West is my surname, and hencforth "West" is the easiest to pick out on my compass. If it were to start spinning, it would point west. My music is made with thought, time, effort, and love. That's right, love. Oh, and Fruity Loops. Can't forget that.

I loved the vocals. I'm not sure about the rest of the song, but just adding the vocals gets you a ten out of ten. If you're going to put vocals into more of your songs, which you're going to (pleas?!) try to get a nice female voice. I dunno about you but i like a woman's voice much better. And add more vocals for that matter. This was still primarily synth for melody. Try to make a song where the voice leads almost the whole song (if not the whole song). Keep up the great work.

Great song, but i was wondering, is it possible to have actual dynamics? Not just the usual substitute of more or less voices, but actual dynamics? I find the biggest setback on all my beloved electronica is that there are no dynamics. Its the only thing that keeps me from downloading all these songs.

"Couldn't have said it better myself."
Sweet stuff. Keep up the great work, and look into adding more dynamics than just those that you get from having more or less instruments. It would make this that much more epic if it was ~~ (up and down) instead of --- (straight forward).

0:43 was my favorite part. I liked how the higher 16th note synth bounced back and forth with the lower 8th note synth. 'Twas a fun song.
Very well done, but it lacks emotion. Its all exactly the same dynamic through the whole thing. This probably has to do with how its a program rather than you, but if you can, when you finish this up try to get ups and downs so that i can get that spine tingling bliss that i'm lacking. ^^

Was this all made on a whim, or did you just improvise one part and build the rest around it? Because i can't see how this could be completely improvised, not without blowing my mind.
Author's Response:
ok, let me explain.....
only one melody in the whole song was not created from improvisation, and thats the melody on piano that u may hear three times in the song, based on that melodys musical scale I started improvising the whole rest of the song.... that was made on a whim as u may say :P
oh, thx for the review by the way :)

You've got the whole celestial trance thing down pat. But the biggest downfall of trance is that its so... nice. Now make something intense! Please?

A perfect (as far as people are concerned) blend of classic ambience and electric rage. Still can't see anything wrong with it. I envy you and your amazing talent. Now if only i had some amount of influence in the world so i could offer you a record deal or something...

I swear, this is drum and bass with no bass! Is that something i should've noticed before now? Hm....

Poor poor flash submission. If only the world weren't so cruel. At any rate, i love everything you've made pertaining to personifying Newgrounds. ITS AWESOME. I kindof feel bad leaving such a small review, but undoubtable you already know all the good and so-so things that i might be able to pick out, and then some. And i know that mostly because i can't pick out any so-so things, and no one is perfect right? Right?!

The poor flash was just made by hands that had enough voices tell P-Bot that it must go away. P-Bot, though cruel and cold, is like a sleeping giant. It does nothing until it is told to awaken, and when it wakes up, it leaves a trail of corpses in it's wake :(
It's quite okay DjCompass, I know quite a few areas that need work for this song, and I do appreciate the support! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!
As far as I know, nobody is perfect, but everybody is perfectly flawed :D!

I loved the lfo on the bass. The hardest thing to do with FL is make something with lots of variety. You lost my interest when i realized that it would be the same loops again in different places. And the build up from snare w/cymbal really left me feeling lacking. Kindof gipped out. I was thinking "Hear comes some sort of epic climax!" but i never really got it. Good song altogether though. You get a ten from me :)
