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

Score: 9

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

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

Cool loop here, I especially like the violin at the beginning, it creates a somber and intense feel that is what makes the loop so powerful. I really enjoy it, the drums are well done, they sound very relaxed and calming, and the other instruments in the background work well also. Nice job :D

boy am I glad I came across this. The song has such a cool feel, I feel like I'm drugged out watching a sunset. Everything you've done with the song is bloody fantastic, has one of the coolest and most unique sounds and feels I have ever heard in a song. You've got a fav and dl from me :)

Sorry for taking so long to review, I haven't been getting in much NG time recently due to school (although I gave the song a 5 during the first week it came out). Anyhoo, here's my attempt at a formal review

the good: For starters, this song is fantastic in that I think it shows real development on your part as a music composer. I've noticed that with your songs you use alot of the same techniques and instruments, and this is the first song i've heard that really and truly breaks away from your style and creates something totally new. So just for that, great job :D On top of that, this sounds bloody fantastic. I'm listening to it with a pair of 130 dollar headphones and it sounds AWESOME. The most noticeable are the pads, which sound beautiful, and what you did with cutoff frequencies ensures that they sound great but are changing at the same time. The sidechaining is also well done, it works well in the background during the more intense parts and adds a flavorful element. The intro is incredibly well done, its one huge swell that pulls you into the song and then kinda brings you back down, really a creative way to start it off. The drums are also well made, and the cymbals or tambourine or whatever you throw in there adds another cool element to the song. What really stands out in the song is the amount of variety and feeling in each part; everything transitions beautifully and stays interesting and has a really "full" sound, its really just incredible to listen to. This is by far your best work, and I'm blown away by it.

The bad: nothing. I tried to listen to this specifically for errors and couldn't find any.

Overall, this is fantastic, like you said with my last song, you have completely and utterly outdone yourself. You've got a (second) 5, a dl, and a fav from me.
Again, sorry for taking so long to review, and try to give my new song (rucklo rave) a listen if you get a chance :D

Oh and keep PM'ing me when you release new stuff, I'd love to hear it all

This is really cool, i really enjoyed it. I like what you did with the drums, especially the rolls and whatnot, you used them well to build the song up, and the highpass ones near the beginning sound great. You've also got a great selection of synths here; the beginning one is okay (I might work on making it a bit more unique) but I really like the lead saw, sounds great, and you've got a good melody going. The percussion breakdown, as I'll call it, near the end is great too, i realize this is just a demo but I hope you incorporate it into the song. Nice job all around, PM when you finish the song, I'd like to hear it

boy did I hate this song when I first heard it. I thought the bass was terrible and it all sounded muddled, and I only listened to a minute or two leaving it in disgust.
Now though... I'm listening to this and its fantastic. The instense drums mixed with that dirty bass creating such a raging background, this song feels like a genre of its own, as its more intense and powerful than any song I've ever heard. I came back to listen to this after I heard oscillists version of the song; while I love his version, this just has an intensity and feeling which I've never really heard from a song. Its so intensely powerful that youre drawn into the world it creates, and I think how everything is a bit muddled together contributes greatly to that power.
I'm really blown away by this; I'm not sure what changed, but I'm now a new fan of this song.

Score: 10

One of my favorite NG songs. I remember when it was on the weekly 5, and I've been listening to it constantly since then. Love the sounds of the song, the synths you use sound incredible, and its great how you changed the futurama melody but still kept the core of the melody there. Fantastic job on this one, I'll continue to listen to it constantly, great to see it get back up to a spot of recognition
