The beginning, though I would have liked to hear more of a buildup, was fantastic. The piano bit before the trumpet transition was great. To me, the transition into the trumpets wasn't as good as I would have liked, but it was still well done. And the piano bit at the end was very well done as well.
To me, the whole song lacks the certain "oomph" that the WIP has, which, to be honest, left me a bit disappointed; but it's still a beautiful song.
All in all, this is easily your best piece I have heard, and I look forward to hearing more from you.
Side note: thanks for mentioning me in your comment. I appreciate it. :>

I am aware of the transition into the trumpet part, and i tried to fix it, but i failed to smoothen it out completely. It's good that you liked the piano bits because i worked my ass off to get those parts to sound good o.O

I guess i get what you mean. The WIP was still unperfected and this retained a certain beat to it which i removed in order to make the song more delicate as i thought it should be. Thanks for thinking its still a beautiful song though :D

Already working on another song, i'll keep you posted.

Sure it's no problem, anyone who helps me is welcome.
So anyway, thanks for the really helpful and supportive reviews, i'll be sure to keep you posted on any later submissions, although the music will be taking another break due to a large set of exams coming up. Also, sorry for the delay in replying but i've been real busy this week.
Also you are welcome, I am more than willing to listen and review your work any time. Just send me a private message dude!!
This piece is very soothing and just calms me down actually. Kind of makes me smile and think of days when I actually went and did a lot of things with friends and now I just seem to be that person sitting there to them. Almost feel like a brick in the wall, just there with nothing to do forever.
The trumpets here are incredible and classical feeling. The drums sound very nice and kind of make me think of Final Fantasy X here. The piano sounds beautiful and calming most of all, yes, yes it does. The many other sounds flavor up the song and allow it to tell a story.
That's one hell of a good review, thanks. I'll be sure to contact you if you wish to know about my new releases, and besides you should hear about them anyway through the RRC.
I could see this coming out in a movie with how epic of quality this is.
Some extremely minor attempts to change this song were it my own however, would be to:
1. Alternate the techno sounding synthesizer with a more appropriate instrument to the songs general theme.
2. Add a fermata to the resolution at the end of the piece or manually elongate it somehow.
Just some tips musician to musician, what you have done here my friend - few can accomplish much less surpass, thank you.
OMG you finished it! This is so awesome.
I remember this first time I heard the WIP it was so inspiring to me. I could see an entire world unfolding right before me.
It is funny now that I've started work on my animation I've found my way back to this beautiful song in its completed form.
Erik would you mind if I just this song in a trailer I'm working on? I would give you full credit of course.
