*dances*

This is nifty. I can dance to this. I now want a game with this in it. Hehe.

Box-Killa responds:

:D Thanks, nice name btw. Izzymoon, it has a ring to it.

This would be perfect for...

A side-scroller game with a machine or factory level. That's what I see when I listen to this. I like the ambience of the precussion. Good job.

Box-Killa responds:

:D thanks man maybe you should make that game!

Cool.

Great job, sounds pretty good. I could differently see (or hear lol) this being in a game somewhere.

Box-Killa responds:

Coolies XD Glad you liked it! Thanks for the reivew

Wow, this is so VG-ish...

...Don't worry, that's a good thing. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Still, like Darklight, I feel like being evil and giving you a 9 as well because of a few problems X).

The melodies were superb, and were really varied, just like Haggard said. I liked the background accompaniment with the piano-ish melody, since it sounded really video-gamish and cool. I'd work on its variety though, if I were you. The instrument choice was really nice. I liked the high bells over here, and the main instrument was cool, but after some time got quite annoying. You should add a few more instruments, like some square-based synths and some plucked instruments. One of the best parts of this song were the laser and alien-ish sound effects, IMO. They sounded excellent.

The transitions were really good and the melodies flowed excellently together. The transition from the main synth to the bells melody was quite cool, and the effect buildup at the beginning was pretty nice. Really cool song structure, and great variety as well. I liked the part where the piano was playing only at 1:46, it sounded fantastic while not disrupting the fast-paced feel of the song. Still, the intro wasn't that impressive, and neither was the ending. I think this song would be much better off if you looped it. Firstly, I think you should take away the first 15 seconds of the song so the action-packed parts start straight away, and then remove the sound effect you had at the end. It should make it loop much better, and more flash artists would become interested in having it in their submissions.

The drums really weren't that special, and although they were just the right loudness, I was expecting a more action-packed drum beat with more than just a kick and snare. I'd say some tambourines, shakers hi-hats. and more types of snares and kicks wold do a good job on this. Maybe you could try some reverse cymbals and reverse kicks over here too. Still, the drums you have now are really varied, and transit from one melody to another.

It's a really cool sounding song, with just a few flaws. It'd do great in a flash submission if you remove the effect at the end and the first 15 seconds of the song and make it a loop, or you could always submit another version of this song except looped. Anyway, whatever; good job, keep up the great work!
9/10
5/5 - Man, this has some awful 0-bombing onto it. I don't think you should mass PM people to review your submissions, it'd attract more 0's. :\

Meh i dun care about 0 boming, look at all the reviews I got, and 450 views so far, A front page would be nice, but I dont mind... :D

WipeOut!

This tune just seems to fit the profile of the zero-g racing game, WipeOut so well, that I'm seriously considering digging out my copy of it to have a quick blast :P

Great pace and a lovely beat that carries the tune on through a series of phases, with some nice sounding instruments to boot. Nothing seems overly dominant and ever instrument that you've thrown in there seems to have had a great chance to shine, which is important.

I'd just suggest that when you put that solo in there that with the keyboards coming along and playing a fast piece of looped music, you give it something a little more 'up there' and give the instrument a real chance to come through as the alternative driving force, as a piano can be :)
