"Review title"
date: August 3, 2009
The noisy, distorted pad, along with a subtle bass and a bass drum hit at every beat, establish a suspenseful atmosphere from the first moments. But that is quickly interrupted by the off-key glockenspiel- I think it's one semitone too sharp? You'll need to have that looked at, other than that everything flows nicely together.
After that, mostly everything keeps going in a familiar manner, nothing too exiting before the track hits the end. For a menu theme this should work well though. You might want to cut it off entirely at 2:00 to keep the a nice flow, after that point you're just watering down the track by removing its elements one by one.
Nice work on this one too, no major flaws (perhaps except the glock), but the track is nothing too special either.

Author's Response:
I agree the 'building down' of this track is indeed a bit too long. Note that wasn't intended to be exiting, it needed to have this certain 'menu' style.
I assume the beginning also might be too long, it takes something like a minute to get to where the theme fully starts.
Personally I thought the glockenspiel was something nice, that gave it a nice twist.
Thanks again for your constructive review, I shall take your advise in consideration for the next attempt/edit of another/this theme! :)
