[Law of Disorder 2]

Well composed

Not a bad track. I see where the title comes from.

My main issue is that it sounds a bit shallow. There is quite a lot going on, but in a track like this, it's always nice to have something thick to back it up, like synths playing in the back, throughout the track, ambient noises, something like that. I loved the melody of the synths, it's very intricate, feels all over the place and progresses throughout the song.

The drums aren't bad, the rhythms and beats you cooked up were pretty good, but the samples you've used are not the best. Especially the snare sounds fairly bad.

The track seems to drag out juuust a tad as well. At least the beginning is really slow. I love the sound the synths have at around 3.30. Feels like Daft Punk for a moment there :P

Really liked the outro and ending, just right ending to the track.

Thank you for the review! You're a great reviewer! :D I will keep your feedback in mind next time I make a song =)
I will try to find better samples (free...), and maybe experiment with having something "deep" beneath everything else.
Btw. norwegian WOOH!

[Before Mydnite 3 - F-777]

Damn

Dat intro! :B

But really, I loved the intro, shit got me hooked from the start to end of the track. Loving it.

The beat in the back, the drum samples, amazing, and the dynamics you used with them are pretty good. Synths you picked out are great, and I love the inclusion of the piano.

Track never gets boring, always something going on, and it never gets repetitive. Just all-round fun, dude!

F-777 responds:

Thanks so much man!!!

[SH - Flake]

Awesome beat

I'm not sure if your samples are the best, but the beat here is really amazing. Loving it.

Here's to hoping someone has neat lyrics to voice over the beats, that would def be sick.

Ending drags out a bit though.

[M3- A Starry Ocean's Breeze]

Very smooth

I could easily sit down by the sea listening to this in the evening.

The composition is really good. I'm not sure about the sax samples you used. If you recorded it yourself, I have to say they sound a bit too harsh for this sort of romantic, ambient track, a bit rough and harder than they should be.

The track is also a bit loud considering the theme of it all. I love the background synths, and the laidback drums are fitting.

the track gets quite repetitive though, which is a rather big problem. You should try varying up the melody a bit more.

Yeah, the sax was a sample that came with my software. It was the best I had.
I'll have to take a bit to think of an extended melody line. Can't just throw some random crap at it and hope it sounds good, it usually doesn't :P
Thanks for reviewing!

[Race to the finish]

Exhillerating

I'm pretty impressed with this, especially considering it's your first DnB track.

The entire track is quite fast-paced and has an energetic feel to it. Up until about 1.10, it feels a bit naked, but with the melody synth playing on top of the backing bass synth and the drums it sounds real good.

I really liked the dubstep elements you sneaked in. The wobbly bass sounds real good.

I still think some parts feel a bit naked and slowed down. The track wouldn't be worse off with a couple BPM extra.

Oh, and the build at 2.30 is so damn cool.

[Spirited Steed (Piano Improv)]

I can see that

Just the track itself is amazing, but to see that it's improv and that it's all based around such a story, I'm sort of at a loss for words.

I think what I like the most is the use of dynamics. A lot of improv tracks really lack that, but you did it with seeming ease. It's absolutely stunning.

Apart from a few notes that sound a bit off, I can't say there's anything wrong with this track. Love it.

Hi,
Thanks for the review :)
In a way I am glad that there are a few notes off here and there, otherwise people might not believe me that it was an improv. ^_^

Fortunately I recorded this piece digitally and so I might go back and clean up some of the notes here and there, and then upload the refined version for sale on bandcamp.com

Thankyou again for the review, it is most appreciated.
