It's quite brilliant, actually
It's a very humorous approach that inspired you to make lots of little musical jokies. Very fun to listen to!
Downfall: the synth that kicks in after the chorus is out of key and makes me shiver a little, not in a good way.
Still 5/5.
I just didn't like how it was going... and I couldn't seem to get it to sound any better... so I kinda gave up. I much prefer the original.
I'm currently working on a tribute to Sealab 2021. It's going to kick so much ass. It'll top the funniness of my egg song, no doubt, and certainly the music. Look for it within the next few days... :P
You rock, you do
The atmosphere is great again. That stereo effect makes it psychotic as fuck! And those dirty synth thrusts combined with the high-pitched synth on the background. And the semi-harmonic interludes.
I think you should've taken it further at the end though. Because I can picture the butterflies swarming, with eyes glowing red with evil or whatever, but that whole image begs for an apocalyptic climax of death and destruction.
4/5 then.
Thanks for the review(s)!
This one didn't take very long to make, but I had fun with it (if you can't tell)
Cool.
Yeah, there should be a "Soundscape" category...
This is a great way to start a CD. I feel it's just long enough - 4 extra bars might've ruined it completely :)
It sets the mood for the style of your music - as far as I experienced that yet; it's clear that one can expect weird stuff, but leave no exact clue to what that stuff will exactly be like.
Not much to say songwriting-wise, it's obviously an intro, however, it can be put to good use as sophisticated background noise in a flash.
Thumbs way up again. 5/5, because it deserves a higher score.
much thanks!
If you live somewhere in the US, I'll gladly send you a free copy of the CD (if you promise to tell your friends ;)) since you've been giving such great feedback.
thanks again!
Yea
Indeed, good beat, might try adding a little volume slide to the snare fill. Bit Reel2Real-y :)
However, if you want to get more attention, you should make your submissions more interesting. A 6 sec. loop repeated 50 times or so is a little underwhelming, it just doesn't stand out in the pile of music that's submitted every day.
Thus I will await your next submission. 3/5 for now.
It's my first one. Thanks
Exceptional.
This has almost the whole package. Great composition and a near flawless performance. Good tempo and dynamic changes, a very varied arrangement and not one note too many. You are very skillful as a composer AND as piano player.
I detect some Beethoven and Chopin influences, does that make sense at all?
The sound quality is not that good, but that also adds to the feel of the song in a nice way. Too bad sometimes it distorts.
I obviously gave you a 5. This deserves to be among the top entries.
Would you maybe possibly review my song "Exit Moscow"? I'm intrigued to hear what you think of that.
Do keep 'em coming, even if the crowd seems to completely ignore you. Recognition here comes slowly if ever, due to the vast elite (who are mostly awesome, no bad things about them) and the zero-voting retards.
I'm gonna be completely honest with you here, I didn't actually write this, it was COMPLETELY improvised. I just sat down at the piano, turned on the mic, and started playing. So unfortunately we won't be able to hear a better quality version, unless I take the time to listen to this and write it down from ear. But thanks for the positive feedback. and believe me, there are MUCH more pieces coming, so don't worry :)
thank you
Clayton
Yep.
This one's crap. :)
Next...
my sentiments exactly
XD
Elliott Smith is not dead
It's a cool song. And while I like that it's actually too frantic for it's message, I feel the guitar was given a little bit too much of disciplinal beating :)
Your voice here kinda resembles mine (if I do say so myself) on the songs I've submitted - not very stable voices but refreshingly honest in lyric interpretation :)
Can't stop making those damn smilies :)
:)
It could've also used a few more of the [yeah what was it even? reversed guitar notes?] stuff that you added in the intro and towards the end. And I'd have liked your voice to be a little distorted.
Otherwise, I dig big time. 5/5
Those reversed-guitar-note sounds were from my keyboard, though not a factory-set instrument; I designed it :P
I tried adding it in more places, but it wouldn't fit, so my excuse is that it leaves the listener wanting more :P
...
:P
Pros and cons
Sorry about the lame review summary line.
That said, I once more immediately fall in love with the atmosphere of the song. That Björk-Homogenicesque beat and the RadioheadKidAesque synth and NintendoMetroidesque sizzling and buzzing make short work of introducing the song.
But then, the song advances into a far inferior part where the beat diminishes and RKAesque synth reaches a totally insignificant duo-voiced melody, only to return to the howzamagunnacallitoyeaiknow "Main theme". To eventually reach the next part which is very nice.
In my opinion, you should replace that part (if you can figure out whichever the hell I'm yabbing (is that even a word?) about) with that other part. And then build to a more powerful climax.
Christ, I hope you understood at least half of that. I'm so very stoned.
Long story even longer: I lovingly embrace your style and this one in particular, but I really feel you can get twice more out of the idea if you just take some real risks. Shock the listener who was just about to adjust to your style!
But your music enjoyed me most of every artist I've listened to here. Also, great big thanks for reviewing some of my songs. Do more if you'd like, especially the ones with vox and/or guitar, I hold your reviews in high respect.
No, really.
Yeah, I'm getting out of here.
yeah, I was definately going for that Björk-ish trip-hop-y slow-tempo feel with this one. I understood perfectly what you were saying, and I'll definitely look into spicing up or maybe completely changing the section in question before adding the vocals I plan to add. After putting so much effort into the drums for that first section, I guess I kinda lazily assumed that using less drums in the next would work... maybe it didn't...
but thanks for the detailed review!
Fucktastic
I liked this very much for reasons mentioned in my review for "Dusk".
That corny, annoying melody in that chirpy synth sound was the best. That made the song really live up to its title (I hope that's what you intended: how when you can't sleep your mind starts concerning itself with trivial things like remembering melodies to retarded songs). It's those smart details that separate amateurs from professionals. Lovely.
5/5, hands down.
Well, I wouldn't call myself "professional," not by a long shot... somewhat because of my recording equipment... which I'm working on upgrading... but thanks for the review! glad you liked it. I'll head over and listen to your stuff in a bit, but R.A.T.M.'s "Take the Power Back" just started on my iPod, and I simply have to listen to the whole thing ;)
Fun project!
Very original idea and it works for the most part.
The drums are laid-back and frantic at the same time. The little ambienty samples and melodies fit in great.
However, I found the part where you sing several lines with only the drums as accompaniment too draggy. Your singing blended in with the first part, but you would have to sing with a bit more energy when you "go solo", in order to not lose the tension that you built up so minimalistically.
I'm now listening to Sleep Deprivation, so I know it wasn't a lucky shot - you have a great knack for this type of music.
4/5 for this and check out my stuff too
Thank you much for your input; I always get such mixed input on my t.w.i.m.c. stuff... so it's difficult to know what to work on when I write new stuff...
