Groovy and smooth.
Still, lack of a real instrument soloing over and as construction is strange how in the middle (where should be the peak) the energy goes sort of...off.
Author's Response:
The jazzman himself, I'm honoured, hehe. ;)
The middle is the place where I want a nice saxophone melody kicking in. I have yet to find a nice saxophone vst, so I've left that spot empty for now. I do see where you are coming from.
Appreciate the review!

That's right, simple and effective.
That could create great atmosphere in a Flash movie or game.

Simple = Win
Simple harmony over a catchy groove.
The bass line reminds me of squarepusher (and that's a compliment). A nice touch to the track is Rhodes.
10/10, 5/5 fav'ed

Good performance, good guitar sound too bad that the recording/ mixing is not at the level of the music :(
There is clipping, BAD clipping, there is lack of stereo field in voices and the solo guitar smash everything else down... other way, could have been one of my favorites.

Quite good performance, a bit plucky sound but other way, quite good recording too.
It's not a Decca Classic recording but good enough to make a great soundtrack to any Flash movie of game.
Author's Response:
Thanks bro! And you are right about the plucky sound...I just couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

All the good things are obvious.
The voice remind also to me of Metallica, the choice of effects is good too.
Composition is good, all the parts blend together very well.
As for mixing, voice should stand out a bit more, I would push it at least 3 db more.
As I see vocal music, voice is the most important element.
Also from guitars I would eq off some of the low frequencies so the bass line stand out more.
Author's Response:
Thanks man. I agree with you on all points. However, I personally didn't like the vocals much louder. But the guitars, I have been hemming and hawing over...so this helps a great deal. :D Thanks my dude. (Plus my bass playing was a bit shitty, so I kinda buried it in the mix) :D

Man, oh man... not a bad track, but it's clipping like hell, hurting not only ears but also soundcards, headphones and everything else involved into sound.
You can lower a little bit the volume and put at least a compressor/limiter on the master buss.
A free one (good) is Kjaerhus Master Limiter, google on it, you'll find it ;)
Or search on the Audio Forum for "Best Free VST Effects", there I posted a link.
Author's Response:
Thanks Man,
The quality's pretty useless at the minute anyway, it's mostly just the concept now, and I'll master it properly once I'm happy with the composition.

I'm glad that you found my sample/loop pack useful.
Soon I'll put those up as acidized files, will be easier to match tempo and put on the right beat (that's why I gave you only 8*, could be better with arranging the tracks on the beat).
But i vote 5 because it's Jazz and it's creative in the piano improvising.

Thanks for the feedback, and again for the samples!

Actually nicer than just nice.
Impressive effects, especially when comes in the piano.
Quite a dark feeling, very "Aphextwin-ish" in a way.
Also hanx for putting the samples up man.

You are definitely one of my favorite guitar players and ain't talking about Newgrounds ;)
Maybe I repeat myself but your style reminds me of Alex Skolnick, very melodic, with very strange and beautiful harmony...
5/5 10/10 added to fav's
Author's Response:
Thanks for the kind words, awesome to be among your favourite guitarists :). I've just listened to some Alex Skolnick - I didn't know him before - and I have to say he's a very good guitarist, I'm glad you compare me to him. Thanks for the review Mihai.
