[{-^MP^-} Techno Funk! V2]

kickass

Another awesome one from you. I just read Nav's review, and his criticism is exactly why I like this song and your other so much; I despise repetition and really slow buildups, and these songs are jampacked with sounds and synths that are constantly changing and revolving around the bassline, keeping it really exciting to listen to. I love that constantly shifting style, its incredibly addictive to listen to, and you nailed it here. Everything sounds fantastic, the techno aspects meld together well with the funk, and you picked a good variety of instruments and synths to portray both halves. Really, this style of music is what I hope to be able to make one day.

Every second of this song is gold, its just so incredibly interesting to listen to. Keep making stuff and telling me about it, I'll never get tired of it.
5/5 and 10/10
Hope ya make best of the week, its definately deserving of a spot there

Musical-Pants responds:

Yes, it's not the best dance tune because it's not six minutes long, with the main chorus repeated every five seconds. But if people find my stuff fun to listen to, I've achieved my goal.
I originally had the beat coming in much slower, but then it started to sound like EVERY other techno/rave song ever made, and that wasn't going to work for me. So I threw a fast and funky drum intro in there, and everything kinda took off.
Thanks a heap for the glowing review, this is why I make music.

P.S. I hope i make best of the week too ;)

[Hidden in the mist]

neat

This is a damn cool loop. I especially like the beginning, sounds great. All the percussion and various instruments are utilized well; it all sounds great. Nice job, 5/5

leaderoffheidiots responds:

[{Forever Young} [cnb Remi]

epic

a kickass and rediculously well made song. One of your best for sure

[From Inside]

wow

This is really REALLY good. I'm really astounded, its been along time since I've heard professional level rock on NG. Everything really sounds great; I love the vocals and guitar riffs, they're really creative and bring this song past just a generic rock song. Drums are also great; I'm a drummer also, and those are some great beats, really add to the song while not being distracting, well done there. Overall the song is really creative and fun to listen (especially the guitar solo), fantastic job
5/5 and 10/10

Satoris responds:

Hey, thanks very much for the review. Sorry I didn't get to you sooner, I'm in the middle of moving and it's hard for me to get to a computer unless I'm at work because I haven't had the chance to get the electricity turned on! >.< Anyway, thanks for the drum compliments, I'm the drummer of the band, it means a lot. Thanks again for listening.

good song

Another great progressive one from you. My favorite part is right at 1:20 when that plucked bassy synth comes in, sounds great. AGain, the pads are incredible, really bring out the progressiveness of the song and give it the atmospheric feel that it has. Everything is mastered perfectly, its all very well done

another 5/5 from me

[[TMM43]Heal]

wow

This is really well made, definately deserving of top 30. For starters, the pads sound fantastic, throughout the song they create a really fantastic background for the synths. The bass and gated instruments really sound great, they don't overpower but still bring alot to the song; they definately give the song the life that it has. Lead synth is awesome too, its incredibly well mastered, is at the perfect level to stand out but not be too out there. Really great song all around, you've got a 5 from me

[Victory! (8-bit Chiptune)]

awesome!

this is one of the coolest 8bit or 16bit songs I've heard! Totally creative and fun to listen to, sounds like it should be in a cheesey action game for the NES, as I'm sure was your intention. ANyway, great job, kickass song

[{-^MP^-} Waves of Glass]

Holy mother of god

this is AWESOME. I'm a percussionist, and am a bit obsessed with great sounding drums, and my god, this is well done. How could you think my song's percussion was good when you've made this? The bongos are incredible, tamborine and triangle backs it perfectly, and then the cross sticking tops it off brilliantly, its like some wierd rock/samba. The piano is also well done, I love how the strings and piano intertwine near the beginning, and then the drums come back in full swing. Right about 1:20 is the coolest, the piano melody really expands and then the guitar comes in... this hardly sounds electronic, which is a hard accomplishment. My only critique AT ALL is the ending, I'm guessing you just got bored or ran out of ideas...? but a proper ending would pretty much guarentee it being one of my favorite songs.

Really, this is fantastic, a shame the score is so low. You blended about 5 different genres (classical, rock, jazz, samba) perfectly, and it sounds incredible. I mean, jesus man, this song is so close to being one of the coolest things ever, make an ending that does the rest of the song justice!! Until then, I'm fiving the shit outta this thing

Musical-Pants responds:

I really appreciate the review!
I still mean to extend it, but my progress has been hampered by a corrupt file, so now i'll have to use a backup.
As for the genres, it went originally into classical rock, but it didn't seem to fit.
So now we have new wave, and i'm beggining to wonder if it even fits there.
But again, thanks a bunch for the review, and watch out sometime soon for the finished product.

[Russia Privjet - F-777 mix]

another great one

Love it, not much else to say. A few things that stood out: great lead synth for the first part, really cool sound. All the sound effects are fantastic, that 16bit bubbly sounding thing is just awesome, helps add quite a bit to the song. The synth you use for the bassline is also great, reminds me of waterflame's basslines which are about as good as they can get in my mind. I also REALLY like how much variety there is in this song, as I pretty much despise repetitiveness, it stays interesting throughout.

I gotta say, this is my favorite of all your songs. You've got a 5, 10, fave, and download from me :D
