Yeah!
Impulse Tracker rocks! I use it all the time.
What you made here is very interesting. Good, original harmonies. It builds up very slow, but that fits the mood perfectly. As kingbastard already said, it's a grower.
I don't know if you're still active, but if you are, check out some of the things I made in IT and if you like it, contact me sometime. We may be able to provide each other some samples or even make a song together.
Anyway, 5/5.
I'll check it out and let ya know :)
thanks for the kind review
Neat
Another interesting project :)
I agree with the snare being out of place - but it would probably help a lot if you'd just decrease its volume a bit.
What I think you should do is just add more chaotic synthiness, have them counter each other in rhythm rather then melody. Use a pitch range of several octaves. Aim for insanity but keep the drums steady.
Just a suggestion, but it's a good one :)
4/5, but I've a feeling the complete version will get full score... notify me when it's done!
I'll do so! Yeah, this is for a job, so you'll most likely hear the full version later on. Thanks for the good review!

Submit more stuff!
Hi! As promised, a review for you. Very late.
I really like how you experiment with percussive synths, and mix a classically based chord structure with ambient elements.
But a big con is that you parallelly harmonized the melody with perfect 4ths (E-F-G with A-Bb-C). Since the perfect 4th is a dissonant interval, that makes it sound very choppy, and overall, not very pretty... so what I would do is experiment with a countermelody rather than transposing the original melody - not only because it will work better, but also because it will tickle your imagination further.
Anyway, submit more stuff - I guarantee you that you will go far if you just experiment a lot and have others shine their light on it. It works for me, I get better with every helpful review.
I'll see you on MSN then? :)
4/5 on this one.
^_______________^ ur critique very helpful :)
i'll see if i can get acid running again, or work wif fl, lately i gave up....
and very sorry for delays in answering (rare) reviews, been studying like a b!......for the exams
happy composing! :) i'll see wat i can do (will be quite time consuming thou, dont expect anything soon from me...)
cheerios~ love u all supporters!
Well, I loved it. 10 + 5 + DL
Eww! It's all glitchy!
Excellently mixed dude. The balance between the noises and melodic stuff is very good. You even applied some bitonality with that tribalesque synth that the song opens with.
Lots to discover on this one! Really, very, very good. I'm enjoying this way more than your hard techno, so forgive me if I keep my reviewing hands of those :)
Are you still around? I haven't seen you on the BBS in some time now...
Very interesting and well performed.
Very cool.
The performance is admirable, as is the whole arrangement. Not much more to say about that, just that it's awesome.
I've got a few comments on the structure though.
The reason that the pitch slide is a bit irksome is that it's too short - I like how it comes as a shock, but the listener needs a little time to adjust and realize it's cool. The resigned bit after that is beautiful and would gain admirability if that slide was twice as long.
At some parts it slightly goes out of pace, most noticeable when the beat comes in again after that resigned part.
I also think the fade-out is too quick.
Oh and I posted a little walkthrough for you in the Audio Ads thread, so you can link :)
Great work, 5/5.
It's been said...
...but the song doesn't live up to its intro.
Intro is nice, moody, hints to Moby (what was that song on Play? I think it was Machete), and seems to introduce some bad-ass, edgy techno stuff.
But then it goes into that happy theme and that might've been cool, if it was harmonized better.
I took the liberty of playing that theme on my piano, and now I can explain what makes it sound irky:
in the second bar, you have a D in the bass, and the chord feel is still Bb. In the melody, you play an Eb first, which really clashes with that D because of the semitone difference, and then you play the D in the melody. It is a general rule of the thumb that when you have the 3rd of a chord in the bass (so in this case, the D out of the Bb chord), you cannot have that note in the melody as well.
I hope that was clear, I'm not used to discuss music theory in English, but it may help you improve this tune if you're planning to.
Well, in conclusion, I think you're a very promising composer and I highly encourage you to experiment a lot and put it all up for review.
You're cool. But this gets a 3 :P
No!!! Reputation of 4/5 ruined!!!
-Lol, jk, but yeah, I just plan on getting better with every song I do, it's a fresh start everytime to what I know.
Thanks much!

Cool!
Whoa dude, how do you manage to get such a load of reviews?! ;)
Ironically, though you're a very skilled drummer the only part where this song lacks is in the rhythm section - the snare is too soft and I miss a prominent bass.
That aside, it is very uplifting, diverse, and you came up with nice fills, even in some unexpected places! The marimba melodies are ace.
Very well done. I saw you were getting more samples, that'll really benefit you. Feed that creativity :)
And wtf dude u 4got 2 5en meh! Go back and undo the damage! Pfft.
I thought I did fiven : (
-Sorry, I sware I did, but I'll see what I can do, eh?
-Yeah, I'm more into peacefull techno, if it can be called that, lol. Yeah, a follower of the marimba! My pool of people gets bigger! Muahahaha!
-(cough cough), well then, how I get so many reviews? I review people like you, and have them do the same for me, that's all. It works nicely, as you can see.
Thanks for the review!

Cool...
...but repetitive. This really needs expansion. Beat is awesome, all the synths blend together perfectly, now it is simply begging for some melody and dynamical build-up.
The way it is now though, it can serve as a loop for a flash game or something. I just think you can get way more out of it if you dig into your imagination :)
Yeah cool man, i did have plans when i first wrote it. It was meant to be breakbeat style dnb, but when i put all the synths together n pressed play this is what i got :S I'll get it properly one day. Ta for your review mate, n nah i dont think you've ripped off aphex, i just associate creativity with aphex :)
Heck yeah
Cool stuff! Whirlwind of structured chaos, nice stuttery beat, sweet melody, some well-dosed noise elements thrown in for good measure... Very inventive and original. Overall, just a lot to enjoy in less than 2 minutes :)
