[8 O' Clock - Mjattie (OM)]

groovy house

Everything about this screams ambient house, so WHY IS THE KICK SOOOO LOUD? Other than that one gripe, the whole thing is really well executed. nice job with the voice sampling btw.

mjattie responds:

hmmm I'm glad you like it but I don't think the kick is too loud, and I have quite a big supwoofer

thanks for reaction though

[VOID-Taste for Piano and]

it's missing SOMETHING, but what, im not sure

You truly have mastered the rhodes. Fuckin great funk. Reminds me of the theme from Being There (great Pete Sellers movie with an even BETTER soundtrack). Nice job; woulda been nice to get even a bit more instrumentation in, besides the rhodes and guitar; like maybe throw in a prominent flute or clarinet... maybe a sax? i dunno... even so it was great, but i felt it was missing some kinda punch towards the end.

BinaryGuy responds:

the whole point of the song was to make a "perfect" transition from totally mellow to totally upbeat. I think i accomplished that, but now you got me thinking, "what if i made it go from even MORE mellow to even MORE upbeat"
That'd be awesome, like this review was!
Thanks for the review!

Who`d you make enemies with?

This is a great piece of work man, you deserve to be over 4 with this one, frankly. The only thing I felt might need work is that transition at 1:34. It's way too abrupt and it doesn't completely change the tempor or anything. But other than the 3 seconds of confusion that created, the track's masterful. Great job on the EQ and all too.

I guess ppl don't like giving high scores to music that isn't fast and loud nowadays.

DJLoneWolf responds:

i guess i just attract trolls that love to give me a 0 for anything i submit. Anyways, thanks for the review.

[Boom Boom Remix]

just not a song worth remixing

I didn't find this all that interesting as a remix; it's frankly the same song and same genre...( maybe even a little more hands-up than the original) but with a chorus synth instead of a singer... Also, very typical kick/bass offset rhythm. I can tell you know what you're doing with whatever software you're using, but GOD, WHY DO THIS WITH IT?

ShadowEmmi responds:

I know what you are thinking, but I just had to upload something xD
But it isn't that muche of a change, I also "miss" a singer or vocals..

[..::Stressful stress relief::.]

It's pretty good...

I don't know what kind of series you intended for this to introduce, but it feels more like an electric lullaby to me than anything... a really repetitive lullaby. But how much variety can one really pack into just over a minute...

lazyboyclark responds:

ah well. thanks for the seven hehe

[Stress Eliminator (Acid Remix)]

This was like listening to Yoga for Windows!

Interesting and constantly changing, but I found it really hard to follow the melody; it didn't really seem to have a key or a consistent flow with the beat all the time. I'm sure you intended for it, but I guess it was a bit over-experimental for my taste. I did like the flow from 8 bit computer-ish synths into something a bit more... oriental.

Two of the more original minuts I've spent listening to any track on this site. nice job!

LastRushup responds:

Thanks for the review, this will definitely help me improve!

[[e99] Trance]

I feel guilty...

I can hear from the EQ work (like the sweep at the beginning) and the complexity of the two main themes you used that you did put a lot of work into this, but I still found that there was a bit too much fuzz on the synths you picked, and it made the song sound kinda clicky for trance music... Otherwise, although it does change at points, it only has 2 themes in 5 minutes, and the 3rd part is just playing one theme over the other. That's not a whole lot of variety for 5 minutes of air time...

So, sorry I couldn't give this one a bigger and more flattering review; it's a pretty decent track, so no hard feelings I hope.

e991e responds:

none taken.
This is my first song thats longer than 4 minutes (and decent). i hope to master the trance genre (lol) and create a few songs that are over 5 minutes and more entertaining.
Thanks for the review!

[Get Ready (Demo)]

eenh...

The soundbyte of the song going pop was sort of appropriate; the kick you used is REALLY clicky, and the song on the whole is pretty repetitive for only 2:00 long. Good instrumentation for dance though, but it definitely needs a bit more variety and some EQ adjustments...

tytee responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I'm kinda new to this whole thing, so I've got to get some practice in. Like it says, this is just the demo... don't really know if it'll go anywhere.
