Reviews for "Derrick & JapeApe -- Lost"

hmmmm

I think the melody could be more memorable though. Its okay, but it doesnt really "drive you". its like background music, but with a strong kick.

It needs better bass. Without that, it is background music for a game or something, and needs less strong of a kick.

Clean and simple.

Nice Beat.
I like it.
Give it a more bit of that Bass though.

LOL just turn up your subwoofer...

thanks for the review either way!

Good and long

I admire how you manage to make a long song and still keep it good the entire way through. I guess the weakest part was that it was a bit too long, but there is still enough variety to love it. There is so much going on, it is hard to pinpoint a main theme. There is definitley a lot of tension building up and I like the use of negative sound in some places. You hear about how that can be useful in things like paintings (with negative space) but it works for songs too. It is a great original submission with some elements of mystery and wonder.

Yodamanjaro responds:

1. That's what she said.

2. If you listen to any ACTUAL trance outside of the fake music shell known as Newgrounds, you will find actual "original mix"-es and they are the so-called "long versions." lololol

Aside from those two points, thanks for the review! If you ever get the chance, please listen to ACTUAL trance. If you don't know where to start, and don't know where to look, PM either Jape or myself.

Nice
I also break down songs to review, so you're in luck.

Melody: 1/2- It's not bad. I think that you did well making a mesmerizing lead here. I felt myself drifting off into thought and dazing out a couple times.

Drums: 2/2- I really liked it at the beginning, it got a little repetitive at times though. However, I liked the beat that was being repeated, so it's alright with me.

Bass: 1/2- Techno requires bass, and while you have it, I dont think you used it properly. I think you could have even used a synth pad and made it low octave to use on this song. It has such a mystic quality to it.

Instruments: 2/2- Cant beat what instruments you have here in this song. Everything is mixed right, gives it that mystical quality. The bass instrument should have been changed.

Mood: 2/2- As I said multiple times, it really has a deep and mystical quality to it, its incredibly easy to listen to and doze off to.

OVERALL 8/10- I really like this- good work!

Yodamanjaro responds:

This is trance, not techno. lol but thanks for the review anyways!
