Good stuff!

It has a nice feel for sure, nice and energetic, and yet I sense some anger and tensity in it.

What a strange piece ^^.

I don't know why, but I can hear this song with some kind of reverbing heavy bell, that goes off, especially at the gap of silence, I think that would add a LOT of flavour.

As a classical composer myself I tend to suggest things that may not belong in the genre, if this is the case I apologize --_--".

Still, good stuff.

4/5 from Allen, keep them coming.

Always-Dark responds:

Thank you, it means alot coming from you. I've seen your work and its really good. You have to be to make classical music.

Nice.

ah, faithful Sytrus, where would I be without thee ^^.

It is quite strange, though a bit repetitive, this is a great foundation to build a melody upon, and I really think you should consider that.

I like how you switched them, it sounded pretty cool, maybe have them both going off at the same time somewhere?

I would like to hear some diversity and a melody built on this song.

4/5, keep them coming Slik.

SlikRik19 responds:

Thanks man!

I did actually try running both synths at the same time, but it sounded awful, believe it or not.
I personally think I coulda done better, but I was running out of time when I made it, so I did it somewhat sloppily.
Anyway, thanks for the input, and the 4!

Very impressed

The melody here was what really set the mood for me, it was so calm and inviting.

I would have placed this in ambient, I feel it would have done better there.

I can't give a full review right now, but if you want email me, i'll send you my full thoughts later.

5/5 Zakk, keep them coming, you've got potential.

zakk123 responds:

Thnx man for the good review.Do you also make music. zakkdodds@hotmail.com

Wonderful...

its been too long Zeth! I'm glad you've decided to submit more stuff!

Well onto the review!

The gentle piano washed over my ears so pleasently. I felt maybe you could make them one octave lower, especially towards the end, because it becomes a bit twingy plunk, and too high pitched.

Making it a bit louder would work too.

The strings and the flute were what really set the mood however, without these two supporting that piano, this piece would have fallen apart.

Have you considered a harp in here? I can hear this piece having it, going up and down a chord.

I've put this to the ultimate test to see if it works, i've listened to it for LITERALLY 2 hours, whilst doing other things to see how effective it is, and then to score it according to how I feel after all that.

still gets 5/5 from me Zeth, keep them coming.

Good

heh, there was NO way I could understand those lyrics, but they seemed pretty insane themselves! I think that may be because you added a delay effect on them?

It has a nice solid beat on the background however, that keeps the song going!

4/5 this time Pedro, cuz I strained my poor ears trying to understand the lyrics --_--"

Still it was a pretty good attempt, keep them coming.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

sorry about your ears dude, get well soon:)
;ped

good stuff.

heh, you don't have to put the song specs in the description.

The melody at the beginning caught my attention right away! The drums you introduced later on, fit right in.

The transition from the beginning melody to the next however was too fast, and choppy. I would recommend either putting a crash, or a drum roll getting louder and louder to indicate great change is about the occur.

The sound effects you placed in the background works quite nicely.

Truly an ambient piece.

4/5 from me Hermit_Canal, keep them coming.

Hermit-Canal responds:

Thank you for taking the time on giving me
artistic direction.
Greatly appreciated, and noted.

Great!

how impressive!

I'm usually hardpressed to find a way to use the harpischord, but you've done very well here!

Also the strings you used, and how you used them were quite exceptional!

Then the flute and harpischord ending... immensely moving. Then the drums come in, making it all work.

You have moved me deeply with this piece

5/5 from me, keep them coming.

Love-Hate-War responds:

Heh, the harpsichord is a great instrument, no? I had a bit of trouble at first, I wanted to create something that sounded medieval and epic(harpsichord, flute, etc) and combine it with more modern sounds (Ie - holywood style strings, blues organ, etc), and being primarily a piano player I found the sustain on the harpsichord to be much shorter than I anticipated, lol. Im glad my music has moved you, it's all I ever intended to do, so thanks. I have more in the pipeline, so wtach out for them.

Jeesus...

I think your crazy!

That strange piano crash sounded awful, but intentional awful, not as in ew get rid of it awful.

What is that guy saying!?

I'm getting a bit paranoid now... WHY MUST THEY SCREAM >_<!

Heh, very effective piece man, truly scared me.

5/5, cuz your an insane nut, and I would like to see more work from you.

JohnFloyd responds:

Thanks! The guy (me) is mumbling a section of Revelations over and over. More is on the way!

Hurzah!

ah, much better!

It seems like an entirely new piece! I also noticed the changes you did.

There was one point for me, when things started getting cut out, that was a bit too rapid, the guitar playing the melody just cut out for me, not sure if it was intentional, but that confuzzled me X_x.

Still, an incredibly fine piece.

5/5 again.

Dj-SilenT-HunteR responds:

Made this song actualy for you.
You requested and you get it.
Thx for the idea.
Your songs is much better then mine :D
Thx again// SilenT-HunteR

Truly impressive.

Oh wow... the intro was so god damn catchy at the beginning, I decided to become late for my exams for this piece... damn you illumatiks, i've lost a good portion of time X_x.

Heh, nuf bout that, lets go onto the REVIEW!!

Hmm, well its got a very stable, very well built foundation, giving plenty of room for vocals and yet just as much room for any additions you might.

That repeating guitar melody you introduced was so strange, and yet fit right in there. Never would have thought of hearing that in there, well blended.

Don't get me startd with the piano, I love the piano and the melody you made it play t'was great!

For some suggestions.
I heard a flute in there somewhere, I think you should make it a bit louder, lets its voice be heard.

The drum beat is solid, no need to modify or change that, making it faster would make it disruptive to the flow, slower would not be fast enough.

5/5 illumatiks, keep them coming.

It's been one hell of a ride guys, but it's time for me to leave. I will still be looking at my inbox, if you want me to look at songs, I will check back every once in a while. Take care Newgrounds! full_metal_slashemist@hotmail.com AIM: MaestroSorrow
