Wow, freakin' awesome!
I didn't really like much of the beginning, but I had the urge to keep listening. I like it a lot, brilliant. Keep at it, you're definitely good at music making.
Reviews for "Mass Effect"
After 3+ months... [6]
Your groovy track is finally being used by a submission (the new game submitted just now, today... Elliptic). Congrats on that (it's how I found the song, anyway). Oh, and I just gave it a 5 vote, which should balance out the previous reviewer's 0 (he shoulda come back the next day and hit 5 at that point to balance it himself! #;-}>)... JSYK.
I saw the title was Mass Effect over at that submission just now, so I wanted to see if it had anything to do with the game, and sure enough. I just got a new PC this month, and so I've been playing a lot of the games I missed, such as Halo and Doom 3 and Bioshock, over the past few years... I'll be getting Orange Box for my birthday next week, and finally Mass Effect is the last must-have game on my list, from what I've read about it. But since it just came out on PC like a month ago, it's still top-priced, so I'll have to wait awhile for it to drop a bit.
Still, this song being inspired by the game... serves as yet more mouth-watering anticipation-causing teasing for me in addition to all the reviews I've read. #;-}> Thanks for that.
Very nice atmospheric techno... kinda has a "slowed down drum 'n' bass" feel to it, really. I dig the beat a lot, the bass... the synths overlaid on top after many measures are decent (though the piano parts shine much more, even with everything that makes the song... dropping out to leave just the aural background + piano overlay), but it's really the beat 'n' groove that make this one... leading up to that soft ending. I'd love to hear piano like that WITH accompanying beats, in a way that "works," if that makes any sense.

First, thanks for the review. I must say I'm quite honored that a member of your experience on this here site has reviewed one of my songs so thanks. Thanks for voting to balancing the score and for the kind words. Its a good thing that you're playing games you missed, cause there have been some good ones. From the ones you said, Halo was really good, Doom 3 and its expansion were freakin sweet and kinda scary. Bioshock, though I don't own it, I have played it and it was awesome. The Orange Box was one of the best 5 games in one thing EVER. Mass Effect, was however, incredible. Defiantly worth full price, which I paid (sadly). Hence me making a song inspired by it.
Might I just say wow, thats a good breakdown and evaluation of the song. I myself love piano with accompanying beats and it makes sense to me, though its a little hard to do in Garageband. Thought I suggest listening to my song Emotionally Screwed, it shares most of the piano part but it has a much different beat. Thanks again for the awesome review.

Whoops!
I accidently rated this a zero with my vote. Its definetly a 10/10 and 5/5. Really see the influence for Mass Effect even though I never finished that game. Great Job!
hell ya
good shit
Awesome
Thanks for your review on my song! This song is great, I especially liked the part when the piano comes in. I played Mass Effect for a little bit, and can definately hear the influence. Sorry about that guy Carbnon, I had some guy give me a 0 recently just to be a prick and I know how irritating those 10 year olds can be.

Thanks for the return review. I do love good piano parts. Yeah, people can be douche bags on here but you can't let them get you down. ^_^
