[Let's Dance [Collab - Hel]

a little too happy for my tastes....

This is good, a little too happy for my tastes though, but thats a personal thing.

The mixing seems to be quite good, the panning effects sound cool and are well implemented, and the overall tunes are good.

The only down side I can see is maybe the tempo is a little slow for a song of this genre.

Good work on this song :D

Your mate,

Anima

I hate writting in here >:(

Now on to the review :D

I don't mean to sound mean, but this sound sounds a little clumsy or something. Like to genre's tripping over each other. It's hard to explain. The drums could be a little better, as in the samples don't sound to realistic. The Techno parts are well done though. The guitar solo sounds like it stuck on...it doesn't meld with the music or something. Maybe a little reverb would fix that.

Needs a little improving in my opinion, but other than that a great track my friend :D

Box-Killa responds:

I understand what u mean, all the notes fit, i think maybe it is like too fast or something. Maybe i can go back and see if the beat is all in the right beat/tempo/place, if u know what i mean. Yeah you cant deny it, it is a kick ass song, specialy ay :30. Anyway, thx for the critic... peacout :D

[That Fuging Icehole!]

This song has odd structure to it...

The opening sounded cool. The drums are way to quiet, especially the kick. The title of the song is pretty crap, but that doesn't really mean a whole lot.

This song has odd structure to it....not bad, just interesting and different, and in all honesty it wasn't really a song. Just....short music.

Overall though not too bad.

adompeace responds:

1) "Title is crap:" This is a fugue so the title is simply a play on words. I think it's funny and I don't regret calling it that.

2) "The drums are too quiet:" In my opinion, the drums are fine. In fact, I think the drums sometimes overshadows the synths. Especially in the part where it modulates to major (00:42-01:02).

3) "Odd structure/wasn't a song/too short:" Again, it's called a fugue. It's obvious to me from this review that you've never heard of a fugue. It's a classical structure that was quite prominent among composers in the Baroque era like J.S. Bach. It's a piece for three or more voices and apparently one of the hardest kinds of music to compose. In fact, the structure of the fugue is so complex, some composers spend their lives studying the composition of the fugue. My piece is only the bare minimum of a what a fugue consists of. It's really short because I'm not Bach and I can't handle composing three independent, simultaneous melodies that last for three or four minutes yet... I like what I did with this one because it's powerful and it's short and sweet.

If you want an example of a fugue, Bach's Art of the Fugue is the best place to start.

Nice fusion :D

It's not too bad.

Though, when I think DnB, I think epic drums, and epic bass line. What you've written in good, but not epic enough. The snare isn't "in yo face" as it should be, and the bass line need to be heavier, deeper and louder.

Saying this you did say it was a fusion between 2 genre's, so I guess the drums should be very predominant. You did fuse those two dance elements nicely though.

The tune and general song construction is good though.

Overall, a great track.

Hope to hear more from you :D

This song reminds me of FF Crisis core...

This song reminds me of FF Crisis core for some reason.

It's very good, though the percussion could maybe be a little more complex, but I like that sorta stuff in music. Really sharp sounding snares. Also, maybe the kick sample could be a bit better.

Overall a good job my friend :D

Well done

Anima

ChrisisD responds:

Thanks! Hmm... I worked quite some time on the kick and the snare :) I chose purposely to make the kick really electronic.... As for the complexiation of the drums... you're right... its maybe a little bit too simple...
Glad you like it! Thanks for the review!
Greets, Chris

You have some great skills...

This song is very well done. I can't see anything wrong with it. Maybe the bass line should be boosted in the lower frequencies a very little bit. But that's my opinion.

You have some great skills.

[GreenHills Zone (All-Epic mix)]

Not Bad...

Not Bad

I don't typically like this type of music, but I can appreciate the effort that went into it.

Well done :D

megawolf77 responds:

Hiyas! Thankies for the comment!

It took me--I don't know--a whole day composing this by play-by-ear. XD
It's really rare to find the original 8-bit of this music though.

Thanks again! ;3

This is good, there isn't anything i can see that I don't like.

Well done :D

Anima

Orangepot responds:

Awesome! Thanks for the review, I'm glad you like it, because it took me ages to make, I bet good song makers could make this in about 5 minutes though. Anyway, thanks again.

[The First Road: Recognition]

I commented and voted :D

The tune of this song is great :D

You should be very proud of it.

The only negative points I can still see are; the guitar instrument should be a real guitar, and the percussion should sound more real....I don't really know how to word what I mean :P

Maybe if you send me the MP3 I could do some really awesome percussion for you :D

Anyways man, Great song, you are a great artist. Please keep me informed when you bring out new music. I'd love to hear it :D

Your mate,

Anima

Nashton responds:
