Reviews for _-={Midnight Oil}=-_

Calm

First off I want to apologize for a potentially bad review, since I'm sitting up late, burning the midnight oil :P
But this is a loop that really forces my fingers to write down a couple of words. But what can I say?
The beauty of simplicity can really be enchanting. I feel like as I finish writing this, I'll head off to bed, carrying this tune in my mind. I know it will inspire peaceful and relaxing dreams.
If it will have the same effect on me when I'll play Dark Cut 3, it will greatly add to the difficulty of the game :)
Keep up the good work.

MaestroRage responds:

thanks BloodyN00b! I hope that the melody can soothe you into the night rather then rob you of it XD. Sometimes I get a melody stuck in my head and just can't fall asleep for hours because of it.

I think you will enjoy Dark Cut 3, I certainly hope you do :D! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Well done. :)

I've heard a lot of songs, but I do believe this one takes my heart on a journey. When I listen to this song, it reminds of me of my short story that I'm currently writing, "The Sorrow" It's one paragraph were the man, Rizo, sits by his wife's bed, watching her slowly die from a poison that was injected. The words he says are, "My love for you will always stay... I won't be able to live much longer without you, and I won't find any other lover on this world... I will follow you shortly, and we will be together again, my love..." Well done. :)

cool but...

the adrenaline isn't always set to overdrive?

MaestroRage responds:

no indeed. Sometimes one winds down and deals with the darkness on peaceful terms.

Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Alright.

I can understand the mellow feel, but the melody reverberates a bit heavily to me and gives takes away from the. And I thought of the M*A*S*H theme song at 0.37 haha. I would have (when I say I would have I mean if I had your ability) slowed it a bit more in certain stages, and given the drums the chance to fade out alone, to give a sense of a patient's heart beating out. As a matter of fact your Surgeon songs are ambiguous in the sense we never know if the patient makes it. I would say (you prolly are already) make one where he loses his patient, that could go on for so long too, an epic!

MaestroRage responds:

right you are Assassin. The songs are ambiguous indeed. A drenched dark tones with a lot of malice but no definite answer. Though I would have loved to make a death song for each level, that would have doubled the song size, and the game was already breaching upon gigantic. We have to draw the line somewhere eh? I mean I also wanted to make each song like 30 minutes long :D!

I kept the percussion constant to allow smooth looping.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

Nice job on the looping

The song itself is quite tranquil, but what I find interesting is how well the song loops, its as though it never ends.

Nice job
