I like.

No comments, but it's good. Keep this stuff comin' to the Newgrounds people :)

NemesisTheory responds:

Glad you dig it :3

And I shall!

Incredible Worksmanship!

Sounds like what it's supposed to (a song from a video game, duh! :p), and doesn't sound half bad doing it. 4'd, sorry 'bout the shortness.

CyrusOfNaias responds:

X3 Thanks no prob just having a review is worth it. Critiques is necessary :3

Soundin' good!

My only complaint is that the melody that comes in around 0:35 kind of sounds like it's going somewhere, but it just sorta stays stagnant throughout the whole song. Maybe mix it up a bit, too repetetive. Other than that, not bad. 4'd and DL'd.

Great song!

As the summary says, it's good! 5'd and DL'd :)

I rather like it.

Seems like a grand old song to me. Nice and relaxed, melancholy but not sad. It's nearly as backgroundish and relaxing as ambient, but a lot more noticeable and in your face at the same time. A wonderful blending of genres.

Very nice :D

All review'd out at the moment, so I'll keep it short.

The intro is pretty good, not too repetetive, plus it just sounds good. Around 45, though, I don't really like that sound you got going there. It's just too sour for my taste.

The end part of the song is a bit too repetetive, too. Other than that, it's pretty good. I gave it a DL ;)

thx for the review and the DL !

*sigh*

This is one of those songs I really want to write a full review for, but I haven't the TIME! Well, in case I run out of time and have to hit submit and cut myself short, let me bottom line it:

THIS SONG FUCKING ROCKS OUT LOUD.

Ahem, thanks for that. Bear with me now...

Intro (0:00-0:25) - This part of the song just sets everything up so perfectly. It starts out classic trance, slow, peaceful, blended. Then out of nowhere this crazy bouncing synth kicks in, sounding kind of like a fast drumbeat, but electronic and ultra bouncey (not like the song writer, like the effect). It just goes so fast and is so unexpected, yet keeps the original intro melody in the background (so it really becomes the harmony, which only happens about 50% of the time), such that the entire segment is absolutely flawless. Except maybe better quality, but you can't help that. 3/3.

Body Riff [first half of body] (0:25-1:00) - This part is insanity. The bass beat kicks in, and it keeps getting faster and crazier, and higher pitched, until the action peaks a crescendo and begins to settle back down into the harmony, which turns back into the melody, ending the segment. Very feverish, very fast, very nice. 1/1.

Revert to Intro [second half of body] (1:00-2:20) - This reversion is very typical of trance and techno style music, so by no means is it bad, in fact, I think it gives the listener a much needed break to chill from that crazy intro and the opening riff of fast pacedness. It makes a few indications of the crazy beat in the background, but it has more of a soothing factor to it. This is the section of the song that nets it the trance genre, in my opinion. It does a very nice job of it, too, at that. Not too repetetive, which is the downfall of most trance music, but instead really just dips down and picks back up with the denouement. 2/2.

Denouement (2:20-3:19) - This ending is really about as great as the body riff, it kicks the action back up for one last burst of energy before the song ends. Once I heard that bouncing synth kick back in I knew it was climaxing the entire song. After one last intense wave of crazy fast beats and ever-higher pitched notes, the song begins to wind back down at 2:46 with a well-placed cymbal crash (not too loud, either, the main drawback of cymbals :D). The very end of the song is a traditional fadeout of the main beat until only the intro melody (which was harmony for about half the song) remains until one well-placed note ends the whole bonanza of sound. 3/3.

The "do I like it" category - HELL YES I LIKE IT! 1/1.

10/10. This is a perfect score. The song is fast, slow, energetic, relaxed, and absolutely incredible. I have no actual advice to give you on what to fix, because absolutely nothing needs fixing.

I demand a sequel.

i am NOT responding with anything CLOSE to that many words. holy crap. thanks! awesome review!!!!

Now here we go!

This has quite a bit more energy in it than the previous song I reviewed, and thus I like it better personally :)

However, this is a review, not an opinion, therefore I must provide constructive advice, as well!

The main problem I found is that the central theme seems really... whacked up. There doesn't really seem to be much of a central theme, the melody wanders all over and back, but the only centralized thing to the whole song is it's just chilled out. Perhaps give it a stronger core? Ah well, I'm no expert at ambient, anyway ><

Does decent yet again, a four once more.

Well!

You wanted reviews, here we go. This one won't be very in depth, as I lack the time and the necessary motivation at the moment, but I will begin with a general statement: this is the maximum level of ambience I can personally get behind and not be bored to death. Anything any less energetic (unless it's something really different and non-generic) generally just puts me off. That being said, your genre is treading a fine line for me, and it will be once in a blue moon I will personally find one of your tracks truly amazing. Give it a bit more oomph, though, and I think you'll find you may reach a slightly wider audience while still remaining ambient...

ANYWAY, I like all the stereo stuff you threw in here. I recently acquired VERY nice headphones (Bose Quiet Comfort 2s) and they're really paying off. I can get a real feel of the environment this is depicting (some crazy alien landscape, it seems, that seems like something out of the future area of Crono Trigger, or at least that's how I picture it ;D), and that's where this song really succeeds. Parts a bit too ambient, and like the reviewer before me, I would really like to see a bit more speed (perhaps only in some parts) to liven this up a tad. Not much, but a tiny bit. Everything sounds really out of this world (literally :O), so that's another bit of points.

Personally I think this song is average for listening to, but it achieves its objectives pretty well. A slightly above average 4 from me.

Sounds good.

Got a great fast pace :)
