"Brilliant, beautiful!"

date: September 17, 2007

I loved this. 5ed it. The melody is so beautiful. The sample use is brilliant. Really well produced and well structured. I'm extremely jealous!

Keep composing man, you've got talent!

"Hmmmm..."

I didn't really see the point of this... if someone were to make a flash animation of a squirrel then surely they could record their own SFX.

The sound quality was also pretty poor...

"Phat tune..."

submission: LifeBringer--_--

This is a sick tune. Congratulations. I have to mention as well that i'm really pleased that you created all the drums yourself, I can't stand it when people just paste a loop in to their songs. Although I recon the drums may benefit from a slightly distorted driving hi-hat rhythm. I know you've got a rhythm over the top, but I think open hi-hats would maybe work well.

The bass line is phat. I can't really criticise. Melody is nice and driving. The strings add extra texture.

Good work, your very talented. I hope this review was some how helpful.

"A review for you.."

submission: LocatingDnB

As your new I thought i'd review. This track isn't bad but I wouldn't go as far to say it's my favourite song. The drums are execelent, so I really really hope that you didn't just find a loop to use and that your created these drum for drum.

In terms of melody, it's good but it it does get a little repetitive. This isn't always a bad thing, but i think towards the end it needs a change.

I like what you've done with the synths, but I personally found a few of them a little tinny. Your bass line is nice but perhaps not bassy enough...

All in all this is a decent drum and bass song, and you've certainly got the potential to write some cracking music!

Keep composing, Jimbobsthebest

Hey thanks for the review.

Unfortunately, yes I did use loops that I found on the internet.

And I'm not saying that that is necessarily a bad thing to do but I understand where you're coming from.

If I could find a drum kit I would be set for life. But I don't have a drum machine to do these things with. So for now, I'm using loops I find on the net.

Sad Song (big Nasty)

"Congratulations..."

date: September 8, 2007

Congratulations PigVomit, you've written a decent song. It's catchy, emotive and interesting to listen to. I would have perhaps been nice to listen to some lyrics, but thats your call.

Good work, keep composing.

"Slower than usual..."

submission: <-Inner-Fire->
date: September 6, 2007

This was very epic... especially when the vocals came in. This isn't one to up and dance to... but it's certainly one to grip you in your seat.

Really well produced, and very well structured. 5/5

"Getting there..."

submission: technoranimator
date: September 5, 2007

Sounding good, and there are plenty of catchy elements in this piece, but I personally think it is lacking that lead that we all love to hum along to. It's fairly well produced although some of the drum kicks seemed a little off time.

All in all its a good effort, and i'm sure I'll hear even better from you in the future.

Turn of Tides

"Fairly good..."

submission: Turn of Tides
date: September 5, 2007

I can see already that you have alot of potential with music making. This is a good song, but it needs to cut out the choir ah's and then bring them back in. It sounds too much when they are carried through the whole piece and it prevents it from properly climaxing.

Hope this helps, Jimbobsthebest

P.S. it's not drum and bass whatsoever, but as a newgrounds catergory it is the only thing which it would fit under.

September 5, 2007

Author's Response:

You're right about the choirs mate, I tried putting them out while making the song but then it'd sound way too empty, IMO at least, so I opted to let them stay throughout the entire song. Might now have been the best or original of choices, but a conscious choice at the very least. But again, you are on the mark about it.

And yes, I was wondering what this would fit under but I had no idea. I opted for DnB. :P
