I was hearing this melody in my head, couldn't rest until I get it out...so here it is.
Originally named "Flying" but I have the Flight in Freedom submissions to fly away...
Not anymore a work in progress, I'm pretty much sure that is the final version, at least for the free version for Newgrounds.

"Fantastic Work"

Wonderfully written and performed. My hat goes off to you.

Only one minor issue - the pads seem too loud at times - but that could be just me. Still it's not enough of a problem for you to get any less than ten stars.
Keep up the awesomeness. :)

The only thing keeping down the score is that there are no lyrics to it. You should write some :)

"Awesome!"

I love the composition here, especially when that orchestra comes in. Catchy, euphoric...all in all, a great song!

The only problems I had with the piece were some of your instrument choices. The synth bass seems to be a bit flat. It sounds better when all the instruments come in, but when it's playing the higher notes, you can hear the detuning. I'd rather hear a plucked electric bass.

The oboe you have going sounds quite synthetic. Try swapping it out for some epic rock organ sounds...I think that would sound awesome! :D

Keep up the good work!

Thanx man, really appreciate your review.
The bass it's supposed to be a fretless bass with chorus, guess it's not very realistic :p That's what you end up with if you stick to freeware (like I do).

Oboe and also flute in some places sounds quite synthetic, but I would try to get real orchestra playing instead of change those with other instruments(dreaming of...).
