[The Fan]

Oh, fan :P

-Coming to this I first thought it was going to be about a fan that blows wind and I feel kind of silly for not thinking about the other fan possibility first. Some nice indie work and you've been coming along nicely I see. Cool to see that you aren't working solo anymore.

-I feel like a broken record saying that the guitar intro was sloppy but it can always be worked on in the future. When things calm down and the vocals come in it sounds much better and you have a nice mix of percussion in the background. I do quite enjoy the part that starts at 1:34 too and it's a nicely placed transition to give the song a boost. I'm going to assume that it's the chorus since it comes up again later too. But it's good :) For the most part the vocals come through clearly and are pronounced enough.

-Overall the structure of the song and lyrics fit well together. Just a nice blend of everything. Filled with many high and low points. Once of the better works i've heard from you. The beginning and end aren't customary but they give the song a nice edge of being on the spot and not pre-planned. Hope everything turns out well with the band.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks a lot, man! I'll definitely work on the points you said and such. I'm still planning on adding more sections anyway. Glad you liked it! If you want I'll send you a download link to our EP once we finish. Thanks!

Everland

-It boasts a nice melody mixed with some percussion and a piano sidekick to boot. I find it sort of played down and not so over the top but the way you handled the volume and layering is fine. Very subtle and finely tuned. Structure isn't half bad but I find the song to be lacking in the length department. A few nice transitions and variety throughout which kept me interested. Overall it's not bad for your first dabble into the genre.

Thanks a bunch for the useful feeback (:

[Eric Freeman - Pickle]

Lol, love the title

-While it does start off rather slow it's a damn good introduction to the song. Very soft and subtle with the occasional breakdown. Not too much usage of the pads but enough to give variety. But it's not like this song is anywhere near short on variety. I don't think i've ever come across a song that was so vibrant and full of suprises.

-You've created a wonderful atmospheric melody and the wildlife noise is a nice touch that adds to the relaxing effect. Nice transitions but seemed a little slow to take effect sometimes. Layered well and can appeal to a wide variety of people. Overall an enjoyable song that takes a backseat and lets you relax.

-Maybe she thought the squeeky noises were like pickles or something like that. Could of just been the first thing that came to mind too.

EricFreeman responds:

Haha thanks. Yeah, I wasn't sure where this song was going to go when I started it and I kept adding things, changing things, and mixing them together.

And yeah, I know what you mean about the song being slow at times. However, this was definitely more of a background music piece then something they play out on the dance floor, haha.

Thanks for reviewing!

[[Kieda] Reflection]

Well done.

-Well it's definitely entrancing. Very catchy beat that doesn't let up the intensity. Nice and fruity with rough edges. Synths are spot on and add to the effect ever more so. 1:41 was a nice transition to add much needed variety. In the end everything just seems to come full circle but not let down on the pace from the start. Work and time in this shows and i've grown to really like it over the few times that i've listened to it.

Thanks for the kind words (:

[Minor Light - Passion]

Relaxing

-Ah a nice melodic introduction to this one. I like how the beginning buildup was laid out. Everything didn't come in at once but was layered out very slowly. There could be more variation in the middle as it stays kind of stagnant for a while before the bells come chiming in. Overall I think it's a good listen. Maybe a bit too long though.

Thank you for the review!
As you pointed out, my songs dont variate as much as they do so i will try to work on that... Im glad you liked the beginning though :)

[~Alfa~ The Beauty of the World]

Masterfully Done

-Your work has really grown in quality since last I had the chance to have your music reach my ears. Much improved and i'm not suprised as your work has always been up there imo. Very enjoyable melodic piece that you have put together. Has this way of toying with your emotions in a good way. Very happy and atmospheric throughout.

-2:49 really suprised me and was without a doubt my favorite transition in the song. It was just so unexpected on first hearing it and had a resounding umph to it. Followed by a resurgence in the melody. Coming back just a tad stronger but it brought a new side to the slow ambient sound that it started with. Rather long song but not too long as it was structured well.

-Honestly not anything I could find to pick at. Very well thought out song that came together masterfully in the end. Definitely worth the ten and favorite.

Thanks man! Really appreciate it!

Nice stuff

-Surely has been a while since i've browsed the audio portal. Recognized the name and remembered that you've put out some gems so I figured i'd start with something i'd enjoy listening to rather than a jumbled mess that needs tons of critiqueing.

-First and foremost I never got the chance to listen to this before the changes but it seems like you have the bass in check as it isn't too loud or overpowering. I actually had to turn up the volume on my headphones a little for the finer details.

-For the melodies I did find that they sound very nice but progressions in the song are hit and miss. Structure is put together phenomenally as it does create a sense of a real timeline and events happening. But there could be more spice and ingenuity in the note progression as it seemed a little standard for a piece like this.

-Overall I enjoyed the song and getting the chance to review it. Not your best but it's still pretty good. The guitar introduction was my favorite part and went nicely towards the end of the song.

Thanks!

'Recognized the name and remembered that you've put out some gems so I figured i'd start with something i'd enjoy listening to rather than a jumbled mess that needs tons of critiqueing.' - Didn't know I was that popular? (Just kidding =p) Glad you like my music, I do my best to improve every time based on previous feedback ;)

The things you said were also mentioned by some of the other reviewers, so I'll definitely try to improve on those points.

Thanks again for the review! Glad you liked it :)

[.:Duh?:.]

Oh!

-Nice to see another reqest coming from you and on such a short interval from the last one. Shows that you are staying pretty active in the music making which is a good thing. Practice makes perfect is something that works for most stuff.

-Music to my ears to see something of this type of sound. I've heard too many pop and techno oriented songs lately and it's nice to see a change. Loved the jazzy roots that this song is generated around. The piano sounds lovely and the deep tones of the song as a whole blend together nicely.

-Progresses almost perfectly and loops seemlessly. I didn't even notice this was a loop until I checked the length of the song and knew I was on the page much longer than that. Excellent job with this overall.

camoshark responds:

Thanks alot, sorry for the late feedback!

Since the very first time I requested song reviews (mid-august), I've almost never skipped a week, and even then, I don't ask for everything I post. I guess you could call that active!

Anyways, great hearing you like it, hope you also enjoy my other stuff!!

Cheers,

Nice song

-Nice melodic sound and it's simple in a good way. Using just a few instruments to get the job done. Buildup for the song is rather long. It does progress rather nicely in the long run though so no complaints there. Pleasant to the ears and even has a sort of atmospheric sound to it. Keep up the good work.

[The Noise Sound]

Good Job

-Nice to see this come to fruition as it was definitely in working order to be built upon. You had a nice start to it and I see you went in a very different direction than I thought this would go. Very industrial and mechanical sounding.

-You transitioned the pace and sound very nicely at about :50 while still keeping a consistent flow. Albiet the electronic voicing seemed a bit oddly placed but did serve a noticable purpose. Keep up the good work.
