"LOL"

Oh so goofy :)

Really it's admirable that you try to throw away all the basic conveniences that determine music nowadays, hahaha...

Seriously though, it needs to be way more structured. It seems like you just randomly threw some synth lines together and the result would've always been good to you... it is my personal belief that dissonance has to be thought through VERY carefully, otherwise it'll just make people cringe. There just need to be some sort of core to a song that one can identify as music, and then you can build from that.

If you manage to pull that off, you may become a genious, otherwise, no one will really dig your stuff. The line is just that thin so head this warning. I REALLY hope you'll pull it off, though.

I saw PedroMancuse reviewed this as well, check out his stuff - it'll be very valuable learning material for the course you're on!

Good luck!

Oh boy, big review... This is gonna suck XD

Hmm, not sure what you meant by throwing away all the basic conveniences that determine music nowadays, as for structure, well I can see what you mean, and I'm always working on that but still I havn't been doing this for very long.

You say I just throw random synthlines together? Now this is where I'm going to have to disaggree, in fact the reason this sounds "goofy" is because its based soley on the C blues scale, mainly used for jazz in such, all the notes are from that scale giving it this certain sound.

Core of the song, I'll try and improve that as I go (once I figure out what you mean by it).

I'll check out PedroMancuse's stuff sometime.

Thx for the review!

I hate that beat!That's too dissonant,too.You could at least reverb the background,since these sudden stop are getting on my nerves.Seems harsh,i know but that's what i heard.

Author's Response:

Not harsh at all, its your opinion, I have some friends I showed this to, and some said it was cool, others basically said the same thing you did. I'll try and make better beats with more percussion with my newr songs.

Thx for the review.

"Definitely one of it's kind."

I really liked the melody of this track, sounded a little wierd but it was very fun to listen to. I think that you should add more to your drums though... alot more.

This is quite a catchy song and i enjoyed listening to it :)

The song lacks some good elements but it holds it's own. 4/5

Author's Response:

To be honest I dont think I had more than 1 FX in this, which isnt very good, probably should have put some compressors on the kicks, and probably more EQ on the main themes, but I'm still learning so I'll just keep trying.

To be honest with you, this sounds very strange. It sounds like a mix of good music and hic-up sounding music. hah oh well.

Author's Response:

Seems I sort of combined a little of your review in the one below this (Doh!), lol I do like your comparison (hehe, hic-ups are always funny in my book XD)

Thx for reviewing!
