excellent, excellent song. More than anything else, it's rediculously funky. I mean that is just a sweetass bassline, can't get better than that.
And god damn, is that guitar good! I mean, the whole song is just one bad ass solo, its stays creative and catchy throughout the entire song, and thats hard when you're pretty much solo'ing for 4 minutes. So yeah, give my compliments to Frank, that is just crazy good
Love the drums as well, they serve as a great background with enough fills to keep things interesting :D

incredible job all around, sounds great, keep it up

"good start"

So I think this song is a good start to a great song, but there are some major areas where it could be improved.

Firstly, the instrument used for the main melody is a bit strange because it blocks out the other sounds while it is playing; this is especially noticeable during the intro, where when that instrument plays the bass cannot be heard. I think you could EQ that instrument a bit to make it less overbearing, or just change the main instrument altogether, as the current one is almost weak. Another thing to work on would be the percussion, for while the percussion you've included sounds good, it just doesn't have the amount of power and influence in the song I was looking for. I would make the kick deeper and bassier and have the offbeat hi hat be a little more noticeable in the song. I do think the bass throughout the song sounds good, along with the other sound effects you've used.
One more criticism would be to throw some ambience and background sounds in there. I realize that the original doesn't have a whole lot going in the background, but there are parts of this where it simply feels empty, and I think some ambience and background noises would help to keep it interesting while still keeping the focus on the main melody.

Overall, this is well done and stays fairly true to the original. However, I think you could greatly improve it bringing out the instruments you currently have a bit more and adding a bit more in the back to ensure things stay interesting, for while the remix is good, I think you could try to make the song a bit more unique and a bit more your own with some extra sounds and instruments. Hell, I would even throw in a counter melody in there to spice things up. Anyways, just play around with a bit, you've got a great start here

This sounds awesome man. What really stands out is how sharp the song sounds, everything is very clear and really has a lot of power to it. The synths sound particular good, and the percussion is mastered perfectly. All around it sounds fucking awesome, send me a PM when you come out with the full version

very calm and atmospheric
Sounds great in the background while I'm doing homework, it makes math seem much more epic than it actually is
I really like around 6:55 when that bassy instrument comes in, really gives the song a powerful dark feel
Sounds fantastic all around :D

haha this piece is awesome! I really like how its put together, sounds really authentic classical, especially the beginning. I actually laughed while listening to it; it has that medieval faire kind of feel, but at the same time its really upbeat and happy, to a point where can help laughing at the cheesiness of it. I know way too little about this genre to criticize anything, but the song sounds fantastic, so well done :D
5/5

this is an incredible song :D

Good: The vocal work in this is absolutely fantastic. I don't know how much of the vocals is you, but either way it sounds incredible, its incredibly high quality and the way the vocals are incorporated into the song is amazing. I also really enjoy the strings, especially at the beginning, they really give the song that mellow hiphop feel. Speaking of which, I would say this should be put in the hiphop genre; feels much more like a hiphop song because of how much it is centered around the vocals. In general, the background sounds and effects sound great, they really give the song a really full feeling that sounds great to listen to.

Bad: The only criticism I have is that at the beginning the drums sound more like a trance/techno drum beat than a hip hop beat, but later on the drums become a little more hiphoppish so thats not really a big concern.

Overall, this is pretty much flawless. Its professional in every way, and I could easily imagine this being played on the radio or in clubs. Really fantastic job, this is one of the better songs I've heard on NG

I actually enjoying this quite a bit. Its clear that this is just something thrown together, as its really as simple as you can get in terms of HHC techno, but I still enjoyed it quite a bit. The main synth is really fun to listen to, and overall the whole song is quite catchy and.... bouncy. Anyways, nice job, I commend you for making such a catchy song in such a short period of time

also, the glitch is f'ing awesome :D

"nice"

submission: Entransient (Demo)

date: August 25, 2008

This is a really cool and unique piece, I enjoyed it. I think the strong points of the song is both the piano and the well done ambience; the piano with delay sounds REALLY good, and its coupled really well by all the sounds you include in the background (such as the bells). The ambience is also very well made and mastered, its a good saw-ish background that adds to the bigger parts but doesn't detract much either.

The parts I didn't like were the were the lead synth and the drums. For whatever reason, I just didn't find the lead synth that appealing; later on in the song, when its matched with the piano it sounds much better, but earlier on in the song when it stands by itself I just didn't find that power and sound I was kinda hoping for. This could be personal preferance, but I think you could probably add to it a bit. Other thing would be the kick. I don't think it was quite as powerful or as effective as it could have been, but again, could simply be my preference, and after all this isn't really a dance song. I would say just plug the kick into fruity parametric eq2 and play around with things until you get a sound you like.

Overall, this sounds really neat, its incredibly unique and has a great sound.
you got a 5 from me :D
