Nice use of Sax
This is a well performed piece, with a good piano track, well complimented by the use of the Saxophone.
I think it ends rather abruptly and to be honest, you could use some percussion to round the whole piece off nicely.
The length was good and all together it sounded good, but not brilliant.

Thanks for the review. I wasn't sure how to put percussion in this, so I usually leave that sort of thing alone. Cheers, the comments have been noted.
Is Toxic a style?
I'm just asking because I've never heard of it before... perhaps I'm getting old :$
Anyway, is the snake reference in connection with the animal or the computer game? It could be either way - the computer game version being a nice backing tune for said game, I'm sure.
I'm not entirely sure by how the song ends with the massive Bass Crescendo, as the bass tends really to drown out the rest of the tune, sadly. Working on toning down the bass might help, unless you tried to tone up the rest of the song, to compensate, that is.

No, Toxic isn't a style ;P The snake was originally referenced in connection with the animal, but maybe it fits in the comuter game ;) Thanks for your review!
Good tune
This tune is certainly a well rounded tune. It's got a few parts that I don't neccesarily agree with, but you can't please everyone. I'd have made it into a proper loop for one, so you can just leave it to run as the background track for a game, as it's just that quality that you're after - not too repetitive, but not so changing that it's going to distract you easily.
I'd add a part in the middle where the rest of the tune stopped and went on a long solo with the deep bass, just to detract from the strings. You've got a few lines of this bass alone, but it could be so much more.

i dont think ill make it loopable--if someone wants that they can jst pm me--but i do see where ur coming from with the bass solo--i just imagined a tune for that and it seemed so badass in my mind!! if i come back to this ill definately consider ur advice, thanx for the constructive rev :)
Nice, but a little short.
A decent start to your Trance journey.
The beat is good and the addition of various counter-beats works quite well. I liked the fade out in the middle, as it brought everything back down to earth before starting with the second wave of sonic assault :P
It loops quite well, which does detract slightly from the fact that it is an overall quite short piece.

a decent start..
sound good...
I think you are right
thanx
Interesting
This song is off the wall, but it certainly has it's own wide range of elements. It sounds great as an 8-bit piece until you get as far as the vocal sampling.
After that, it gets a little weird, so we have to maybe stop and look at the positive points of the previous. The samples were good, but I'm just not entirely sure that they fit in this particular piece, unless you're gunning for the obscure end of the market.
I'd add to the length of the 8-bit sounding part, allowing you to expand upon it, adding more variation and getting it sorted towards a piece that could be used as a near-endless loop in a video game.

sorry, but i am definately going for obscure in this song
what, you couldnt imagine those vocals playing over and over in a video game?
So it does not loop...
An interesting piece, which thankfully I haven't had to review when I've been around at my girlfriend's
The extremes of the sides of this metaphorical coin aren't apparent here. I would not have guessed that you were aiming for Purgatory, Heaven and Hell with this piece at all. Heaven doesn't sound happy enough, and Hell does not sound as if it is that bad... Might have to take a holiday there next year.
As things go, I would consider adding more harps and woodwind to the ballad of Heaven and much more bass and percussion to Hell - these tend to signify strongly the divide.

Well, I was going for a more passive feel to it. Not strong, just mellow. Thats why its not all that strong.
Hypnotic
A beautiful piece, very much like what you would get in a relaxation or meditation mix. I can see the connection to the title and the story; the slight mournfulness at the start, tentativeness and growing energy as things progress, and later, the high strings putting me in mind of dancing waves, the harp is like the sunlight on the water, while the low strings remind me of the sweeping vastness of the ocean. Majestic.
The only point I can think of in terms of possible future improvement, is that if this (or indeed, any future piece in this style) were to be used in meditation or relaxation, for which it seems so well fitted, then it could be longer. Many relaxation or meditation pieces that I have come across, even old classical ones that are used for that purpose, can be anything from 4 minutes to 20 minutes long. At least on Newgrounds, having it on a loop helps to remedy that somewhat. ;)
Lovely.

cheers for the review :D I'm glad you like this one and I like your imagery that ties along with the track and story. I completely agree with you that relaxtion pieces could be longer- one of my main struggles is length. I try to make my stuff adequately lengthy and put out my ideas thoroughly without trying to ruin the feel of the track, and try not to stray into two many different themes. So I'll continue to work on that.
Thanks for the 9 and another good review Coop!
A little short
This sounds like a nicely developed introduction to a jazz track. I want to see it taken about another 2 minutes, to see where the instruments go. The addition of a piano would be nice, as it always helps to give the piece something when Jazz is involved - gives you options with a solo as well.
Surprisingly, as the track contains maybe 2 loops, it doesn't loop all that well, which surprised me. Have a listen to the last few seconds and you notice the gap, so a spot of work to conceal that would be nice.

Cheers. I'll change it to a song lol
Good sound
Space travel? That's the main image I get... either that or a game of WipeOut, as that's the sort of fast paced game that this needs to be a part of. It practically yearns to be there.
The build up of this track is short and very effective, with the way that the extra instruments get added almost one after the other. I liked the way that you broke that chain by effectively crashing the tune after the second cycle.
As an improvement, I'd consider knocking off the beat for a cycle and having the synth play around for a little, before getting reigned back in by the beat.
[Review Request Club]
Yes, space travel ;) Thanks for coming with suggestions!
Nice beat
I'm not so sure aboput the vocal sampling on this track, but the beat and the melody you've got going with this track are the definate best parts of this track.
Why would a weighted companion cube ever threaten to stab me?!
The only thing about the beat is that it's a little repetitive and if you added more variation, you could alter it up, not just by changing the sounds of the tune, but you could add another vocal sample "that does not mean you should not be nice to your companion cube", for example.

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