"Not a bad piece"

submission: Natural Curiosity

date: November 30, 2008

In fact, I'd go so far as to say that this mellow and nicely paced tune is good work.

I can't really think of where to classify this song, but it seems that my mind is directing me to a man walking down the street, with nothing much to do. His hands in his pockets and he slowly meanders along the road, nowhere to go, no-one to see. A lazy day is a good day in his mind.

"Great remix!"

submission: Sweet Moves (DjD)

date: November 30, 2008

A wonderful piece of work that brings back a classic to my ears. I think that with a little more work, it could be one of the best that I've ever heard - perhaps consider adding the vocal sample back in along some of the lines... either that or get a voice artist to stop by and give you a few samples for the use as either a close approximation, or something different in the sound.

I think that aside from the decent rewriting of the classic, you've also added some nice sounds of your own to make it bigger and better - this isn't a tune that is a tribute to this classic, it's your own piece, that comes forth and makes itself known to one and all.

"Go on the ghost train"

submission: GO77

date: November 30, 2008

A shame about the intro really, as it does sound quite messy, although when it clears up toward the end of the piece, it really does sound the more accomplished of the three pieces.

With a little more clearing up, it could become a really nice piece, which is made more ingenious by the fact that it is only one word being used for the entire piece.

I do feel like the ending of it sounds like a trip around the haunted house, which is a really weird setting for something like this... or so I believed.

"More variation"

submission: GO62

date: November 30, 2008

I'm not sure how to take this series of tunes, as each one seems quite annoying in their own special way. On any loop of longer than 5 minutes, it could certainly get beyond annoying and this one, while better in many different ways from GO30, it doesn't seem like the uses are anywhere near as wide ranging compared to the predecessor.

"Strange... and I like it."

submission: GO30

date: November 30, 2008

I really wasn't sure about this tune when I first listened to it, but then I was reminded of a Bill Bailey sketch, called "Jean Michelle Jarre (Is a Fraud)" If you've ever seen this, I would like to know if you've ever taken some inspiration from this, but regardless of that, this tune certainly instils a sense of urgency about anything that it could be applied to.

The only thing I could have seen done to it would be to make it longer and add some other vocal sample to it like a faint "you're running out of time" in the background. Subtle is the key here, otherwise the whole pretense of the song will be ruined.

"Good work"

submission: AweSome Song

date: November 23, 2008

A song. Like you said.

Try to be a little more descriptive with the information that you give about your work, or people will start to think that it isn't yours ;)

Still, a nice piece, with a good beat and melody, mixed together well. I think that the variation is reall what makes this piece stand out from the rest of the tunes I've heard today, because with the variation, you've not only added another section to the song, but you've added a whole new dimension to it. A shame it wasn't longer really.

"Nice work"

submission: Brass City 2.0

date: November 23, 2008

Another good sound for the people of Brass City. I almost want to go there myself as well. It sounds as if you've taken it further from the original piece, so that's comforting to know.

A good beat and a relatively simple loop of the few notes up and down the keyboard for the staple of it all, followed nicely by a good smattering of variation, that really does count for the marks of this piece - something that's aiming to be epic, but isn't quite there.

Of course, it all depends on what exactly you're aiming for the inhabitants of Brass City to do with their lives. This city sounds like it's a technologically advanced place, so I can quite empathise with the techno sounds that are here to symbolise it.

With a few more tweaks, possibly even a few extra parts, you'd be able to take us on a virtual tour of the place through the music - perhaps a residential district, then a craft quarter, perchance?

"Light and fast"

submission: [Brawl 8-Bit] Green Greens

date: November 23, 2008

I'm not sure about the start of the tune, but other than that, it's a fast paced, slightly higher pitched than needed, but otherwise a good sounding piece.

I think it's another piece that could use extrapolation and may run afoul of copyright rules, but if that's alright then you're onto a winner.

"Nice sounding"

submission: Love Lockdown (jpn4rmx)

date: November 23, 2008

A well written piece of music, that has really been thought about nicely. I loved the way that the lyrics appear to have been written first and the tune was composed around them afterwards.

The surprising thing about this track is that it loops well - tracks that are this long don't tend to, as there is no specific need for them to get past the stop point - this one would probably be mixed with other tracks of similar sound to make an even longer procession of tunes.

A nice sounding tune, I expect more quality like this in future.

"Too much static"

submission: mac8 - dawn after the fight

date: November 23, 2008

There's a good sense of foreboding around this track and it would be nice to take this further, but the main problem that I have encountered with this is the large amounts of static that resonate around the bells and some of the higher pitched notes.

It's got a good chance to be great, but I would also suggest that the pauses are reduced, with something else in the early running of the track, just to keep the momentum going
