[-Voluble- [MAC 2008]]

technological beautification

Absolutly love this submission for the mac. I think you def have a chance for the top five winners. The piano is harmonius and simply heartfelt in every way. But powerfull enough to invoke emotion. i also love the outro in this song very slowly dying like a flower. My fav part though,,,, the brilliant use of drums. It alloows the song to be interpreted in so many ways. this can mixed in with a house set a dnb set or even have an mc rap over this. of course the piano and razor bass keep everything in great melancholy . The drums really do add a great wispyness to the song without stealing the show and making it sound like a dub track. The pads in the backround also have the same whispy feel to it

I especially love at 1:20 how you biuld it for a great breakdown AND YOU STILL KEPP THE DRIVE!!! Brilliant!!!

[Noir Space]

meh

... i couldbe better if you took the violins and played an actually disonent minor melody... some space bells could help also... and you need more rumbling.. like really low bass rumbling.

not bad though keep werkin on it
3/5 6/10

Superguitar responds:

Thnks man, I know what you mean, I didnt realize how empty it sounded until i put it on here. But thanks for the comment man!!

[Classical In a Trance On FIRE!]

On the right track :)

Your definatly onto something here ...i noticed you kinda did the prodigy line and drum roll after it ..prolly not intentionally but it works...the drums in this piece are friggin sweet dude just up that treble on the bass just a tad ...and definatly throw some string samples in there...after all the name is classical in a trance on fire..and a lead line..this has great potential... maybe some scattering bleeps and blips thatgo with the key.. like64th note blips and beeps...just revamp it a little and this is a solid ten dude

Musical-Pants responds:

Yeah the drum roll was very intentional, took me about half an hour to get it to sound perfect, and about five seconds to screw it up again. I hate my nOObness at FL :(
Thanks for the suggestions, I'll definately use them if I ever get around to finsihing this thing.

[-Air and Rain-]

heartwarming

i LOVE the begining withthe thunder and soft sad piano that transends into the lively moving beat .... the harmonies are great and the melody is solid......The beat came in at a perfect 1.15..perfect placement...just when you feel like the piano is riseing out of ashes the beat kicks in and make it so much more epic.. i like at 55 you cut the bass piano line and focus on higher notes to set it up for 1.15
great piano playing great song structure
5/5 10/10

thanks for the great listen

Gloudas responds:

thanks for the great review :D

[It Makes Me Feel Like A Snake]

Awesome

This is completely original and friggin zippy as hell...the music in the background is awesome..even the music by itself would be great. the voices are great.. a little funny and cartoonish sounding.. but still great singing and harmonizing ... you should definatly do more songs like this.
5/5 9/10

sssssssssssssssssss responds:

Thanks for the review!!!
There already are more The Sky Has Fallen songs. I haven't submitted them here yet, but I will after we get some more finished. We are doing this along side our live band (Kinstone) which is our main focus. I'll probably submit some of those eventually also- we are starting from scratch because I recently replaced the bass player. I also plan on submitting songs that I wrote with me singing and playing guitar that I might add some FL back beats to. The only problem is that I need to borrow our insane percussionist's (Jordan Hughes; also of Kinstone and TSHF) recording equipment as I am too poor to afford my own.

[{-^MP^-} Someday...]

Really sweet

this is great man..the layers of music go together wonderfully and the drums sound great and the piano adds a great touch to everything. this really is a great piece i really hope someone uses this in a video game or movie..it would be great for a climax in the story line..one suggestion ...the guitar effect in the begining is a little trebly..thats all.
this song is great!!!!
5/5 10/10

Musical-Pants responds:

Thanks a lot!
I probably worked most on the piano, hard to get it to fit with everything, but the drums were a close second. The guitar was really the starting point, and sort of led off whenever the song changed.
Thank you for your thought.

[Salvare Ambition]

For what it is

For what is is i woud say pretty cool... this could be used in a flash about cuba..and i like the way you repeated some of the stuff he said to get the point across...there was a little static here and there that was hard to get through and understand what he was saying but all in all i think its a usefull submission and i would hope someone can use it in a flash.. personally i would add some more music to set the mood a little better...
4/5 8/10

Bezman responds:

More music? Fair point.

The static was included in the original recordings and I didn't want to start cleaning them up as it'd kinda be less genuine.

Thanks for the review, man.
