[Kaleidoscope Eye]

~ Review Request Club ~

Wow, I just really don't know what to say about this one. It sounds like a joke submission to me, but even then I couldn't rate it high simply because I don't see where it is funny or entertaining in anyway.

The original music was pretty good. By it's own it would have gotten a pretty low score because it was so simple and everything. It could have used some variety, but as a backing to voices it's a good choice of music.

The high pitch voices just weren't good. There were times where it sounded like you recorded all of them separate and you could obviously hear the cuts in between. If they weren't recorded separately then it was just some rushed mixing.

I also heard a lot of the vocals breath. I heard the pfff and the hufff into the mic. Perhaps move the mic up a bit away from the mouth as I have found this really helps me when doing voices. If you didn't do the vocals then find someone else first. If you have no chance of finding someone else then give them some tips.

On top of those things that were wrong with the higher voice they simply didn't sound good. They almost seemed like they were talked instead of sung. The deeper whisper voices were good and added a little bit to the submission, but not much because everything else took so much away.

The ending of the song was really bad in my opinion. It sounded like you started recording something made from the computer and then finished by recording something really far away from a low quality recording device.

Overall, the vocals weren't very good, the song itself was very simple, and the ending wasn't very good quality. The song as a whole wasn't entertaining, funny, or good in anyway. Sorry for the low review, but I feel it's an honest review.

I really liked this piece. It had a really nice fast pace to it and was entertaining to the end. There were some nice glitchy effects in there as well. Although there was a lot of variety as a whole I would say that some of it did get a little repetitive. Not really much though.

I don't have much to say about this piece. It was generally good. Keep up the good work you box killa you.

[The Jungle Rituals]

~ Review Request Club ~

I see some resemblance of a jungle in here, but really not much. The song as a whole doesn't make me think jungle or jungle ritual. The song itself was kind of laid back and relaxing to listen to.

It had really good drums and a good beat throughout the entire thing. There is a very nice blend or balance of instruments. It's not exactly simple and it isn't too busy by any means.

All in all a good piece.

I thought the drums were maybe like a jungle tribe's (slow and steady), but what the hell do I know lol? The point is I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I'm greatly sorry for the review below mine. Supersteph is a big spammer and he should be removed from the RRC immediately. I have a slow internet connection and his review made the page take a long time to load. ;)

Hm, well I get into trouble when I find audio submissions that I like. I can't really pick them apart like some people can. I can only say what I don't like and well... there wasn't anything that I really disliked about this submission so I can't even do that.

So yeah, nothing but praise from me. I can't even really give this a review. :P

GronmonSE responds:

Supersteph tends to do that haha.

Well, um, glad you like it a lot? :D

A very nice beat indeed. It's something that I listened to a couple of times just because I enjoyed nodding my head to it and tapping my foot to it. So very fun to listen to, but it does get quite repetitive after awhile.

Really just the same thing over and over. Even when you did add in some different things here and there that also got repetitive because it was the same thing over and over.

Using more variety with your variety (that sounds kind of weird) and perhaps spicing it up with some cool effects or vocals could make this submission less repetitive. Overall I had fun listening to it though.

[Katlean prime redo 2010]

~ Review Request Club ~

This song has a very creepy sound to it. Not creepy like I'm scared for my life, but like something that you might expect to hear in a Halloween related cartoon show or perhaps flash submission.

It was a pretty good song all around and I enjoyed listening to it. I felt that it had sort of a week ending that could have been a bit stronger. The song itself was also a bit short and maybe could use some sort of creepy sound effects like a wolf howling or something of that sort.

Calamaistr responds:

err no no adds to this song, afterall its based on something already and there are no wolfs in katlean.

But im glad you liked it. :) So thanks :)

[Walking in the Desert]

~ Review Request Club ~

This is a very nice piece all around. I really liked how relaxing it was. It almost seemed to be one of those submissions were you couldn't really tell if it was really sad or almost a happy/sad mix. I'm assuming that you were going for the sad theme here alone though.

Very nice piece all around like I already said. I really enjoyed the piano. There's not much that I can find to say about it though. Being lost for words isn't a bad thing though I suppose. :P

[SN | Obscene Amounts of Steam]

Wow, this was pretty cool. I liked the fact that this song contains so many interesting sounds that I haven't heard before. It's starts of very calm and relaxing and then get kind of hectic like something sad or freighting is happening in the song.

Even though it got really busy later in the song it never really left it's relaxing and soft theme behind. Perhaps some really soft vocals could spice this up a little bit in the parts where it slows down?

SessileNomad responds:

vocals could work, but idk i dont know any vocalists and my voice isnt very pretty : /

I would say that this piece is very creative and you had a lot of interesting sounds and beats in here. The first minute or so would have to be my favorite part of the song. After that it was still pretty good though.

There was quite a bit variety in the song so it never really got too repetitive to me personally. There were a lot of cool sound effects to go along with the variety. I think that the only thing that I had against this song was that there was really no theme behind it. Unless your theme was anything goes and you wanted to create a completely random piece. Along with that it was a bit long and I wouldn't mind seeing it shortened just a little bit.

Sawdust responds:

Yeah, the melodies are all over the place, but none of them are really that good are they? I think that this is a sign that vicious editing IS required. Thanks for the review though, I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.
