[One Chaoz]

Chaotic, catchy and cool - what could be better?

That's one really catchy melody. Drums are fantastic, and although it's slightly repetitive, I didn't get tired of it. All the instruments were awesome and the different melodies fit in extremely well with each other. The ending was almost perfect. The fact that it ended with a cymbal was quite strange. Try and end it with a kick or that drum hit you did at 2:20. Apart from that, it's a really good ending. Even the beginning started the song very nicely. There's nothing else to say apart from that when it comes to dance songs, you're not AN expert, you're THE expert. Can't wait to hear more songs like this, keep up the great work!

[Good Egg Galaxy - 8bit]

That is awesome!

Man, you sure gotta love Super Mario Galaxy. Good Egg Galaxy is one of my favourites in the game, and this remix is excellent. You sure know your way around 8-bit. Loved how you changed the song in some parts to make it less repetitive, for example the scales at 0:32 and the rest of the song. I agree with NKAT, they are a little strange, but if maybe a little lower and with a different 8-bit instrument they'd sound better. Some simple 8-bit drums could do a good job in a few parts of the song, though. It still is amazing as it is. You chose a good song to make a remix of, and you performed it really well, and even though 8-bit isn't my type, this song left me impressed. Keep up the awesome work :).

Wow, thanks!

[~BH~ Unnamed Project]

Even your 2 year old songs rock.

This song is really cool. Very catchy melody, and good harmonizing of instruments. Very good and varied drums too. The whole melody was really well varied too, and the ending wasn't bad, either. I liked the buildup at the beginning. I wish there was a piano part in this song, your piano tunes are always catchy :P, but it's awesome anyway. Keep up the great work! XD.

The lack of a piano, as I recall, was deliberate for this style.

Thanks for the review :D

[Acid Rebound]

Pretty good.

Not such a bad song Good choice of acid instruments. They fit with the name very well. The drums were a little repetitive and annoying though. The snare was way too loud and even the kick was slightly on the noisy side, and the cymbal, IMO, was a little too soft. The melodies are all pretty good as well. Wished they wouldn't repeat themselves so much, especially the first one [(0:06) - (0:45)], and also the transitions felt a little random. For example, when the first melody stopped at 0:45, it ended pretty suddenly with that cymbal. Even the second one ended so suddenly like that. The ending wasn't bad, though, and some melodies were pretty catchy, so all in all, a cool song. Just a little messed up percussion and repetitiveness, but everything else was just fine. ^^

[When boredom strikes...]

Pretty cool, but needs more to it

Notes are pretty good, and the ending was quite good too. Needs some good drum beats to it, and maybe a piano or bass guitar or something, to give it a few more instruments. Try and make it longer too. Well, it isn't bad. Hope to see your upcoming ones :).

(P.S.: I've been trying to PM you too and I'm wondering if you're receiving any. If you aren't, maybe it's because you haven't added me to your contact list, unless you did, which means that I have no idea what's wrong.)

[Endeavour - Crescent Moon]

Wow!

Loved it. It's an amazing melody which is varied throughout the song very well, and the instruments used are very good. Liked the buildup a lot, and the drums were really good. Bass could've varied a little more, but it wasn't bad. The song in all fits perfectly with the name, and rocks at the same time. The ending was very good too. Overall, a very catchy song, keep up the great work XD.

[Distant dreamz.mp3]

Awesome XD

This song rocks. I heard it like 15 times before daring to review a song with this amazingness. It's very catchy, and the instruments chosen couldn't have been better. Drums were varied, and fit in perfectly. I liked the part at 2:07, just maybe to high-pitched or hard-tuned, but the notes were perfect. Ending was very professional and well done, and the song in all fit with the name really well. Good buldup at the beginning, god-like instruments, amazing drums, very catchy tune, excellent ending, so what can I say, outstanding song! Keep up the great work - when it comes to songs, you are THE expert. Awesome job!

[Lion King - F-777 ReMiX]

Some problems, but still amazing XD

Man I love the lion king song, and you just made it better. The ambient part at the beginning was just awesome. It had a lot of fullness in it and started the song very nicely, but then, after the ambient part at 0:54, it turned into dance. It would've been fine but with a bass after every note it sounded pretty strange. Well, after that, it got louder and better, and went back in ambient again, which was pretty cool. You should put in some high bells playing the main melody with some note additions or something in the second ambient part. The ending was wierd, though. End it with an ambient note or something, maybe that'll sound better. Anyway, as for the song in general, it's fantastic and a great remix of the original. Good job on it, I enjoyed it immensely. Keep it up XD.

[{=S-16=} Reverb]

Really cool!

Loved it. The bass was really cool, and it was as varied extremely well. Instruments were very well chosen, and the percussion fit perfectly. In some parts you used the default drums of FL Studio though, which is quite annoying; try downloading a good drum soundfont from the Net. Still, it fit in nicely in a song like this. A piano would do a good job in this song, but all the other instruments were superb. The ending was quite good as well, since it didn't feel sudden and ended with the right note. I'd suggest a loud and reverbed kick and snare to finish it, but it's fine as it is. Awesome job, it's catchy, perfect instruments, great drums, good ending, well, what can I say? Awesome song!

[-AeF- Empathy]

Not bad =)

Not such a bad song. The structure was a little messed up, though. For example, the main melody lasted too long at the beginning. It might sound better if you stopped the melody at 0:27 instead of continuing it to 0:34. The instrument that came in at 0:05 fit very well with the song. I noticed some notes a little off, in my opinion, like at 0:39 to 0:40, which didn't really fit with the melody that started at 0:34. Also, it felt a little random in general. The main melody took too long to come back in again - try and move it to earlier stages in the song. The drums need some fixing, too. They were pretty simple. The faded ending wasn't that bad, though, and many parts in the song were very catchy. The choice of instruments was excellent, and it's a pretty good song in all. Sorry for the long review and keep up the good work :).
