"Oh this is Beautiful!"

submission: (WF1) Our Last hope preview

date: April 9, 2009

if you remember me at you know how much I love Orchestral pieces. This is easily one of my favs. The constand Ensemble lead really has a great feel to it. The War drums just add that final touch that gives the kick to the whole song. I'd say to develop on the instruments themselves, but I think the set you have right now is just perfect. not much I would want to change here.

You've really improved lately!

If you get a chance check out my preview for a song I'll have up in a few week. It will be my first lyrical song so I hope for the best in the recording process and need as much Musical criticism as possible, before I upload the final copy. It's in Midi, So don't bash the quality, just the music :P

Great song once again.

It takes a lot of skilll to be able to make a track almost purely based on drums with an underlying tone of actual instruments, which is perfect for many Sound tracks on TV. It's good to hear the low Piano over the drums as it does give a great feel of suspense. Each part is layered nicely, soprano plucks are quite a nice effect to it all. Good work!

Hop on facebook in a few and we can have a talk.

"How you doing!"

I loved the beginning, then at abour 1:14 it seemed like it just disappeared and went into somesort of house funk style music. And after that it felt as though you were just trying random stuff out.without putting much thought into it. You got some skills, try not to repeat the same thing for too long either though.

Maybe hit back a few of my songs, You faved me, maybe you'll find some other stuff you like?

I really like this nonetheless. 5'd and 9'd

Keep it up!

So I've never heard this song before, nor do I care, I don't do too many covers of songs myself, so I prefer not to be biased when I rate a song. I think the big thing that I ove about your songs (I've been scrolling trhough alot of them) Is how similiar in style we play piano wise, those power chords are the exact way I start out all my songs, and then I build the broken chords from there, you also seem to like the same styles oand genres of music as me. it all just comes to gether to complete this song to a taste that suits me, even though others may not lik e it, this song is alot of what I look for when I listen, because it reminds me of the originals I write. Thanks Realm

Shawn's Right, you really are on of the best live composers out there.

"Yes It's dance"

submission: Jumpin Space_[Mastered]

But that still doesn't mean it has to be so damn repititive. The intro just goes for like 30 seconds straight with nothing but the same melody and an instrument change after each measure repeat. then when thats done, you kill the melody and replace it with the supporting melody. A nice little effect I must admit, but after hearing that for the past 30 sconds it almost feels as the song is missing that core piece. It seems that when even YOU feel it's too repetitive, you add some little voice thing to it, energy, are you ready, bass etc etc. It's a great song, but I don't believe it's worthy of a best of the week. It's like, a simple melody with effects that seem to try and make the song. it's still better than 90% of the other music on NG so I'll give you an 8 and a 5. But unlike all the other Reviewers who are like, my ears like it so I do, Me wityh the ADD can only listen to a measure repete about 3 times before it becomes tiring.

Good job nonetheless.

Review one of mine if you get the chance, and feel free to Y'know, 0 bomb my poor ass soul, but if you do, review me as to why.

How similar our playing styles are. Quite a gift you got in voice talent compared to me though. I've loved alot of your music thus far, especially out of my league, you like, completely remade that song so much for me. Either way, The lord has given you quite a gift. This song is great. I can't belive you learned the whistle yourself, Your crazy good at this stuff. As for the contest aspect of it all, I find it's half sad half mellow. Amazing song nonetheless.

Maybe you should check out, Save me from the Unknown, by me. It kind of explains the similarities I hear in the piano.

As off as this soudns, I absoultuley love the first few measures, and then it hits epicness, although I don't feel the drums go with it after the snare comes in... And when the hell are we hanging out again! I'm totaly stealing FL from you and those speakers. But yes, the 58 second mark is also quite astounding. I really haven't been able to come up with new musics since I was with you guys, nothing seems to compare...lol. Either way I downloaded this, Keep it up, and We need to collab sometime again!

So, I was listening to this, and I noticed that you are using the Euro trance style (don't forget I got the same keyboard as you) on your keyboard Preset drums for Milkman Dan :P I still like the liveness of it, but man you can see the difference Cubase made on your music, It's quite insane. Great song nonetheless, a little off on the tempo, but nonetheles great work.

It almost seems as if this was down, like...live? No cubase? and horrible stereo effects on those drums? I love the sound of it all, it reminds me of my keyboard, and I'm not gonna lower a score just because Of the quality. But man,,,The power of those VSTs Compared to this, really gets me. Well, Can't wait to see the collab come out! Great work on this man!

I liked the dissonance in this, It made a good feel to it, the big thing that really got to me though, was the fact is when it seemed that a certain note should've gone high it would go low, and it did that throughout the WHOLE song. It's more a personal preference, but it's still a pretty sweet piece. Great work ocne again. Added to favs and added you as well.
