[Heart of Melodies (v1.1)]

Lovely

Hmm, this is a piano based piece sold around the lights of ones heart and soul unto thou's feeling for whatever it is that is most important to you. That said, it is done quite well and I've noticed a couple things. Ok, so the sound quality isn't the greatest...but at the same time that presents opportunities. 00:22 the first truly bad quality note is played...but at the same time it feels as if had you not had the static that one note would have been fantastic...in other words I think this could go soooo much further then just a simple piano...in fact by itself it is simply fantastic (-points for the quality...what can I say =\). The composition spreads out and takes a person into their own world...it is a piece written from the heart not the mind...this I can understand because whenever I manage to get my hands on a piano I do much the same. I will be PMing you with a request and if you like I can also include some of the ideas that are running through my mind right now. Bear with me.

[Lost Dynasty - F-777]

-looks at votes- ooook...I'll just ignore that...

First off this is quite the piece, its all over but in this case thats a good thing. I noticed some repetition in the piece...but in the end all the good things override the bad so I can't really say much. I don't think that score (at the time of this writing it is at a 4.98 w/ 31 votes) is...how to say it, real...but who am I to judge.

4ing ya, not my type so no download here but it is good nonetheless.

31 votes = msn friends =).

Thanks for your time and awesome review!

[[LY] Psychadelic]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...yep

First off, IT LIKES THAT ONE [ONE] (ONE) <-are you getting the idea here? IT LIKES TO REPEAT THE BACKGROUND BEAT TOO MUCH. But, it is a good beat, so you only lose a point there. Your timing in this song is near impeccable, only one area that could have been better, but that area tends towards creating a nitch in the brain that I just kinda try to ignore it ^^. Saying Psychadelic in the song is a no-no here, you may think it sounds good but something else could have been better. It has the reverse effect and makes the song less-so. Your intro was great and unique...if a little obviously played out. When you/that thing says >life< life> you should have jumped over to the left side headphone as well and ended with the echo bouncing back and forth between the two sides. Heck, having the voice feel like its 'walking' from one side of the speaker set to the other would have really been trippy if done right. I could go on...but I am tired and this is a good song.

Oh, btw, I downloaded this and was decided to be nice and 5/5 it as well. It is a high-four for me but hell, I feel generous. Good-luck with it! ;D

la-yinn responds:

Thanks a bunch for the detailed review! ^_^

I'll see what I can do. I was pondering whether or not to make the delay jump from left to right and back but decided against it at the time. I'll try it out though.

Sitting here...chilling...and WHAM

Ok, imma just chill here, listen to the first minute or so, oh nice piano really gets the feel...ok, windy...windy....01:15 brings in some nicely panned strings and a catchy if mysterious piano...still chilling. Ok, chilling........WHOA WTF DID THAT...ahem, ok then, 01:50 or so it hits into a slightly chilly step vibe with that percussion, not bad, I could hang with this, throw in some strings and maybe a choir...owait here we go. Ah, great job on the background choir here, it blends nicely with the strings and fits as a wonderful cover for the percussion. Your ending creeps in on the bones and feels like it could have been persuaded to have been better overall. But in the end it is a decent song...just lacking in some regards.

zeroslugfm responds:

appreciate the feedback. To say I didn't put in a transition for the main chorus...well it's pretty obvious. I had a few pieces in the works but didn't quite fit and were cut to get the demo out. I'll definitely work on the things you hit on there.

[Reborn After Lost Something]

Hmm...

The intro was interesting and kept me going simply because I wanted to hear what would come. At first I thought that it wasn't really going anywhere and when it did drop down it threw me off for a moment and I wasn't sure what I was hearing. Slightly past the one minute mark you simply repeat the same set over and over while leading into a more complex them based around...well...I am not completely sure what that instrument is. Anywho, middling out I find that you bring in a more calming feel and a basic area which leads into more repeating. Thing is the repetition in this song isn't bad, it keeps you going but frankly I started getting bored just after the middle of the track as it felt like it slid back into an area that was already visited and all the sites were seen already. I can really see this turning from an Ambient track into something with more of a epic classical feel or simply a classical feel period. Not bad, not bad at all.

-AJ-

Oh, and the ending to this piece is horribly lacking. It shuts down far too fast. Might I suggest something like placing the reverbed piano/thingy that was used in the beginning in the end and letting it fade/echo away. It would really help.

djeff responds:

Thanks for your comment, I will do more variation in my song.

[KTR/WF1 Moments of Inspiration]

Quality stuff o.o

First off, the 9 up above is only because I felt that though it was really good there were somethings that felt that they were missing. Maybe its just me, but an octave choir might be sporty in here and maybe some slight ambience...dunno...don't listen to me ._.

I do hear a choir, I just think that perhaps it should bring the level of the song a bit higher instead of sitting in the background. It feels nice back there, but I truly think it could be better.

Was going to give it an 8, but imma be nice and leave it at 9. Good job, and though it feels unfinished it certainly is retaining that potential. Gonna download it regardless though...it is good o.o.

Note: Great drums, they fit in nicely, somewhat repetitive though.

KTRECORDS responds:

Thanks for the feedback Cosmos. We'll see what we can do about spicing those choirs up for ya!

[Edge of Faith]

You know...

Awhile back I created a composite list of the best that the newgrounds audio portal has to offer (at the time). I am now sure that I made the correct decision when I placed you on that list next to Danman and Soundshifter. Fantastic job.

-AJ-

NemesisTheory responds:

Really? I never saw that! :(
I'm happy you find me one of the best though, even though it's totally not true XD

Thanks for the review and support :))

[~EnV~Come Home]

I saw it...

I saw EnV and I was...ok...wait...wait...no can't remember...OSHT. So I clicked on it and sure enough, just like you to do something like this ;3. It sounds good overall, doesn't feel like your best, but it is good nonetheless.

Maybe a dl for me, not sure, imma 5 it to be nice though ;D.

[Wyze - WF1 Tribute]

omfg

I know Wyld quite well and this just made me laugh my ass off...mostly because it is something I KNOW he'd do XD. Wow, I'm going to have to give him a hard time now XD.

It sounds good though :3

Blasphem-E responds:

Haha, thanks for the review. And Yes, I'm sure he enjoyed it
