[RD2011 - Escape From Robotland]

This is nice!

This track is awesome. I really do like this one. Before I even read the description, I thought this was for a video game and then I read you were inspired by VG OSTs. I love video game music so this one was quite awesome to me and it made me nostalgic for older video games like N64-ish (especially the first part) with higher quality music but that's just me This really has a lot packed into it but it all fits and flows together extremely well. I've heard songs from other users that try to just put a whole bunch of variations which, it sounds fine, but it just doesn't flow as nicely. This track is pretty top notch and I like that a lot. Plus the whole nostalgia trip really got me, even if that really wasn't what you were going for hehe.

5/5 10/10

Thanks a bunch, buddy ^^ I'm glad you liked it. Such submissions are become pretty rare nowadays, in this case because of the length. People want immediate mainstream music (or sometimes, "music") and they don't actually care about quality... at all. I plan to do some VG covers somewhere in the future, so stay tuned ;)
Thanks again, have a great day

[Flashburn - Halcyon Boy 88]

Awesome Song

I LOVE all the synths used in this song, the effects to a lot them were nice too. I liked the intro also. Smooth fading synths like that always get me hehe and then it kicks in with an awesome beat to top it off. Great job you've done here. :D

[ZzCrystalinezZ]

Kewlness!

This songs pretty awesome. I liked the intro and well also everything else but yeah it has a great melody and, as expected, epic guitar skillz!

[Wait where did the synth go?]

Kewl!

Yeah well at least it still sounds kewl eh? It goes from a synth funk sort of song to a computer-y synth song thing if that's a good way to describe it and that's just awesome :D. I like that it has a little funny story with it as well LOL.

[Orchestral Theme 1]

Yes!!

This is EPIC-LY AWESOME. It really sounds like it would be in a movie or something. Great stuff!

Gravey responds:

Epic is always a word I like to see used to describe my music. ;-)

[NightTrain-IDN]

Awesome!

So, I was just searching for music and found this. I really like this song, it sounds kewl. I like all the instruments used and I really like the style as well. Iss pretty relaxing and kewl and stuff

ID-N responds:

great, thank u :)

[Is This Death ?]

Nice

This song's pretty kewl. I like the intro sounds. The beats pretty nice too. I like the mellowness of it . :D

[Dream Runner Revampd-lidlurch-]

Awesome one!

This one, to me sounds really kewl. I LOVE the intro . I must say, you've definitely captured a dark sort of dream like scene here. I like the calmness of it. The drums are pretty awesome too. I like those although sometimes it sounds like the volume gets lower and higher right in the middle of a drumline. Another thing, the ending seems to end very abruptly but with a fade out. It sounds kind of weird yo me I guess. Maybe if the fade out were slower or somthing but yeah anyways, good job :D.

lidlurch responds:

yeah i tried to get a pulsing sound from the drums, but when i crescendoed for an transition, it sounded kind of weird, so i fixed it up as best as i could. well, the thing is that i use fade outs all the time :P those were the two main problems of the song, thanks for the great review!

[Forming Anesthetic]

Nice into,,,,

...and stuff. It sounds like it has some sadness in there and then it goes off into a dark sort of beat and then it just gets more dark. After reading the description I guess I could hear this in some kind of zombie movie/game or whatever form of media that deals with an epidemic, but I like zombies. I like all the instruments and how you use a lot of different ones. It's kewl.

lidlurch responds:

Thanks, thanks, and thanks! Yeah, the more i listen to it, the more I think of a dirty town in shackles because of quarantine, and of people in white suits trying to heal them over and over again.

[Bass Crusher]

Dark and almost relaxing???

Yeah in a way I feel it's a bit relaxing but maybe, that's just me. I also wish the volume was louder but I can't really complain, I have the same problem.

I agree, it is pretty unpredictable and it seems a bit random at times but still good. It shows that your music can be versatile.

I like the piano with the beat at the first part. I wanna say make it louder but I think that's just because I want to hear it more. I think the volume you have now stays with the mood. Overall, I really like the dark mood different instruments.

lidlurch responds:

Yeah, eq's can be tricky with songs like this one..I still have to figure it out :P

Thanks! I just hope I can learn how to make smoother transitions. Most people don't like songs that skip around a lot.

I plan on detailing the piano a lot more, due to popular demand. It seems a little too simple for this kind of song, but i'm really not sure what to do with it without making this song sound dirty and unorganized. Yeah, that seems to be the only kind of music i can make sound well. Thanks for the review!
