Reviews for "-A New World-"
Step responds:
Cyber space? I'll add it to my "things this song reminds people of" list, along with guys with afro's in the 70's xD.
Thanks for the review!
Amazing Work
Besides the 70's afro-rocking vibe, haha, this song really brings out a great amount of talent and skill that you have to create such a atmosphere. The subtle flute sounds here and there and the horns really bring out the dynamic end of the song, the string and piano add a nice orchestral touch, and the drums have a old school groove to them that just bring the song all together.
Real great work and I can't wait to hear the next song you come up with (after college work of course).
Step responds:
Thanks! I got 9 new reviews in less than a day after sending a PM to you and some of the other guys who added me to their favourite artists list. That is awesome, I'm really grateful!
"Besides the 70's afro-rocking vibe, haha"
Don't forget the "walking in slow motion" part :P.
"this song really brings out a great amount of talent and skill that you have to create such a atmosphere."
Thank you! Atmosphere's one of your strong points too, I loved the atmosphere and progression of Astral Hypnosis.
"The subtle flute sounds here and there and the horns really bring out the dynamic end of the song, the string and piano add a nice orchestral touch, and the drums have a old school groove to them that just bring the song all together."
Awesome, glad they all work out!
"Real great work and I can't wait to hear the next song you come up with (after college work of course)."
College work won't be so lenient in that case, but perhaps this song marks the end of the all-summer-long writer's block I had. Kinda sad that I only got inspiration back AFTER summer ended, but what can you do? :P
I really appreciate the feedback, thanks!
Mmmm ...
That song ... sounds to me an adventure game
Step responds:
Cool! Adventurous was one thing I wanted this song to sound like, so I'm happy you think so.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
great track
amazing work with keyboard man. Great track. One thing about your songs is that your drums for some reason do sound like from 70s pop songs.. with afros. I am not saying that there is anything wrong with it. Percussion is very good in this track and there is also that oldschool drum feel
Step responds:
Wow, thanks!
Also, songs can have afros now? That is so cool :D.
I'm glad you like the percussion, thanks a lot!
Awesome song!
I really like this tune, mate. Everything sounded crystal clear, and the melodies are memorable. I particularly like the snare you used. Could you tell me where I can get good snare samples like that one? I would like to use it for my techno project I am working on right now.
My only critique for this song right now is that after the second chorus part, it felt like it dreaded on for a while. I wanted something else to happen, but nothing new came in.
Overall, I thought this was a pretty solid track. You rarely find pop songs like these nowadays. Keep up the good work, bro.
Could you please review me back on my first submission? I would appreciate the feedback. :)

Hey, thanks for the helpful review!
"I really like this tune, mate. Everything sounded crystal clear, and the melodies are memorable."
Good to hear! I'm quite proud of the melodies in this song, I think they're some of my best.
"I particularly like the snare you used. Could you tell me where I can get good snare samples like that one? I would like to use it for my techno project I am working on right now."
Of course. Here - http://www.darkbeats.com/sampleswap/ - is the source of a lot of my drum samples. They're all free, and while they're not exactly professional quality, there are so many drum samples in there that you're bound to find tonnes of hidden gems.
You're not the first to like the snare I used here (someone else said it sounds great when I used it in another song of mine, Town Theme). This one in particular is from the 5000_DRUMHITS.rar library (specifically in this filepath: SAMPLES - 5000 DRUMHITS > ACCOUSTI > AMBIENTS). If you want me to send you the snare sample on its own, just drop me a line!
"My only critique for this song right now is that after the second chorus part, it felt like it dreaded on for a while. I wanted something else to happen, but nothing new came in."
Haha I have a bit of a problem with that. Once I reach like the second chorus of a song or finish a long section of a song, I start feeling the urge to finish the track as quick as I can so I can submit it here :P. I often end up rushing the last sections of a song. Perhaps that's why you thought it got a bit boring towards the end. Although I do like the tribal-like part right after the second chorus, personally.
"Overall, I thought this was a pretty solid track. You rarely find pop songs like these nowadays. Keep up the good work, bro."
Thanks a million, I'll try!
"Could you please review me back on my first submission? I would appreciate the feedback. :)"
I'd love to. I'm really busy right now reviewing for a competition I'm hosting along with loads of Maths homework so I might take a long while to review I'm afraid, but I'll add it to my to-do list :3.
Thanks again!
