Final Chance (Speed Mix)

"Pretty damn good."

date: November 18, 2007

This seems very well produced. Nice melodies, nice drum beats. The vocals are a little weak, but deffinatly a good effort for going with them. Takes a lot of guts to sing over your own music, so much respect.

Very uplifting, very trancy, very well done.

Good work mate, keep composing.

Life in a Stairway

"Ok...."

submission: Life in a Stairway
date: November 18, 2007

Firstly, I can tell you used fruity loops for this and chucked together a couple of the premade samples. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it would have been nice to hear all your own work.

I wouldn't have called this trance either, as I would have gone straight for the miscellaneous category. This piece has some nice elements in it, but doesn't seem very well structured.

Over all, it seemed a little unorganised and there was definately a lack of mastering. Good luck with your next compositions.

Thanks, you hit the nail on the head there. I think this was my second or third song I ever made using the program, still getting to learn it a bit. Thanks for the feedback.

Decompression

"Nice..."

submission: Decompression
date: November 3, 2007

This is a nice composition man, I like it. Very minimal with a bit of dubstep in there which I like. So it's a 5/5 from me.

James

P.S. I know this is really cheeky but do you think you could review my song 'dubstep demo' as I really need some help with what to add to it.

Thanks again.

==(Frozen Planet)==

"Very nice..."

date: October 21, 2007

Frozen planet seems like a very appropriate title for this piece. It sounds very chilled but with that necessary beat to help it glide through.

Good work, I haven't really any criticisms, although the bass kick at the beginning seems a little off time.

Anyway, nice work. Look forward to hearing your next.

I've said it quite a lot of times- the snare rimshot is off on purpose- and well it's based on opinion- I liked it that way myself. If you mean the analog kick, then I don't know- that one's a straight 4 on the floor

Thanks for the review!

Fuck Yourself

"Woah man..."

submission: Fuck Yourself
date: October 18, 2007

Wow man, take a valium. You need to chillax.

But on a more serious note, you need to look at your sound level and be careful of singing/screaming too close to the mic.

Author's Response:

Not easy to sing in a headphone mic ..... But I´ll try to get one

"Another Ambient one..."

I'm liking this alot. What makes you create this sort of music? I'm far to edgy a person to have the time to compose stuff like this. Anyway keep it up, i'm liking it.

I really love symbolic things. Some of my music you have to listen to carfully to understand its meaning. =)

"Synths!!!"

date: October 17, 2007

You've got a really unique style man. It's weird but interesting...

Just keep composing man, you've got something different... and it's talent.

Author's Response:

Wow! You don't know how much that makes me feel. =) Thanks a lot for listening to my music as I did yours!

"Heavy tune..."

submission: (::Running Fox::)
date: October 17, 2007

I well wasn't expecting this after listen to your last songs. I thought you were all about the ambient chilled stuff, but I was wrong. This has a really nice feel to it, pretty trippy in my opinion, which I like.

Anyway, it's another 5 for me man, keep composing, i'm liking you more by the minute.

October 18, 2007

Author's Response:

Thanks! I really do appreciate peoples opinion. I just hate those who vote justt to get their rank up. That's what happened when I posted a message saying listening to my music on the front page. Most newgrounds members are evil instead of light so they randomly voted 0. 0_0 That sucks! Well, Not one of them put a review. Thanks a lot!

"Another chillaxing tune from FatKidWitAJetPak"

submission: (::Running Moon::)
date: October 17, 2007

This is a cool chilled tune man. Nice and slow but with a gentle beat. I don't know why your review score is so low... but i'm voting 5 anyway. Always nice to hear some fresh beats.

Take it easy man.

October 18, 2007

Author's Response:

Like I responded in another review, some of my review scores are low because I posted them on the front page which was a terrible mistake because people on newgrounds are 12 13 and 14 mostly so they just randomly vote 0 to get their rankings up. =P
