Contrasting

Hmm, with the way that this piece starts off really quietly, then launches into a loud and proud bass beat, before bringing in the other aspects, you've clearly thought about how tow aspects of a tune really fit together and deliver a quite creative punch.

Perhaps I'd have faded in the main beat sooner, to get the melody in there as well sooner, but other than that, this tune is great. Would it use vocals? No, they could completely ruin the ambience of it. In the present form, it doesn't loop well at all, which is the major stumbling block, so I'd perhaps consider messing with the blend, not cutting the track out for 8 seconds at the end, even finishing the piece off with something that calms down to sound like the intro, so they could blend together in a loop, for example.

Not much wrong with the piece though, keep up the good work.

Thanks a lot for the review! :)

The song is not intended to loop

Good work

Very good use of the vocals and the overall blend, putting together a fine piece by all accounts. I feel that this almost sounds like a professional piece that makes the charts, such is the quality here.

Granted, I'm not over-fussed with the way that things build up and some of the bridging techniques you use between verses - the stuttering part of those notes is the bit that really grinds against me for some reason. However, the overall effect of blending a deep and imposing backing, with a light and airy melody and some very enchanting vocals all seems to come together nicely.

I'd like to see what the lyrics were, as you've got a great sound from this altogether and for me, sometimes being able to understand the lyrics being sung is a great addition, particularly if it is a song such as this.

Here's the lyrics:

Intro:

Kitten heels, lingerie,
pantyhose, foreplay.
Legs up, on the bar,
in the back of your car.
Latex, champagne,
bubble bath, whipped cream.
Cherry pop tag team.
Can you make me scream?

Bridge 1:

I wanna do some dirty things to you tonight.
I wanna fight, all through the night. Night. Night.

Chorus 1:

I am no angel,
I like it when you do that stuff to me.
I am no angel,
I like it when you talk talk,
dirty when you talk talk.

Bridge 2:

Dirty talk.
Dirty talk.

Blindfold, feather bed,
tickle me, slippery.
G spot, nasty pose,
in a video.
Love machine, by myself,
climax, hot wax.
S&M, on the floor, i like it hardcore.

Verse 1:

I wanna.
Do some.
Dirty.
Things to you tonight.
(Voice buildup)

Chorus 2: (x2)

I am no angel,
I like it when you do that stuff to me.
I am no angel,
I like it when you talk talk,
dirty when you talk talk.

Verse 2:

Can you go down?
Are you up for it?
Baby?
Can you turn me out?
Are you up for it?

Talk to me.
Talk to me.
Talk dirty to me.
Talk dirty to me.
Wont you talk to me?
Talk to me.
Talk dirty to me
Talk dirty to me.
To me.

Chorus 3 (x2) / Outro:

I am no angel,
I like it when you do that stuff to me.
I am no angel,
I like it when you talk talk,
dirty when you talk talk.

Now that you have those, I want to thank you so much for talking the time to listen to my track :) These vocals are probably one of the best I've come across, and I had to make something with them. I'm glad this track turned out this good.

About the bridges, I'm not exactly the best at them. I often find it hard coming up with something to plug in between verses and choruses, and usually what I plug in either doesn't sound good, is too simple, or a combination. About the stuttering notes, (plucks), those are often found in trance tracks so I figured I'd implement them in a way I thought sounded decent. I love the sound of them if they're used correctly, so I had to try. Cmon :)

About the melody, I'm particularly very proud of it. I think it's probably the first melody I've been able to fully come up with myself that actually sounds GOOD! :D I mean, I like it, my friends like it, and the people that downloaded must like it, so it must be good, right? :D I'm glad you like it as well :)

And lastly, as for it sounding professional, that's truly what I've been striving to achieve with my music. I figure that if my tracks sound somewhat professional, it will increase my chances at getting noticed somewhere and not looked at as some kid trying to write music but can't, you know? It's hard to get people to take you seriously out there, but I'm gonna keep on going.

Again, thank you for the review, it really means a lot :)

Interesting messing

I'm not sure if it's my type of music, but messing with the sounds that you've got with the piece, from choosing to mess around as a DJ would, plus giving a nice piece of melody, that really helps to assist the flow between the other parts, where you "experiment".

Listening to the sounds that you've made, it almost sounds a little like a part of the escape music from Assassin's creed, when you're trying tog et away after making a high profile assassination, so if that's the thing you're after, you've gone to the right place.

There is certainly a degree of mystique in the piece, as it runs back and forth with the more traditional sound in the intro and the gradually more futuristic, when you alter the sounds. I'd love to see what sort of game this gets added onto, because you've intrigued me. Get your friends together and make an advert with this piece on it!

Tune of two halves...

The intro and the buildup is fantastic. Marvellous buildup, beat, rhythm and form, which shapes the tune well. I could consider a futuristic driving game making use of this sort of track (WipEout, for example.

Then around the minute marker, everything seems to get overcrowded and you lose me - the melody gets a counter to it and you put in the vocal samples, which seem to sing against the grain of the established tune, which harms, rather than helps, if you follow my meaning. Perhaps if you had the vocals in the track's quieter sections, like you did at the end, it would help? I think those sounded much better, though I still couldn't understand what was being said / sung, but that's fine if it embodies the feel of the piece.

Certainly one that I'd like to see longer (especially the intro), though without the work on the counter and crowding the sound, you're going to end up with a longer mess, I'm afraid.

Valtanen responds:

Nice to know you're really helping me out, Coop and Emergency :)

It's the meaning of the vocals, that you don't understand what he says. It's not me who sings it. I just messed a little with a well known song's vocals.. :D
What the hell I just tell you now.. It's Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day singing Basket Case. :D

And my name comes from Green Day, if you haven't noticed it yet.

MAXIMUS, you son of a b****, in 1:00 ruining my work. :/

Nice that this made you feel futuristic. :)

I just remove the counter and put that vocal in quieter places with a breakdown with a low frequency and rising with the help of an automation clip. :o And make my own combinations of synths and sounds. AND of course add variation to the drums. That doesn't sound so bad. :S

Oh and of course melody changes as well.

But I'm afraid I may have to pass at this moment, maybe I come back to this song in the near future, but not now.. :)

Not a abad start

Yes, it needs some work to make the piece complete, because at the moment, it's a crescendo loop, which gradually build up to something more complex with this same sound. Little in the way of variation has been added, though the counter melody that built in and got stripped out at the end certainly needs to be developed and taken further forward.

As far as Techno goes, you end up with a piece that doesn't sound specific to the genre, because it doesn't drive the piece forward as I were expecting something with more of a pounding bassline and up-tempo melody. Still, it's nice to break the mould every now and again, I suppose.

If you're after tips for finishing, I'd say give the counter melody a solo and extend the piece possibly in the region of the 4 minute marker, see what you can come up with around those guidelines.

Very pleasing

A lovely piece on the piano, complimented beautifully by the backing instrumentations of the orchestra. Did you use the full selection of the orchestra, or just a few choice instruments? A full orchestra would sound much better, if you could arrange that, despite it being a very laborious task, if this is worked or mastered on a computer.

Certainly something that I could see used as an opening for a "sword and sandals" piece, be it cartoon, game, or even real life film. What I'd suggest that you do is develop it for another minute or two, especially as it is classical, which can usually stretch to 6 or seven minutes, possibly even longer.

Given that the buildup sounds quite epic, I'd be tempted to have something a little more mellow, just to temper the piece, before coming back with another salvo, which could knock people's socks off.

Draw - neither was good enough to win

Right, summing up the two artists rapping in this battle, Mao has a few bits which made me cringe, like the laughing after the first verse and then in the third verse, he doesn't seem to know how to get the rhythm to his lines while the beat goes on. I love the irony of calling his opponent a Hip-Hop Flop, as he makes a complete hash of the rap.

ER just seems to swear for a reaction - too much detracts from the lyrical genius that this could be. I'm not really well versed on the etiquette for this sort of thing, but the fact that his tone is more abusive than his opponents just seems to rub me up the wrong way.

Right, the beat was a little too simple - there's more complex rhythms out there that really compliment the rap, without testing the rappers abilities too much, thus letting people concentrate on the lyrics.

You could have given us a transcript of this, as I'd have been able to orientate myself with the piece a little more.

thanks for the detailed review

simple formula, goto10

Well, what can you say about a "rinse & repeat" formula, that gets a little additional dash each time? It's simple and effective, as I feel that there's a good offering of components across the board, showing us exactly what I can see within the genre.

The methodical progression and almost rhythmical repetition is symbolic of Industrial music, but in a different way to the "furnaces and hammers" that I'm used to for the genre. This takes on a flavour of robotics and possibly assembly lines, which make electronic goods and we see as very white buildings, hermetically sealed from contaminants and producing the latest gizmo for the consumer market.

The metaphor expands, allowing for the thing to be assembled from its components and slowly taking shape. The basic frame of the melody and beat is added to gradually and it becomes more complex than the sum of the component parts, giving us a very pleasing piece, which I'm not sure it was what you were after, but a nice effect, nonetheless.

If anyone reads this and wants to, make a flash of this. Who knows, it could be P-Bot we are building :P

Morph94 responds:

Hey, glad it worked for ya. Good vision, too. Not sure there's going to be a flash artist that takes interest in my work, but a guy can always dream. :D

Nice flow

I like the way that this piece sounds - calm and collected, but without being over the top - I'm not sure about the choice of genre though, but overall, this piece has a lot of potential.

If we consider the symbolism, it's almost a cyberpunk setting, with a rainy city and subterfuge of some kind going on, where everyone is trying not to be seen, while doing one thing and another to either each other or the system. Then the woodwinds came in and frankly took that illusion away from me.

Perhaps the cyberpunk is "punking" feudal Japan or some other timescale around then, when that sort of sound would have been more common? Don't get me wrong, this piece is fantastic, I'm just trying to work out the fantasy picture that is being painted here, as a picture is worth a thousand words and this piece of music paints a picture, but one that it out of focus for me...

WizMystery responds:

One look at the "Hard Mix" and you'd know right away it was somewhat industrial - I removed ear rape that was frankly meant to sound like machinized tigers and the like. I think the removal of that removed quite a lot of the picture as well, unfortunately. I'll have to change things around the next time I do a soft/hard split, I guess.

Thanks for the review!

Sounds worthy of the game

I like the piece overall and I feel that the impression that it gives is solid, where it could be used for a racing game, particularly along long, winding Japanese highways, where there is no traffic and six lanes to weave across, as you push your car to and beyond the limits.

The sound that you produce has a vague "oriental" feel to it, though I wouldn't be able to swear exactly why, so subtle is the blend of styles here. It's almost like you have mixed in some oriental instruments as well as the more modern stuff.

With the way that everything plays through the piece, it puts a nice impression in there, with a buildup and then some sort of Mortal Kombat style effects, which I wasn't over impressed with - I was expecting someone to yell "MORTAL KOMBAT!" in the background, if I am being honest, which never helps a racing game out. Sorry, the theme of the piece seems to have been well set.

Thanks for reviewing!

You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
