[Hypno_Shooter [Box-killa]]

Oh my

I get the urge to race hovercrafts when I listen to this.

[SSE ^ Digitalis]

Magically phat

I don't normally care for dance music (at all), but this was exceptionally sweet.

Two minor things I can think of keeping it just short of flawless:

Something about the introduction of the kick at the beginning is too fat and almost engulfs the rest of the track in less of a harmonious way. Maybe fixed with EQ or FFT cutting off <20Hz, I can't tell what it is exactly... Secondly, there is a section around 1:50 that sounds spacious and screams for more low-end to lift it off the ground (read: booty bass!). That's about it.

Regardless, this track is pretty amazing. Again, I really fucking hate any form of dance music, but this is most certainly and exception - VERY few dance tracks can I actually "feel," as is the case with this one. I already want to say this is a masterpiece but I haven't even heard your other stuff yet. This is pro material, huge propz for breaking the phatness barrier. I really dig this, and I can't express enough how great it is.

DJ-SomeSortofEvil responds:

Thanks so much, man! This really means alot... I'll mess with it when I make the album...

[Kingbastard [ boxclever ]]

This is the business.

I love you. Not much else to say. Sorry, no constructive feedback, this is just really awesome.

Kingbastard responds:

hahaha, no worries, everyone loves hearing things like that:)

[Adamant FX]

Sup in here

Let me point out, first, that I absolutely hate dance music. That being said, this is exceptionally badass. I really dig the stack of sounds you have going, they're very solid and cooperative with eachother. Powerful, moving (and catchy!) melody too. I would've dug a bit more boost to the bass to lift the track up a bit, but god damn, this gets a 10 standing as it is.

Also, are you doing anything later tonight? I know where to find a pretty sweet garden of tulips and roses, we can hold hands and frolick through it together? Y/N?

axeFX responds:

haha! I actually turned the bass wayyyy down, because my sennheisers have too much low end. Soon I'll get some decent monitors tho. As for your offer, I'm alergic =[ sorry :P

[As if Life is Linear]

Mad fatical phresh

This is EXTREMELY underrated with a 2.0 rating right now. Very nice work e-pal.

Only improvement I would suggest from here is pushing out from the cold structure. Yeah I know, I'm pretty good with words. It's a very solid framework; crisp, delicious patterns that just need some sort of sprinkles on top, to give it a bit more of a dynamic, changing feeling. Yeah, my words.. I'm pretty good at making sense. :(

I dig it a lot.

Mabeph responds:

thanks for the review, e-pal
i get what you mean. my songs usually have an odd structure to them, but i agree that this one is a bit more by-the-book.

[YRX~vs~MH16~eXogenisiZ]

Nice!

I really dig it. The only small "beef" I have with it is that the elements sound a little raw/unpolished or somewhat primitive, for lack of a better word. That said, however, they still fit very well together and composition is awesome. Very gritty and powerful track, I like it a lot. This is definitely something that'll earn more than just a few listens from me. Keep it up!

YouriX responds:

Yes i left the main melody untouched because i liked the sound it gave! Thanks for the really good review! Boosted my cofindience. And the composing was done by MH16 so you should credit him!

[Cry Freedom]

Great job

Pretty awesome. All of the instruments meshed very smoothly. One of the things that I noticed was the drum near the beginning. The beat doesn't sound evenly spaced, whether or not that was intended, it just bothers me a bit.

Overall: pretty damn good piece!

popraz responds:

Thank you for the review, glad you liked it.
