Wow.
The sound quality alone left me gaping.
Then the masterful composition, and the fact that it comes together so smoothly... this is quite possibly one of the best jazz pieces I have heard in a long time.
Great work, and definitely worthy of a McPerfectBurger.
thanx for the good mark and the nice words
well, this is made in a studio, that explain the quality ;)
and ... errr.... i'm vegetarian :))
do they have soy burgers ?
thanx for review
Hmm.
Well, the drums are the first problem.
For trance, there are generally a few things that always sound good. For example, the four-on-the-floor basic thrumming beat. Of course, there could be some variation from that that still leaves it with power. Change it up too much, however, and you've got kind of a powerless kick that you've got. Of course, you can just go "RAAAARGH IDM DRUMS" and who knows, you might just end up with something awesome. I mean, that's what I try to do. :D
Now. The synth. It's a good synth. But you know it's repetitive, and I know it's repetitive, so I won't be repetitive by saying it's repetitive.
I suppose it makes for interesting listening, BUT I SO TEH KNOWS YOU CAN DO BETTER. :D
DO IT. NAO.
Alrighty, when I feel up to it, I'll make a "full-er" version of this, with a brand new set of bassed-up kicks with some power :D
"But you know it's repetitive, and I know it's repetitive, so I won't be repetitive by saying it's repetitive." That's a bit repetitive. lolz
So I will try and do better. BUT NOT NAO. >:(
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED.
But it was damned awesome, I tell you.
It's like one of those scenes in a movie where the hero just got sniped from the rooftops and it's going all black and white with the slo-mo.
Totally badass. Ambient guitar ftw.
You should check out the No Pussyfooting album. NOW.
Also thanks :D
Collabs, huh?
Always up for it. Check my stuff out, drop me a line. :D
Also, awesome music. Seriously. Hilarity too, for some songs.
McPerfectBurger't.
DOOM.
Nice intro, though the delay on your initial non-pad synth sounds just a wee bit off.
It's a bit irritating, it seems like it's doing its own thing.
Piano's nice, if a bit buried, I think it should be brought out a bit more.
Pads, however, are masterful. Around 1:55 when you bring in strange sounds, (I love that choir-ish one) it falls together really well.
Toms are pretty damn awesome too.
McAwesome? Beyond a shadow of a doubt. Five't.
Looping's bad, I'm sure you're aware of that by now. Could have used a bit more variation, and a more striking melody, but that's it.
Amazing.
Srsly. You win at life.
And I giveth you a McPerfectBurger. You definitely have got to finish this, is amazing. :D
You gotta be fucking kidding me? A fucking McPerfect? I... I can't accept it, I'm not worthy... (maybe when/if I finnish up the song:)
Interesting.
I really like the way this song flows, and the drums were amazing. AmyAp is a genius.
This is definitely going to go on the McBurger list 2.
Oh, and by the way, it's McAwesome. And fived.
I'll tell her you said that. :)
I can't believe I haven't responded to this review yet >:(
Thanks again!
Ambience? Not really.
However, FUCKING AMAZING WORK.
Your style of music continues to impress. I'm definitely a huge fan of it.
The abrupt change of pace around 2:10 could have been done a little better- just a second or two of silence slipped in there could have done wonders.
Technically, I can't think of anything wrong. Bass fits in well, doesn't drown everything else out. Violin is interesting- would be entertaining to watch someone play it. Piano's simple, but gets the job done.
I think the main reason this got zerobombed is because, well, you kinda mis-genre'd it. What would I call it? Fuck if I know. But I like it.
Another small reason is that it's a bit repetitive- however, the masterful weaving and blending of it makes that an easily overlooked detail for me.
Fiven't, without question, and McAwesomeBurger't.
Fencing.
First off, Maestro, there is only one word to describe this. McGodly.
That and epic.
While I've read everyone else's reviews, it seems to me that my vision of it is entirely different.
Tick, tick, tick... both the ticks of a clock and the footsteps of two men in a large hall, walking circles around each other, probing with defensive thrusts, easily parried, as onlookers watch silently upon stone seats. The choir starts to sing, and each man's hair starts to prickle. But neither quicken their pace, keeping it in time, and not rushing it at all.
One man (2:00) begins to start an offensive- putting one man desperately fending off lunges, with one quick slash to the knee that misses by a hair's breadth. But for all the frantic stabbing and slashing, the feet still continue to move at the same steady, unhurried pace.
At (2:40) one man recieves a wound to the chest- one that he knows will end him, however, he's still on his feet. Wobbly though they may be, he continues going, for a few more desperate lunges, hoping to bring his opponent down with him.
However, it's too little, too late, as the footsteps stop, and one man collapses to the floor, and the other man stops stepping.
Time? No. Rhythmic motion- absolutely. Maestro, you never fail to amaze me.
Did I mention this was McGodly?
Brilliant Solus... brilliant my good man. This story takes me to quite a few places indeed. These are clearly men of professional status. Ready to die, trained, and focused to the extreme! I especially loved the 2:00 onwards section. I could imagine the scenery so well, a flurry of action and attacks. The unhurried feet seemed to add such a sense of power. Unhurried in particular caught my eye.
It ends the way it started, brilliant.
Well written Solus, I appreciate your review, thank you for dropping by, i'm glad you liked it!
Voice.
After listening to this, and Khuskan's Not Enough, I've realised something.
Voices make things sound so much better.
This is masterful, my friend- there are naught but small problems with it.
A very few small problems as well.
Maybe the echo on the voice wasn't the best type of sound you were going for.
It wasn't bad, but I feel it could do with some fixin'.
ANYWAYS, guitars- synthesized or real? Because if that's synth, GUESSWHATYURTEACHINME. >:(
And that's all. Fifent, downloaded, JOO BE FAVORITED, and 10.
OH RIGHT MCAWESOMEBURGER >:(
Hey guy I tried to do some fixins... so perhaps it may sound better now... I reuploaded it with the fixins.
The guitar is synth... thats right... synth baby.
I got a whole wack of new software... can you tell?
Take care mate and thanks for the review.
Sincerely,
MMD
