I know people have said this over and over, but I also feel that one of your strong points in this song was the nice build up effect that you had. Listening to the first couple of moments almost made this sound like it wasn't going to be anything too great, but slowly and steadily it got better and better.

It picked up very nicely and had a nice fast pace to it. I listened to it a few times as I really enjoyed it. Perhaps some sort of vocals could have been thrown in there somewhere to make it a bit interesting?

[O.H.35 - Rocket]

~ Review Request Club ~

I actually thought it was very good. A lot of people talked about how repetitive it was, but I felt that for being over six minutes long you had a really good deal of variety in it.

I think that the only thing that you could have made a little bit better would be the voices that you used. They were there, but if they were a little bit stronger or evident I think it would have been much better.

I myself thought the guitar sounded pretty real and had no problems with it at all. I really liked the mix of genres here. Not only did they help a lot with the variety, but they were mixed very well.

OH35 responds:

Thanks for the review, glad you liked the song!

The guitars used ARE real so I'm surprised that people think they sound fake, perhaps too much effect applied in some parts of the track...

[Out of My Sight]

~ Review Request Club ~

I was wondering where the vocals came from because I had never heard the lyrics before. Are they original lyrics or something that your sister had made up herself? Either way she has a pretty good voice and you did a good job with adding some effects to her voice here and there.

The music itself is really good. I like how the music went along with the tone of her voice. The song seemed to be in harmony. Like mentioned before you had nice use of effects and the song as a whole is actually very good. Great job.

MusicIsBliss responds:

Thank you very much. She made the lyrics herself. She has a little blue book with all sorts of poems in them and I asked her to write lyrics for a song, and voile. And yes, I basically constructed the entire song around the lyrics, something I have never done before.

[AF - Simply Sabotaged (Final)]

~ Review Request Club ~

Hm, I'm never a fan of songs that are well over 6 minutes. I always feel like there are parts that can be taken out to make it somewhere around 5 to 6 minutes. So to satisfy someone like me I wouldn't have minded it being a bit shorter. Short attention span and whatnot sorry.

The song itself was pretty good. I was impressed how it never got too repetitive or boring even though it was quite long. It had a good beat and was pretty fast paced all around.

You did a great job at mixing two different songs into one as well. I had no clue after listening to it that it was two different songs and wouldn't have known until I read your author comments.

aliaspharow responds:

yeah it is a bit too long. Even for my own taste i must add! I think i might tweak around with it. oh and yeah i have to say the mixing was pretty easy to do to put the two songs together and it turned out pretty good. you know... except for the whole "totaly different genre" thing. Anyway, Thanks allot for the review!

Cheers!

There seems to be much room for improvement in this song. The content that you did use in this song sounded pretty good, but I think it's more about what you didn't use in this case.

It was kind of boring and nothing new or exciting ever happened in it. Actually, not much happened at all and then it just kind of ended leaving me unsatisfied. That's what she said.

The introduction was probably the strongest part of this submission and you do have potential to turn this into a good creation. I just feel that it needs more going on and less of the same thing going.

I appreciate your feedback and will get to work as soon as possible!

[African_Jazz [Box-Killa]]

~ Review Request Club ~

It does have a really catchy beat to it all around. It's like old school tribe instruments meeting newer Jazz instruments and it really creates a cool sound that one wouldn't expect to hear. Jazz submissions tend to be fun to listen to when done properly and this wasn't any exception.

I could slightly see the quality or static noise that was talked about. It did take a little bit away from the submissions, but not enough to really ruin it or anything.

[TTC the crowning (adagio)]

~ Review Request Club ~

Great, but not memorizing. Beautiful in itself, it isn't something that I would come back and listen to. Kind of long and drawn out, but still very relaxing and when it comes down to classical music it really doesn't get much better than this.

Hm, parts of me say keep it simple like it is and it'll be fine, but other parts of me say spice it up with something new and original. Give it something people haven't heard before. Do you simply want to create something that sounds great and that people will enjoy or do you want to take it to the next step and create something that they won't forget for a long time?

Again, as far as classical music goes it's very good all around.

Calamaistr responds:

Sure i have better works, and my goal is to make something that I enjoy, but more importantly.. that is true to the mindset or feel i make it in. And this one ofcourse is one of my oldest melodies.

[On This Dark Day]

~ Review Request Club ~

This is what it's all about isn't it? I review audio after audio and I always hear the good, the bad, the mediocre, but man is it ever worth it when you run by a piece that is so beautifully done as this.

The originality, the sound, everything. It's basically left me speechless (I guess wordless is better since I'm typing). The song itself is universal in every manner. It could be used as so many different songs in so many different situations simply because it portrays so many emotions.

Seems like you've created somewhat of a masterpiece here. Very different from other things that I've heard.

Haha, thanks for such high praise! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the review, and thanks for listening!

[The Last March (Plz Reveiw)]

~ Review Request Club ~

I guess when I started listening to this I was hoping for a different final march of some sort. This is definitely a Native American or Indian final march song.

I like the picture that you paint in the listeners heads. The beginning starts out like a March, and then suddenly they run into the enemies, and a battle starts, but they aren't successful in any means, hence the title final march. It was more about pride and not giving up no matter what.

The ending left a little to be desired. It seemed to quit randomly in the middle of something. Are you sure you didn't cut it a bit short? I think it could be developed a bit more.
