Not bad
I think that this particular piece needs extra work on the backing melodies - the drums aren't loud enough to see this piece through, as the guitar is quite a powerful presence.
It's more of an introduction to a tune than anything else, so I'd recommend that you take it slightly further, by making this into a full blown tune, complete with bass, drums and perhaps keyboards and vocals, just to make it what it yearns to be.

Only silent to those who don't listen
Not a bad little tune here - this piece brings to life the sounds of a deserted castle, that isn't completely dead yet. There are still things in there that can keep this place sounding like there is someone home.
What you might need is the occasional sound of a creaking floorboard (nothing too major, as it would start to sound too creepy)
It's got quite a lot of feeling in there, as if the place yearns to be inhabited once again. I like that emphasis.

Good Drums
I'm really not sure about the sound effect that you've put on the guitar here, as I'm not entirely sure how it is meant to sound, or what, if anything, it is meant to represent.
For me, this tune is symbolic of drug abuse, as people messing with their minds are ending up with this sort of sound accompanying their lives, as they sway almost uncontrollably through the misty haze that is now their surroundings.
I think that you need to work on bringing the drums on more and allowing some creative oompf through them, as the intro was awesome, then the guitars came in and really didn't do the piece any favours.

Thanks for all the reviews guys! Thi song seemes like a 'love it or hate ite it' type of thing. I'm glad for all this feedback though!
Nice work
Certainly worthy of the title screen, with whatever sort of menu you want to create around the music - it's nothing too dominant over what is contained within the menu, so it can certainly be made to feel like there is something worth looking at, rather than just listening to the song. Though this song can quite easily be sat down and listened to, allowing for maximum enjoyment, as it's quite calming as well.
I'd maybe consider making the track longer, as with the fading, you've lost the ability to loop it - for me, that's a major downside, as you need to be able to take it further than where it is - sometimes menus are sat at for quite a while and making this into a loop would achieve perfection for this piece. You've got a good scope to add more material to it as well, maybe as much as 30s - 1m worth, which would just bring it to a whole new level.

Good beats
A nice chilled version of a hip-hop tune, which certainly doesn't convey my usual imagery of hip-hop. This one is nice and relaxed with a nice outlook on life from where the track originates.
I like the beats and they way they blend with the rest of the track, putting across an almost serene picture, that makes me want to visit the place that this piece simulates.
I think that if you added some sort of rap to this, it would not do the song any favours. Stick to the track as it is and add only a little more to the instruments - make the track longer, but leave the vocals alone, as it's not needed at present.

Pumping
I think this fast paced dance track is certainly something to get the masses in the clubs up on their feet and bouncing away, but I think that you really do need to add a piano solo, just for extra impetus on that part of the music - a few notes from it that are discernible here and there don't really count, as you're not giving the instrument the chance to shine that usually befits such a wonderful sound.
Still, the bass and melody are good and while fading out the beat, to have a slower, calmer solo would be briliant, you've pretty much nailed the whole tune as something that's even managed to increase my typing speed as I review, so the pacing is great to work with.

Ambient Rainforest
This is the sort of track that you get playing over the videos of the wonderful things about rainforests and jungles, with things like orang-utans hanging around in the trees and then the more active creatures, like colonies of ants busily harvesting a few leaves off a banana tree, to take back to the ever expanding nest.
Wonderful sounds, but I would question the use of the thunder - not every rainstorm has thunder and lightning, so why does this one? It's maybe something a little too powerful for the track, so I would just omit it, as the song is good enough on its own, without the extra gravitas.

I like the rainforest thing lol :) Um about the thunder... hmm... I guess I just wanted to intensify the emotion. I think it has a different effect before and after the song drops out so that's kinda cool i guess. You gave me something to think about...
Thanks for the review
Bangin'
Not a bad little tune, but like a lot of reviewers here, I think it gets a little repetitive for a 7 minute Behemoth of a track. You need to add something else to that beat loop to get the most out of it, most certainly.
I've given a 9, mainly because the variation element that really is dominant in this piece with the melody - you've gone all out to impress with that and while it's impressive, the beat does drag it back slightly, which is where the focus needs to be.
[Review Request Club]
My harmonies and beats really do need to vary themselves more as the song progresses, I guess I tend to get stuck in the same pattern and drag it on too much.
Thanks for the review. :)
Soomt, controlled
Sounds like a well driven, high performance car. I can imagine this being the driving tune for certain drivers, as they guide their magnificent machines around the tracks... though maybe not what you'll hear on the car stereo, more like the soundtrack on the postseason DVD...
Possibilities exist for this to be a racing game tune, which is good. I'd certainly recommend it for anything like that over the course of my time on this site. Perhaps it needs a slight tweak in the middle though, as it does go a little quiet for a racing tune, when everything fades out, as if they've stopped for a pit stop or something. That's just a little long.

Perfomance car? Not really what i had in mind but oh well. :)
I'll adjust the middle part asap, evrybody hates.. 'dislikes' the middle part either for being too quiet or just plain generic. Ill try to make that part especially better.
Thanks you liked the demo :)

Raining tunes
Playing about with the high pitched stuff does leave a little static effect on my speakers that you might want to deal with at some point. Still, with that minor issue taken into consideration, it's a good tune to listen to.
A commanding beat, well backed up by a consistently progressive melody, which doesn't so much as drive the tune forwards, as point it along the right directions, as the bass supplies the real power for this track.
A shame it doesn't loop better, to be honest, because that would really be the icing on the cake.

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