Reviews for "Xtrullor - Samsara"
For the uninitiated, Saṃsāra is Sanskrit (संसार) for "wandering" or "world", in the connotation of the theory of rebirth (present in all Indian and Hindu religion), where things that live simply wander or drift through it's mundane existence.
This track is totally scrumpadoocious. It has an almost cosmic-like feel during the softer parts of the song, and the drop is not very harsh, but it works. This song reminds me of Event Horizon in particular, especially the first introductory bit. My one complaint is the lack of distinct percussion in the song, because I feel like some parts of the drop (especially the second) are dismembered, in the sense that there isn't a 'beat' to it (You see, I am not a music type in any way, shape or form, so my reviews have to be in English, not Critic language). Despite that, I think this is a fantastic piece, and by far the best of your recent tracks. It's like comparing Starry Night to the Mona Lisa (Credits to Vincent van Gogh) if you know what I mean. Major props, keep at it.
Woooow
I really love that!!
Even when not one of your best work, i cant deny that it is a fine work.
Maybe its my taste which stops me from enjoying those pieces which are publicly acclaimed (Nirmiti as a best example)
Yet, as a standalone track, your work here is great. I`d say that the melodies and feelings you try to express are nothing too unique (not by your standards). Again, maybe its my fault that i find your melodies somewhat generic. at least from orchestration standpoint. Im probably just used to your stuff by now :P
So the melodic parts are how they are: good, but not groundbreaking. The true magic comes from the drops. Tough im not a fan of the general method you used for this one i do adore how some bass combinations turned out. Some can give me chills (most notably the one in 2:25 and 4:28) It is a simple, yet delightful to listen to.
Overall, its another strong piece, but nothing what would make an impact in my opinion. Ill be waiting for that moment in your evolution more than urgently ;)
Still a fiver cause i cant really think of any flaws which could put it lower.
