Another excellent SoS piece. In major.
Truly an excellent Ambionic piece, one of the best ive heard. I have barely any criticisms. And no constructive ones for you. So I shall spare you the destructive ones as well, and just write you a review.
Firstly, id like to confront a previous review, namely the in depth passage below by SolusLunes.
If that review was a joke, or had a reasonable degree of good will toward the author in it, then I appologise to both of you, dont bother reading on. However if it was an attack, as I first percieved, then do.
He claims that the piece is "perfect" for a cinematic work, but would fail in the grounds of a game.
The piece would do just fine in a game. A natural orientated game, or a slower Adventure or fantasy game would be lucky to come accross this.
And then theres the factor that yes, it is in fact a near perfect cinematic piece, why does it need to be anything else. Thats not a valid criticism.
He also claims that you, (Maestro Rage) are "too used" to epic composition.
Firstly, you cannot be "too" musical, in any direction, its all a matter of perception.
Secondly, he then goes on to say that the work is "too epic" and that he would never expect to find that in one of your songs. He wouldnt expect it to be "too epic" at any point, but you are in fact "too used to epic" yourself?
Again we hit a invalid criticism.
Lastly, id would like to be shown any piece on this audio portal which genuinely excells at two things, its hard enough finding a piece that excells at one.
As a piece in general, this excells.
The writing is excellent, one of the few things I would agree with from SolusLunes' review, is that occasionaly the instrumental choices could possibly be different for an improved effect. But this remains, an excellent piece.
If you are still reading, then you must be interested enough to read my last personal note on the piece.
From the very first second my mind was crying out for a mischeivous minor piece, I felt the major feel of the piece did it injustice. However, upon listening to the track over and over as I wrote this review, I have come to the conclusion that a minor piece would not have been better, just different.
I strongly suggest that you go on to create a more mischeivous piece in the style.
For this piece you have my highest distinction and salutations.
You have earned a spot on my favourates list. If there was a rating higher than 5R, you may well have got it. But theres not.
5R
