"he he ..."

submission: Some Fusion

date: May 3, 2008

liked the "Chameleon-ish" groove
nice efects by panning
loved the synth-guitar (being a guitar player i tend to hate those from start)
generally speaking ... welcome to my fav. list (at least this tune)

Score: 10

"nice"

submission: {Vic} Get Going! (Loop Demo)

date: May 3, 2008

this looped several times until i decided to write a review
that means that i liked it ;)
fast tempo, full of energy, not complicated but everything there is efective
from arpegiators to the pad and chord progression, everything fit together perfect
hope to see soon the complete project

Score: 9

"quite nice"

submission: Locked Dreams

date: April 30, 2008

i liked the chord progression on the string section
not a bad mixing
the rhythm was not really going well with the athmosphere of the tune ... but that is just my opinion...
if you cut out the rhythm and put some more instruments you can actually post it into "classical" section ;)

Score: 10

"never heared this before"

submission: "Christ under bond of death."

date: April 25, 2008

nice, good band you have here ;)
probably your stuff is the most apropriate to be under "Classical" label (not like those synth hans zimmer wannabe's that you find on NG classical section)
10/10 and 5/5 because :
is a live recording
is well played with REAL INSTRUMENTS !!!
the band is really good
is labbeled corectly

Score: 10

"powerfull"

submission: Tremble

date: April 25, 2008

first, the mixing, very nice, i like how the low frequencies hit you in the stomach when percution starts ;)
beeing already here, percution part is quite complex, i like especially the bells but also the "Hans Zimmer-ish" fast sequenced one.
where did you found a duduk ? is it a sample or someone recorded it special for this ? (actually you can make similar efects by blowing into a kaval like on trumpet-but don't tell anyone ...)
i always like a piano in a orchestral part (not as a solo instrument)
i don't know what software you use but the bass trombone (or what is that low brass instrument) sounds quite realistic
_____________________________________
_
even that i gave 10* i still find things that i would do in other way:
the duduk seems to play more like modal and the orchestra don't really follow (seems to me like going on the harmonic minor ... i would try to go more like modal harmonies and/or give a more "oriental" sound also to the orchestra ... but that is just my opinion

on & on, this is a very good tune, i already added to my fav's

Score: 10

"well ..."

submission: Jazzy Thoughts

date: April 22, 2008

you say "this isn't standard jazz " but i feel like i disagree, this is jazz (jazz-fusion, jazz-rock ... whatever you call it), from the complex harmony to the bass groove, from the concept of having theme(head)- impro/solo and then again the theme ...
thin is not only jazz, this is QUALITY jazz, i loved it
: just added to my fav's
5/5 and 11/10 (if possible)

Score: 10

"loved"

submission: A Thousand Times

date: April 22, 2008

i just loved the kazoo solo
is it hard to learn to master that marvelous/ fabulous instrument ?
from the first guitar notes you can tell is a studio quality recording, the panned guitars give a lot of space, also the voice aranging is good
congratulations

Score: 10

"10 all the way"

submission: Arpegio Study [Guitar Collab]

date: April 21, 2008

well, after liatening that i'm kind of speachless
i added to my fav's
i would like to listen it more, but my speakers are on fire ... guess it was WAY TOO FAST !!!
5/5 10/10

Score: 8

"glad you made this"

submission: Arpegio study (guitar collab)

date: April 20, 2008

for me that means that you liked enough to give it a try
lead guitar is a little bit too loud (for me) but have the right sound
i like the feeling that give the wah soloing, this bring more "life" to it
...........
now the things that might be improved:
the solo is kind of atonal, i like atonal things when those are made in certain points of the solo (and then coming back to tonal or modal)
maybe helps you if i'll give you the chord progression
G#minor and E minor
first each chord going one bar, then each chord going half of a bar, then going on each time and back (on the outro) on one chord / bar
on&on this solo show quite a good technique
