout the song, makeing it a bit repititve.

Ah , i was afraid of comments like this. ( and i got loads of them so yeah... )
Yes it's repetive, i admit. But i learned alot of this track. It was more of an experiment anyways :).

It sounds a bit weird at the beginning. And it sounds weird in the middle. And at the end, too. ^^

Well, I can't really make up my mind on this song. There are a few dissonant tunes during the intro, and after that, the melodies are thrown together in a wild way (or at least it seems that way), but strangely enough: It works!

DjCompass responds:

Well as long as you liked it ^^
Thanks for the review.

[Somewhere in Nevada]

I like how the song builds up. First 30 seconds are pretty quiet, but slowly there are more parts added.

I really like the melodies you used here. They are very catchy. Also, the beats create a dense atmosphere.

I'm not sure if this fits into a madness movie (I haven't watched that many anyway), but it defenatly fits to a big fighting scene.

WritersBlock responds:

Yeah, I think I'm getting pretty good with creating an atmosphere now, but as for specific themes, I'm still trying to get those down. I just write, and follow an instinct, which ends up being different from my original goal. Thanks for the review.

It seems to me as this is highly underrated. I mean, it's good in every aspect. The sound quality is very good and the mixing is done good as well. Everything can be clearly heard and nothing is overpowered. There are no statics in here...

The music is good too. The melody and the "na na na na na"-bits are very catchy and are almost as good to be sung in a football stadium like White Stripes "Seven Nation Army".

Also, this reminds me of something... some band or some song. But I really can't put my finger on it...

Anyways, great song!

Thanks! :D

[Digital High]

I like the melodies in this track. They are very catchy and I still can hear them in my head, even though I already stoped the track some minutes ago.

The beats are also very nice and together with the melodies they make up for a great song.

However, for my taste there's too little diversification from the main beat and main melody.

Bob-Music responds:

Understandable, it does stick to a pretty strict pattern throughout but thanks for scoring high anyway :)

[basshunter song loop]

\m/

It sounds as if you tried to put in too many things in a too short song. You had a lot going on at the same time so it is very hard to focus on something special here.

Try to make the song longer and try to build it up better. Use one effect/instrument/melody, add another, slowly fade out the first and start with a third instrument/effect/melody, and so on.

[The Death of Hank]

\m/

The "intro" of this track seems a bit too long. It takes some time until finally something happens when the faster sets in.

I guess it would work better and sound less repititve when it is included into a movie. Then we not only have the song to listen to but also the plot to follow on the screen (and indeed, it worked quite well when I read through your description while listening to the song).

I like the ending of that song. The hold note may say: "Ok folks, this was the LAST episode ever" or it may say: "to be continued...".

WritersBlock responds:

Hehe, thanks. Yeah, I've been going through a learning curve on structure recently, compensating short, under-developed tunes for long, perhaps too paced out songs. I'm just waiting for that to balance so that my music won't need the movie to still be an interesting song to listen to.

This is a nicely paced song with a good beat and great melodies.
The statics in this song are no problem. I fact, I thought at first that they belong to the song and I think they fit very nice to the track.

This should be a bit longer, though... ;)

[.:HMS:. Venture - Omega]

\m/

It's a very intense song. I like how it builds up over the time.
I also like the somewhat dark atmosphere of the song.

The beat is very nice and the melodies are good too.

But it sounds somewhat a little too random. I'm missing something like a leitmotif in this song.
