[Detonator]

I'm gonna blow!

The tune starts off quietly, which is a good way to go, but surely with a title like Detanator, you're going to finish with a massive crescendo? That's what I was expecting, but you left me to hang :(

Anyway, you've created a nice piece here, with the tune putting me in the mind of some guy planting a bomb and progressing on to try and blow things up.

This says to me that he failed, as it didn't go bang in the end.

FullyClothedMike responds:

You know what?
You're right.
It DOES need a massive bang to round this off.
I'm gonna work on the ending of this, and I'm gonna make it explode!
Thanks for the suggestion.

[Green, piano]

Jazz Piano?

Played yourself, or made through a computer program?

I like it, it's got a good sound and is quite an uplifting track. Kind of the song you need if you've had a hard day at work and things haven't gone as if you've planned them out.

Maybe stick a choir in the background with the strings and have them singing some sort of "Aah" to go along with the tune.

Jurian responds:

Played all myself, as all of my songs, except the dance stuff.

[The Reno- [A Heros End]]

Touching

I think that the strings were a nice piece, but I really think that you went over the top with the bell tolling in the background. I think that the piece itself is looking to be two separate pieces, with the death and the second peice encompassing the funeral.

Maybe release them as two separate pieces, then you could link them together in the comments or something similar.

TheReno responds:

So you want me to make a funeral piece and a death piece? No, it wouldnt work out right like you think it would. That and somebody woul come along and be like "Why dont you put the two together". xD Thanks for the idea though.

[Desert Run Zone]

What's in the desert?

Eagles? Enemies? Mines?

We could be here all night discussing this, but I feel that the beat and the keyboards really contributes to the whole presence of the tune, making it a very powerful piece.

The only negative thing I could say is that it's too damned short - you really need to give me something a bit longer, to deal with all of this power, help me to explain the metaphors etc :P

[Review Request Club]

WritersBlock responds:

There's a giant robotnik machine chasing sonic through the desert. There are also spikes and mines, and machine insects, and crabs. Probably. There's actually a lot in the desert.

Too short, eh? Well, I was aiming to keep it nice and condensed, if you want something that goes the distance, try some of my other music, that has less practicality for flashes, but more potential for awesomeness. (note, I'm still working on a decent piece like that, bear with me...)

[Sunny Days]

Starsky & Hutch?

This sounds like the sort of track that you'd hear towards the end of Starsky & Hutch, maybe even as the credits roll. I can hear them relaxing, after the bad guys have all been arrested and they are driving off into the sunset.

Especially the presence of the Wah-Wah pedal in this track, may have given me the impression of that classic 70s TV Program, but I quite like the image it gives me. Needs to be longer, as the longest tracks in the movies are always the ones over thre credits, as they have to fill time for things like who the star's bank managers are and everything like that.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the review!

[Terrified]

Sounds like a car chase

I quite like this one, throwing caution to the wind as you're driving your car through the city and suddenly you spot a car in the mirror, that is tailing you. You try not to react too quickly, because if you do, they might have to show that they're packing heat and off you right there and then.

Maybe make it into a longer track - 2-3 minutes should be better. Give us the essence of leading them to a somewhere like the freeway, so you can put your foot down and try to lose them. Incrrease the tempo and maybe the urgency of the piece, as it runs to the end.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the review!

[Please]

Nice easy tune

By 'Easy', I mean the fact that it is easy on the ears, rather than easy to play or anything like that. You've added two, three or even four different pieces together at one point, which beld together really well and the overall effect is quite impressive.

I quite liked the choral sounds in the background towards the end of the track. Wouldn't call it Jazz though - maybe easy listening or ambient music.

Still, a great piece. Keep up the good work

Jurian responds:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it, so what made it an 8, instead of a superior 10:P

[march of the glubglubs]

Not so creepy

I still don't know what a glubglub is, but I'll blunder on regardless, until one of them jumps me. If you're reading this, they probably got me. Send help.

A short, but interesting tune. This reminds me of some of the music you hear with the deep under water documentaries, where there is not sunlight and the weird and wonderful creatures of the world's oceans come out to play. Am I getting close with what a glubglub is like?

The swishing noise was the best, as it sounded like a fast moving water-borne creature, which I really liked from the images within my mind.

[Review Request Club]

glubgluby responds:

they would only kill you if you walk backwards through any populated area wearing a red jacket, or a yankees hat.
they hate yankee's

[march of the glubglubs2]

WTF is a glubglub?

And why do they march?

Anyway, that is something I don't really need to know, as I've got an idea about them being some kind of oozy creature, that moves like a slug. Their march sounds quite creepy, as if they have enveloped the roads in their mucus-lubricated feet and are slowly, but purposefully marching towards whatever they seek at the end of the road.

Sounds quite creepy. Not too sure if I should be listening to this in a Thunderstorm...

[Review Request Club]

glubgluby responds:

well your right about the slow part
glubglub's are a little creature i made up a while ago.. i forget when.. then i got my name "glubgluby"
they're slow moving, little aliens with three eye stalks, round bodies, short stubby arms and legs, and occasionally when biologically altered they are buff. they march to freedom from the robot empire, or something.. i forgot/.

[h-ween]

High tension

This is quite a tense piece, but it lacks that killer blow in my eyes. What you could have really done with is in the style of "Psycho", the last heavy, deep note, that indicates that the killer is about to strike. That would have beenm the icing on the cake and would have made a few listeners jump, I'll bet.

The strings is good, and the quiet part is really good in the middle, just to build up the suspense right afterward :)

[Review Request Club]

glubgluby responds:

by the "Psycho" i think you mean the loud screeching "BUM! BUM! BUM! BUM!" and then you hear like a scream or something.
