"Here's what I think."

date: August 9, 2007

Very Positive points:
The windy sound effects and the flute. The windy effect gives the wintry feel (and I personally love winter).

Positive:
The 8-bit part, and how the bass fits the things listed under "Very positive points." The bass and drums gives the feeling of walking in a Siberian forest or in the Himalayan Mountains.

A slight minus: If only it was a bit longer, because when people hear something they like, they want to hear it for a longer time (not too long, but still). People need time to get a hang of the song. For me personally, the short time is not a problem (which is why I still rate this a 10/10), but others will be a bit disappointed.

All in all, very original and very well done.

If you know anything that I didn't take into account when I wrote this, please do tell me, I'll be glad to hear.

"LOL"

Awesome song, I loved the 8-bit feeling at the beginning and during the song, pretty neat stuff.

The flute was pretty cool, too. And the drums made it sound epic as fuck, great job.

This was very calming to listen to, you've earned my download. ;D

"Chill as yeah!"

This might be one of the most chill songs I´ve ever heard.
And with an 8-bit blend into the song, it sounds much cooler.

When you put in the breathing sounds, I think it must have been one of the most chill experiences I´ve ever heard here at the audio portal.

Yeah, you can guess what I think, an agree with you with, it´s CHILL as HELL. (Damn irony)

I loved the pan flute, but the melody it played sounds rather bland, which is not good as it is the main instrument at the moment it´s played.
Flutes are fucking awesome if they are played right, which they obviously are, though they could have been played better.

The 8-bit synthie, which I think was very nice, was put in again, which obviously makes a good impression, seeing that it was a very nice addition to the song.

The drums were great, the made the track sound more epic and dephty. they played a nice melody which was not too slow nor to fast, just playing in the right tempo.
Great job.

The melodies fit VERY well together. And I think that is about as much I can say about the mixing of melodies; a very small part of the song.

Nice pads and basses, which may sound about as alike as they could.

So... this is one of the few songs I download. Because it really is good while it lasts- lasts... well, a bit over one and a half minute isn´t THAT much, it ends before I really get a grip of the song, which I get when it starts over, though, but then it is theoretically too late. Not actually, as these songs loops, but if I were to listen to this once as I pretty much must when it is downloaded, it isn´t that enjoyable, really. Since it´s damn catchy too, I actually take the effort clicking it back to start over, which I don´t really do often. But now I might lose iTunes in the mass of opened windows after losing the control stick >:-(

So you could have added more to it!
Not in the way of instruments, synths and such, I man more in the lenght. Different melodies, instruments and such are always a good addition AFTER the song, which I really think you know.

So... the song´s construction is interesting.
Starting with the 8-bitter playng an empty, still filled at the same time, melody -more like a note combination than a melody, though- then it gets kinda fast, but in a fancy way, into the phase with a *full* feeling of the song, and then a slower, more empty part with the panflute as the absolute main instrument. It´s kinda cool, but it just ends too fast.

Scores!

Originality is a 9; The mix is interesting! Video Game and Chill Ambience at the same time is really nearly as far away from each other as it possibly can be! And when you mixed it it sounded really cool! However, both genres are very common, so you can´t get it full.

Clarity is a 10, I can´t see any wrong with the clearity, there´s no clipping or anything like that, and I can agree this was more Ambient than anything else. (Chill, though)

Diversity is a 7. Seriously, there was much diversity in the song compared to the lenght, which I must have said a lot of times now, was amazingly short. Minus for short lenght, plus for much diversity in small song.

Effort is a 10. How comes that you make these songs blindingly fast, but they don´t seem rushed, any of them, and they sound good and some are awesome as hell, too? Great work for the amount of time used!

Overall, I will give you a 9. This song was really good, but way too short (I´ll shut up aboout that now).
good work, have some cookies : D

Ho ho ho

Author's Response:

It makes me glad to see that I'm not the only one on this planet that actually tries to write reviews. Remember though, just cause you liked the song, doesn't mean you CAN'T treat it like shit. Other than length, you really didn't say anything that I could ahve worked on that would have changed the wind of the song, thus taking the purpose away from your review.

I can't really comment on everything you've said, since I'd just be saying the same thing over and over again :D So, while I sit here and sip my hot chocolate from A&W, all I can say is:

Keep writing reviews, friend. You are much more kind than I in writing reviews, and yours are just as long :) Go out there and make lots of audio artists happy with your presence :D

Check ya later buddy, keep it easy.
