To me, this piece has an immersive "story" feel to it. It also has that signature "Blackhole12" style to it. I really enjoy listening to it.
Reviews for "Forgotten"
Sounds beautiful, even if you wanted it to be better. The piano in combination with the pads, the strings, the other instruments and the reverb give a nice effect. Very well composed and played.
This is pretty good. I really enjoy your work. As for crappily coded software, I am not a fan. Hopefully I can avoide that perticular pitfall after taking some programming classes in collage. It's ridicuous that you need an xGhz processor and 4+GB of RAM just do do audio development. The same goes for a good computer that can play 3D games without issues but crumples under the load of a couple hundread if then else statments in a spreadsheet (this was on Wiindows, obveously. My Linux box doesn't seem to mind that very same spreadsheet at all).
My point is: I feel your pain. Maybe someday we can build better tools that do their job properly without setting your CPU on fire, crashing al the time, or running out of memory for no apparent reason. Until then I will continue to be impressed with your work despite it not living up to your vision of how it was supposed to be.

I hope to, at some point in the future, write my own sampler that isn't retarded using an efficient sFFT C++ implementation
I enjoyed this song :)
The progression is good :D
I don't know how you wanted it, but she is good now ^^
NGADM Round 2 Reviewz0rz
What I liked:
- Smooth, flowed throughout nicely.
- Chill, relaxing.
- Everything seemed to compliment the other instruments well.
- Never got repetitive.
-Nice melodies.
What I didn't:
- This track really, really, really needs percussion. If their omission was intended or not, I really think it could use some percussion regardless. There were quite a few points in the song where I could just hear a bass drum or bells wind up into another section... but it was only in my head.
- While it never got repetitive, I did think a few of the transitions could have used some work, a couple of them felt a little abrupt.
Overall:
Nice relaxing song, interesting and unique melodies... However, it really, really needs percussion, this was my biggest gripe about this song. I see no reason for percussion to not be included here.
8/10

I deliberately did a song without percussion, but I would have been more willing to experiment with some light percussive elements in the background IF MY CPU WASN'T DYING
