[Anger Has A Place]

Damn

That's possibly the most energetic and hardcore techno track I've heard on NG... ever.

So extremely fast-paced, I don't have much experience with hardcore techno, and never even heard of Frenchcore, but it's not bad.

The crisp sound to the synth really brings it down and dirty on the track, really liked it. At times it does sound just a bit off-beat and messy, but I'm not sure if that's somewhat intentional, might just be me.

Really like how you slowed it down around 2.30. The vocal samples really sounded great as well. Not much use of transitions, though, between fast and slow-paced parts, but might not be necessary either.

A bit repetitive, but that's not an issue at all, as there's always something glitchy going on.

Hum, yes.

It's not a bad track, and I can hear how you decided not to have much planning. The song honestly is quite the mess. There's a thin line between experimental electronica and just a bloody mess, and this is juuust barely crossing into the messy part of the scale.

I really think it could've done well with some more bass throughout the song. It feels very shallow, like there's not much depth to it. The synths are not bad, but they seem to clash with eachother at times.

I liked the silent part in the middle, that made the song teeter more towards the experimentalism, but the song itself is quite repetitive as it starts right back on track afterwards. it all gets a bit hectic.

I really liked your way of ending the song, though. That was neat.

mhm, i see. like i said, i didn't really plan out everything correctly, but you are right, it's tonality isn't very good, and so i might change some things, like in the description.
and yes, bass has been my greatest problem in all of my songs. i can't find the right amount, and the right loop to fit perfectly. but try to look forward to one of those times. and the repetitive bits were, well, a bit stupid now that you;ve mentioned it.
but its ok. im still trying to get there. im not fully qualified at making music, and there is always improvement that i must reach.

A tad cheesy

It's a very well done track, but it's nothing new or original, and it does sound a bit cheesy towards the beginning.

It certainly has everything necessary for a dance track, though it reminds me more of trance at times. The rhythms are simple and thudding, really leaving a mark on the song and pushing it forward, making it energetic and perfect for a club hit.

The piano however I find to be a bit cheesy. It's overused in genres like trance and dance, and I don't really feel like they add anything to the song.

The sampels you'd used for the vocal were a nice addition though, very dancey. Same goes for the synths you'd settled for, perfect for the song and the genre you were going for.

[Solus- 12]

Amazing

Very, very good use of dynamics in this track. Loved the intro and the crescendo during the buildup. Actually gave me the chills when the brass started playing. I loved your use of the bells as well.

I was pretty much enthralled throughout the entire track. The strings, the piano, everything works out just in perfect harmony. It's tragic, it's amazing, it's not exactly cheerful, I'd love to put words to it, but I don't feel they'd do the justice. People just need to listen to this.

Favorited, easily. Amazing track. You can do huge things with your skill, that is for sure.

Skeptical

This review might very well be influenced by the fact that I absolutely adore the Elder Scrolls series, and I don't really like this remix of it. It's not bad, but I just don't think it fits the original nature of the song.

That said, your use of the buzz synths sound really good, you follow the melody but make it sound so much more energetic and dirty.

Criminal scum.

[Endless Day of Grass Fiel]

Glitchy synths

I love it. Really wouldn't mind lying in the sun to this track, it really feels damn good.

I love your use of the acoustic guitar, it really works out so well, gives that atmospheric feel to the entire track. The combination between electronical music and the acoustic guitar is so good, and with the rhythms kicking it, wow, this could easily become a summer hit for me.

Love it.

[Acid Paradox - Progressive]

Emotional and energetic

This song has pretty much all that I can think of that a song needs. It has emotional parts, energetic feel to it, and a generally good composition.

The intro might be a bit dragged out, but I loved the track as a whole. The bloops were well used, synths very good, and I loved the drums when those kicked in, the bends on some of those synths were really cool.

Diverse and original. 10/10 and 5/5!

[Rainbow Cruise]

Amazing cover!

Must be one of the most cheerful songs I've heard today. I love this cover version, really well done, and reminds me of playing Marion on the N64 at my friends place. IT's not hectic, it's just really entertaining, fast-paced, with so much fun stuff happening. Really recognize lots of the parts in this song from the game.

The rhythmics you did here were if anything better than in the original and really adds something to it. It does however feel a bit shallow at times, maybe due to a lack of any proper bass. I do hear the bass, but it's so soft and low that it's not very audible and doesn't supply much to the song.

Great cover, loved it (:

Shanath responds:

Ah, thank you. Yeah, I do agree the bass is barely audible with all the other things going on at once. I'd probably try to fix that but my computer takes forever to render songs so it'll probably take a while if I get to that.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. :3
