A little slow
I think that despite this piece being a heavy one, you need to take something else into account - big lumbering machines can move faster than this, so give it a go - just up the tempo a little, as this is too slow for my liking.
After it's had a quick shot in the arm for the tempo, you can add something else like keyboards, just to maybe pick out other parts of this track, which sounds borderline industrial at the moment.

Nice work
You're absolutely right - I sat back and had some breakfast, while listening to this and feel so much better for having done so. The piece is so relaxing, it's unbelievable.
However, it's more than just that - it's deep. There is so much on offer in the scale of variation and other peripherals, that you can quite easily get lost in it.
I think that I would have had a section within the track where I left out the high pitched twinkling sound in the background of this tune, as it does get a little annoying after a while. Other than that, this track is awesome :)

Left hand needs some work
Not a bad piece, but I think that you needs some work with your left hand, as some of the notes you played there were off the mark.
However, it didn't do too much to make the piece bad, per se. It has however been done quite a few times before, so you will inevitably lose marks for that.
I look forward to hearing something original and longer from you.

I did not use a keyboard to do this. I put the notes into FL Studio where they needed to go. As far as I know I was right on mark. Thanks anyway for the review!

Nice cover
I think that this tune sounds a bit one dimansional, in comparrison to the original, when you consider that there was so much going on in Christmastown. I'd certainly tell you to consider adding something that's going to increase the dimensions of the tune, like something from the mixing deck - some percussion wouldn't go amiss at all, without ruining the piano being overshadowed - remember, the piano is a dominant piece in any orchestra, much like an organ.
Still, you've captured the essence of the tune and have managed to get it together very well.

Thanks for the review man!
sorry it took so long to reply to this!
I was a little busy with some other legal matters. (i was in the wrong place at the wrong time) lol
yeah it does sound a bit flat. Im still getting better.
thanks for the review!
I'm not sure
It's kind of repetitive and I'm not entirely sure if the notes are all properly tuned together. It sounds slightly random, so needs some work to pick it all up together and give this piece some form.
It doesn't loop well either, which means I'm going to have to say that we need more variation in it and it needs to be around 3 minutes long to get everything firing correctly.

An Army Marches
I can't quite work out if the hero of the piece is a hero on his way to war or returning from that with his forces decimated. Possibly both, as it could be a flashback from the walking wounded to how glorious the force was when they left etc.
I think that the beat has a somewhat industrial quality about it, as if things are being made or people are hard at work in one respect or another.
I think that this is a great piece and I'd love to see what becomes of Ivan and how this tune will affect the flash that it is used with.

That is a pretty interesting way to think of the song, but the it only refers to one person as he performs his mafia duties. I get where you're coming with the flashback to when the army was better, and really why the song paints a picture of an army in your mind is because at the beginning and the end of the song it fades from/to an old record style radio filter. It gives it the empire-like feeling as if the song is their anthem and it's being broadcast around the empire and played on old, badly wired loudspeakers hung from poles. You probably get the flashback feeling after the radio filter fades away restoring the song's depth and tone, making it seem as though some transition was made. Anyways... thanks for the review.
Nice tune
Although I'm unsure about the choice of sounds for the background counter-melody when the girl is singing, but overall the piece is good.
There is a good deal of variation and a nice dynamic beat to the piece - I think that I'd like to see it loop better, but aside from making it slightly longer and adding more lyrics, there really isn't much you can do to improve on this tune. Seriously.

Bond, or Powers?
Not a bad sounding piece, this is probably somewhere between the two extremes of film spying. I like the way that it sounds similar to the themes sung by Shirley Bassey back in the 1960s.
I think it could do with a little more than just being a general spy theme - it needs to become more than just a background tune. This is the proper undercover spy, so it needs to be seen as a soiree at a Monte Carlo Casino or an Oil Baron's Ball on his private yacht that is the size of Luxembourg, for example.
We've got the mingling nicely, but it needs something else. If it's going to be this length, it needs to loop better, otherwise another minute or so will help you to expand upon this theory.

Sounds like a forest chase
I like the part about halfway through the tune where it sounds like changing. I was hoping that you would change something about the track from here, although it doesn't seem to have become anything else - same beat, same instruments, very similar tune.
I think that it could be a combat tune as well, but it would need a little something else - perhaps taking away the beat slightly and adding another dimension, possibly an edge, to the other instruments, to add the impression of blood being spilled.

Yeah, interesting ideas. I didn't put too much tought into a "transformation", it was more of a jumbled mess that somehow fit together to make a song. ^_^
Thanks for your review.
Nice loop
This piece works well, bringing the 1950s flicks into the 21st Century I can see where the inspiration has come from.
I think that this could maybe have done with a pause int he middle, to give the piece some emphasis and take away from the more-or-less samey qualities of the piece, which do become quite apparent after 2 or 3 runs around the block.
Still, it's a piece that sounds fiftys, even without the traditional 'record scratching' overlay that I was expecting.

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