[Forgotten Love]

\m/

Yes, it sounds very sad. And yet, it sounds as if not all hope is already lost. The light at the end of the tunnel is still there. ;)

Too bad that this is so short. I'd like to hear that expanded into a longer track, with a few more instruments added to it. A classical guitar or a second piano would fit in here, I think.

[Xperiment - Grid]

\m/

The melodies and the beats you used here are very nice. The problem is, that the song is quite long, but there's not that much happening here.

The result is, that the song keeps itself in the background too much for my taste.
A few more parts/melodies would be pretty nice to have here.

[Death Ditty~Listen At Own Risk]

\m/

The description is quite interesting, even though I thought at first that the whole "cursed" part is overdone. But you added a good joke at the end with the psychologist (I think you should have written "Psychiatrist" there...).

Anyway, the song is... well... different. It sounds a little bit spooky from time to time, but the long pauses really hurt this piece. They destroy every bit of atmosphere that the song might create.

Cut out the long pauses and add a bit more to the song. Maybe a drum track with Bongo drums and some sinister humming in the background.

[Fancy Mike - Heavy feat. WS]

\m/

The main melody of this song is very nice, and the beat is good too.

But it's too repititve. The song is over 3 minutes long, but there just isn't happening enough to keep the song from getting a bit boring towards the end.

You should try to add some more parts and different melodies to the track.

[==(Repairing a Broken Sky]

\m/

Very relaxing indeed. I just came home and had quite a hard day. I went to NG and listened to this piece... I did what you said (I sit back and listened to the track) and what should I say? I feel better now! :)
Maybe it's not only due to your track, but also because I just relaxed for a few minutes. But your song definatly helped a lot.

I especially like the powerful drums here. Most other tracks on NG have some very bland sounding drums, but these here are so bassy, so deep, it's amazing.

[Flight Of The BumbleBee -Alix1]

\m/

It's a very nice song and I think you've done a good job playing it.

Sometimes it seems as if the deeper notes are slightly off and dissonant, but maybe there's something wrong with my ears, heh.

However, I like your interpretation of the song quite a lot.

Thanks!
There might be some notes off but for the most part I did my best to make sure all the notes were spot on. thanks for the review!

[What's This? {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

\m/

I like the original from the movie where much and I think you've done a good job here.

But I think this song needs a more "monumental" sound to it. Maybe a second piano track with a little echo added to it would help here.
Also, I think the vocal line should be imitated with some instrument, too.

OMG. Im sorry i didnt reply to this. Um... lol but thanks for the review!
Yeah it is just a little bit flat.

[Fancy Mike - Monsterville]

\m/

It has quite a funky feel to it, but I didn't like the changes to the "flutes" (well, they sound like flutes...). It somehow doesn't really fit in there. Maybe the change from that "big band feeling" to the "one flute player feeling" is too big.

Also, the song is somewhat repititve. Some more parts would be very nice to have here. Maybe even some lyrics, but those wouldn't fit that good into your "marching band" theme, I guess.
But sound samples would still work here.

The song didn't loop that good, which is also a small minus. The change from the end to the beginning sounds too abrupt.

[TBBAM: Ivan's Theme]

\m/

It's a good theme song. It is much like a catchy tune. I can hear the melody in my head right now, even though I stopped the song a few minutes ago.
In my opinion, this is what a theme song has to be like. It's almost as if I can already see your character having his appearance in the flash movie while this song plays... so, I guess you have done everything right here! Good work!

This song gets stuck in my head alot too lol.

[Echoz- Castles]

\m/

It's a very nice tune. You put a lot of variations in here, so the song doesn't get repititve, which is always a big plus. ^^

Also, you added vocals here, which too keeps the song from getting boring.

Only thing that bothers me is the rather bad cymbal/hi-hat sound. It just sounds too artificial. But I guess that's because of the program you used to create this. Good drum sounds are pretty hard to come by.
