[{GBD} Below the Atmosphere]

Fun

Below the atmosphere meaning right where we are. Funky and bit fuzzy trancy sounds. Has some suspense feeling to it. What instruments did you use? Some sound like flutes or maybe more like a piccolo. Maybe if you had some darker synths this song could then fit in a scary scene in a video game. However as it is, maybe a night scene at a twisted carnaval could work. Clowns are annoying. Again a really messed up song which makes the originality perfect. You should have used the choir more. Really gives the spooky feel. I'm not sure if the song is diverse. I am preoccupied with thinking about clowns that I don't even pay attention to diversity. I'll leave it at that. Unique as always and a fair ending. (My english sucks...past tense and present tense alternations) Bye for now. 5

P.S. I'm not afraid of clowns...I punch them clown bean bags. I'll sleep fine tonight. :)

[The Purest of Winters]

Hah your joking right?

I read one of your responses to a review in the "Stop Motion Symphone" So this MUST be a remix. Since you can't read theory and like MJTTOMB said, you don't know what a symphony means...I'm really impressed how you can still come up with something like this just by listening to the original. Your real potential will come out when you take the time to learn piano and theory. It shouldn't be too hard for you since alot of theory requires a good ear. Anyway to bring unoriginal classicals to NG is soo nice of you. I can listen to them for free..of course your instrument version but still gets the job done. I heard this song in a movie and as usual forgot which movie. I've always wondered why you called yourself milk man? The only downfall with this song is the ending. Was not the best but everything else is good. 5/5 and 9/10 rev. (Remixes don't get a 10 by me...unless you actually made the original and it got onto the movie I forgot....but that would be impossible if you can't play piano or do theory..unless your lying :) )

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Hello all, I was passing through and I noticed this Gem of a review.

Honestly... I'm not entirely sure what your saying here mate.

This song is 100% Original... a fact which will be confirmed over the years since I'm sure no one will ever find a song like it. If you believe you heard it in a movie once, I would imagine it only sounded similar, but thats about it.

"Anyway to bring unoriginal classicals to NG is soo nice of you."

I smell sarcasm sir... and I'm no stranger to it.

"but that would be impossible if you can't play piano or do theory"

Ahem... I play the piano... very well I might add... however I do not know nor write theory. 13 Straight years of playing the piano night after night by ear... has given me the great ability to simply play what I want in my mind and translate it to the piano with ease.

Your review is rather insulting... and I figrued I'd take the chance to correct you.

When I return... and I will return folks... you are not going to know what hit you guys.

[Myth277 - Dance!!]

Lez see...

Your alias name got my attention. Are you a myth tfl fan (bungie game)? Umm for this song you need to add alot more stuff. For only a hour it's a great attempt but compared to other trance songs well its not quite there yet. It does have a haunting feeling to it so it doesn't make me dance. Nice strings use. Like you said..this song is just ok. Since your score is too low I'll give you a 5/5 and a 8/10 rev. Glad you had fun. Bye for now

myth277 responds:

Ya dude i dont know its just a name ive been usin for a while. Ya i know i could have done better but i was bein lazy that day....but thx for the review dude. Ill try and make it better and post the new version.

[Novas]

Has a journey kind of feel

To me it sounds like I'm travelling into space. A fun ride but too many stops. Some parts just didn't match too good. There isn't too much rhythm change but a crazy cool guitar. I was expecting a real journey, but I just got a small sample. If you changed the theme more often (you only have 1 theme in this song!) then it would have felt like a full fledge journey. Oh well...I enjoyed it while it lasted. Next time make sure your crazy sounds remain in key...especially that weird high pitch noise. Maybe add more divere patterns too. Besides that a great job for only your second. 5/5 and 9/10 rev. Bye for now

Dj-UnKnOwN responds:

Thanks for the review! Yea, It does make a lot of stops, following a rev kick, but i tried to make it all flow well, instead of an abrupt melody change. I'll be sure to watch out for that.

[The Lab]

Something new for me

I barely review industrial music. Sorry in advance for a crappy review. The song doesn't remind me of a lab. Lots of cool industrial sounds. A bit fuzzy...not sure if you purposely made it fuzzy. To me it sounds like a mini boss battle...in a factory. :) Those drums go crazy sometimes. It was getting a bit repetitive but you changed into something quite calm. Too bad its soo short. I thought you were entering into a new theme. I actually liked this industrial song better than "Helix" industrial song. Yours isn't all distorted sounding, but then I have no clue what is good industrial and bad. Just go by what I think sounds good to my ears. So to be safe on the marking I'll give you a 5/5 and 9/10. That fuzziness kinda bothered me but everything is good. A tad more diversity too would be nice. Bye for now

Sephora responds:

Some industrial can be distorted, and mostly I do lean towards it. Although, too much distortion can sometimes be overkill to the ears. It's just a matter of opinion, but I appreciate the comment.

[i Aint scared fuck DJ-DatMix]

hello again

Ppl giving you a hard time? Its always nice to see two guys resolve their issues peacefully. So I'm assuming no more hate songs to this DJ DatMIX?....which I think is a cool alias name. Not too much is going on here. The clapping loop with the shakers, few hits of the tom tom drums and whatever that lead instrument you used pretty much sums up this song. I can see this song working great with lyrics. You got some lyrics coming soon in your next projects? It would really make this song stand out alot. However without the lyrics its a decent loop. It's well mastered in clarity so good job on that. Not sure if you like dance music but can you sample my latest? Okay so till next time, bye for now. 5 and 8/10 rev.

[SPF-Everything]

2 new songs?

Since you asked for comments I give you some. Great playing with the electric guitars. Bit fuzzy but sounds still great. However when the vox came in the song died. Sorry whoever in your band did the vox. Your voice needs to mature more before it sounds good. Give it maybe 4-5 more years. Too childish of a voice. Despite this all I'm impressed that you and your band took the time to put vox in a song. To think up lyrics is also a chore so kudos. Overall I'll give you a 5 and a 9/10. I need comments too :) Oh a tip...don't 5 your own songs. Bye for now

packertim3 responds:

ya my friend in the band did the vox, we dont wanna wait 5 years to play though

[(FW) Journey's End]

:) Makes me feel are fuzzy

Yeah sure I've heard some tune similar to this in a video game....maybe mario tennis? I forgot. Anyway its new from you so good originality. Its very happy I might add. Hopefully ppl will download this song. No one seems to like happy music. Hopefully yours and my new song...which you already know about will change the common view on happy songs. I don't know how to describe the beginning. Its awesome yet familiar. I see you rushed the description. !!1 Forgot the shift key on the last one. Somewhat of a short song, but gets the job done nicely. I can see you put lots of effort in. Almost a months work of thinking. It annoys me how overrated some ppl are on NG. You are definately underrated on this site. Oh well, their loss for not visiting your music stuff. So far out of all the new ppl on NG that I hoped would rapidly grow in musical talent; you are truly one that I believe has proven my expectations. Keep it up. I like being right. :) Thanks for proving me right. 5 and 10 on such intriguing instrument choices. You got my download too. Bye for now

wolf-tech responds:

thanx alot. i wasn't trying to make it sound like any other tune but once i finished it i noticed it sounded kinda familar. it kinda reminds me of one of the mario themes and a little bit of final fantasy. and fyi i did rush the description. ttyl and keep the reviews coming.

[{F-777} Dream Addiction]

Good idea F-777

This is what I've been waiting from you. Its good that you took more patience in making your songs. They sound so much better when you spend many hours. ZB spends like a month making his music...no wonder his are usually really good. I'm trying to follow his example. Catchy stuff is hard to come by in those songs ppl make in like 2 hours. Your 18 hours has produced a catchy beat. I hope all your future songs take a long time to make. Lez see....18 hours in two days? You must of been really dedicated to finishing this song. I can sense your moving more toward the "NG" trance with that typical trance bass and drums that like so many fruity loopers use. Ehh oh well. First time I heard it from you so its all good. I really like the spacy trancy synths you used. I like anything that sounds atmosphery so you can have my 5. Have fun making music. Bye for now.

F-777 responds:

Thanks! And no im not really moving towards the trance i try a million different styles all the time. Most just dont end up especially good so i dont post them. =D

And yes i will definately be spending more time on my songs in the future.

Thanks for the 5!

[Love Island [EON Remix]]

Sorry bout this one

I guess your a remix artist, but making your own song (so not a remix) would really make you more original. I recognize alot of these sounds which you seem to keep on recycling. Sure putting a lil different plugins on top of the sounds changes it a bit but not enough. Eg that scream which I think you put a filter on. Also where the sound just fades out in the background and comes back in....hmm you used that too in I think your speed of sound or universe city song. I also noticed that sound you used in euphorium. Hard to explain what "that" sound I'm referring to, but I think you understand. At least the drums are different. A few special effects are different too. The beat changes from time to time, but nothing really difficult. For someone who never heard any of your previous song, they would love this song. However I'm not new to your song and style. So in short, change things up with the instruments (Yes a few are new but too much unoriginal sounds). Also maybe a more original rhythm. Besides that you did good in mastering this track. Like the panning going on. Reminds me of Jet Set Radio Future music. Bye for now

EON responds:

I guess you're right, I really should use some different techniques, but then I like to stick to what I know because I'm good at it, and people seem to like it.
I shall take your comments on board, keep em coming.
