[Megaman - Cutmans stage techno]

Video Game

Nice remix. <3 Mega Man <3

Any video game music remixer is A - O - K in my book.

DJ-Janze responds:

thank you :) got to upload more game music later then.

[Astro-Paranoid]

Yeh

You hit the nail pretty good. I do sense an Outer-Space vibe to the song. I feel the entire song doesn't do that vibe justice though. When the beat comes in...it loses a bit of it's Space appeal.

The whistling sounds you have work nicely for it...I'd like to hear this song without the beat as I think that distracts the space age feel to it. Your song reminds me of this one SPAM Flash made by a SPAM FLASH Artist that resubmitted the same Flash for weeks non-stop it seemed of a a cut-and-paste picture of a real life geeky guys head and he's just bobbing up and down outter space doing nothing and it's like a 3 second loop lol....random I know. I tried to find the link for like 15 minutes but couldn't so I guess I can only put it in writing.

For the most part it's a pretty decent tune.

Dark-Frando responds:

nooo I'm remindig people of infamous artists >.< not a good sign =P

Thanks for commenting me with that tasty bit of talk =D

[Karco - Temple]

lol

Nice track. Sounds like space exploration music.

I feel like Copy and Pasting your Author Commentary into my Reviewer Commentary. I don't think I could do any better justice than with your own words. lol.

Nice work. 8/10

Karco responds:

Heh, that's fine. At least you liked it. :D Thanks for the review.

Review

Nice tune. I love the weird cryptic vocals too. Keep it UP~

I listened to it about 3 times to get a real feel for it. Sounds great. Sounds to me like from a game I played...Post Nuclear World War setting. Nice bad ass undertone in this song. =)

Congrats on making all artists cry this week :D kidding kidding.

snayk responds:

Thanks.

Fell in Love INSTANTLY

lol snayk...

A lot of your stuff is on the Front Page today isn't it? Shame on you. Bad boy. Taking up all the room and making all the other artists feel bad about themselves, hehe.

One of my favorite (maybe favorite of all time genres on Newgrounds) is Ambient and this has to be my favorite of what I've seen from you today. The bell-sounding chimes are so crystal clear. Makes me think of going into a Cave filled with sparkly crystal thingies and seeing all the colors hidden by the drab brown exterior shell of the cave to see this.

Call me ignorant on who Kraftwerk is....but isn't this also a Coldplay song...? Speed of Sound was it? I use to be real into Coldplay with their last two Albums. It simmered down a bit but I still like them and have respect for them regardless of what anyone else thinks.

I love the sound you have here. You heavily into Ambient songs or is it just this weeks selection? I may check out some of your other stuff but I'll wait for the response.

snayk responds:

I'm glad you liked it so much! Yeah, eight of my songs made the Top 30 this week :D

As I said earlier (and I think I'll edit into the author's comments), Coldplay used the melody in their 2005 song "Talk," but Kraftwerk released "Computer Love" in 1981. This is a cover of the Kraftwerk song.

I do enjoy making ambient music, and I've got quite a few ambient tracks here. If you're into checking them out and skipping my other songs, just go onto my userpage and click the audio link. You'll see all of my songs and their respective genres.

Thanks for the review(s)!

[Reasoner- Approaching The Sun]

Yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yoy o yo yo yasdkfhs

Not bad...felt a bit repetitive. Although, you already stated that in your Author comments. Normally, I like progressive things but it was hard to get as deeply into this as the other reviewers.

The closer you get to the end of the song the better and more alive everything starts to get. It felt like a flower slowly blossoming. Sound gay? Kinda. Owell :P The sound really came alive in it's later stages.

Overall I feel you did a pretty good job although I did have to knock a few points off my personal taste scale for the dragging feeling. Overall though Pretty good. Peace and love.

Reasoner responds:

Thanks for the review. I agree that this track has a lot more promise. I may rework it later if I can come up with some fresh ideas.

[The Voice of Reason]

Life now makes sense

I didn't like the intro very much and thought....errr... It's a very weird thing you know...The bells and chimes at the beginning of the song felt out of place when the song started and as soon as the guitars kicked in...everything made sense.

Perception is fleeting and often weird and maybe that last thing I said and thought was an illusion? But this song definitely got kicked into high-gear and everything made sense after.

I wasn't too sure about the almost aquatic sound effects toward the beginning of the end but overall the song is pretty nice. Love the guitars and everything else. Almost perfect. Nice work.

sorohanro responds:

actually, when i made this i was playng "Shadowman" (old game, but one of the spookyest), so , i guess i got inspired for the intro from there ...
i think i have long intros generally speaking, i guess i have to get in the mood for making music ...
thanx for review

Opa

My mind usually goes to Forests when I'm asleep. I also have a weird fascination with flying and definitely moving things with the power of my mind. Yes.

I don't think this piece made me feel like I was asleep or in that special little place while I'm asleep. Generally speaking too.

It's kind of cliche to make songs about sleeping and dreams and everything inbetween ambient with lots of bell chimes lol...but it may have been a bit more fitting. It's your song though so you're ultimately the master of it's reality.

snayk responds:

Yeah, it's cliché to make ambient songs about sleep and dreaming and everything in between, but can't the same be said for a pop ballad about love or a goth song about sadness?

A song can be good whether its subject matter in relation to its genre is used or not, and you shouldn't restrict your thinking because of it.

You didn't really tell me anything about my song. You didn't even say whether you liked it or not, just that it didn't make you sleepy.

Please use your review space for constructive criticism.

[Reasoner- Instrumental #4]

Cool Song

Nice little song you have here. And yes, congrats on Front Page~! Woo!

The intro however didn't do too much for me. The song however slowly started evolving bit by bit into a blend of natural sounding music and some synthetic stuff. Nice interesting blend you got going there. One of the more interesting softer tunes I've heard in this place in a while. Nice job!

Reasoner responds:

It does start out a bit open, with a lot of dead air. I'm working on trying to tighten things up with my future tracks. Thanks for the review

Demons in the Background...

I have images of pacing back and forth alone in a dark room. Surrounded by the terrors in my mind. Demons only exist in your heart.

snayk responds:

Ok.
