[~Terrestrial~ FULL]

Nicely formed

Well balanced, nicely put together and a good all round performance. I think this worked quite well with the NG tank visualisation, but that's just me.

Paints a nice picture of the scenery around an almost virgin planet, perhaps with some primitive villages, as we fly past on some sort of observation mission, before returning to base to report our findings.

The high pitched synthesised sounds are a little out of place for my liking - not really 'terrestrial' music in my opinion, more of a spacey thing to me.

[Acid JazzleFunk]

Nice, but

The real problem I ahve with this song is that the melody didn't keep time with the beat. It made it sound quite messy in places, as the fluctuations in the melody were sporadic and quite abstract.

If you'd performed the melody as a piece without the backing track, it would be great as a random abstract piece. Mixed together, it just sounds like it's been thrown together, while in places, it is quite a nice form of music.

[Green, Piano(NB Remastered)]

Soothing

This is such a nice song, that I'd decided to add it to my list of favourites. It's just the sort of tune I need to put a smile on my face and it certainly helps me to unwind... that is until I switch back to reality and play some hard rock, while playing my games :P

Quite mellow and well mixed, with the strings in the background, and the subtle backing of the percussion. I'm running out of superlatives to try and describe this piece. A good length piece, with the artist's fingers taking a more than generous walk over the keys in a bit of free-form at the end. Looped round nicely.

1 change I'd make - about three quarters of the way through, why don't you stop the background music and focus the attention on the piano. A solo would blow the mind and be a truly amazing addition.

Jurian responds:

For me it feels like piano stuff with stuff around it so, maybe that's because I play piano, I understand what you mean, but yeah:p never thought about it like that.

[In teh Dungeon]

Very 8-Bit

Reminds me of retro games which are based in dungeons. I quite like it - the sounds are meant to be creepy, even if they aren't as subtle as is needed for that to sound perfect.

If you're going to go slightly further and make an ambient loop, you need to make it about another 3-4 minutes long, make it more suspenseful and possibly add something like rolling thunder, for the classic horror gambit :P

[Detonator]

I'm gonna blow!

The tune starts off quietly, which is a good way to go, but surely with a title like Detanator, you're going to finish with a massive crescendo? That's what I was expecting, but you left me to hang :(

Anyway, you've created a nice piece here, with the tune putting me in the mind of some guy planting a bomb and progressing on to try and blow things up.

This says to me that he failed, as it didn't go bang in the end.

FullyClothedMike responds:

You know what?
You're right.
It DOES need a massive bang to round this off.
I'm gonna work on the ending of this, and I'm gonna make it explode!
Thanks for the suggestion.

[UNCE]

UNCE?

What does that mean? It sounds more like 'Unts', as in Cunts. Maybe that's just me.

A nice beat, but you really need to give us more than one word for the song - gets too repetitive for my liking, even if you repeat it thousands of times.

Still, if it worked for Fatboy Slim, it can probably work for you - he just came up with more imaginative titles though :P

[Push the button]

What's going to happen if I do?

I quite like the Stephen Hawking remix that you've done here with the computer voice. It's quite creepy and this piece certainly wouldn't be out of place in a nightclub.

Maybe throw in some long low notes, just to give it more of a club feel, but other than that, it's a good tune.

[Green, piano]

Jazz Piano?

Played yourself, or made through a computer program?

I like it, it's got a good sound and is quite an uplifting track. Kind of the song you need if you've had a hard day at work and things haven't gone as if you've planned them out.

Maybe stick a choir in the background with the strings and have them singing some sort of "Aah" to go along with the tune.

Jurian responds:

Played all myself, as all of my songs, except the dance stuff.

[*Stay*]

Quite upbeat

I can almost get down and groove to this... if it wasn't for my bad back, that is.

Other than it being too short, there isn't really much wrong with this track. You could do with making it into a loop, because when you fade the music out, the final beat stay around, which seems wrong in my ears.

[The Reno- [A Heros End]]

Touching

I think that the strings were a nice piece, but I really think that you went over the top with the bell tolling in the background. I think that the piece itself is looking to be two separate pieces, with the death and the second peice encompassing the funeral.

Maybe release them as two separate pieces, then you could link them together in the comments or something similar.

TheReno responds:

So you want me to make a funeral piece and a death piece? No, it wouldnt work out right like you think it would. That and somebody woul come along and be like "Why dont you put the two together". xD Thanks for the idea though.
