[Vincent - Sleepy]

Nice song

Simple melody, fitting for background music. I like it when the synth kicks in at about 1:50, I was waiting for something to happen in this song, and there it was. Overall an enjoyable piece with a video game feel to it (when the retro synths come in), nothing particularly wrong with this piece, it suits the mood that the title describes. I like to hear songs like this, especially since I'm not into trance/dance/techno/house/dubstep and those types of music. Good work

[Cool Vibe]

Nice!

I get a nice, chill vibe from this - appropriately named. Very professional sounding mix and the song is real catchy! DL'd and DL'd.

Antkonio responds:

You are too kind

[Solace.]

Very Nice!

Good work. It's a pity how much good stuff here gets lost and doesn't yield that many votes or reviews. The melodies are beautiful. This song is dynamic and well-constructed. I like the dramatic transitions, very emotional. I'm gonna check out your other tunes when I get a chance.

stormalot responds:

Thank you so much man! I really appreciate it when people actually take the time to listen to my music, especially when they care enough to let me know it. You're the bomb my friend<3

[Elevate (Chillout)]

Beautiful Ambient Song

I really like this, nice tones on the piano and nice synths as well. I'm not a huge fan of the percussion though, actually I would like to hear a version of this without it. Other than that nice and relaxing.

AuruxBlu responds:

Sorry the drums were meant to be mixed with the song. Glad you enjoyed it though!

["kitchen for a bottle"]

Very good

Nice melody you've got there... and a good mix as well. Only wish it was a little longer. Congrats on your new son

Ankalegon responds:

thanks very much and i'm glad you enjoyed!

[Derived]

Catchy

I'm not really into trance, but I found this song mesmerizing. Good production, and my favorite part is towards the end when you throw that vg synth into the mix. My only criticism would be that one synth is a bit too bass-ey (actually I could do without that sound), but otherwise good song!

PaulyVengeance responds:

Thankyou for your kind words :) I'll keep what you say in mind, ready for the next track!

[Piano Unwind]

Good

A good chillout tune. Not a very complex piano piece, but it serves its purpose (I'm a minimalist myself).

skyood responds:

Thanks for taking the time for some feedback. The whole last 2/3 kind of came in a rush and I haven't really made a second clean-up pass at it yet. I definitely could add more chords etc to the piano, but I think I'm ok with the minimalism.

[w33zl - Ignorance]

Peaceful

The song is very peacefull and relaxing, my only criticism would be that it is unnecessarily long (it could have ended at 5:40 imho). The leads at 3:11 add a nice touch. Very nice ambient song.

Install-a-Friend responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure to make my songs more compact and exciting in the future.

[Ignyte -Final Breeze (Prelude)]

Very Good

Gives that electronic rock feel, only without the guitars. I like the tension created in the beginning and how it builds to a melody at 0:59. It is very catchy. The keys in the beginning could sound better, towards the end they sound much better (maybe an EQ/mixing issue?). I like the sounds you use at 2:34 and this is my favorite part of the song. In my collection for sure.

Ignyte responds:

Thanks man, yeah Ive been playing around with this basic yet suspense tune for a few months and only decided the other day to really try to work with it.
I had some fun in trying to create some different sounds too ^_^

The reason why the Piano sounds "better" at the end is because the main melody is an octave or two higher than the melody throughout the song.
The EQ is the same the whole way through, sadly, I'm only using a free VST plugin (CVPiano) which does have it's own flaws but it's still the best free Piano VST that I've found so far.

Thanks for the review.

[Rainbow Orchestral Tylenol]

Enjoyable!

I like this arrangement. The instruments sound good (the sax is a bit unrealistic but it's hard to find a good softsynth). Overall I'm impressed.

Andertxuman139 responds:

Thanks, cyan11. The saxo is quite unreal, but some orchestras have saxos in them, but better than the one I used :S

Thanks for reviewing n_n
