[Accoustic Lullaby]

Sequenced?

I'm thinking you didn't play that on a guitar, but the composition is there anyway. I'd 5 ya if you could pick it clean on a 6 string! [yaaaaawwwwwnnnnnn] Keep playin, I'm going to bed...

LL

Aephion responds:

*chuckles*
Thanks a lot ^_^
You guessed right, this ís sequenced ^_^

[GuilmonX - Say V2]

bow chicka wow

That's a kickin bassline man! I like all the EQ things going on during the piano breakdown part. Let's hear more out of that kick though.

It doesn't really have any form, but I must say that's kinda what makes it cool. It is definitely chaotic. Do you think anyone could play a set that fast? Haha, that'd be a miracle. Keep rockin em baby!

LL

TheCon-Sept responds:

I am going to be performing some of my music live with a band that me and some of my friends are putting together... We are trying real hard to play everything at that pace in perfect score. I barely have enough money to buy a keyboard though. I have to start practicing my insane piano licks.

I have already created another version of this sone but its not uploaded yet... Even I think the drum line isn't well tuned enough but I guess it makes it sound more ambient.

[<KZ> Underwater Chills]

doo dee dooodoood ooooo sssplash

LOok at you on the front page twice. Mooofugga! I like the cool whale-ish sounds. This one is fun, puts me in a cool driving mood...I think it would be great for a video game. The parts work well together, especially the chimy part and the bassline. Would like to hear you add some sort of change up other than when the lead goes off on its own thing. Keep kickn it my man!

Much better with the EQing this time...Way ta be!

LL

Kirizzle responds:

w00t! Being on teh front page is niiicee, even if I'm not in the top 20 places, some people still come across my songs ^_^

Great for a video game you say? Maybe if the game was called "Underwater Whale Adventures" or something, haha.

I think having another change-up would be totally beast, but I have no ideas on what I'd change-up =/ I'll think about it some and see if anything comes to me.

Thanks for teh review, manng!

[Reinvention (5min34sec)]

Damon

Chord progression = majesty

And you know how I feel about portamento leads.

Let's go! Yes, I love it but you need a filth-y saw-y lead-y. I picture a GrimReaper-Lead and his cloak is soaked in blood(y effects).

Testicles.

[Beyond Repair (3min 52sec)]

Great choice of bass

Dude, this killer. I might even go into shroom relapse. Come back soon, we need to play.

MEEEEEEEEEEE

[-=LJC=- Rain]

chillin'

Your sound design is unsurpassed. A true genius of sound. The ambience is very strong in this one. Sets the mood with grace.

The full drums are interesting but a little busy. Other than that, the pluck is crisp and doodads (as Brian and I have come to call them). Oh, and good use of delay.

Drop an email sometime...let me know what you're up to. See ya round.

LL

LJCoffee responds:

Hey man! - I will do that - email PM etc.

"genius of sound" and "unsurpassed" are pretty strong terms - I don't really consider myself either to be honest. Besides I don't actually make any of this crap - I pay local kids to do it for me then I pass it all off as my own.

:D

[-=LJC=- Peace through OTC's]

jewwwowneddit

Man, you are the beat-master! I want that. Great sound design as usual. It has a fun ambience to it. What's it for, out of curiosity...it sounds like web music. Great either way.

LJCoffee responds:

Hey Layman! - it really wasn't for anything - I was really REALLY doped up on over the counter meds - had a flu or whatever and tried to kill it with bottles of dex. this sounded so cool while under that particular influence that I decided to post it up here.

thanks for the review - hit me with an email - later.

[Hitler hacks Linux (preview)]

well shit...all 10's. You deserve it

Pretty hardcore sounding. Great beat, and it mixes well with the rest of the song. It's very hectic, but it really works.

Only halfway done eh? The first thing that pops into my mind is to have a totally contrasting part that is smooth, flowing and acts somewhat as a resolution. However, it is only a short vision because it can't keep the chaos at bay.

Haha, just a thought. Cool stuff mang!

LL

WinTang responds:

Thanks heaps for the full marks! Yay.

That is a great idea you gave me. I've already progressed further into the song, but I hadn't thought of such a contrasting part. I'll come up with something. But the ending is going to be mean. Very mean. (So was Hitler, I've been told.)

I'll finish somewhere in the next few days, but please everyone keep the reviews coming, it's an experiment and I can use a lot of feedback.

[Postal Service vs. Album Leaf]

Remixxxxxxxx

This is a pretty cool concept. I love the Postal service and you mixed these tracks together very well. It gets a little sloppy towards the end, but I still enjoyed for the most part.

LL

Discouragement responds:

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks, especially since you're a Postal Service fan. I made this song while I was 15 using Acid Pro, so I'm still fairly new at it, plus I haven't had criticism for my work yet, so this helps. Thanks!

[Khuskan - Angels]

great composition

The cello riff is sculpturesque. I love the high strings. But in my opinion, I would have changed the middle strings for an ambient flowing pad.

I'm loving the arrangement, all the pieces answering eachother. I'm thinking a different sound selection and design (like hear pounding drums and electric guitar, maybe even some synths) could give this classical piece a real cool feel to it.

Well written either way.

See ya Khuskan,
LL

Khuskan responds:

Well the problem with adding pounding drums, electeric guitar and synths would take the track away from what it is - A romantic-modern orchetral medly. This track and march together were both the first tracks I've fully written for the sole purpose of them actually being physically possible to play, and I look forward to the day I muster enough musicians to see that through.

Still, you're more than welcome to remix ;-)
