[*Interlude*]

Wow

Sounds Megaman-esque. I wish this was a BVG contribution, it'd be perfect. The beat is nice and the pull of the heavy flow is great, just when it lightens up and brings you into it again. Nice work.
Very nice work.

WritersBlock responds:

It's one for the album. ;D Shame I didn't pick up on the "megaman-esque" of it...
Thanks for the review.

[Phantom Chaos Zone]

Defintely sounds GameGear style

This totally sounds like a Game Gear Sonic title. Like the 3rd or 4th level. Unfortunately, the name doesn't fit the music, but I won't nit-pick. Great Work WB!

WritersBlock responds:

Cheers.
I guess it's kind of like Death Egg from Sonic and Knuckles in the sense that it's the big final level/ship thing, and the music isn't apocalyptic mad crazy whatever. Phantom Chaos is just a name like "Death Egg", so the name/music doesn't really affect the gameplay and level, even if it's just imaginary...

Thanks for the review.

[_-={The Deads Witness}=-_]

Something feels missing

I just can't seem to get into this. The pace is too slow, but it lacks the flow that a slow song would have. It picks up later on, but no by enough to raise my opinion. Something about it is really hollow.

MaestroRage responds:

so what you're saying is you don't agree with the dynamics of the song? That it doesn't flow in what you believe a slow song should? To each their own I suppose. This song was designed to tell a depiction of characters and I was too lazy to point out all the details behind it. However you can rest assured knowing that the way the song is now, does the job relatively well.

Who knows, maybe you would have liked it more if it were a sonic remix ;)

Thanks for the review.

[BVGC - Emerald Hill Zone]

I like it.

Its cool, calm and so Sonic-esque. Nice work. I might do a remix of the 2P version.

[Sorrow in Circuitry]

Sweet flow.

I like it. Details are vague, but its good. It seems like it skips somewhere in there.

Syntrus responds:

Thx Knux

[.galaxies.]

Hmm.

Your string is kinda ripply. Other than that, its cool. But this feels more Trance than popular.
Doesn't matter, nice work.

[Elevation.]

Nice

Has a VG touch to it, I like.
The change in emotion is however somewhat of a bad thing for me.

[DbX - Plains of Time (remix)]

Hmm.

I never heard this before, which is weird considering I've watched someone play Chrono Cross tons of times. Excellent work. I think I may do a remix of this.

Shamukh responds:

Haha. It's Home World's overworld music. :P

A lot of it is my own though (well... not a LOT, but the softer parts, with no percussion, those are my own melodies, and aren't in the game).

Thanks for the review!

Oh, and if you wanna hear the original, you can catch me on AIM. :P

[[TMM43] Spring Trance]

A bit loud with headphones

Not too bad, it has that good techno kick, but not too headphone friendly, it sounds a bit scratchy and the kick is a bit off for me, its fuzzy. Other from all that, nice work.

[Fantasia No. 1 (Demo)]

Pouts.

Your still better than me. I need some violins and violas, I have a cello, but it sucks.
Nice job, I don't need to say anymore...

WritersBlock responds:

I just used DSK Strings, is all. Added a bit of reverb.
And I don't really think it's a case of who's better than who. There's tons of people better than me, and I just feed off their music and learn from what they did to make their music good, and what they could have done better. When you start making more original songs, you sort of develop your own style, in time. I'm still heavily experimenting with styles here and there, learning techniques. I have no idea as to what I want to settle down and make, if I want to settle down to one genre. I appreciate lots of genres, and I test them. I'm more comfortable with classical, there's no real extra know how needed about synths etc, it's all composition. Whereas a simple techno tune, repetitive as hell, seems a little beyond me, I'm doing a lot more trial and error, backtracking and experimenting.

Thanks for your review.
