[[MS] - Blue Oiled Potatoes]

This is a salad of pure awesomeness

as always I'm very intrigued by the complexity of IDM music. I have no choice to give IDM music scores 9 or higher because they are quite diverse, and SO good sounding, in a real, unusual way. this track certainly is no exception. I DL'ed a little IDM plugin the other day, I guess I kinda figured out how to use it...but still can't make anything good sounding with it.

nice interesting blending of sounds on the first half of the track..the drums and bass sound really finesse..I like the hip hopish sounding lead synth...and then I heard some middle easternish sounding melodies kinda hidden in the track..they were pretty cool. I like the ambient feel around 2:00, it sounds like I'm in an eletronic forest or something. anyway, I don't know what else to say about the track, but its really cool and unique. I could see this being used in a futuristic game. nice mixing, everything sounded authentic and created no problems on my speakers. and it was more than just mixed well, it was mixed creatively. again, good job. I think I just warped to the year 2377.

THATS MAI SALAD

[What dreams may come]

Has a pretty slick mystical feel to it

this sounds like a mixture between final fantasy and old school shinobi mix. I love it. very free flowing, nice melodies. the progression is sweet and sexy...love the sleepy bass melody. it definetly has a dreamy feel to it. the choir ahhs make the track sound like I'm ascending to heaven. I like when the track becomes a bit dark and serious with the little octave guitar riff that sounds like an alarm...but when there was a short pause, there was these nice drifting well-panned bell melodies, but it kinda felt off key and maybe a bit off time.

the instruments are old fashioned sounding, it reminds of me mid-late 90s VG music...some of the best. what program do you use?

lovely track. continue composing mate.

Cosmos8942 responds:

Thanks for that...T.T your my first real reviewer...oh! I am so happy...sad...something =.=. But yeah, I hear you on the off-time issue. That was something that I noticed only after I posted it =.=.

[Orbital Shipyard]

this, has a really nice, atmospheric ambient feel

I was about to go to bed, but I saw this track and had to review it :)

the intro is pretty simplistic, but works itself into a good mix, slowly, and very smoothly. it has a relaxing feel to yet, while sustaining a serious demeanor. the rhythm stayed pretty much the same the entire track, but it never got old. I love the space sounding synths. love the FX you use here, nice panning. the basic percussion really complements the track nicely, not taking away the tracks atmospheric, slow feel. nice bass kicks and shaker beat. I'm not too sure if I liked the middle section of the song, it was a bit too happy for my tastes in comparison with the rest of the song. but after it's all done, it fits the track really well. in fact, after I listened to this track twice, everything flows perfectly. I could imagine playing some weird space adventure game, where I'm searching for a treasure in darkness, with this as the BGM.

nice job at keeping the song simple, but at the same time mixing everything up and not making the track sound tedious. you get my five man.

CyrusOfNaias responds:

Yet another friendly review! Thank you so much for your input. I do agree that I think I was a little too hasty with the middle phrases, though for some wird reason I liked it more than the rest of the song!

I feel obligated to go visit your Audio as well. Thanks again!

[I'm With Stupid (New)]

not a fan of ska but pretty decent work here

hey, its a pretty cool track and I could see this style of music appreciated by a large audience. overall, the song was kinda bland and generic, but hey, it still had a nice sound to it. the vocals remind me of the singer from green day. nice brass lines, and I appreciate that you added a well performed guitar solo in there. my favorite part where the drums.

keep up the good work man.

AceIH responds:

Thanks...trust me, I know how generic the song is. We've got much better songs, but I think you'll find the sound quality isn't quite as good in any of them.

[Post Alumna]

mmm nice catchy song

nice melody theme, the progression sounds a bit familiar. the drums are pretty cool, nice hi hat work. when you play the guitar-sounding synth, it has a catchy rhythm to it. cool solo laced in near the end of the track, it kinda blends in with the rest of the work, you could have brought out the sound more by panning it a little to the left or right. nice track quarl :)

Quarl responds:

har! Thanks for the reivew. I love it when people take the time out of their lives to write up something. It feels so nice. I'll make sure to return the favor!

I'm glad you liked the song. I used a really generic progression so I'm not suprised if it was easy to follow. The entire song is synthetic so...yeahhhhh...and the solo is improvised. I've secretly been working on that melody for two years though. It was the first thing I ever wrote on the guitar, so I just had to transepose it...ARrrrAeraqr.

[dingleberry]

this song has a particular catchy element to it

It sounds kinda cheap, but there was something about this song that made me listen to it 10 times consecutively while I was doing something elsewhere. I could probably listen to this loop all day without getting annoyed.

the melodies and song sounded a bit tedious and uninspired, but it had an overall nice reflection to it. the beats were kinda repetitive, but in a good way...perhaps you could have added a little bit of reverb to the brass to make them sound a bit more authentic. nice speaking in the end, I laughed. you got a really moody sax tone on one of your other songs(it was either linearcargo or gwai, or maybe both) that I liked.

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

cheers broski,
aye, it cheap, like i said i just chucked down a beat and a bass line so i could play some saxamaphone. listen out for some more well constructed stuff with sax overkill
;ped

[°°D-Tastic°°]

indeed many different styles

nice flute intro..I like the flow of the melody, it was a mixture of serious then sadness. rhe snare runs and orchestra makes it sound militaryish.

the rest of the song is pretty nice, it sounds like an old school rap beat. I love the drum samples. the beat had me dancin man. the panned lead synth is really catchy.

cool work here. tho the intro and second half of the song don't really mix well. seperately, they could have been very interesting songs. keep up the good work!

Whirlguy responds:

cool thanks for the review(:

[Syntrus Presents: Synimatix]

sweeeet man

this was a really different type of hip hop loop. I rather liked the change. the synths all blended in well making a cool electro sounding loop. The one that sounds like a mix between a harp, piano, and bell that comes halfway in through the mix sounds damn tight and has a nice sad melody to it. taking a stab at changing the drums a bit through the loop would help, although the simple beat complements the song nicely. I love the atmospheric vibes I get from the background FX.

overall very cool song!

Syntrus responds:

thx man

[~On-yX~ Insomnia Remix Demo.]

Nice start off clip..

the synths and drums sound nice in the beginning..its a pretty sweet loop. I don't know if you were planning on including the slowed down part in there.

should you continue? definetly! very sweet intro, you could add more to this and you'll have a complete sweet audio track at your disposal.

On-yX responds:

Thanks :) Yes I did intend a slow part at the end. I just wanted to add a little touch for the demo xD
