[Here comes the Tankmen!]

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 ;)

[Rucklo - I Switch It On]

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.

Rucklo responds:

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...

[Rucklo - EmoBitch (NGedit)]

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!

Rucklo responds:

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

[_-={The Tanks Thunder}=-_]

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.

MaestroRage responds:

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 ^^.

[Time to ...]

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.

SaTIst responds:

Thats some real overview :)
Will try to keep ur notices in future songs / mixes ;)
Thanks for ur spended time.

[_-/| Singing To the Moon]

So quiet...

so pure. This is an excellent piece of music.

The softnest of all the instruments is beautiful. It's like the music is inside of you lol.

I have to ask though what are you doing here on ng? Sir, you have to go and sell your music to good people. Make music for movies maybe? Unless you just want to tone your skills and become mr. amazing.

It's pretty hard to review an "almost flawless" piece of music. Almost flawless because nothing is perfect in this world, few things come close and alot of things don't come at all. This came extremely close... don't know what i'm trying to say here... maybe nothing, maybe everything. Lol, enough of this nonsense talking.

The only thing that i'd shorten is the intro part where there's only the sound fx...

You sir are an amazing artist and i look up to you. 5/5 again, no surprise here.

MaestroSegments responds:

Thank you alot General_Leo. I've always felt your music painted images and emotions I am yet still incapable of producing, so in many ways, I look up to your music as well.

As for the whole selling my music.

Forever For Free is my motto. I don't plan on selling my stuff, I want to give it to everybody, to spread more stories, and make more worlds.

Thanks for the review, it really means alot to me.

[_-/| A moments Peace]

Magnificient!

This is an extraordinary piece of music. What i liked most about it is the harp and the chorus.

This well deserving of the frontpage! The intro is very nice and i could have seen this piece go in another direction than the one you took. You know like some fast paced epic war music or something... i'm glad you took this direction though.

This song is beautiful. Congrats on your frontpage and i wish you a long good and pleasent stay here on ng. 5/5 cause that's the highest i'm allowed to go.

Oh and could you send the unicorn to my house next time you see it... i sure could use it lol.

MaestroSegments responds:

Thanks General.

Recently i've tried to capture the essence of the story far more then I was worrying about melody work, and thought that may have hurt the catchyness of the song, I feel that the stories I want to tell are a bit clearer, which in my own eyes, is worth it.

As for the unicorn... have you ever eaten Unic burgers? No? Too bad...
:)

Thanks for the review ^^.

[my submission to tankmen]

Twas ok...

The clarity is the main problem with this piece. And the fact that you made this quickly doesn't help you. I'm sure that with a little extra time this could have been a great orchestral piece with violins and all.

Also, i think that this song should have been submitted in the classical section.

The piano was good but that's all that it was, a nice little piano melody.

Good luck with the contest.

kliff responds:

lol ima submit a diffrent version of this dont worry lol

[Buffalos in bikini]

Very cool.

I really like this 8-bit sounding song. It almost loops perfectly... nice try on the looping man.

This is an easy to listen to, enjoyable little song. Some thing like the good old nintendo games like say... Lolo should've had good music like this.

Nice song, keep up the good work and good luck with the contest man.

WinTang responds:

Hehe, yeah I actually made it a tiny bit too short to counter the looping pause :P
Thanks for your kind words! Lolo? Never heard of it, I'll see if I can a ROM somewhere...

[HM&DjVisor-"Unnamed Dance"v1.1]

Half and half for me...

What i'm saying is that there was like half of the things in this song that i didn't enjoy too much.

Like the piano and the repetitive drums. The drums need better eq by the way, the hi hats are really screwing things up cause they are too loud.

The fade in at the beginning was really nice. Some parts where you had the changes like with the guitar and such were good.

Good luck with the contest.

HouseMasta responds:

thanks i guess for the luck i have no idea how well itll do.
