Reviews for "Memories of a Forgotten Land"

WOW! this is really cool! I'd love to use this in an animation at some point, if I could find a good setting for it. Gives off that vibe where its like explorers have found a new world and are amazed by all of the life and wonders there. LOVE IT

Wow.

What I liked:
-This is such a beautiful piece. It's organic, and that violin is used so well.
-This is a very romantic, emotion-invoking piece.
-Production quality is super high.
-I love the simplistic approach you take.\
-That ending is beautiful.

What could have been better:
-Some samples could have higher quality (like the horns). They aren't bad by any means, but the live violin juxtaposed against sampled instruments makes them really stand out.
-I would have liked to see more dynamics. While you do incorporate them in places, it's dynamically a little flat at times.

This is an absolutely amazing piece of music which I didn't expect to find on Newgrounds. I'm very impressed by your production quality and the great composition. Excellent job!

Score: 9.6/10

That violin is just godly. In fact, overall, most of the instruments in this piece are just fantastic. You've got great instrumentation, and you know what to do with it. Melodic content is pretty great, as are harmonies and orchestration.

However, the piece lacks a certain recognizable and memorable theme that sticks in the mind and makes it re-playable. Despite it being quite emotional while your listening to it, it's not a feeling that sticks once it's over, as would be the case with a truly effective piece.

Overall, great piece, and lots of potential. I love what you did, but I still feel like it's missing that one small something that would truly make it fantastic.

Score: 7.8/10

MichaelJ responds:

I suppose it isn't catchy, if that is what you mean. I didn't want it to be repetitive, just expressive.
