[chillspring]

It's been a while :D

:D

Sounding as good as ever :) You really are wonderful. So calm and chilled. I love the whole feeling of this piece. Sort of disjointed but also deliciously mellow. Very pro.

yo, sup. thanx for the rev.

[SR - Binary Flowers]

I love ambient music

And this was a wonderful song. Very mellow and calming. Reminded me of Brien Eno, very clean and pristine. And while it didnt really "go anywhere" i think that that is a null argument really. Ambience shouldnt progress it should be a snap shot of a emotion or a feeling summed up in the sounds you here.

The only thing i would say to improve is that some of the prolonged notes seemed to drag on a bit and get monotonous before they had finished. Might just be me of course but if not then a bit of vibrato might help out.

I'm assuming you use synths for this? If so which ones, im thinking of getting back into making ambience but moving away from my old dark stuff.

Very good.

[MatrixRadiX]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!

THAT BASE SHAT IN MY SKULL!!!!!

So powerful! Very awsome though. You have a very good grasp of melody and timeing, although if i must criticise i would say that you need some better drum samples. Your hat are off-puttingly poor.

Great song though. Ended just as it was getting good :(

Remousamavi responds:

I know. Just made a transfer from FL studio 4 to FL studio 8, and I tell ya, it's not the same. Next one will be better in that it will be longer and have better drums. Just hope the Battery 3 plugin is worth all that memory...
By the way, that .:ToneDeaf:. of yours is just what I needed for this project of mine i've just started!

[From Where?]

Solid

You play nicely. but i must say the overdrive ruined it. It would have been good if it was nore defined and less crazy. Great tune though.

Have a 9. :D

[Chanson de l'Espace 8]

Very calm

A good solid piece. Feels as if a bee is hopping around in a field, looking for flowers. Lovely summer feel. The string work is flawless, although some of the transitions are a little jaring. This is a mighty piece. Although one thing i would have liked is if the strings modulated from side to side, as if they were actualy moving around. Very solid.

Keep up the good work.

[People Die - Punk Voter]

Smooth

The vocals are a bit bland but they work within this genre. The guitar work is a bit mashed. By that i mean it doesnt stand out very much it just sort of blends in with the rest of the track. I would say this is more down to recording than your playing as quite obviously you can play. Also on the point of sound quality the drums could be a bit more punchy. make them hit more. Would work well, i think, for a song with lyrics like these. Maybe swear a little less :) Sure it gets the point across but its far more poinient if you dont resort to swearing.

Putting all that aside i would ssay this is a wonderful piece.

9 out of 10.

SwashieB responds:

FUCK THAT! LISTEN TO PEOPLE DIE!

[A Sheet, a Quill, and the Hour]

Wow

So good. Simply amazing. OH my god! Singing???????? On newgrounds???????? that is fantastic. A wonderful track. the base is superb. Great work.

While the simple fact that there are vocals is impressiveadn the singing is generaly of a good standard, your voice is a bit mono tone. Almost a bit drab. Theres no punch and snap. It feels as if there is no emotion going into them. More passion in your voice would work a treat. Aside from that this is a 10 out of 10 track and you fully deserve all my 10's. Keep up the fantastic work.

[Shattered Prokofiev]

Sweet

Very interesting take on a old masterpiece. Loved its free forming feel and its lovely synths. Good work. Just a bit randon though. Loops very nicely as well. Good job sir.

[Purple Dream]

Begining was amazing

Loved the steady build up and random beepings. Sounds fantastic. Reminds me of a sauna in a japanese bath house. Then you break out into wonderful beats. Some very good stuff here. One of your best works i must say. If i was going to find fault with it i thought some of the samples could have been of a better quality. But that doesnt subtract from this gorgeous work.

Keep up the good work my friend.

LfunkeyA responds:

thanks for the rev. redhot. the equilizing and 'bass' of this track are 'doomded' (as RAB's Hamster would say, anyways, I'll try making something non-beat these days. keep it up.

[*Made Of Fire*]

Your quite right

This is professional. Very classy. Has some amazing stuff going on here. Break neck pace, fantastic melody. This is wonderful. A real great Dnb song.

My one complaint(and this is a stretch) would be that you over use the effect that makes it sound like its going underground. I suppose you start and end with it so it keeps it rounded but still. I just think yoy could have something a little bit more impactful, say like the song just instantly stops without any warning. That would be cool.

Anyway if you have time can you check out my stuff.

thank you!
