[We Dream to Fly]

why ... oh why ?

why do you make music that good :))
I don't know what software you use but sounds very realistic, from guitar to strings section ... love the tempo changes also
5/5 10/10 fav'ed

[-Song1-]

awful

awful but funny (in a way)
clipping in some places (that should be fixed) try to lower the volume or put a compressor on it

procow responds:

It kind of clips because the left and right channels didn't record from the gameboy to the computer... Because of the fact that it was indeed made with a gameboy I cannot put a compressor on it or it would defeat the purpose of using a gameboy.

[Short Tension]

so much for short

great track, building CRAZY tension, sounding pretty realistic too.
love the dynamics and tempo changes, great construction.

5/5 10/10 added to fav's

[Respite in Eb major]

nr 51

my review is the 51 ... but that's absolutely not important.
the overall sound of this one is BIG and generous, the big chords on the piano reminds me of Rachmaninoff , also the harmony progression ...
on apparently simplicity there are quite complex progressions going
if this is "First song of the new year" I guess you started the year very well

5/5 10/10 added to fav's

[Soft Jazz jam]

noisy

the idea is not bad, but to me seems kind of messy (no structure, no theme)
mixing is AWFUL!!!
first, noise on the guitar (guess no grounding),
second, drums sound like you recorded from a far cd player (instead on making the mix in the computer)
third, no panning AT ALL, sounds like a mono mixing to me

didn't vote because I don't want to give a bad vote (I hate 0-voters myself, so ...)
hope you'll improve

BloodFest responds:

Weill, it's an improvisation dude, give me a break haha.
Im not a jazz guitarrist, I play metal most of the time, but thanks alot for your feedback.

[Shadowman's Journey]

dark

very dark feeling, the filtered percussion (or what is there) have a creeping effect, the bells give a solemn feel.
btw, Shadowman 1 is one of my favorite games ;) ... Michael LeRoi, fighting evil with dark forces ... in the original comics he was a jazz musician turned into Shadowman by a voodoo priestess ...
your track would do a very good job in the game (or a movie ... I can imagine Deadside on this)

popraz responds:

Thank you for the awesome review ! I actually had the game in mind when i made this song. Loved it !

[[Dud] Into the Light (MAC08)]

nice

not perfectly played, not perfectly recorded but very good concept and LIVE RECORDED a real piano !!! well, if only for that and deserve 5 bombing from time to time.
the modal theme, the "ad libitum" feel make it "dreamy"
5/5 10/10

Dudidum responds:

Yea, imperfection FTW!^^
Well I can't fix that unless I'd go for professional playing.
I must say that my concepts are often only vague and change sometimes even during the recording sessions.

Thanks for the review and the bombing 5!

[==(Cloudclimber)==]

relaxing

reminds to me of "Tangerine Dream" (one of my favorite bands, best albums "Underwater Sunlight" and "Turn of the Tides")
nice touch with the effects, kind of reminding me of whales ... that fit with the sea in the background of the pic.
5/5 10/10 added to fav's already

[Aeronautics]

already

There are some very good tracks for this MAC, I already 5-ed some of those, fav-ed 3, this one included.
Chilled feel, complex lines and rhythms on a pedal like harmony.
Well mixed ... what else to say than "Congratulations" ...

Quarl responds:

Thanks sir! I understand you'll be making something for the comp as well. I can't wait to hear what you have cooking.

[Oleo {SSM}]

AWWWwwww...

Almost hurts to hear something THAT good.
Very interesting reharmonization, cool slightly distorted Rhodes, amazing phrasing, everything put together in a very original way.
You let me speechless but somehow I found words for a short review.

SSM-NW responds:

You're too kind, as always.

Thanks for your very gracious review and wonderful comments. Coming from you, a true artist, this is certainly an honor!

Best to you.
