I am glad you are able to feel the emotion behind this piece patrick. You are of course, quite welcome. I will continue to submit whatever stems from this head of mine, for all to hear.
Thank you, I am glad you liked it! I apologize for the delayed response :(
Clearly the Best
It is clear you are the best musician I've encountered on the web. I've toiled for many hours piecing together film's musical scores, and your songs will be an amazing addition to that collection, but probably my favorite.
Your music makes me want to sit down and write a screenplay about a world I fear I cannot see, because this is purely your imagination. And yet the expansion of tone and base seems to let me see thoughts hidden, such inspirational music with such simple and complex feeling, and such power and force.
If you do not make money for your musical talent you easily could, and should. Simply put, you are very talented. Keep it up.

MaestroRage responds:
Thank you TigerEyes. Coming from you that is a real compliment.
I used to give my characters names, stories, and personal backgrounds, for each one of my pieces. Sadly after the song finishes, I feel remorse and regret at having to eventually forget them. It sounds silly, but this is true. Now I try to keep detached while I write their stories, though the result is something slightly less powerful.
I didn't start off with the intent to make money, and for however long I can manage it, I will continue to do the same. Thank you for the review, I am glad you liked it. I hope it serves TMO well, along with everything else.
I apologize for the delayed response!
Amazing!
I haven't been on NG for quite a while, and even when I was on regularly, it took something spectacularfor me to write a review. That's the case wth this. All of your work is amazing. Even though I know nothing about Tribal Wars, this, and your other pieces give me pictures in my head, and thinking more gives me amazing detail. People say they would like to remove the birds, I think it adds more depth, and helps me imagine the landscape. Please, keep creating this beautiful music!
MaestroRage responds:
I will do my best Bukkarooo, for however long I can. I personally like the birds myself, so i'm afraid they're not going anywhere :D!
This is one of my favorite pieces too. It took a lot of time to think of these melodies, and give the tribe a fitting end.
Tribal Wars... good times... good times.
In any case, thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! I apologize for the mad delayed response!
great.
would have been better without the birds.I'm writing this mostly so I can bookmark your songs on newgrounds.
MaestroRage responds:
Quite a few people said without the birds it would have been better... I suppose I SHOULD take them out and put it up again, but it's not really worth the reupload.
I'm glad you liked it though, thank you for the review. I hope you enjoy any other song you may listen to here ^^.
Really nice
It really sounds like a final moments/farewell theme. But I think it also could be used for a new beginning type of cutscene.
The melody of the xylophones is simply brilliant, of that ment-to-be-like-this kind. The first appearance of that is the best part. Too bad that the violins kinda suppress it the second time.
Now the technical stuff. The quality of the violins is horrible. It doesn't sound too serious when I listen to it on the portal but it becomes very bad on my mp3 player. I suppose you got the bitrate way too low. I see no good reason for that either, the size is way below the limit. I think if you put it three levels higher it would still fit. Despite that it's still great. Dl+5.
P.s. check out my new stuff plz if ya have time. I recently made a song which actually sounds like decent classical, titled When All Things End. I'd quite like your opinion on it.
MaestroRage responds:
interesting. I thought I had exported this on 128 kbs, which is the average of all the songs. Perhaps I did not equalize them properly?
I'll have to see what that file again, I don't rightly hear a difference via portal or after download, though you are not the first to comment on those strings.
I will check out your song soon I promise :). Thank you for the review Skragga, I am glad you liked it ^^
