HOLY....

Very nice, I'm gonna go check your site for the full version lol, this is very cool, very awe-inspiring, very interesting, it grabs my attention, and yanks it from reality into something totally new, totally different, totally creative, and totally colourful, listening to this cranked way up made my day, and will continue to make my day for a long time. I'm definately pleased by this, couldn't be beaten except by the full version.. Must find it lol.. Oh and I'm a total noob at this and I only have one song, and its bloody impossible to get any attention, so, I would be thrilled and honoured if you would check it out, tell me what I should head for, what type I should persue. Thank you very much.. This is absolutely terrific!

Alright, I'm sending out a bunch of emails right now, expect to see one in your inbox with the attachment.

Also, you can find all sorts of stuff on my website (www.davidorr.net). Check out the forums too (www.davidorr.net/phpbb), you can earn points for posting and buy all sorts of nifty stuff with them (including unreleased pieces and beta versions). A little shameless self-advertising never hurt anyone, right?

Thanks for the review!

pretty damn good

i do agree that the entrance is a little strong but still for a demo this is pretty fantastic. my only real instrumental suggestion would be to put in more of those chimes. and maybe add a slow section with more animal noises or what have you. all in all very fantastic.

Kickin it old skool

Always good to hear.
The beginning pads and chords weer amazing, loved it, not too much to complain about there.

My main complaint is aobut the beginning...When you bring in the main lead.
Its too...harsh!
When it all breaks in, and its all sexy n stuff, its great, and really gets the point across.
But when you first bring it in, id suggest a softer lead, maybe without it being so rough like.

Much more drama would be brought in using this technique.
I like your hat work, sounds very realistic, but id like to hear at the 8 bar break in on the melody a nice, hi ended, reverbed open hat.

Wow, would that ever bring the song together.

This is making me wish i was 14 in the 90s, and not now, so i could enjoy good music lie this back then, eh?

Great work, needs improvment and a bit of dynamics, but hell, this is a preview!

PS: Nice animal sounds. Very realistic. also, 6 for effort cause its a demo >:(

DavidOrr responds:

Wow, awsome suggestions here! I will definately change around the lead, I like the ideas you suggested. In a newer version, I already have a hat going in the 8 bar break, and it definately does sound better. Thanks again for the great ideas!
