[Bridal Creeper]

Good beat

Coming soon to a gymnasium near you, this track has a good beat for lifting weights or keeping a steady pace on cardiovascular equipment - just what is needed when you're working out.

I think that it's really a case of a nicely balanced piece. Saying it has a good beat really doesn't carry it far enough, as you've produced a far better piece than just the beat - both the melody and counter melody have excelled and this piece has quite a few layers of quality programming / arrangement, making up one hell of a tune.

Not sure about the name though...

Lol, I never thought of it like that. ;D
The song was actually meant to have a darker tone to it, and then name "bridal creeper" is the name of a weed that spreads and strangles plants. I just remembered it from childhood, and yeah, the name just stuck.
Thanks for your comments. <3

Ode to Flight of the Bumblebee

A really nice piece that for me tended to have quite a large reliance on the flight of the bumblebee - the fast paced drops down the scales just seemed so similar to it, it was uncanny.

A very accomplished piece that really does show how good a pianist you are. Keep up the good work :)

Not a bad piece

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that this mellow and nicely paced tune is good work.

I can't really think of where to classify this song, but it seems that my mind is directing me to a man walking down the street, with nothing much to do. His hands in his pockets and he slowly meanders along the road, nowhere to go, no-one to see. A lazy day is a good day in his mind.

Nice description. Thanks for the 8!

[Sweet Moves (DjD)]

Great remix!

A wonderful piece of work that brings back a classic to my ears. I think that with a little more work, it could be one of the best that I've ever heard - perhaps consider adding the vocal sample back in along some of the lines... either that or get a voice artist to stop by and give you a few samples for the use as either a close approximation, or something different in the sound.

I think that aside from the decent rewriting of the classic, you've also added some nice sounds of your own to make it bigger and better - this isn't a tune that is a tribute to this classic, it's your own piece, that comes forth and makes itself known to one and all.

Woah, thanks for an awesome review! I was thinking about adding vocals, but I suck at doing that so it kind ruined it when i tried. But it's a good idea!

Go on the ghost train

A shame about the intro really, as it does sound quite messy, although when it clears up toward the end of the piece, it really does sound the more accomplished of the three pieces.

With a little more clearing up, it could become a really nice piece, which is made more ingenious by the fact that it is only one word being used for the entire piece.

I do feel like the ending of it sounds like a trip around the haunted house, which is a really weird setting for something like this... or so I believed.

More variation

I'm not sure how to take this series of tunes, as each one seems quite annoying in their own special way. On any loop of longer than 5 minutes, it could certainly get beyond annoying and this one, while better in many different ways from GO30, it doesn't seem like the uses are anywhere near as wide ranging compared to the predecessor.

Strange... and I like it.

I really wasn't sure about this tune when I first listened to it, but then I was reminded of a Bill Bailey sketch, called "Jean Michelle Jarre (Is a Fraud)" If you've ever seen this, I would like to know if you've ever taken some inspiration from this, but regardless of that, this tune certainly instils a sense of urgency about anything that it could be applied to.

The only thing I could have seen done to it would be to make it longer and add some other vocal sample to it like a faint "you're running out of time" in the background. Subtle is the key here, otherwise the whole pretense of the song will be ruined.

[AweSome Song]

Good work

A song. Like you said.

Try to be a little more descriptive with the information that you give about your work, or people will start to think that it isn't yours ;)

Still, a nice piece, with a good beat and melody, mixed together well. I think that the variation is reall what makes this piece stand out from the rest of the tunes I've heard today, because with the variation, you've not only added another section to the song, but you've added a whole new dimension to it. A shame it wasn't longer really.

Light and fast

I'm not sure about the start of the tune, but other than that, it's a fast paced, slightly higher pitched than needed, but otherwise a good sounding piece.

I think it's another piece that could use extrapolation and may run afoul of copyright rules, but if that's alright then you're onto a winner.
