Somewhere in Nevada

Wow man. You really know how to make FL sound shiny and expensive. Well, i guess it is pretty expensive, but you know what i mean.
Perfect length, i didn't get bored the whole time.
Is that a train i hear? Well done, that's a new one. Never seen- er.. hear that before.
Excellent work.

Well, people are always quick to criticise the basic samples that come with FL, but some of them aren't all too shabby. I wanted to do something for the FL core competition a while back, but I couldn't work out how to pull it off. I guess I just needed the right moment to get it done.

So true. You get 10/10 just for having sweet lyrics.
And aside from that, i'm not big on indie music, but i really enjoyed this. I didn't find anything particularly wrong, so good job.
Nice work.

Nice work. The name fits (you know why, so i won't bother telling you).
Myself, having a very short attention span, was almost lost to this song at about 1:00. The you came in with more fun stuff thirty seconds later, so congrats, you held my attention. Nice work ^^ In my narrow opinion, this song is too long for it's own good, but then, i say that about most electronica that exceeds two minutes, so...
Excellent work.

Thanks, I've been wondering if it was too long but I think each section fits the way it does because of how long it is and I'm far too lazy to completely remake it!

Thanks for your kind review

basshunter song loop

"*****"

date: August 30, 2008

I can hear the Basshunter in there, and that little line i enjoyed. However, the cymbals and... well pretty much everything else actually didn't fit at all. Or if it did, it's very subtle. I think you can do better

August 30, 2008

Author's Response:

well nothing is soposed to fit in and I made it so its really jumbled but with the bass hunter in it

The Death of Hank

"*****"

submission: The Death of Hank
date: August 30, 2008

Oh yeah. I can feel the hopeless battle. Try and try as you might, you're still gunna die Hank. Poor Hank...
I liked the blend of classical and hip hop, and the addition of the piano worked excellently. But i think i heard the same pattern, particularly on that Oboe(?), repeat itself through the entire song... And i /will/ harp on repetition! Other than some repeating melodies, and the general stale feeling, i have no complaint.
Good song, nice work.

Thanks. Yeah, I tried to cover it with the long melodies, but it didn't work.
Thanks for the reviews.

It seemed a little bit repetitive. Ok, a lot bit repetitive XP But cool song. It would probably make a pretty awesome loop.

'Mystic Wasteland'

"UpDownLeftRight"

submission: 'Mystic Wasteland'
date: August 9, 2008

The beginning was a little hard on the ears, but sets the mood very insistently.
I love the snare.
When the Plucked synth and it's metallice sounding accompanyment came in (1:49) it sounded kindof out of place to me. Just an opinion, i can't be sure.
Creates a mood very nicely.
As with most things, i think this is probably too long for it's own good :P
Well done.

-Stormy Dream- |[Glou]|

"Fun"

date: July 19, 2008

Lighthearted. The biggest problem i can see is the semblance of repetition i seem to detect. I heard one pattern that repeated itself through most of the song, and i don't like that sortof thing. Very nice, melodic piece. I especially liked the piano.

My delicate classical/trance ears aren't accustomed to so much metal. So since i have no clue what to look for in this genre i'll settle to say it's definetly way too crowded.

Jxl180 - Run With It

"*head spins"

date: July 19, 2008

The delay on whatever was the first instrument was making me dizzy. Not for me. Also, the kick seemed a bit too heavy, like a dull throb in my head. I liked the ending best, it was a shocking change from the heavy dancesque to go to the nice ambient pads.
Well done.
