Was about to leave, then at 2:10 you picked up the pace and kept me here. Got a bit monotone at the end, but other than that I think you could call this turkey done.

It's good, but I can tell you right now this is not industrial. Try putting it under Ambient.

As someone who normally hates dubstep for being tone-deaf and unoriginal, I have to say this ws quite original and for the most part carried a proper melody. The bass at the beginning was hard to listen to with headphones - too heavy on the right side - but other than that the song was very well balanced. This is good work; keep it up.

CowardlyLion responds:

Thank you very much! Not all dubstep is that way, my friend, gotta broaden your horizons. The sub bass itself was too heavy on the right side? That's odd, I never changed the stereo orientation of the sub bass. It could be the drum that's doing that. I had put a bandpass filter on it for the intro and for some reason it throws it over to the right side completely. I'll work on that.

For what it is, it's not bad. It's just not really my thing.

But that's not why I knocked the score. My criticism is with the vocals. They're too rigid and inflexible, trying too hard to match the tempo of the music, and as a result the words feel drawn out in some spots and compressed in others. It's a mistake that I've heard a lot from songs in the last few years, and it's part of what made the 2000's so musically unimpressive. Lyrics should flow freely, keeping time with the music but not beholden to its every movement.

I honestly have to idea what I am doing when It comes to recording and compression stuff. As the sing style, personally, I like the way it turned out but I understand how someone wouldn't.

Only knocked off half a star for that buzzing at the beginning. Even so, I've downloaded it for future reference. If you ever feel compelled to re-record this, do let us know.

This is fine as a piano solo, but also has a lot of potential as an orchestral piece - very clear roles for brass, strings, etc. that don't interfere with each other. Well written, great composition; flowed very nicely from one part to the next. Downloading this, but I'd really like to hear it played by an orchestra or a classical band.

NordicHazard responds:

i thought about it before uploading it. Logic pro 9 doesn't actually have nice orchestral, the sound is quite digital... nothing in compare to programms like east west, dammit! >.<
anyway thanks a lot!

Flawless

I felt like I was listening to a genuine 1980's chart-topper. This is a wonderful piece and a new addition to my favorites list.

rayphonic responds:

Thanks!

Thank you

You have successfully captured in a song what I go through every day. This is not a bad thing; it's a very real portrayal of how difficult it is to deal with a health complication, whether it's just a "small scare" or something you'll probably have the rest of your life. And I don't think that's something very many people understand, because they don't experience it for themselves.

In any case, glad to hear you're okay, and this song is beautiful even apart from the message. 10/10.

Well...

...if it was Mario you were aiming for, way to go.

Normally I don't like boppy techno, but something about this song just made me smile. Like the kind of smile you get from a perfect glass of lemonade...or, y'know, something like that. Anyway, your reputation as a musician is intact. 10/10.

Not bad

Kind of took me back to the nineties; it carries the vibe of that decade. Could use some extension, but it's not bad on its own; it's at least better than some of what gets on the radio these days.

TheMadWasp responds:

LOL Thanks man, I appreciate it, the song was actually based on an old song from one of the very old eJay's (eJay Special Edition) and yeah, it needs to be extended.

I shall make a "Full Version" of this song.

-Madjasper1 (P.S Thanks again)
