Reviews for Eclipse [Apoptygma Tribute]

[MrKrysis]

I'll be honest my man..

Im not into a lot of techno myself.... but this just kicked my ass.

Real intense like. Good stuff.

SkyMarshall responds:

Haha, that's just great :) Glad you like it man =)

Brilliance as always.

Again another masterpiece you've produced, but I'd suggest looking into female vocalists, they always sound better to me in trance/dance :]

SkyMarshall responds:

Thanks man=) I've looked into the female vocalist several times actually. And at one point I found potential ones as well. But alltough they sounded nice, there was no power in the voice at all (if you get me). And I do actually like men in techno to be honest ... like Mark Oh and Apoptygma Berzerk and so forth. Females has become a little overused and boring the last years really. (Groove Coverage and so on).

But thanks for the 9 man=) I love it :)

Great

Like this song. Relaxing in a way

SkyMarshall responds:

Really? Thought it became a little heavy to fit into the relaxing category, but I do appreciate the review man =)

Being perfectly honest.

First off, I love this song. I'm not rating it down in any way. :)

I just wanted to point out that, while the entire song was fucking perfect, the part I was iffed at was the pitch change on those first two lines. Your voice is nice, but when it's sped up it sounds slightly off.

Starting at 1:44, it sounds less like someone is singing and more like somebody is doing an impression of Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. It gets kind of nasally and it doesn't sound pleasant to the ears.

HOWEVER.

The rest of this song is absolutely glorious. Especially the synths on the line 'and it is meant to be~' give me goosebumps.

Is there any chance you could teach me some things about electronica? Mainly the tools used, if you used anything other than programs. :)

Thanks!

SkyMarshall responds:

First of all, I had nothing to do with the "People thinks this is a useless review" :)

And second of all, thanks for a good'n great and awesome review. I like it when people actually has a concrete opinion. And you did. I understand what you are saying about the "nasal"-part. My system had problems handling this song when I completed it - so I kinda mastered it a little sloppy and in a hurry just to get it olut before I lost interest and scrapped the whole thing. So thats why.

And the pitch I thought was kind of cool at the moment, it sounded "right" and different. But I can agree that the first two lines in the beginning of the take-off sounds a little "Teen Hunger Force" or whatever (dont know what they are, and I dont think I even want to find out). So Im getting curious as to how it would sound if I just would leave my voice normal.

Anyway, I love the pitch mixed with all the instruments and synths in the chorus, but as I said - I do agree with you in the quiet part.

But, my excuse is that I rushed this a little bit. There is lots of things I planned to do, that I never got the chance to finish. But my setup and gear is upgraded now, so I might do a edit and "finish" it properly.

And yes - ask away :)
