Hey man that synth and melody that comes in at 1:14 sounds great. I like the drum samples too actually.

Psy-nigma responds:
Thanks, I am actually turning this project into a collab if you want in on the action. Sticking to the roots you hear in this version I have already added and remastered this part of the song. The goal is to have the next verses to the song all be friends work, and I will connect and transition them to make a longer song.
I really like this.
It totally reminds me of the first Ninja Gaiden Game.
Great job!
Psy-nigma responds:
Thanx for the review!
I never played Ninja Gaiden but now I will have to try it out.
I will let you know when the full version of this track is released which might be in a month or so.
Enjoy!
Hmm....
It is a good song but it feels as though something is missing near the end.
I really love the first minuet of this song. Keep up the great work! 5/5 8/10

There is a funny story to this song ...
I was just putting this up as a demo for my friend to listen to it, and an hour later when i was ready to take it down it was used in a flash game. So now I have an incomplete and non-updateable song.
I have been working on this piece though and everything that you think is missing is currently being filled in. I am studying how to compose orchestra music right now. A bunch of sounds have been edited and I have done a completly new and interesting verse.
Thanks for the Review! and i will let you know when the final version is up.
Some great elements in here, doesn't always add up
First, some notes:
Pretty big bass sound there, digging echo/reverb. Not sure how well the sound works in an ambient song, though. Looking at it without considering genre, I'd say it was interesting- maybe fell a bit on the cheesy side with repeated listens.
Percussion is pretty trippy; interesting, neat stuff...I'm liking it. Composition, sound, I think you really nailed it.
Digging the background stuff, more often than not. Some cool sounds, not always sure if they fit. Enjoyed the throwaway string sounds more than the warm/soft pads, I think. I'm hearing some things the second/third/whatever time through I didn't hear the first time through, which is always good.
Crazy lead from about 1:20 on. Not especially liking it, melody wise or sound wise. Seems out of place.
Overall:
I like the structure, you certainly keep it varied and interesting. I'm never bored by the song, even with repeated listens. That's definitely a good thing. The song evolves, sounds bounce off each other, react. It feels organic, which is a tough thing to accomplish using sounds like these, I think.
With the soundscape, you are creating a lot of space. Feels pretty expansive, pretty mellow. Unfortunately this contributes to that one lead synth's and the bass sound's cheesiness, but that's opinion, of course. Also kinda makes it feel reserved, held back...not a strong sense of emotion. Again, opinion, some would probably disagree with me there.
Suggestions? Retool that bass sound, lead sound, really play around with those pads to make it all fit a little better. Maybe think about adding some stuff to compliment the great percussion, run with it...but that might lead it to not really be an ambient song, so keep that in mind. I think you've certainly got room for improvement, but it's still good as is. Sounds like work and thought went into it, so you deserve credit for what you have here.
Keep it up, drop me a PM if you work on this some more, update it, whatever...I'd be happy to take another listen if you do.

Hey Thanks for the awesome review!
good news ... The bass has already been fixed. when i was first writing this song i was using a different key signature. thats why it sounds off and the fact that it stands out from all the other sounds like a sore thumb.
the plan here is that this song will be actually played with my real bass guitar and recorded into the mix. and i have figured out how to make it sound even better on my guitar.
The other plan is that i am also having my roomate play the main melody. of the guitar part. he has been practicing hard to learn to play the notes fluently.
so the two biggest issues with the song are already on the surface for next revision.
The genre like you said... I dont go by it, NG doesn't have a good selection and most of my music is downtempo IDM.
I will pm you with future revisions. its going to become much cooler and everything nailed to sound great!
Thanks Again!
Not Bad
Its a little weird but its cool i think...... Keep workin on it.
Psy-nigma responds:
I will be!
Thanks for listening,
The track will be one of my long term projects.
i will keep you posted!
