[Midnight Drive - TFT80s]

80stastic!

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: 80stastic!
Review: Some people just don't like this kind of music. I don't understand why. It's awesome.

I loved the bass, and the drums. Oh god, when the drums set in. That was so awesome. It really completed that 80s-feel I got from the bass in the intro.

Even though the song all throughout didn't really go anywhere, and was pretty repetitive, this one came out greatly. I don't really mind that it's a little repetitive, because I simply think it's awesome.

Also, a really cool outro. Nice stuffs!

Thanks, bro
Glad you liked it

[Invention No. 2]

Slight improvement

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Slight improvement
Review: Compared to Invention No. 1, that is.

Don't get me wrong, No. 1 was awesome, but this one sounded even better. Instruments were slowly introduced, and nothing came on right in your face. Everything fit perfectly together, and the only thing I really could want for was, no, not a loop, but simply a longer track.

A simple, yet really great, melody, that works soothing and sort of like an ambient track to the background of a slow-paced game.

[If You Say So]

Feel-good!

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Feel-good!
Review: I'd love to write this whole review in Norwegian, but I guess it's better to write it in English.

I've been listening a lot to Philter the later months, a real feel-good electronica artist from Bergen, and even though he's AWESOME, this is a great competition to him.

It was relaxed, laid-back, everything but unoriginal, and the melodies didn't clash with the drum n bass at all. The drums also sounded great, and I didn't really feel that they were repetitive.

The only complaint I have is the ending. Fading out is the eeasy, overused way to finish songs. See if you can find an alternative to it, but be careful. Endings can ruin a song.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know that I'm a worthy competitor to AWESOME artists! I'll work with the ending as previously said.

Er nok lurt å skrive på engelsk slik at allmennheten forstå ja;)

[Invention No. 1]

A little short

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: A little short
Review: This would've been better if it was looped.

That being said, it's still a great track. I could think of this as background music on some tycoon games, or as Insanimation says, The Sims.

Nice usage of instruments, but make sure they don't come on like a punch in the face. Tune it down, and build it up. That works better all the time.

I understand that you're still pretty new to this genre, which makes this even better. Looking forward to seeing some longer tracks of this kind from you later on. You've certainly got the potential.

Thanks for the review.

I definitely feel like every time I make a piece in this style, it gets better.

[Animation Voice Demo Reel 2]

Great range of voices!

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Great range of voices!
Review: Looks like Egoraptor finally got himself some competition, eh? :P

To put it short, the range of different voices here is awesome. I love the sound effects, and the way the voices fit perfectly to the characters. I would've never guessed that all of these voices came from the same guy.

I could've wished for some... more. A longer reel, that showcases more of your talent, whether it be serious voices or funny voices, but I'm still giving this a 10.

You sir, have made my NG life worth living! xD

I do love Mr.Raptor in all his own, but he's still got the flash technique over me! Competition between him, though; Very flattering, indeed, when most of NG is swarming his stuff (Myself included.)

Thank you for liking my versatility! I'm hearing alot of that, and it's helping me decide what will be added in the 2009 demo :)

lol. Wishing for more. Thanks :D
I tend to keep my demos around one-minute, because I also use them on the pro sites, and some advice I've been given is to keep them around a minute, because when sifting through auditions a casting producer won't want to listed to twenty 3 minute demos. Though, thanks! I'll be sure to keep in mind how much I slip in during my 2009 demo! :)

Thanks for the review!

Nothing special

===============
Score: 6 / 10
Summary: Nothing special
Review: Don't get me wrong, when I say "nothing special", that doesn't mean it's a bad track.

It just means that it isn't a great track. This somewhere in between, I can't really rank it as good or bad.

It's got a nice melody, played with pretty good instruments, but the melody didn't really peek through. Make it... stronger?

Intro, transition and outro was okay, but none of them were great. I don't understand why you're so unsatisfied with the outro.

Rhythms, repetitive, but with okay samples. Try more variation. I swear, it'll make wonders.

The main problem is the lack of variation in the track. You really need to make songs like these as diverse as possible, because this just doesn't cut it.
Cheers!

[p4c-Sometimes I Forget]

Amazing House

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Amazing House
Review: I'll be honest, I hate house, and I strongly dislike most techno and trance, but I still manage to constructively review it. This must be the best house-track I've ever heard.

Great melodies, with barely any repetitions and great instruments. The repetitiveness is something I can't really pull down for, because as far as I know, House songs usually are repetitive.

A great intro and lovely transitions, and an equally great ending. Even though there was almost 10 seconds of nothing after the song ended.

A lot of variation in the rhythmics section, which is great. I rarely hear tracks on NG that varies the rhythmics. This does. Great stuff.

haha if you like this one, you might want to take a look at some progressive house musicians like deadmau5 or jelo [youtube them]. its that kind of style i'm doing here. glad you liked it!

[Imperium]

Well-made

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Well-made
Review: This would fit perfectly as background music.

I pretty much like the whole song, with the possible exception of the instrument that comes in around 0:40. It just doesn't really fit in with the feel of the song.

It's got the war-feel over it, and I guess that's what you wanted, and you made that happen. well done! Sadly, it is a little repetitive. Even if it's bg-music, it needs to change once in a while, so you should absolutely do something about that.

Intro was a great build-up to the start of the song, and transitions were exquisite. However, the ending wasn't very good. If this is background-music that'll play all throughout a game, it will prbably loop, so you should look at that.

Good instruments, and a nice usage of a voice in there. Could possibly use it even more, but it isn't necessary at all, it'd just make the song a little cooler.

This is sick!

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: This is sick!
Review: Oh god, this is one of the awesomest tracks I've heard on NG!

It's fast-paced, it's hyperactive, and it's an all over fun song to listen to. The track that won in the contest must've been amazing, because this was awesome. I'm surprised it didn't win anything.

Loved the drums and especially the melody. The glitching was incredible, fit perfectly into the song.

I'm really at a loss for words. You know, it's much easier to review a bad song, but when they're this good, it's hard to find anything bad to say.

Loved the intro, loved the transitions, and loved the ending. Great job!

[SN |Eidolon| SN]

Nice use of glitches

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Nice use of glitches
Review: I really liked your use of glitches, even though they, at times, threw me off.

Really a great track, not as relaxing as your other one, but still a great song.

I like the intro, and I love it when we first hear the glitching. Took me by surprise, and that's usually a good thing. It was a bit overdone at times, but still, very well used.

I actually liked the outro, thought it might've ended a little sudden. I'm not sure what you could do to fix it or make it better, so you might as well just leave it as is. The transitions were, as far as I could hear, pretty, much flawless.

Great instruments, love the background tune and the piano, and the rhythm ws great, especially when combined with the glitch.
