[Cozy Wednesday Morning]

Nice track, a bit sad in some places but nice. Well done.
I would put softer drums, maybe brushes, but that's just my personal taste :)

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks! I love your jazz tracks and really appreciate the review. :)

This was a project for my MIDI Music Composition class. I was given a basic chord progression (mostly of I, IV, V) and was supposed to sequence a simple drum beat, bass guitar, and block chords on a keyboard instrument. That was way too easy though, so the instructor said I could alter the chords however I like.

I used EZDrummer and didn't have the jazz expansion with brush samples. Otherwise, I'd try my hand at some more traditional jazz. Christmas is coming up though... :)

Thanks again!

[Damage Plan [2012]]

If you want some smashing guitars in your ears, then this is one track you MUST LISTEN !

[Endless Forms]

Nice track, cool harmonies, very well mixed and great choice of instruments. I love the harmonics :)

Buoy responds:

thank you!! I was a bit worried about the mixing because I would always get ear fatigue like hell when making and mixing it. Ended up having to dampen the high frequencies quite a bit

[Wake Up]

Nice track, well performed and pretty well recorded.
Somehow I have the impression that the voice doesn't stand out enough, is a bit too washed off with reverb while the quite dry guitar stands in front of it.
I would either put some more reverb on guitars, or put just some delays on voice, no reverb. Maybe some lo-fi delays on a send could add some nice texture to the track.

[January Rain]

Nice laid back feel, probably because of the not quantized piano. Good choice of instruments, very well fitting together.

[Half Star]

Nice track, a cool combination of electronica with jazz. Very well mixed.

[A New World]

Sounds really cool, nice composition, good mixing and pretty diverse palette of feelings.
Congrats, good job on this.

[ECHO - Eyes Wide Shut]

Cool track, really nice composed.

Echo responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback! :D

[Data Empire]

Not really my cup of tea but good track. Catchy melody, cool harmonies, good mixing, all ingredients for a good track :)
Somehow, the electronics + minor feel makes me think of old band "Zodiac" (and that's a compliment).

GameBalance responds:

Thanks man!

[Fly me to Blue]

My favorite track from NGADM (at least so far). Well, this is unfair, hit me in my weak spot, jazz. This track is complex, very well composed, excellent mix of electronics with live instruments recorded, well mixed and has voice to grab everyone's attention.
Awesome track (reminds me of Zappa, Vai and King Crimson).
