Vote: 5

4.14 / 5.00 (+ 0.34)

This is an excellent piece of music! So many interesting sounds and little rhythms.

It won't keep still!

I like your games.
I like your music.
And most importantly, I like your Front Page Posts.

I will add this to my favorites!

Thank you, good sir!

GameBalance responds:

Someone likes my front page posts :P

But WTF it not matter compare to that someone likes my music! x-:)=

See?

[Smokin' Marijuana.]

I smoke marijuana but I don't inhale..............

I gotta admit that I quite liked this although I somewhat oppose the giddy sentiment...

People I have known over the years have been rendered vegetables by bad habits that have spiraled out of control. It's all a case of MODERATION! As long as you're enjoying the herb occasionally with friends then things are cool.

Problems start when you're waking up a 3am with a Crack syringe stuck in your prostate and somebody else's vomit in your mouth.

You seem like a nice chap so I will give you 9 stars.

I liked the "Funk Out" towards the end.

Keep smoking' (occasionally) but try to enjoy life without relying too much on the herbal remedies ;)

-sorbitol (drug free and proud).

TheCriminalDuder responds:

Awesome review! I agree with ya - though sometimes its fun to indulge heavily with friends just like when a bunch of buds get wasted beyond extreme. :P
Even I don't consider myself a heavy user. Some people I know get high 20 + times a day. :O

Glad ya liked it! Rock on!

Charming and Unique...

I found this really charming and unique.
It's the sort of thing I'd love to use in a cartoon but there is one problem which is the actual quality of the recording.

There is a lot of "muffling", especially during the third verse.
I'm not sure if "muffled" is a real word but if it is it would be a verb meaning "obscured sounds" - or something.

Other than that the lyrics were great and I loved this song.

I really love the slightly broken delivery of the word "stride" at 0:42.
That was truely special.

deadspread83 responds:

I'm glad you liked it. I'm not very good with sound, but I think I fixed most of the muffling. I appreciate the kind words.

[Damaged - One Night Stand]

Blimey!

That was f*cking excellent!
The girl has a fantastic voice!
In fact everything was great, drums, guitar the whole bloody lot!

I really can't think of how you can improve this so I will end my review without providing any constructive criticism whatsoever.

Hope to hear more in the future!

Daniel-M responds:

Thank you very much, we do have many more songs waiting to be rehearsed and recorded soon.

thanks for the score :D

[location frustration]

I'm impressed, yet again, good Sir................

You've got so many great sounds going on in your stuff, nothing ever sounds too "straight" or linear.
I like when things get moving from around 1.29 when the beat is a bit quicker and again at 2.38 when the quirky melody comes in although it all ends too soon!
My only suggestion would be to shorten the first minute or so and get to the main melody quicker and play it out a bit more. Maybe let it go a but more crazy.
Perhaps even make it loop so you get a continuous cycle of soft, quick, quirky and back to soft.

Those are my humble suggestions.

Overall: I am very happy to have discovered your music. I'll be checking some more.

THANKS!

snayk responds:

I had considered making the beginning a little bit shorter, but I was too attached to it to make the change :P

Thanks for the review!

[bold understanding of regret]

Very excellent, my good Sir......................>

There is so much good stuff going on here! I love it!
This tune evokes so many little ideas and pictures and would be PERFECT for a short animation.
I agree that it's sort of more DnB-ish than ambient but who cares? It's laid back with a mellow funk and a cool mysterious backing which I would have liked to have heard a bit more of, perhaps overpowering the main rhythm towards the end rather than staying in the background. But that's just an idea.
Overall, you did great work.

I'll have to check out some more of your stuff. I've only heard this and Location Frustration but I love your stuff!

snayk responds:

Cool. I'm glad you enjoy my music and I hope you like more of what you hear.

Thanks for the review.

["West-sidehed"]

Impressive stuff!

That's a great melody and I love the gunshots! There's a really nice subtle guitar sound that comes in about 1.17 and that really adds something.
Great vocals too, was that you doing them or was it sampled?
Either way everything clicked!

Voted 5: 2.85 (+0.44) = 3.27!

I got a feeling the score will be increasing on this one!

-sorbitol.
