[==(Let's Get Meditational]

Great!

Professional sounding stuff. Dynamic. And the synth solo came in at just the right time with just the right sound. 10!

[With a "bambambam"]

Only one comment

I don't understand the lyrics, and the music is not in a style that I like, so I will not say anything about that. The only comment I have is that I think your voice is way too loud compared to the rest of the music. When I turned my volume down so that the voice was not overpowering, I could barely hear the music anymore.

[Xclusive!]

Big sound, and not typical.

I like the huge, sweeping sounds & laid back feel. It's real airy. I can picture a really sexy girl singing about something really sexy on top of it. Keep uploading more stuff!

Dang! Loving this review, thanks :-)

[Abandon All Hope]

Great textures

I really like the feel of this one. It breathes well. If I had to offer criticism, I'd just say that it doesn't really "go anywhere."

I'd love to hear some kind of slow evolving growth that takes the length of the entire piece... even better would be a subtle melodic undercurrent that builds over time and eventually prompts some kind of change in the chord progression. Like a long journey to arrive at a different destination you know? But anyway, as a meditation on a single theme, it works well and has great sound ingredients. I like it a lot.

I know what you mean by "it doesn't go anywhere," you were expecting something a little more "soundscapey," if you know what that is.

Who knows? I might end up working with this track a little more, and turning it into some sort of a musical journey. Someday, when I've got a little more experience/

Tia kanto superfantazia!

(* That's how you say "this is a great song" in Esperanto).

Thanks =)

[Higher Level]

Sorry I didn't like it.

With the lead line so strong and out front like that - with such an abrasive kind of tone - it should be either really melodically interesting or else it should be really annoyingly catchy. It seems you were going for the catchy stick-in-your-head kind of thing, but IMO it didn't quite hit it, and to be honest it got pretty annoying after the first couple of times.

Californiasbetter responds:

I can respect what you're saying. Originally this song was meant to have lyrics whether it was r&b or rap. I decided to throw it out there so people would have the opportunity to fill in the blank on their own. So yeah it could use some type of melody line. Have at it!

[beans04]

Beans

Easily the best instrumental song about beans I've heard this week.

LfunkeyA responds:

good times

[Female Samurai]

Very nice

Good movement in this piece. You can tell you had a story in mind as you wrote it, and the idea it's executed well. Thx for sharing!

CardboardowI responds:

Thanks for the nine! glad you were able to get it.
