Like this

This is really mysterious sounding song. Very nice chord progression going on and that bass is pretty funky. Good luck in the competition :)

[Avalanche Warnings]

Great stuff

Wow I really enjoyed this song. I especially liked the ending part with the tambourine. I couldn't quite make out the lyrics, but nice singing. I've been doing a little bit of songwriting myself. I'll make sure to check out the rest of the album soon

Great work bud

attemptedperfection responds:

Thanks for the review; glad to hear it, and good to see ya! I admit the vocals are a bit far back in the mix for this one in particular; they're a bit more prominent on the other songs on the album. I'll have to catch up on your latest music stuffs and see what you've been up to lately... any recommendations?

nasty

this is nasty. I don't even know

Good work :D

SmithCommaJohn responds:

Oh you know... ;)

[Stay Here (clean)]

Great stuff

I kind of like how it gradually builds up but not really at the same time. The slight glitches in the percussion was a real treat. Guitar tone was fabulous as well.

The pad was alright, but seems a bit overpowering. You said the old version had too much bass, this one seems like it has too much mids.

Great work overall.

broove responds:

Yes, I got lazy on both of them actually. However I have just lowered the bass on the first version, so it's not that bad now.
Anyway thank you for a great review

ooh I like this

really pretty melody and structure here. It kept me interested the entire song. It also threw some surprises at me too. I think this would sound nice with some guitar over it. Maybe I could do something.

I meant to do something over that other song you sent me but I was a bit out of ideas for it.

Also I suggest if you are to replace the rimshot, put a 808 snare with a bit of delay instead ;)

Tokolos responds:

Hey, thanks Devin!
Yea, add something if you want... I'd be glad if you did/

[Flashburn - Halcyon Boy 88]

Great

This is really smooth. When the kick came in it really entranced me to hear the rest, There are some real nice stereo effects going on. This makes me think of a futuristic dance club or something like that.

Production and mix is great, a very clean mix is good. Great work overal

[SpK*) - 78 Pixels Ver.2]

holy shit

this is amazing :D

[==(Mindmangler)==]

Interesting stuff

Unrelated, but that album art is awesome.

Anyways about the song. It's pretty deep stuff. You create a great atmosphere and all the various little sounds are great. The beginning had me thinking of the Matrix, but halfway through when the song started to pick up it had me thinking of starcraft for whatever reason.

My only gripe with this track is with the mixing. Specifically on the drums. They sound just a bit too compressed. I'm not sure if that was intentional or what, but it seems to take a lot out of the rest of the track.

Great work SBB, I look forward to hear your album, if that's what you are making :)

[Longing For The Northern Waves]

Great stuff

This is a really peaceful song I must say. The timbres are quite nice too. Smooth and eerie. Actually the chord progression gives off a bit of a mysterious sound. Nice stuff. You should make more tunes like this :)

SantaBro responds:

Thanks matey!

[.brain cream.]

Sweet

This is very Aphex Twin-esque. I like the filter LFO over that bass sweep and that lead synth is a really nice example of synthesis. Percussion is simple and perfect.

I know this is a simple tune, but it seems like the bridge part is lacking a bit. Still works as is thought. Great work, now release an album of this shit for me to buy :)

VegetarianMeat responds:

I've been working on a concept album for a while ;)
