[string takeaway]

great

this is a really great tune, something like Bartok's works
i loved the harmonyes, especially the dissonances

too bad that the quality of the recording isn't what the tune deserve ... at least give it more volume (please)

[Meanwhile, in...]

simple but ...

simple but genial in it's simplicity
i can listen to it going on loop for hours ... the harmonic changes are awesome, also this sounds like a real piano recorded, you can hear when sustain pedal moves and touch the strings ... added to fav's ...
the only bad thing about is the very low score on it :(

[March of the Tankmen (0:43)]

WOW !!!!

as a trumpet player in a symphony orchestra, i heared and played a lot of stuff, so, from this point of view i can say:
this is one of the most well written tune for brass !!!
also, the mixing is well done, quite realistic.
i love the dynamics and the tempo changes

congratulations

WinTang responds:

Thanks dude, it always means a lot coming from you.

[Caravan]

jazzy

caravan is quite a tricky standard with all those changes from swing to latin, great arrangement and quite good performance
i would like a better recording of that but ...
well, nice thing to hear a school band playing quite complicated things

[Festive Overture, Op. 96]

school band

for a school band that is quite good
i always like live performances, those are more "lively" than computer made music
congratulations to players and to the music teacher there

(as much as i respect Winterwind and i like his music i must not agree, a school band is not a professional simphony orchestra)

[Guitar Challenge...Thingy]

melodic

nice and melodic, probably the most melodic solo from the "challenge", actually building up a theme and going with the (weird) harmony i made and getting somewhere
added to fav's already

[Guitar Challenge - June Matrix]

different

a totally different aproach on it, loved it, the electronic sound changed the mood completely, also the line of the ... the ... weird sound (is it synth wah or a weird filter ?) gave a funky/jazzy feel somehow

TomBanks responds:

I'm not exactly sure which part you're talking about. On the cleanish part I used a Crybaby wah pedal, and the part after that is me wanging the mess out of the tremolo bar on my guitar. I used a really cool fuzz box called the Z Vex Fuzz Factory, along with reverb and phaser effects in FL Studio, and the vocoder in FL Studio. Thanks for reviewing my submission man!

[Extravaganza]

nice

nice guitar, from the latin feel chords to the bluesy solo
i don't know if this count as jazz (maybe too rock in some parts) but is a good tune
congratulations

[Oleo by Jazz Republic]

very good

listened many times, every time i discover something new ...
5-d it several times, now, when i see that after so much time have just one review took the time to write one myself also ...
i'm a fan of jazz and i can say, this is the best "Oleo" version here on NG (and i have one myself here) and probably is the only band fitting to jazz section ...
great performance, good sound also, a lot of energy, played very lively, showing knowledge of theory, styles and a lot of talent
great job here
congratulations

[appena un banjo e un baritono]

nice

congrats for front page
everything sounds good, somehow you come lately with very catchy themes
10/10 5/5 and added to fav's
