Calm, but with a pleasing beat
Kind of reminiscent of some of the synth melodies that appear in late '70s / early '80s films, like Wargames and TRON. I like the combination of this with the piano and can see that there is some real potential in here.
I think that this piece needs to be longer and could certainly be featured on many flash pieces, as it has a versatile range. Keep up this sort of work and there is some real potential being demonstrated here!

Vengaboyz?
Well, the start of this track sounds like something that the Vengaboyz would come up with - cheap, recycled beats that don't really get us anywhere. I would say that the track is less than one of their 90's pop 'wonders', because you don't have vocals. Then something amazing happened - you added a harpsichord and the dynamic flipped completely.
With this change, the whole track has built to something much better, but I would seriously implore you to do some work on the start of the track, since with the way it sounds at the start, you may lose listeners.
Consider adding vocals too, as this will add to the dynamics of the piece and allow you to get a better end product.

mehhh. i cant say i can tell any resemblance of my intro to what you describe. starting with some stupid epic intro would be 100x more trite, and i do plenty at the start that pulls out the semblance of effort and uniqueness you desire between the hat roll, the minimal aesthetic, and high plucks. maybe it's the claps that make it sound too disco-ish for you? though even if it is totally trite, my next move would be to lengthen this form of the intro even more so it could be integrated into a dj set easily. yeah.
as for vocals, i'm having trouble seeing how this is a very vocal friendly track since there's so much going on at all times. unless, of course, i were to convert this into a trite vengaboys song..... but ill think about it.
oh well. to each their own hahah
Some room for more improvement
Not a bad track, but you've got to concentrate on the ending here, I feel.
This dodgy sounding "revving" noise that you've got just sounds awful and out of context of the rest of the track. It doesn't matter if you keep doing things with it, because it was added later to the piece, it just sounds out of place all together.
The vocal samples were good, but with the revs finishing, then us being told that we have just witnessed the power of drum & Bass, I hardly feel that I have. Changing the position of the components around could certainly help you in this respect, as you will be able to show us where there is some power in the drums and the bass, as opposed to this melody, which seems too dominant at present.
[Review Request CLub]
so you're saying that i should make the drums and the bass louder? and what did you mean by rewing noise?
well i'll try to improve as best as i can, so you can feel the power of drum and bass :p....... for now i think i should remove the last voca,l and add only when the song is relly powerfull.
Quite repetitive
I'm sorry, but the bass beat got to me on this one - it didn't really seem to do too much. I liked the fact that you had a good melody and vocals blended in together, but the persistent bass beat throughout the song was a little over the top. I'd certainly suggest lots more variation there, to bring the track a much needed relief.
I like that you've used some sounds that could be akin to Spore - the one twinkle that you used sounded very much like a part of the game, but that's just an aside. Try giving us more vocal samples and throwing in more variation on the bass, to really improve this track.
[Review Request Club]
I've never played Spored, but this comment I have gotten many times. I'll see what I can do about the bass. I'll adjust the levels of the different leads and the bass to add variety.
Thank you.
Very good melodies
This sort of piece for me shows the wider shots of Avatar, if you will, when the helicopter is flying through the floating mountains. You've got a great work taking place with the woodwind (pan pipes?) leading the way, but a subtle beat lending a sense of direction to the imagery.
I can see this piece being one that gets reused for various projects - you've got a great ambience there that can be thrown into many situations, including the forest or jungle setting, but a very calm "out of body" experience during a meditation sequence would be usable as well.
I think that the middle phase of the track, you could have used the woodwind as a punctuation, as the beat and counter melody intermingled, the pipes could just play a note or two, just to remind people that it is still there.

Thanks for reviewing!
I love Avatar XD. Yeah they are Pan pipes. I spent a long time considering how I was going to extend the song after I finished the first part. I feel that I did a pretty good job keeping the song going. I'm not getting defensive, I just like the part the way it is right now. It is a good suggestion though.
Backmasking?
Hmm, a strange sounding piece and I can't quite place whether or not you're backmasking the beat there in places. It sounds like you've taken the main beat part and have reversed it, while adding the cymbals over the top to make it sound forward, which is very creepy if you have done it.
A shame that this is really all there is to the track, as it could do with a little more. Try giving us some more bass beats and throw in a melody solo for a laugh. With that sorted, perhaps you can get some vocals sorted and the piece can grow from there?
[Review Request Club]
Yeah, that's what I did for the fill with the symbols. Not really sure if creepy is good though? Anyway, yeah, I think I should have added a lot to this track, it was just sort of a quick thing. Thanks for the review.
Very nice sounding
Some good beats in this piece really do compliment this very enjoyable piece of music. I think that you've got a good sense of timing and the way that the piece powers itself onwards is very nice.
You've gone for some nice choices with the variation and have made it very good to listen to. With this in mind, the instrument selection has given a good timbre to it all, particularly the way that you used something sounding a little like a harpsicord.
I would work with the volumes of the piece, as some of them are very loud and some very soft. Balancing these out could really make for a very enjoyable piece to listen to.
[Review Request Club]
I know what you're getting at, but my music sounds very different depending on what you are listening to it on (headphones, speakers, car stereo, etc...), so I guess it varies with everyone. Granted, it still isn't balanced perfectly.
Thanks for your review!
Good variation
A nice short little piece, this one has a lot of good variation with a wide range of instruments and could still be used for a variety of fantasy themes, allowing flash authors great freedom in the choice of how they wish to build their scenes around this music.
Personally, I think some sort of pirate or fantasy setting, that shows a lot of chances to build suspense here. Perhaps the piece could be made a little longer, tailored to the needs of the particular artist, if they wanted something a little more suspenseful, for example, before you carry on with the mysterious overtones in the foreground over the top of the melody.

seeing as im a freethinker (aside from a freelancer) with emphasis on free.
Anyone can use my music (like the licence says, naturally) and do with it what they want aslong as they dont make that despicable thing called money with it. So anyone can make it longer or make it into an actual pirate theme :)
Ofcourse if people have specific requests ill make a whole new track for em, free of charge ofcourse bound by soley if i have the time for it.
Though each and every track i upload may be considered a full song or loop, many can also be considered as a demonstration of a theme. :)
Thanks for your loyal review(s) again man.
Looking forward for more.
Very nice
This is the sort of piece that really does help people to get along with the concept of walking through a desert. Perhaps at night, since it seems that you've gone for a twilight sound of music, which would be more logical - walking across a desert like that, as opposed to killing yourself when the sun is at its hottest.
There seems to be the vestiges of hope of salvation and potentially of sadness, but I think that hope springs eternal in this piece.
You've gone to town with the piano here, so perhaps a little more body from it could make it a better sounding piece, but keep at it and we'll see what sort of piece you could come up with. Possibly with the addition of drums, you could get more impact, but save it for the latter half.
[Review Request Club]
Hey there! Thanks so much for listening ,I appreciate it a lot, and thanks for the suggestions! Its cool to know what kind of feelings the piece can transmit, and the ways it can improve by adding so drums to get more impact.
A little repetitive
Despite the length of this track being quite epic and drawn out, it seems that you're still lacking in overall variation, which is slightly saddening. Taking some of the beats and melodies and messing with them would certainly help.
Do leave the guitar solo alone, as that is by far the best part of this track. It broke it up fine, but then it went back to the monotony and the random shouts that I can't understand. If people could hear what you're saying or shouting there, it might work a lot better.
Still, there's some really good work in there.
[Review Request Club]
Thank you for another constructive review!
The variation in this piece mostly consist of effects going in/out of the song. I believe that for a first song it ended pretty well with enough variations, even if "minimalistics"
We are working on adding more variety to our tracks, your suggestions are a great help to us.
Thanks again.
You know, I stopped shaving to think of something to write here. That worked out well.
