[Acoustic Visions]

Awesome ambiance

I like to listen acoustic piece in between two brutal ass metal track, lol. I loved this one. It was very relaxing, and it has a great feeling. And yeah the little mistakes was awesome, good idea to let them. It sounded authentic because the guitar wasn't perfectly in tune but it's not a problem it's actually a good point. The chord progression was epic nearly the end, too bad it was very short. I really hope you will make an extended piece for my ears pleasure : ). Keep on being awesome. 5'd.

Dimoria responds:

Thank you my friend. I know :) I didn't want it to sound perfect. I even let some background noise from my couch etc stay. All for the authenticy. Glad you liked it :)
Cheers n beers.

[No Universe - Sample]

Perfect for a RPG

Yeah I would love playing a good RPG with this song on the background, something like Crysis if you know this game. The begining of the song would fit this game very well actually. The instruments you used were amazing, EWQL Silver Edition sounded very good, you will have to send it to me :P. The guitar melody, at the end were simple and in the background but it was a great addition.

I'm listening it with my studio headset and I'm like in a dream, it's so emotional. I really hope you will make an extended version and I'm also looking forward watching your brother's movie, with an awesome track like this, the movie can't be bad. Keep up the good work man, you are such a poet but you don't write on a piece of paper but you write music <3.

Dimoria responds:

Thank you so much :) Yeah I've played crysis :) When you say it I think you are right. But this wasn't silver edition. This was GOLD ;9
That is always what I'm trying to aim for :)
Yeah I hope it will be good. I'm such a fag.
;)
Thank you.
Hope to hear more from you.
Cheers.

[Redneck In Exär]

Oh yeah baby

I love how you can play all the kinds of music, you are such a "orchestra man" lol. Good guitar job, the chord progression wasn't complex but it was a typical Country progression. Nice drum/bass groove. At 0:42, the little voice reminded me of Matthew Gay Bellamy lol. That was so funny. Too bad, Lashmush hasn't posted anything in a while, or maybe it's me because I haven't checked his page in a while lol. 5'd fucker, 3.43 / 5.00 (+ 0.53)

Dimoria responds:

Hah I used to conduct an orchestra when I was like 16 - 17 it was fucking hard but fun as hell :) But I'm not really an orchestra man ;) Yeah it was the point :)
I spoke to Lashmush not long ago. He is making a part 3 of Ultima eturnus.
And what I've heard so far it's going to be a total masterpiece!

[Fat Bastard]

LULZ

I can't stop laughing dude. This is pure genius. The first thing at the begining was lolable. "Laaabulululaaabululula", really awesome. And also I loved when you say "I am a piece of shit".

Good music also, I'm still in love with your drum kit. Good melody, did you used an acoustic guitar or was it your Pod ? And great vocal performance, good job at 0:55.

It was fun and ALSO a musical masterpiece, so yeah. 5'd 4.55 / 5.00 (+ 0.067)

Dimoria responds:

Hah I made this for Nadine and I flash I had in my had that no one has made yet :p
It was my fathers acoustic guitar. It was kind of easy to make since I've had like the melody in my head since the first time I met one of my fathers best friends who was Spanish . He showed me some Gipsy king music when I was little. But unfortunatly he killed him self :/
Still , he was an extremly great guy.
Cheers.

[[LY] `Asylum, --]

Needs work

Yeah it needs work, especially with the structure of the song. Actually, I can't detect the structure of the song. I would rather hear a more simple beat (but stronger) than "messy" patterns that make the song difficult to feel. Though,at the begining, the rhythm wasn't bad, I would say I enjoyed it, especially the triplets, nice feeling. But then it gets messy.

Work on the stucture and on the beat and I would be curious to see the fixed product ; ).

la-yinn responds:

I get what you mean, but this was more of an experiment to see what certain instruments would do. The same goes for my other two songs, they each have an other genre, but again - this was just sort of a test. Expect more quality work from me from now on. ;)

Thanks for the review!

[p4c-Midnight]

Not my style but nice !

Yeah, Trance is not my style of music at all but I really enjoyed this piece. Congrat's, you made a metalhead love a Trance song lol.

The begining was groovy, great beat, I enjoyed the "clap" lol. And FINALLY a song with an intressting chord progression ... I'm really tired with all these with at best three major chords :P. So yeah great chord progression, it gave the song a funky/fusion feeling, loved it :3. The guitar was a nice addition and you did a great job with the effects, it diversified the song. Pretty solid bass line.

Seriously, I don't have anything to complain about, and I hate (normally) Trance ... thank you for doing a good Trance song. Oh yes, one thing, you should have stopper the "sshhhh" (at 0:30 and later in the song) at the begining of the next bar. Just a suggestion. Great job. 5'd.

p4c responds:

YEAHHHH rock on! heheheheeh maybe ill convert ppl from other genres to the dark side... mnahahahuhuauhauhahuauha!

i was getting tired of all the shitty trance too, trust me. maybe some other ng ppl will learn to diversify from this? at least i hope.

[Unfinished Symphony Pt 2]

Hum

Again, the melody and the progresson are WAY too simplistic. The three notes of the melody sound good with the chords but the same thing during more than three minutes ... it's not enough at all.

Though I really enjoyed the drum work. The begining sounded a bit Industrial, with the dirstortion on the crash. And also it sounded old-school. Therefore, you catched two different feeling with the drums, and I love it. About the diversification of the drums, it's better than in the Unfinished Symphony Pt 1, but I still think you can do better : ).

Good job again, you can still improve it a little :P. Well done.

*Review Request Club*

Chymo responds:

Thanks again man. I'm sorry you felt as though it wasn't enough. I try not to disappoint listeners. I'm glad you liked the drums though, that was something I wanted to improve on with the second part. Like I said I plan to make up for it with the third installation.

[Unfinished Symphony Pt 1]

Pretty good

The intro was nice, the beat was nice, I liked the phaser (?), it gave the drums another dimension, pretty nice. Though you should diversify the patterns it gets a little repetitive after a while.

The orchestra stuff was good too, the intruments sounded well, quite realistic. The chord progression was, though, too simple ... this chord progression is used in a too much songs. Also, a big problem, when the piano came in at 1:04, there was a crakling. A sort of clipping. I don't think it's my speakers because I aslo tried to listen it with my Studio headset and it was the same thing. So fix : ).

Overall, a nice song with a good choice of intruments, though you should re-arrange it diversifying it. And also fixing that crackling.

*Review Request Club*

Chymo responds:

Thanks. The cracking is intentional. It's part of the drums. Like an old-school vinyl. The chord progression, yeah man. I'm not trained in music so I don't really know about chord progressions and stuff. Probably something to learn. I'll be able to dedicate more of my time to music when I get my own Mac. Like I said, I'll revisit stuff and improve on it.

[LED CIrcus - The Land Of Nod]

Nice !

I enjoyed the feeling of this song, it has something unique, you really catched a good ambiance.

The song was well composed and the structure was nice and well organized which isn't the case in a lot of songs, so it's a good point. The chord progression was very simple though it wasn't annoying at all, actually, I should say that it was quite catchy ; ). The harmonisation at the begining of the piece was good but it started too late in my opinion. Another thing, I loved when the drums came in, the Equalisation work was great.

Overall it was very good, it shows that you put a lot of effort in this piece, you are rewarded :P. 5'd 4.35 / 5.00 (+ 0.033)

*Review Request Club*

Chymo responds:

Thankyou. I appreciate what your saying. I did put a lot of hard work into this piece. Thanks for saying it's well composed. I intended it to be catchy =P, it brings in more listeners! Cheers for the 5, and cheers for reviewing.

[Tomorrow Never Comes]

Needs improvement

There wasn't a solid strucure in this song, and overall, it sounded quite "messy" if I dare to say. Unless the unoriginality of the begining, it wasn't bad but when it get rhythmed, it sounded unsynchronized. Then it gets better but you need to work more with the drums. From 1:17 to the end, it has nothing in common with the beginin of the song and all these "explosion" sounds made the song ununderstandable. It really needs work.

I'll see about a version 2, or just a remake.

Thank you,
