Cool

Good choice of instruments and explanation.
I was thinking the same thing when I made mine for the contest.

Who wants another classical piano song, right?
You're competing with Chopin and Mozart.
Hehe.

But yeah. Nice song, I like the historic feeling. I would like a hook, as it's kinda just plodding along wherever it wants. But progressive songs are cool too.
This song would do well in one of those war videogames (Civilization and the like).

Draqo responds:

I'm running out of stuff to say for responses to reviews.

Thanks for the review? :D

Nice.

Takes me back.
Every once in a while a chord will strike that makes me think I'm listening to some older Metallica.

I can respect that you had the nuts to keep the simple guitar going the whole time and not dressing it up.

But yeah, good work.

Awesome

The simplicity of the first minute is amazingly lonely and sad.
To be honest I would have preferred that the whole song and don't like what comes after.

Also I would prefer just the filtered background voice. The foreground voice seems too... low quality and dispassionate and a bit overpowering.

The lyrics are ok. They don't grab me but at least they don't sound cheesy (which most do, tbh).

Anyway that's a lot of criticism, but I really do think the beginning is fantastic (!), and I would like to hear another version taking into account what I said. :)

SuperMusic responds:

Hmmm, the original version I had was only the filtered backround voice but as you can see (from past reviews) no one liked it or could understand it.

But now... Bad Man Inc. and you say you like the voice... i'm so confused! Can't please everyone I guess >_>... i'm still debating whether or not to change it back.

I like it!

It sounds cheesy until :15 when that raspy synth comes in.
That really gives the song a nice texture.
Feels like my ears are drinking a refreshing soda hehe.

There are a lot of complicated melodies going on, and they all work together very well.

Syntrus responds:

I just healed your ears by ten hp.

I dig it.

The intro has such a movie-like quality.
Reminds me of children on some magical adventure, haha.

This song in general doesn't make me sad, it just takes me back to childhood and imagination-land for some reason (the high pitched xylophone-like theme throughout probably has something to do with it).
But what someone gets from the song is totally subjective, so who knows.

Good job!

sculpted-cold responds:

Ah man, I thought I responded to all the reviews.

I would like to be a composer for movies, but it will never happen. I can see why you wouldn't get sadness out of the first half of this, but the second half is pretty depressing to me. What gets me is I didn't even place in the damn contest!

Thanks for the review!

Pretty good!

It sounds a bit derivative of "Clubbed to Death" from The Matrix (maybe unconciously), which is ok but it's such a widely used and known song.

Still, I think you did a good job on this.

Scribbler responds:

Someone else mentioned the same thing and now I can see the similarities, though I still think my track is a bit different. Thanks for the kind words.

That's awesome!

Great bassline!
You have a lot of really nice music that I wasn't aware of.

Ch3ck3rB0ard responds:

thanks man that really means alot coming from you! i love your music its osm
and punkish xD i am broke right now so i can not afford new software to make better synth for some of my songs i made the bass sound that way adding fuzz and tone depth on my amp. thanks!

Good lord.

That was awesome.

Cool

The riffs are good. I like Wrath of Ikana's composition better though.
I'm really confused 'cause I've heard this song in it's different incarnations in random places all over the net.
Are they public loops or what?

Either it's pretty sweet.

Pretty good

Do you guys like Strung Out?

You sound just like them.
