[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.

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.

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

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

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:

ok cool thanks

the only thing school's ending soon and i have no idea where i can get a Reasons program to buy or download that works with a mac...

[unfinished +:Nash:+]

The guitar tune is really nice....

The guitar tune is really nice, the only problem I have is that it sounds fruity loopish, and the percussion sounds stock, if you know what I mean. You should look at some new percussin samples. Also the guitar would sound a lot better if you used a real acoustic guitar.

www.breakbeat-paradise.com is a great website for percussion.

Overall though, you will be a very talented artist soon if you keep writing good music like this. You just need some better percussion is all.

Very well done my friend :D

Anima

Nashton responds:

thanks alot!

i used reasons by the way

[Medley A La Dimoria]

great :D

This song is mixed awesomely. The overall tune is really good. No really negative points, maybe need's vocals, but this song survives very well on it's own.

Well done my friend :D

Anima

Dimoria responds:

Thanks man :) Glad you like it.
Well I don't think I want vocals on this particular song due to the fact that it's a medley of instrumental parts of my songs :p

[(_RGH_) Abyss (Dark Pico)]

I thought this would be more popular

Not bad my friend :D

I'll list all of the pro's and con's that I can see

Con's
-The drum samples you used I don't like, they do start sounding better though the rest of the song.

-And the only thing else I can see is that it goes for a little it too long

Pro's
-This is mixed fantastically.

-The drum beat sounds cool.

-The general tune of the song is well thought out and the instruments work very well with this song.

I can't think of how you can really improve this, well done my friend :D

Your mate

RyeGuyHead responds:

should be more popular...

Review :D

Nice lead up to the song, I don't like the vocals though and the general percussion I dislike, but I tend to dislike all stock Fruity Loops percussion. The basic tune of this was really good, some instruments though, like the one at 2:07, are much too loud and drown out everything else.

Good song, well done

Anima

DeadFlower responds:

The vocals are just to say it's by me (DeadFlower) and an ad in the song to my homepage. Plus it'll keep people from stealing my work. But other than that thanks for the feedback.

[The Highest Gear (TG Remix)]

Good :D

Not bad :D

You need better percussion samples though.

Honestly, I think that's all you need, listening to the rest, the tune is good and the other instruments sound like good techno.

If you'd like I could send you some better kick samples.

Just PM me if you'd like them :D

Well done though on this track

4/5 and 9/10 from me

jhende7 responds:

That is so so funny you say that, the drums are actually temporary and I will be re-doing them when I get some roland samples which I have but are at my other house. I 100% agree with you the drums hurt it a lot but it's all I have to work with right now (using garagebands default techno drums). Really appreciate the comment, and if you want to pass along those drums samples i am very interested.
