2017 EDIT: Album's out. Woo. Here it is. (http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/721301)
also serves me right for rating 5 stars on my own track lol
ORIGINAL EDIT: Alright, seriously guys?! I voted 5 stars to start the votes off, and within MINUTES it depletes to 1 star. This is the same thing that happened with my preview of the song I posted earlier! Seriously guys, if you're gonna vote 0, at least tell me why please! Just voting negative and not telling me what's wrong with it isn't gonna help anything.

Woo! Just in time before Christmas Eve! This is my new track, Dreamscape! I've been working on it for a while now and I think it sounds really good, and it might even be my best song yet.
I also got it mastered by Robert VanZandt (you can find his YT channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheCrossChild), so it sounds even better! At least, it sounds really good through a pair of studio speakers (I haven't listened to the song through my headphones, so PLEASE let me know if there's something odd with the master).
Me and Robert are collaborating on an album that's actually gonna be called "Dreamscape", and this is gonna be the first song in it, so consider it a taste of what's to come!
Alright, well, let me know what you think! See you all later!

I might still have the project files somewhere. If I do I'll try it.Thanks! :D
The ambiance in the beginning is real, and it gets so much better with headphones.
The transition at :42 is sudden, but smotoh. It caught me off-guard a bit.
I like the synth at :56, it oddly fits in well.
The sudden change from ambience to energy at 1:12 was not expected, but it was done really well.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a headphones thing or intentional, but the whole 1:12 part sounds a bit static-y.
Again, nice transition at 1:53. It's sudden, yet pulled off really well.
The piano part at 2:08 really doesn't fit and is a bit shallow because no bassline. There's also a few notes in there that seem a bit off-key.
The 2:20 transition doesn't really work. The synth and piano parts, while they sound similar, really end up only clashing against each other.
I really like the part at 2:34. The instrument really fits and sound great.
I swear I've heard the part at 2:47 before, but I don't know where. It still sounds good, though.
The part at 3:13 really sounds off. The instrument just doesn't fit. The piano helps a bit, but the instrument just sticks out in a bad way.
I swear I started hearing some sort of flute in the background at around 3:32.
4:09 has another sudden transition, but it flows in a way. I have no idea how you do that.
Also in 4:09, the drumbeat for some reason seems a bit off-tempo.
The part at 4:36 would have made a really cool ending, and it tricked me into thinking it was. And frankly, it should have been the ending. The ending piano riff was both out of place and unsatisfying. So close...
3.75/5, Rounding up to 4
Evilgrapez responds:
Thanks for the review! The part at 4:36 was originally the ending, but I thought it'd be cool to have a little piano riff at the end. I guess it didn't pay off, but oh well. As for the flute thing, I don't actually know what you're talking about. One of the VST instruments in the song is called "Magic Flute" if that helps. :P And as for the staticy stuff at 1:12, I don't really know what that's about, lol.
Thanks again!
Start is very "dreamy" I will put it. I like how it progresses throughout the track! Very nice! :D
Evilgrapez responds:
Thanks! That's what I was going for. :D
Really nice song, except that I think it'll need some more melodies. It's the same melody throughout the song. But I like it anyway, good job! One of your best songs. :D
Evilgrapez responds:
Yeah, I'm not that good at alternate melodies. I did try a little different thing when the piano came in, but it wasn't very noticeable. :P
Well see this is a lot more like ambience especially in the beginning.
Evilgrapez responds:
It does feel like that, doesn't it? I was having some trouble with making a beginning so I did a sort of ambient "dreamy" feel for it. That was where the name "Dreamscape" came in. :3
