Nice loop.
I do think you should turn this loop into a song sometime soon(ish). This would serve a great intro and then have the beat kick off from there and explode into raw energy... me thinks.
I like the background arp and the bass most of all. Can't say much about it as it's only 26 seconds long. I think as it is now it could make a great menu loop but i would most definitely like to hear a full track made out of this.
glad you liked it! I think some recorded guitar might be added eventually...
Amazing combination
This should be put at the beginning of every single Christmas cd on the market for the all the aunts and grannies to drop their turkey and yell wtf as they hear this song...
Great song, nice beat, bounce bounce bounce, don't listen to this 30 times in a row though :)
3 times is more than enough for me...
I think "Amazing" might not be the apropriate word.
Merry nightmarish Christmas
Even after a few listens, the first 10 seconds always sound weird to me. This would be great for a horror movie where kids open their presents only to find the bloody remnants of their parents and the killer waiting patiently not far away to get the children next... or about the story of a man that lives in the streets and has nowhere to go on Christmas eve, it's so cold outside and he's starving madly.
Anyways, good work on this and happy holidays.
Yea this loop is morbidy depressing hahaha
This is simply too beautiful!
Before even reading the author's comments i was already sitting on the beach with around me the most beautiful surroundings imaginable... I have absolutely nothing bad to say nor constructive criticism for this song because it couldn't be any better than it already is.
I seriously think that this song could be used in a movie or an animated picture for some intro showing and island from the sky point of view with little cut scenes of animals here and there... you know.
Anyways Maestro, i think that you are truly talented and I'm not the only one to think this way , seeing as how popular you've become.
Excellent job on this!
I can't vouch for whether the song can be used in a video game of sorts or not, and to be honest at this point I wouldn't try too hard to find a publisher of sorts. I'm happy just sharing my stuff here on Newgrounds and with listeners such as yourself.
Thank you for your words and review LoneEagle, as well as your support, i'm glad you liked it!
Very good!
The song is just pure awesome and your version does it justice quite alright... The choice of instruments is very good. The guitar kicks ass and the strings are nice. Some of the drums could be a little louder i think.
The timpani was good but at one point it seems like its out of place... at the second semi-roll 3 in a row timapni hits... the first time it's ok but the second time it just doesn't feel right to me anyways... at 1:35 and 1:43 that is.
All in all you did an awesome job. 5/5 and keep them coming!
Oh and how come you didn't submit for the MAC this time... just wondering.
Ah, the timpani rolls are just off-beat, which occurs nowhere else in the song.
I know I didn't submit to MAC this time; I don't know why, but my brain wasn't working terribly well, and I had other things to do; MCSA textbooks are big...
It's funny you mention the drums, because they always seem to be too quiet. I should really check before I submit, because I go from kickass speakers to normal ones when I transfer from mac to pc. Note to self; raise drum volumes deliberately in future.
Nice first submisson!
This is a pretty cool song. Superdrummer already noted some problems down like the marching sounds and all. The only thing that i have to add is that the trumpets volume was a bit too loud in the part towards the end, where everything else in the background is hard to hear.
On the good side, your song is diverse. The intro is nice, what i liked about it the most is the little 3 high notes the guitar plays. All in all it's a good song and you seem to know what you are doing so just keep on submitting songs.
Good luck with the contest man.
Hey General Leo. Thnx a lot for the review. Like I wrote to SuperDrummer, my masteringskills just ain't the best. So I'm very greatfull for all the pointers I can get on that issue :)
Very cool that you noticed the 3 high guitar notes, because I really like that detail myself ;)
unts unts
This one is pretty nice also.
The intro on this one was pretty "slow" but when the drums arrive the song is excellent.
I liked the bass and the drums alot in this piece. I really think that you have a talent with music and that you know how to create a nice atmosphere.
Did you use a choir with the bass in this piece? Or is it just the way the bass sounds naturally. It's pretty cool. The loads of fx were also very good.
Nothing is wrong with this piece, everything flows nicely.
Another 5/5 from me.
Thanx man, this reaview ereally warmed my heart :)
I cant really remember what i did with the bass, i actaully think it´s a preset from a combinator that I messed up... i´ll check it out if youre interested.
a better version, remastered and slightly remixed can be downloaded here;

If it´s the same version as NG, then ill have to upload to another place... the soundcard seem to be fkd up on this comp, so i cant check...
Cool nice track!
Apart fomr the vocals that i didn't like too much... the song is great. The lyrics are good it's just that i'm not a fan of growling and i know that this is not a song to really sing to. So in a way it's pretty ok what you did, it's a good concept.
I really liked the drums in this piece and the little strings touch here and there are awesome. No wait... all of it is great.. synths too and the bass is awesome. I noticed a pitch or a key change somewhere but i can't tell exactly where it happens... which means it is very subtle and that is an awesome thing.
Hey if i pm you with my e-mail could you send me a version with no voice? No offense to you man it's just that it's not my type of thing.
This gets my 5. Excellent work!
if you pm me in a week or two with your e-mail that should be no problem at all.
I am considering remaking this song and making it all instrumental, since i really messed up the mastering on thisone, i mena, it really SUX. i have earlier versions that are of better quality :/
anyway, yeah, the reason i want you to wait is because im on dial up at the moment. I am moving to a new place t his weekend, and it might take a couple of days until i get broadband.
Thanx alot for the feedback :D
Resurrection is always good...
Nice to hear from you again :D
This song is great. I love the percussions in this piece. I only wish that you put a slight touch of snare drums in there somewhere, like military drums but just a little bit. You also need to put some reverb and a longer release time on your bells man, that's my only problem with the song.
I love the strings and the flute. Was anything else playing along side the flute cause it sounded "electric"...
I myself am working on an orchestral piece, my first one hehe... will release in a short while. Ahem, anyways, i didn't come here to advertise/whore myself...
Good track Maestro, good luck with the contest. 5/5 for good measures.
Hey General_Leo.
I appreciate your support for the piece, it seems snares were a desire for this piece, but truth be told, I just couldn't really bring myself to put them in there, as I said earlier, i'll put them in myself, and if the difference is so monumental that it completely alters the core of the song (which I highly doubt it will), then i'll upload again different version.
As for flute. That is a panflute, reverbed up the ying yang. The bells were infact reverbed a huge deal, but it seems that the decay was simply not loud enough for it to make an impact. Should I have tried to make it louder and longer, it would have created a large ringing noise whenever it came around, and destroyed the entire structure of the song itself.
I look forward to your orchestral piece, please drop me a pm when it's up, i'll be sure to give you my thoughts.
Thanks for everything General_Leo ^^.
Very catchy....
I really liked this song. The main synth was very nice, teh beat is well done. The bassline could've been a tad louder i think.
The song loops really nicely good job with that as well. The cymbals used in this piece could use some reverb/echo or maybe just use a whole different sample.
After listeing to all of your tracks i have to say that this one and "Tactical-Ops Theme (remix)" are my favorites. Also some of the scores you have don't reallly do the songs justice so i spent a few 5s here and there.
I like what i hear and i think that you have some potential sir. Keep up the good work.
Thats some real overview :)
Will try to keep ur notices in future songs / mixes ;)
Thanks for ur spended time.
Hi, i make music as a hobby. From time to time i should upload a song. The best way to support me is to buy my music on bandcamp, it would really make my day. Share your art, take care, see you later.
