[(FMC) -=Edge of the Unive]

Lovin' it!

Well, this piece immediately put me in mind of the Futurama episode where they flew to the edge of the universe and looked through a telescope into the parallel universe. I can imagine a space ship flying through the emptiness of space towards the final goal, chasing what looks like an unimaginable goal - the edge of the universe and possibly of space-time itself. I wonder what we will find there...

Still, the music has a great tempo and it carries itself through the beat and doubles up for the melody, which sounds similar to a synthesised harmonica, which I quite like. The counter melody is a real boon, giving a boost to the track, as it starts to become bereft of variation, so it has a shot in the arm as required.

I love the modulation, as the track drops down to a much lower tone and everything seems to become nice and relaxed, ready for the final push, then it builds up again and we're off!

Great stuff.

Yes, yes, indeed...

Synthesized harmonica, I like the sound of that.. xD

Thanks, I love making transitions as epic as possible, It's almost what makes the song, from my point of view.

Thanks for the review!

Good sounding

This tune has got quite a lot of good sounds in it, especially the driving piano sounds in the solo and the melody that you chose to use. Brilliant effects that compliment the entire piece, which is a subtle blend of electronica and a more classical sounding piano.

I think that it was a little too loud - the notes top out with some static in places - particularly on the bass and the piano, which takes away from the piece slightly. Work that out and it's a perfect 10 from me.

Box-Killa responds:

The bass is loud, but i like it :D

Thanks for the review :D!

[SN |Of Stars...| SN]

Good sounds

What a nice sounding track - the beat that carries the track along and the melody on the piano that compliments it so well.

I think that the addition of some extra drums would be beneficial to the track, as it's a little short of the thud of bass at present, but without adding too much, a few extra drums could bring you to where the track seems to want to be.

The piano solo is nice work, but perhaps with the counter melody, there would be a part in the piece where you can perform a solo for that instrument as well?

SessileNomad responds:

ussually i do make my drums much mroe complex in order to create a more hectic feel, but i was kinda just bored when i made this so i kinda just left it as it was

ive actually never experimented with countermelodies, i think ill give that a try in the next track that i make

thanks for the review, and a good review as always

peace out

[Fire Spider]

Good beat

Nice vocal samples used to make this piece an enthralling piece of audio. I like the melodies, counter-melodies and the beat, as they all seem to mesh together really nicely.

While it can get a little repetitive, the tune itself is still good - I think that it means that you need to add more variation and use this to carry the track for a while longer.

Bracksta responds:

ya, man i think i'll use some solos to mix it up. thanks bro

[{BPS} A Big Repair]

Not bad

I think that the repetitive 'stuttering' of the sounds tends to pull this track downwards - it's a very nice Industrial piece, but it could be so much better, by reducing the stutter and getting on with the tune itself. Don't get me wrong, I can see where you're coming up with idea of using of these sounds for the track from, but it just seems a little OTT at the moment.

A good driving beat and a decent melody / rhythm with the rest of the track. I think that you've got the potential to take this much further in the next incarnation of this track.

BudGPStudios responds:

IDK if I want to make a redux of this, but what the hell, I might try it sometime. Thanks for the review

[-)S(- Progress]

Inspirational

A lovely tune that kind of reminds me of the atmosphere at the start of an episode of Cheers. It's a cosy atmosphere, where everyone knows your name and no-one talks about that time you got caught by the cops in the park with your trousers around your ankles.

The brass (or was it organ?) addition to this piece sounds so nice and calming that it just helps to keep the tone one of a calming and mellowing disposition.

I think that the twinkles were a nice touch, though I'd have recommended that the drums were brushed, rather than struck, this would give a much calmer sound, especially to the symbols and the snares.

Will responds:

Thanks, I'm glad someone liked the bell sound. I'll try and procure a good brush sample :P

[-)S(- Toy Spaceship]

We fly through space!

A very nice track that conjures up imagery of space aged games, flying through the vast depths of space, without much of a care in the universe.

This certainly embodies the nicer aspect of space flight, with the feelings of movement being as effortless as a child's dreams and as limitless as the bounds of their imaginations.

I love the way that the beat is softened, which makes the melody so much more powerful and calming. Very nice work. Perhaps a little more work on variation, but not much. 5 minutes means that there's plenty of space to vary the tune a little more ;)

Will responds:

What a great image! Thank you for the review.

[Oasis Split Up Song #1]

Not really rock

I don't think I've ever heard an Oasis track like that one before - no pathetic Mancunian whine, for starters. With the way that you've put this track together, I think that you decided to actually make it the way it was and then add a name that was vaguely topical for the track.

Decent sounds, but it does sound a little messy when you bring in the guitars, as they sound poorly recorded or played at the wrong volume for my liking. It's a decent beat and rhythm, but then it lacks that spark to take it further and give enjoyment to the masses.

[Review Request Club]

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, actually I made this like months ago and I made it while my internet was out, so I only got around to submitting it now that I have reason to submit it: Oasis broke up and I haven't reached 100 submissions yet ;)

Also, the guitars were just at a setting I don't normally use, and I couldn't really play with the EQing or else I could disrupt the bass and all.

Thanks for the feedback!

[Hardcore, thats right]

Good beats

This has some good variation and a great cover of the melody as well, this audio really does have some great sounding melody to keep the track going, when the beat is taken away. It's almost self-perpetuating.

I like the way that it loops, with the vocal sample and then the track begins again. You've clearly thought about this and have put some good time and effort into the track. Perhaps a little solo with the deeper keyboards doing something more than the "1, 2, 1, 2" beats and you'd have something really nice to progress with!

DeejayDeeZ responds:

Hi. Im sorry for the bit late respond.

Thank you very much. You're right, I put a lot of effort into this song and I really appreciate all the positive reviews.

I havent actually thought about another solo on the keyboards. I thought this song had enough variation, but another little solo is a good idea. I just did'nt though about It in the process while I made the song.

Thanks again for reviewing.

[~DT~ 8-Bit Upgraded (Raw)]

Too much bass

I'm sorry, but this tune was lost on me when the bass came in and nearly blew my headphones with the amount of top end static.

The intro is great and the use of the 8-Bit sounds across the rest of the tune was inspired, but when the bass comes in and drowns the rest of the tune out, even with the bass boost of my phones turned off, there's something wrong in the creation of the track. More remastering required first.

Don't get me wrong, there's a good, perhaps even great, track in there dying to get out. I would be living a lie if I marked it higher for the potential though.

DeatHTaX responds:

Hmmm idk how i feel about that. everyone else's headphones seemed to handle it, so i'm not quite sure if they're overlooking it, or if the bass is too high (or should i say, LOW) I mean it could be your ocmputer, but i guess that's something i should take into consideration. Thanks for your review, coop :) I appreciate it a bunches
