Wow. You can really tell that you've put in the hours of work it took to perfect this piece. The atmosphere is so industrial yet genuinely beautiful at the same time. Before hearing this, I wasn't sure that was actually possible. It seems I'm learning more and more about the music world every single day.
I really enjoyed the way the music box brought the beginnings of this piece together and the contrast between the orchestral instrumentation and the mechanical half of the composition I felt was extremely well thought out. I feel this is less of a review and more of an awed comment of a finished and perfected piece of work.
It shows true workmanship to take a song and receive feedback from so many other artists to really get the *best* out of a piece. I'd have loved to watch this composition unfold. Really fantastic.
Oh man, thanks for a second review! Love your reviews, it means a lot coming from a person who swiftly became one of my favourite composers and singers on this site.
"Wow. You can really tell that you've put in the hours of work it took to perfect this piece."
It's what I try and aim for in every track of mine. I am very, very bad at speed-writing and have to put a tonne of detail and time into every piece of mine. I don't know about other musicians but I can't compose something unless I'm entirely satisfied with how it's coming along haha.

Got to credit steampianist's track - it gave me the inspiration for this track, and probably nails this atmosphere much more than I do.

Thanks! Glad that worked.

Aw shucks x_x. Thanks!

I believe getting feedback from lots of other people during the work-in-progress stage is a veeerrrry important thing to do. Opinions from other people really help clear up the perceptive "fog" of bias that a musician has while listening to his/her track, and other people can point out things that the musician himself/herself wouldn't have noticed, along with, of course, give cool ideas that can really shape the direction of the track.
Anyway, enough rambling. This review made my day (more like my week). I can't thank you enough!
I love the mood and instruments - all those effects with the machinery and metal tools add a lot to the piece. The amount of variation is incredible! I love the structure and transitions. It makes me think of tired-looking, rusty robots working in a busy factory. Amazing work! :D Engaging melodies, cool instruments, well-defined mood, dynamic contrast - you did it all! You just earned yourself a fan, Step! :D Outstanding job! ;D
Yesss, that's what I love to hear! Thanks a lot; I'm particularly happy that you like the variation and the dynamic contrast, two things I'm very careful of in my tracks!
Also thanks for favouriting me :3. I'm very glad you enjoyed this.
Dunno why your score is so fucking low because this quality work. I love all the harmonies throughout, I see what you mean by countering each other haha. Dunno why but it sounds really sinister hahaha. Nice work dude!
Sweet, thanks man! At 4.43/5.00, the score isn't THAT low haha. This track was doing really well earlier, with something like a 4.80/5.00, but 0-bombers will be 0-bombers in the end.
