[_-={The Journey}=-_]

To light and then to dark...

To light and then to dark, that one footfall will tell a story of fate for one man. Having lost his beloved, betrayed by others he thought were friends. Setting his feet on the ground he turns to look at the place that he has called home all these long years. A tear down his face, the rain begins to fall, he can hear the Drums of war being played in the distance. Turning his face to the sky he allows the rain to pelt the grief from his soul, and so does he plead to make amends and seek out vengence against those that sought to destroy all he is and all he will be. As if his plea is heard, thunder roars drowning out the drums, and a break in the clouds shows him a blue sky, hope maybe, but he shall avenge his beloved. Turning he sets down the road to which not even a god can foresee his fate, he himself has changed his own destiny and now will he find that path to which strength leads. So as darkness envelopes him, the cry of the wind stops, its as if the world feels his pain, it last only for a moment...but for those with the sense, a battle like none other was building and history shall never forget the man who brought about the Fall of a Kingdom.

Again I deviate from what others had said...but I like it...

MaestroRage responds:

A brilliant story Cosmo! At first I thought this review was meant for Wrath of a Broken Soul, as it sits very well with that too, yet on careful consideration this story works flawlessly with this piece as well. It's exciting to read a story that blends in so perfectly with two different songs! I'm used to reading different stories for the same piece, so you can understand my intrigue here.

The deep and horrible journey the man will take, will no doubt crush his soul, and rip apart morals. In order to do what he wants to, he will become a monster, and he will have to smile all the while.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the late response!

[_-={Apocalypse}=-_]

Set in and out...

The sun has just risen, from the tier of the castle can you see images of horror being played throughout this once amazing landscape, horror like that only seen in the stories of old. The dead are strewn across this razed land, brutal murders sought by those on either side. A once beautiful forest, now ash, is seen in the distance, the life of that wood being used to lay siege upon this now war strewn kingdom. Tears come to your eyes, but short is this morning for the call to arms comes up. Hands on the stone in front of you, you let a tear, just one tear fall from your eyes. Gone is the memory when you could stand in that very spot and look out across the landscape. Odulfare, once bright with life, is now dead in the winds off time. Turning, you look one last time at the landscape you still call home, your fists clench and in your hatred will you banish those foolish enough to step upon your doorstep. "To war, to battle," you whisper anguish and anger make your voice quiver..."To war..."

I dunno...that is what this song brings out for me...

[==(Goodnight)==]

I like this...

That piano...the lower one...I wonder if perhaps the volume could have been lowered for it in the beginning...it seems to drown out everything else everytime it plays. That...what is that, sounds like a flute is really nice, shreaking though it is.

1:29 you throw in a nice beat...all in all it sounds nice, though I think more notes on the "left side of the piano" would have added more emotion to this. In all I like it, and as you said, Calm and beautiful...

Keep them coming!,

[The Perfect Breeze]

Doesn't sound right...

You had a really nice beat going in the beginning and I was waiting to hear something magnificent...but then at around 00:15 you brought in the choir Aahs that sounded distorted to the point that the audio just did not sound that good anymore.

00:45 not bad...that low drum could go.

01:03 Overdriver Guitar...I can't say that this is really dance though...I just don't feel the swing that Dance music usually has..

I am sorry man...this one could have been pretty damn great, but dance it is not.

Keep trying, I started out with some interesting pieces too :P
-AJ-

Good beats and the snapping of the finger was a decent add.

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Oh ok. It's no problem actually lol. I'm using my first mix program where you don't just copy and paste samples XD. Since it doesn't sound so much like dance, I'm going to try and remix it and make it sound more...dance worthy. But hold out on me, I'm only 15 lol. (And a girl)

[Flying Cap Remix]

Hmm...

Hmm...you got a three...not sure why, this deserves a four. Its good, that new age?/bell combo(?) that you used throughout most of the song was nice but it did seem a little bit loud at points, which kinda threw the rest of it off (not bleed the ears loud...but a piercing loudness at points).

You want a couple tips here?...

Double up on the drums...
Clone the new age/bell track(s) and move the entire track forward and around a bit till you find something that fits and sounds good. The dings (what? XD) sound good...but I think that they would sound better had they had more beats overall.
Longer my friend, longer...maybe double the length with additional variety.

You know...its not that bad^^, its not bad at all,
-AJ-

CrimzonWolf777 responds:

Te dings (no homo) are from the same sound and if the notes go higher you won't be able to hear them. And like I said...I may do more to it but i'm not sure...oh and thx for giving it a four and I'm glad you like it!! ^_^v

[The Daylight Burning :I:]

Read what Karco stated...

I think that my title shows my standing on this one ;P

[Mountains beneath]

I like it :)

In the beginning you have this fast paced melody that I really liked...in my mind I can hear a subtle echo to it, and maybe a couple slightly off-time tracks to give it that extra emotion...I think the New Age Pad would be nice here :D.

Those "beats" (to keep it simple here), that pop up around 00:24 are nice...but I think that in someways they are somewhat unnecessary...they just don't feel like they REALLY add to the audio. Sorry T.T

00:39 The strings make themselves known...and I must say that you did a great job with those...I just wish that they had stayed in longer...GOD this audio has so much potential!!! T.T.

01:48 You start with a higher pitched area with the strings that I liked...though I am hearing it being played to a great rise in drama with the piece...it just sounded like you could have kept the strings going, adding another track with more orchestral strings in it, and maybe some type of horn...not sure which...man...the hair is rising on the back of my neck just thinking about it =.=.

01:52 RIGHT HERE! This is where I would have just let the note slide for a bit and THEN introduced the tracks that I am talking about above...man oh man........T.T REMAKE THIS ONE! XD.

I dunno...it is your choice...regardless, you did a good job here...I just believe that this could have been so much greater than it already is...and um...pardon my craziness...its late, I am tired, and I am pretty damn sure that this is my alter ego talking XD.

Cya!

[Donkey Kong - Ambiant Ocean 2]

Excellent...but

I have always liked this audio...in fact I went on a little search awhile back and found the original track for download on a now forgotten site. I must say though that you really worked on this audio and did a great job on it. The reason that this is not a 10/10 is due to the fact that some of the instruments are slightly too loud and those same instruments seem like they could blend in with the rest of the song a bit better. Other than that I would have to say that you did a great job with a great classic...keep 'em coming!

[==(Rain Outside)==]

Heh...wow o.o

Excellent panning throughout the song...especially in the beginning when it is far more noticable. This audio has a very...nostalogic feel to it as it just flows nicely into each instrument and back out again. It is very slow...but that gives it a calm feeling that is hard to reproduce in any genre. Highly unusual to hear something like this in newgrounds...regardless, I think that my stumbling across this one was a great spot of luck. You obviously know what you are doing, but I don't care...keep up the great work!

You are now on my favorites list :D...not that it matters, you probably have plenty of people who have you on theirs :P.

[Dj Harlock - It's a Shrug]

It sounds...odd XD

I really didn't like it that much...BUT I rate them as I hear them and try to give a fair score overall.

SO...

It flowed nicely...the instument tracks coincided with each other making something that sounded odd...but strangely nice. I am not one to really give reviews...but I say keep it up...and oh, fix the ending, its far too abrupt.
