[-House Rhythm-]

Awesome puzzle game song

Remember the puzzle game music thread a couple of days ago, well my brother petwoip (he made the thread) and I decided that your song would fit quite well in our game - and yeah, even better than those multi-thousand downloaded songs you listed. You have a great song here, the clarity is especially amazing! I've had the chance to browse through your other songs too and most of them sound really cool. In fact, I've even downloaded some of them, which I don't do often.

Our game should be finished before September, and I promise you it will be good. In the meantime, maybe you can check out some of my songs.

Gloudas responds:

cool, its awesome to hear you guys liked it so much! Now I'm really excited for your game!
Thanks for reviewing :D

[I'd Rather Be Flying (RM)]

This song makes me feel happy

I know I've already reviewed the first "I'd Rather Be Flying", but I must say that this is better for a combination of small reasons. Overall the sound feels much fuller than the first (it fills my whole speaker spectrum). This probably has to do with different pads and background synths, and maybe even the drums. The improved sound quality and mastering makes it a more enriched listening experience.

Now, I once said that I'd use your song Call_me in a flash game, but I'm probably not going to. However, I think this would fit in my newest game which should be done by the time school comes around. By the way, I know what its like to lose years of songs because of a hard drive crash. It happened to me about 2 years ago and the whole thing made me break away from my old account sebby_man.

And one last thing, I'd appreciate it if you checked out my song Ethnic Chill or my newest one, Mansion.

Turning-Japanese responds:

The crash definitely sucked bigtime, but I've recovered quite a bit of what I once had; I was lucky enough to have a lot of it backed up. Thanks for cranking the tunes and comparing this with the old version - I wasn't getting a lot of feedback.

Good luck with the game making, and I'll totally check out your song.

Actually pretty good!

At first I was a bit afraid that this song wouldn't turn out that great because of the somewhat slow beginning. Yet I listened on and enjoyed it, especially the chorus. The transition instrument wasn't a great choice and other parts of the song were shaky, but good stuff overall. Oh yeah, and its nice to here that you use Reason (I heard it in the One2 drums).

Check out my newest song too.

flashmac responds:

Thanks for the great review. I got a lot of tips and yes those are the One2 drums, good ear! I'll check out your track.

[The unGovernment (Demo)]

Pretty good

I forgot to mention this in your other song but it applies here - you NEED to find stronger drums, especially the kick. Bass was a bit too loud, try to tone that down. I did like the feel of the song though. I really think you have lots of potential but somewhat weak instruments are getting in your way.

Oh, and is this song supposed to have some anarchist message or something?? Just wondering.

hardcoresum41fan responds:

yea, its supposed to have a governmental message

in the beginning its soft words spoken by the gov't that indicate bad things to happen; then the reality is the hardness of the guitar after the pause

and the retarded ending shows future demise and how we arent doing anything to stop a bad future from comming

[Intro to Senik (demo)]

Pretty good job

I liked it. The guitar was good, but it would be even better if you made the guitar play a wider range of notes rather than a single note per measure. A nice powerful snare drum would have been a good accompaniment as well.

Another thing, I don't really see this as a "soldier's song". In my opinion, its too happy, where in a soldier song it would be more dark and brooding. But hey, it seems like you have a good start. After all, this is just a demo. Just look for more variation in your final product.

Oh yeah, and check out my newest song "Futureform".

[Electronic Symphony Remixed]

Nothing special

I don't know about anyone else, but this song sounds just too similar to other trance melodies. I don't know how many times I've heard the same formula being used over and over again.

Also, I have some other problems. First, with the overpowering kick and then the tempo shift that sometimes happens during transitions. Sometimes parts of your song seem disoriented as well.

I mean, overused trance melodies with ok mastering - what's so great about this???

[Digital Starlight]

So-so

Sorry but I got quite bored listening to this. You should try to change around the melody and effects you use. Basically, you have a simple melody which you then accompany with a pretty cool bass, and then ok drums. The song isn't as repetitive as others that I've heard, but its lacking some effort.

Jephz responds:

alright, I'll try to do better next time.

[Basshunter Remake <HypE>]

Derivitive, but OK

Sounds like all other trance out there. I was expecting something big to buildup after your snare drum roll, but nothing happened. I agree with your comments, some new samples would be nice. In fact, I'm sure if you had good instruments it would sound so much better. Another thing, the melody pretty much sounds like all other trance out there. Try doing something unique, you obviously have some melodic skills.

[Underneath an acid Pizza (DjD)]

Decent

I did like the bass and drums, but the synths were pretty boring and repetitive. I think you could have made it more upbeat because at times it seemed to drag on and just sound unmelodious. But good job for the first time using Reason, I know that my first song on Reason 3.0 wasn't great. Reason 4.0 is a great program, and with practice you should get better.
And also, check out my newest song Futureform if you have time.

Mad-Muppet responds:

Thanks for your review! I can see what you mean, and yes, the synths weren't the most exciting ones ever... But i think i've got the hang of Reason 4 now, so expect better stuff later :P
I'll check dat song out too :D

[Move On*]

Nice Jazz, but could use some work

I really liked the piano, though I did hear some distortion especially when more than one note was playing at a time. For that you caught my attention from the beginning. Normally I don't like jazz but the melody really evoked some emotions (what they are i don't know). The drums were good as well. But I had some problems with the flute 3:34 on because it clashed with the piano. A little more variation with the main melody would have been nice as well.

Good job - and you use Reason, right? The flute sounds like one in Reason

Check out my newest song too.

Jurian responds:

Thanks, but it was in Fl, i'll check your stuff out.
