Very good loop

Nice and easy for me to get lost in this loop - excellent in the simplicity and a great setup. The beat is good and the melody just keep this piece moving forward at a lovely pace, that loops incessantly, without really getting boring.

I could certainly see this used as a menu tune for various racing games, as it puts out a nice ambience that people need for 'in your face' racing games and the like.

I'd have considered making it longer and maybe throwing a melody solo in there, which is different to the rest of the sound of the tune, but only slightly. This little extra variation will get you miles :)

Interesting vocals

Is this song totally vocal? Wow, that's awesome. You've got a great sounding piece made here, how long did it take you to put that together, as it sounds great.

Nice pace and a good accompaniment for the rest of the track, though it could use a little from instruments, I feel. When the 'boom' sound from the bass vocals comes through, perhaps it would be worth throwing the occasional drum beat in there, just to add a little impetus, as it's a little quiet at the moment. Messing with the recording volumes could change that slightly, which could prove beneficial.

Thank you thank you!

Very nice looping

I like this piece - it's not often that I hear well played classical on here and it does kind of put me in the mind of things like Peter & the Wolf. Are you considering adding any more to these style of piece and perhaps making a series of them?

A great piece that could be used for Legend of Zelda style games, with wide ranging ramifications - you're quite capable of putting this into places where you wouldn't expect to find it - from an apothecary's home to somewhere like a forest scene.

Perhaps a little work from the strings would be of great benefit here. I'd really love to hear what you've got planned for the future.

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm hoping to continue in this style, yes. It's definitely a matter of practice.

I'm still trying to finish out this piece. I hope it's going tplaces, though.

Good pacing

A nicely balanced track, this has a couple of good components blended together well, to produce a nice sound that is capable of getting people to move along to the beat - I'm moving along to this one as I type, so apologies for any typos :P

I love the way that you've added some unusual instruments to the mix - one sounds like a Chinese fiddle, but that could just be a trick of the ears to me. With how it all gets sorted out, there are some great little phases here that keep the listener highly interested and take the track to places that I never really though possible with this genre. Perhaps the only way forward for you are vocals?

Bracksta responds:

thanks for the great review :D! I am glad that you enjoyed the piece. I experimented with vocals not to long ago, but i couldn't find any to put in this track.
i wish i had my own recording station so i could make the vocals myself instead of using royalty free samples :(

Serenely mythical

I love this piece, the peaceful sounds, the tranquillity of the effects that you've blended into it, in order to keep it working as a great song, that just thrills and allows the listener to drift away softly.

I can see this piece of ambience having a great many uses - kind of like during the one forest scene in Final Fantasy X, where there are crystals in the forest, that make bridges for the group to walk across - it's very enjoyable and keeps the sound and whatever video wishes to be used working together nicely. I would be really interested to see what interpretation people use for this piece, as it's very versatile.

More like easy listening

Firstly, I don't agree that this is heavy metal at all. In fact, I wouldn't even go as far as suggesting that it was Metal, to be honest.

The guitar is too nice and light to be Metal and the drums don't really reflect anything that would sound like this genre, with the exception of a little thrash effort in the middle. Perhaps the whole piece needs to be re-evaluated.

The piano solo was more like a bridge and completely out of keeping with the tune itself. Chalk and cheese starts to ring a bell when that particular bridge came across.

Step responds:

Alright, I guess this'd do better in general rock or something. Well, anyway, thanks for the review :).

Quite a crossing

It sounds like a migration, rather than a march, which the title led me to believe. Are you seriously taking a whole city across the mountains?

Perhaps a little too epic this time, you might need to tone it down a little, so that it sounds like a route march, or change the title, so that it reflects something like a few people flying over mountaintops on the back of a dragon, for example.

Perhaps a few more drum beats, steadily through the tune, just to symbolise something like a beating of wings? That would be a nice touch, if that was what you were after...

A battle is coming

And so, the soldiers take up their arms and prepare for a battle to end all battles, making sure that their equipment is ready for purpose and forming themselves up ready for their foes to come forth.

Perhaps it could be a parade in the middle, but when it goes past the nice happy middle, it is tinged with something foreboding to come. Perhaps this is the last chance that families get to say goodbye to their loved ones?

I like the way that you've given a pretty broad scope for how things will pan out with this piece, given that there are two rather different themes to this tune, as described above. I think that you've thought it through nicely and have worked well with making the drums have a marching band sound to them. Perhaps more work on the snares though, to keep it sounding like a marcher, rather than something played by a studio band. They're supposed to be sharper than that and have an instant 'punch' noise as they are struck, it's unmistakeable.

A little repetitive

I think there's a few issues with high end static on the sounds of the piano at the end, which is a shame, since you've come up with a decent sounding piece of music, sos tick to it and keep working on your stuff here.

With the way that you get the synths and the other keyboard instrument (horn) to duel one another, one of them plays the notes that were the same as it had just played. It sounds wrong, so having them play different notes would be a great boon to the piece, as otherwise it just sounds too 'samey' and takes away from your good work with the rest of the track.

Echo responds:

yeah, i know bout the piano. its not really such a good sample. I've downloaded a couple of new ones, hopefully those'll work better.

I agree with you bout the same melody and i suppose that i could change what they did a bit. I'll try to include it in the revised version [God that's a lot of stuff to include :)]

Anyway, tks for the review...

WipeOut!

This tune just seems to fit the profile of the zero-g racing game, WipeOut so well, that I'm seriously considering digging out my copy of it to have a quick blast :P

Great pace and a lovely beat that carries the tune on through a series of phases, with some nice sounding instruments to boot. Nothing seems overly dominant and ever instrument that you've thrown in there seems to have had a great chance to shine, which is important.

I'd just suggest that when you put that solo in there that with the keyboards coming along and playing a fast piece of looped music, you give it something a little more 'up there' and give the instrument a real chance to come through as the alternative driving force, as a piano can be :)

YUP YUP YUP, sorry i got so many reviews... Thanks

Yes to everything, thanks a bunch!

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