I almost feel as if this is not stranded feeling at all. Almost like getting a tour through a massive castle city! It's probably the bells that make me feel this way, but that doesn't detract from me really liking this a lot. I feel like this belongs in an MMO somewhere. ^_^
Reviews for "Stranded"
stunkel responds:
Thank you! Yeah everyone seems to dislike the name of the song DX I like it though! And Yeah I can hear the castle city theme :P Thanks for reviewing though!
is a really good song I enjoyed it no problems with this at all. Kind of gave me a cult feeling though other then being stranded but good none the less.
stunkel responds:
Thank you!
I really like the song dude!
Love the use of Instruments!
stunkel responds:
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Great song! :)
Good composition, effective basslines, and overall it's a catchy melody. I absolutely loved the flutes and bells, I thought they were a perfect touch. There is one thing that I would like to point out though. The strings at the beginning of the song go on a tad too long, and I know what you were going for, but perhaps some more variation would work well. Some variation on your brass would be a good idea too!
I would have to say my favorite part of the song would be from 2:02 onwards. :)
I think if you threw in some more chords and a nice flute melody that retained a higher octave than your other instruments, you would have something quite special here! Though that's only a suggestion.
Have a good one and keep it up, I'll be looking out for your stuff, and I hope you'll do the same for me! :)

Thanks for reviewing so quickly after :P I love the flutes and bells in this song as well. And to the strings in the beginning, there was a soft piano melody, it's very hard to hear, but if you listen closely, it's there. But I do understand that it could be a little shorter.
Also thanks for the chords/flute melody suggestion, the flute thing never even crossed my mind. Partly because I was going for a totally different feel of the song, and I imagine the flute would be too high at that point DX
Thanks for the review though! And I will follow you as an author, let's review eachothers music and improve off of eachother to make us both better musicians!
5/5 stars for a great review :P
Really nice!
At first, I thought is was going to be a little simple and boring because of the way you introduced the static chord progression, but as it gradually shifted towards other instruments, it grew on me. I really like the drums, they added a lot to the tune. the melody at 2:41 was great, maybe you could bring it in earlier and make it a little louder, because it feels like it should be the main tune.
Overall, I really liked it alot!
stunkel responds:
Thanks! yeah that was the main melody, I never really thought about putting it in more throughout the song. I tried to put in a bit of what I call short term nostalgia. I added that melody with the flute in at the beginning, and it was a catchy melody. And I didn't bring it back until later in the song, it's a familiar sound, and it gives off an awesome vibe. It tends to work well for me :D
I'm glad you enjoyed though! I hope you come by to review some more of my future music!
