[RC - FL9: Stop.]

Huh.

The composition is really good, but I'm hearing lots of FL Studio defaults. There's nothing wrong with that, per se, but you should try to mess with the instruments a little bit. I think you'll be more satisfied with the sounds the more you can customize them.

We'll see. ^ ^

[[TC] Victory Rising]

Gripping

Right off the bat, this song took my attention. As others have said, however, the whole middle of the track was well composed, but not fitting. The rest of the song was, for lack of a better term, really energetically contagious. I felt like there was a charisma to it, and then after about a minute, it seemed to lose that. It was still very well made, but I felt a bit let down.

[To the End of The World 2 DEMO]

Interesting

Generally, when an artist makes a sequel to their own song on NG, I'm not a huge fan; they're quite often overdone, over-the-top versions of their predecessors. This, however, is very intriguing. The percussion was really the element that caught my attention. If the rest of the song will sound like this, then I think you've got another smash hit in the works.

[Deadly Shivers]

No problems

As far as I can tell, this song is pretty flawless. There are only a few timing errors (some notes are a little misaligned), but I think I remember that you record your instruments live, so it's understandable. Nice job! I felt very relaxed and empowered by this.

BatesyBates responds:

Yeah, thanks for the review!

[-Blind not Deaf-]

Enjoyable

I really liked it. There was a really great flow in this song. This may sound weird, but I honestly felt like I was watching water falling over rocks. The melodies and instruments are very well chosen. I definitely can't complain about any of the sounds. The mastering was also really great. The bass at around 1:50 is especially delicious. Very nice song overall, I can definitely see how this was inspired by Envy.

[Gilgamesh-Bridge Battle]

Well...

You seem to have the notes down and everything, but the instruments are really annoying and you need to increase the BPM massively.

P1KM1NM4N responds:

Yeah, I know. It's hard to make good music with the demo version of fruity loops, not being able to save work and all. Thanks for the review I might try some stuff later and see if it sounds good.

[*- Solara(Full Version) -]

Awesome.

I can't tell you how many hours of road trip have been filled with this song. It probably saved me from a death by boredom on several occasions. My iPod wouldn't be the same without it! Great song, I love the choice of synths and the arrangement is great.

Jebbal responds:

i love hearing stuff like this :) can't lie, i've spent a lot of time listening to this song in the car too haha i don't care if its my own song. BUT i have the extended version unknown to newgrounders so i get to jam for an extra 30 seconds! glad you like this!

Thanks for the review!

[Burning Water]

I doubt this is your first song

It may be the first one you uploaded, or perhaps the first one you made in FL Studio, but there's no way this was your first ever time composing music. I'm not saying you don't have talent, because you do, but I can hear things in this song that I didn't even know existed in FL Studio until I had used it for more than a year.

Firefreezer responds:

This was the very first song I made in FL Studio. I didn´t have any other music-composing-software before.

But you know what? I´m playing piano since I was born. ;-)

[DJ Cloud - When Angels Cr]

Interesting...

I enjoyed this a lot. The chord progression was very gripping. I loved it. It felt very mysterious, and the instruments all synced perfectly. I followed the progress of the song very easily, meaning it has a natural flow to it. The only thing is that it gets a bit repetitive towards the middle, and it's kind of disappointing since everything else about the song is so good.
