[Soul Summon]

\m/

There's a lot missing here to be really "creepy" or "hell like", I think.

First of all, those pic scratches don't really fit in there. It sounds as if a squeaky door would be opened. So, either let the scratches out or you should put much more effects on there (a phaser and a chorus should work, I think).

Then, there are just some background noises missing. Some sort of blowing wind, or something similar. Maybe some distand screams, too.

Right now it sounds like a "beta-version" of hell, so build up on what you already have. ;)

Thanks.

The classical approach works very well with this melody. It really sounds like some classical masterpiece, while at the same time it doesn't loose it's "video game feeling".

Good work!

Arigato ;)

[Ex Nihilum Remix]

\m/

The intro is very nice. It's quite different from what you can usually hear in songs.

The rest of the song is great, too. You added very nice melodies to it and it never gets boring.

Thanks for taking your time to review my work.

[Beach Melo Remake 2008]

\m/

The song is quite nice. You added a lot of different parts to it, thus makeing the track quite varied.

I like the deep bass, it's just the thing you need in a good dance track.

The little "break" in the middle of song is very fitting, too. It also keeps the track from getting boring/too repititive.

FlamingFirebolt responds:

BASS!!
Bass is certainly a main part in ANY song in my oppinion. its the structure of the melody. And in most songs it just feels good <3.

Thanks you liked it.

These are some very nice melodies put into this track. Very catchy. And that high pitched "ding" that can be heard in the track (especially at 2:08 to 3:12 ) can drive you nuts... it just skips the auditory canal and drills it's way directly into the brain of the listener and it makes you wanna have MORE of it. But then the 5 minutes are over and the song ends... so, the only choice you have is to play that track again. And again, and again.

So yeah. Great track! :)

Thanks, I was looking for something to pierce through the rest of the music. It's two different instruments on two different tracks, the first panned to the far left and the second panned to the far right. There's a slight delay and the one on the right is louder and clearer, I was trying to create an effect of motion. Some people thought it was annoying, but I'm glad you liked it; was added to really polish off the song and I think it's an important element.

Whoa, kick-ass song!

Sounds as if I was sitting in a club right now and the masses go wild on the dancefloor, while this song is played at top volume...

The bass is amazing, the mixing is done perfect, the song is quite diversyfied... this has everything that a good song needs. Very nice!

Thanks man. Have fun watching all the girls dance. Yes, we both know that's why you're there, lol.

A very quiet and pretty nice song. I like the almost dark atmosphere that this song creates.

The main melody is very catchy and it fits perfectly together with the chorus that can be heard in the background. It sounds almost heroic (and dark at the same time ;) ).
I like the image Coop had in mind, with a big sailing boat. I imagined the same when that chorus set in.

I'm also looking forward to review your 100th submission! ;)

WritersBlock responds:

Hey, thanks man! I get a huge buzz from making songs like this. I don't have the best equipment to work with to create an organic orchestra, but I like to think that I can manipulate what I have got to create something interesting.

[-Air and Rain-]

\m/

The beat is very nice and the main melody is very catchy.

I like the weather effects you added to the track very much. It creates a great atmosphere. The rolling thunder, the rain... and a quite happy melody to it.

Here's what comes to my mind when I listen to this song: I see myself sitting at my window, watching a thunderstorm outside. The rain washes away the heat that many people suffered under during the week.
A puff of cool wind blows into the room through the opened windows...

Nice song! :)

haha cool, its awesome that it creates that image for you. Thanks a bunch for the review!

[Fanatic Public Enemy (DjD)]

\m/

The track sounds quite good, but it's missing a part that really stands out here.

The parts you have here fit very well together and it's nice listening to this song. But I wish something more would happen here. A brigther main melody would be good. The whole track seems to be quite "dark" and deep, so a slightly higher main melody would sound quite well, I think.

Also, the ending is so abrupt, so it might be nice to loop this song, as Coop already suggested in his review.

Mad-Muppet responds:

Hey thanks for the review! I know what you're saying, and yeah, a main melody would be nice. Thanks for the review!

[Riding on ALL night]

\m/

It's an interesting track, but for me the experiment doesn't work out quite right.

It sounds as if you just put in all kind of intros of other songs into this track, and sometimes you let two different songs play at the same time, which sounds pretty messy.

Some of the parts are very worth listening to (like the part that starts at 1:24, but the drums seem to be off beat there), but you shouldn't throw them together with so many different parts, instead you should expand them and work them out to a whole single song. Would be much better, imo.
