Reviews for "Kazmo - Still Alive RMX [WIP]"

Wah!

Hoo crap i didn't know you had 2 songs best of week. This song i liked because it was soothing and cool. Almost sounds like mirror's edge music. BUT! the reason i gave it an 8 is because i've heard things like this with much more bass and....well...noise i guess. I feel as though this piece can be alot tougher and more energetic. The climax was good be not great. It didn't give me that little 15 sec inner boost that i get from other songs. You are going in the right direction though. Add more juice and you'll be perfect.

Kazmo responds:

To be honest, I could care less what you've listened to, this is my style, and my remix, other remixes will take a different twist on the original.

Deducting 2 points for it not sounding like something 'you've heard' is somewhat sad.

Anyways, I still take your criticism, and will look into it.

I'll just give it a BJ....(Booster Juice) lol

Thanks for the review.

Great!

The only reason why I'm giving this a 8 is because I really didn't like the start of the and some of the end of this music. Though the rest was pretty good. You should make more.

A Work in Progress

So when I listen to remixes I hope they improve some form of the song. While you did some justice there is nothing stands out.

I'll start off with your synthes. You have an Arp in a cutoff filter doing the same thing for 2 minutes. It's really kind of bland and if you listen to the original song there is much more energy being brought forth in the build with the lyrics and drums. I know Trance is about big build ups but yours just didn't live up to it. Of course there is the remixes done by popular artists already for the OST so you have a large gap to cover to go above and beyond the original.

Your drums samples sound like Vengeance samples. The reverb kick you use I'm sure of that. Really there aren't many elements to this song. You use about 3 or 4 synthes it's seems but that's fine.

As good of a singer Lira is she didn't hit/live up to the originals vocals. The vocals at some points were to quiet and just struck little emotion. The vocals are close but they don't have the right amount of emotion.

Just because you have vocals doesn't mean you have to be simple with your song. Honestly nothing shines in this piece. The pianos nice but just mimics the original usually. The synthes doing it's arp thing which is stereotypical of trance and all around kind of annoying sometimes. If you removed the vocals from this song it wouldn't stand on its own as a great trance song.

I suggest rethinking some of the points in this song. (Sorry I'm taking music theory so I have to critique songs) You have a very bland transition and peak to the song. Try to make it more unique, quality isn't everything.

Sorry if I was a little harsh but you do have 2 songs on the top 5 so don't get cocky.

Voice

Locke366 is right, there are parts where the vocals fade to a point where they can't be heard, and it happens repeatedly, fix that up, otherwise its coming along great keep it up.

nah

idk it just wasnt that good dont like these kind of tecno songs

Kazmo responds:

Then don't listen to them!

PS: It's trance...thanks.
