Good Beginning

I think Kriotube lacks a lot of impact. It doesn't rock my socks off, it just, slips them off gently, like a thief in the night instead of the music-magic-icon it should be. But Goddamn, the beginning is awesome. Like Final Fantasy and Sex. The rest just seemed to start lacking in that it wasn't interesting as the rest of your work.

Good Job

It has two different changes of pace that play with the importance of the various instruments, at the beggining you'll be inundated with chaotic mixtures just to have the support come forward as everything else dies. The second part maintains the rithim and blends in with a fantastic transition while going almost the opposite way. It acts like a snake, the melody will keep going back and forth between being overpowered by the support and being as clear as a lighthouse in the night, then comes the finish, which is best described as perfect. Seriously forgetting for one minute that every other positive review will have the term "perfect" loosely used to described even something that was mildly pleasing. The ending of this song has no equal. By that point you have been going back and forth between the melody and the support, instead of finishing abruptly, or, as it is more recently favoured, by simply raising the volume and putting a random bang in the end, all parts of the song come together in rising. It does not start slow but it will seem that way after hearing the whole thing, the speed and pitch increase without losing sight of each other.

Interesting

Interesting beginning, I like the pause. I like the little background noises. It's kinda interesting how a random sounds just kinda jump in and out of the song, making it more of a song with every repetition. Once again, nice background sounds. Change in atmosphere, with a guitar in the background, I like it. The music softens up, and is beginning to intensify. Synth comes in... ooh spiffy! Pause, then guitar! ^ ^ I love your guitar, I wish I could play like that... It feels very Dimrain-y... a new synth, quiet this time, but very cool. It does the one-note guitar background... Ooh! I love the pause! Wow! Nice job on how the synth jumps in like that! ... Bam! Awsome ending!

Great Job

The parts I like the most are the sad buildup and the Slided melo (1 min to 1 min 10 sec) who's very impressive but also very under-rated.. the beats are quite ugly imo and the whole thing is way too fast.. But Damn man you've got skills! but I don't think people who doesn't understand techno can like this (wouldn't make a world hit). You'd probably have more luck making some rap beats rofl (now when anyone will tell me that rap beats are incredible I will show them this song ;) ).

Remix

-I think you did a rather swell job of reworking this song from the original. It might still be repetitive but it's not quite as repetitive as the original was. You did a great job of quickening the pace and adding many additional percussion elements and even a piano into the mix. I still felt that the length of the song was a bit much. Even though it does have variety it just wasn't enough to compensate for the length of the song. I'm not going to downgrade for that though since you put a lot of effort into this song and it sounds wonderful. Looking forward to more stuff from you.

Wow thanks man, I'll have more out soon!

Hmmm

-I'm not going to lie. Your bbs signature completely reminded me that I still hadn't reviewed your new work. So as soon as I had a chance today I came by and gave it a listen.

-It does build rather slowly even for my taste but it's well worth the wait. It hearkened me back to the old days when cowbells were a plenty. Mau5 always did find a way to put interesting percussion into his stuff and i'm glad that you used him as a model. But the kick does get rather monotonous. It seems like it's the base for the beat of the song but i'd still like for it to have more variety.

-The lack of a song climax is an interesting choice of structure. It suits how low the song is for the majority of the song but it feels empty towards the end without one. The simple transition back to a build-up stage made it feel rather lacking.

-0:44 "Oh, cowbell, how I have missed you in recent years. You bring so much joy to my heart and soul."

thanks for the review! I'll try and work on a a better build-up/climax.

Congratulations!

-You've won! What is it that i've won? Inspiration silly! Well at least you've drummed up enough inspiration out of me to do my first review off of the lengthy list of requested submission that we have this time around in the Review Request Club. This song is much different from most of the stuff I listen to. It's really slow and a bit ambient but it caught me as something that's working in a different direction.

-The overall melody was very well put together. It was very free flowing and while it didn't change a whole lot throughout the duration of the song it was really fruity and cheerful. This gave it the driving force that I usually look for in a song. Something that really pushes the song forward and keeps you interested. I also found the sound to be of relatively good quality and helped me focus on the song better. It isn't the best i've heard so maybe some mastering might be in need here but it's not a requirement.

-Anywho i'm quite satisfied with the length of the song being over four minutes. It allowed you to have several buildups and incorporate the drums into the song nicely. The beginning stayed very stagnant for too long and could be shortened or brought in more percussion earlier to supplement it. The keyboard is one of the few instruments that can be really interesting by itself but it can always use some help here and there. I will have to say my favorite parts were the buildups into the cymbals(i've come to find out that I love the use of cymbals in instrumental only songs). It always sped up just a little bit and brought the main melody back in a resurgence. Everything, as I said earlier, was very free flowing and it progressed nicely throughout. Bringing you to the suttle ending where you brought everything to a close in a nice timely manner.

-It's not the best work i've seen but it gets it's points for originality. I'd much rather see interesting new music be made than the normal dance and techno that has really been flooding the portal lately. Just keep doing what you're doing and with time you will improve.

Mmm I like what I hear; thank you!

lol yeah this wasn't mastered very well. I'll probably be taking another look at the bass soon.

Muskrats

I absolutely loved the intro. It was slower paced than the rest of the song and was really fruity. It quickly sped up but the fact that it was much faster didn't hurt the song too much since it progressed nicely. I just felt it would of been better if it was slower more often.

mooseymaniac responds:

Dude, muskrats. and marmots can't forget marmots.
I appreciate your feedback and opinion! Thank you!

Voltage

-This is definitely deserving of it's high ranking for the week. The reason i'm saying that is the fact that you posted up a work in progress and then took people's advice off of that. Usually when you do that it results in a much better song end result.

-The song is structured very well. Nice beggining, middle, and end. There are many breaks and progressions throughout and in my opinion most of them were really good. It was a nice listen overall.

IceMasterDlux responds:

Thank you a ton! I'm so glad you like it! God bless!

I'm a pretty laid back person. Like some things about the new design but still like a lot of things from the old one :/
