Wow you thought this was long? Most people think the opposite, heh. Thanks though.

"Mysterious."

date: July 7, 2008

A very nice track if I do say so myself. A nice eery feeling to it, along with a nice beat, too. This track would be perfect for like an alien planet or something like that. Nice looping structure, too. Great job man!

Suggestions: some more instruments would be greatly appreciated. This track needs some more melodies. But it IS ambient, so I dunno.

I thought about putting a little more layering into it and make it longer, but I was out of ideas so I just left it as it was rather than risk ruining it. I don't know if it's worth revisiting. Thanks for the review.

"Perfect for a time-challenge abstract puzzle game."

by: Bezman
date: July 6, 2008

Does indeed loop pretty well.

The melody that rides through the whole thing makes me think of a puzzle game where you're trying to work out the puzzle in the fastest time you can. There wouldn't be a time limit. The graphics would only be basic shapes - lines and perhaps squares and circles, as well as corner curves and equilateral triangles. There'd be an awful lot of black. Maybe cogs?

The long drawn out notes work well and I like the quickly played melody that starts at 0:19.

I don't have much to criticise. The beats and melody seem oppressive and it could get too much for some folk after 10 minutes or so. But without it there wouldn't be that same tension.

Maybe lowering the volume of them by a tad?

My other criticism is that the start and end feel a bit vacant - specially in comparison to the middle.

I like the imagery you saw in it, nice :) I had a game in mind when I made this, that's why I made it loop. Yeah you're right about the beat, and looking back I don't really like the bass in this one. Needs moar pads.

"Great song"

date: July 6, 2008

This is a cool tune, makes me think of difficulty. Like a tough problem that you need to solve. Its got that sorta mechanical thinking feel to it. Also its a kinda cautious track. I think it would work very well in a game.

Its got some good sounds to it, its a bit repetative but its not too long so thats good. Also the loop is very good too!!

Nice work!! <3

"Good for puzzles"

by: Coop83
date: July 5, 2008

This would work nicely with a puzzle game. It sounds complex, like the workings of a mind trying to sort a jigsaw puzzle out.

I like the repeating quickfire melody that you've produced here. It works really well with the bass beat that you've laid down. The only thing that I'd suggest is making it a little longer to add slightly more variation in. Without this, the loop works - I can't tell when it finishes to be honest, but With more variation, it's going to appeal to the wider audience of flash makers.

"Pretty Simple"

date: July 5, 2008

It has a pretty simple sound to it in a way, not that it's a bad thing it just doesn't really sound to have too much to it to me, but it does seem to work pretty well with a good thing. Kind of space like in a way even, it's also slow which I think adds to the flow of the whole thing, kind of bringing it together and everything.

It's not very long although it does make up for that with the loop, it does loop well I have to say, so that's a good thing. Without looking at the bar, I can't really tell what part is the start and which part is the end, lol, so good work on that part and overall.

4/5

"Great"

by: Shanus
date: July 4, 2008

Really cool song, excellent Hollywood type sound. Like an intro to a movie or something. The beat was bad ass, great chunky sound to it. And the loop worked perfectly, a great well round sound, great job.

I really like this one. The drum beat is very cool and all those other melodies that are going on there sound awesome, too.

Don't know if this can be classified as "Ambient", but I can't think of a better genre myself, so I guess it fits in this category just fine.

Even though the song is a bit short it doesn't get boring and it loops perfectly fine, so I just listened to this for 5 minutes straight without even noticing it's just 1:17 long. ^^

Author's Response:

Thanks for the review, I'm personally kind of unhappy with how it loops, it chops off like a 16th note at the end so the downbeat at the beginning comes a little early... but only I would notice that :P

Could just be my browser and/or internet connection...

"Pretty Good"

date: July 2, 2008

I liked this, it had a really hiphop oriented beat on the percussion side, yet I didn't really get that same feeling from the rest of the song. Overall it was quite serene and mellow and had a slight light techno/ambient feel to it.
Though the song was short, that wasn't at all a problem. I thought there was a slight lack "parts", for lack of a better word. I think adding a couple more, different verses to this would make it more complete. Even something like an interlude or a bridge would do this song good.
Overall, I liked this tune, certainly has potential. I enjoyed listening, good work. :)

Thanks for the review. It probably could use more variation, but only if I made it into a full song. This was kinda quickly done out of a lack of inspiration :P

"Nice is good"

date: June 30, 2008

Good tune it sgot a nice gentle feel to it it flows nicely together.

Not a very long song but its a good loop the sounds are loopy. This is sweet and relaxing i think, its got some good beats over the soft sound. The sound is brief but good its does loop. The sound is much the same but it works ,as it short and its a clever track. The beat is fairy claim not much in the way of fast, beats buts it nice when it does get faster.

Overall a nice track no real faults here.
