[Release Me (FX-82 PLUS Remix)]

Definitely has potential.

Overall, it changes just enough to stay fresh and exciting through the song. Rising action had me worried for a moment, until the drop around the first minute mark.

After the first drop, I was expecting another bass or something deeper to come in. Right now, the song really needs some depth to it. The multiple layers and complex melodic rifts are a really good start (like REALLY good), but it still sounds flat.

Either a lower kick or (even better) a pulsing bass-line would do wonders.

(8/3)

delibrete responds:

I was actually considering to have an intense bass drop after the build up at the start, but since I'm using Linux Multimedia Studio, it's a lot harder to have something like that (I was thinking about making it a dubstep track, because that's what it sounds like when you hear the start).

It took me a long time to try and perfect the start, and then I worked on the rest. Maybe sometime in the future I'll turn this into a dubstep track once I figure out how to produce dubstep.

Thank you for your input :)

[The Anguished Man]

Just....beautiful. Simple and wonderful.

The flowing harp arpeggio really helps the song move.

HARPSICHORD AND, OH DEAR GOD, THOSE STRINGS. I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE THEM RIGHT NOW. asdfghjkl.

On a serious note, it is very airy and light, giving it a nice nostalgic or resentful tone which I absolutely adore. When I listen, I imagine a man thinking about someone that he lost long ago.

Also, the nice round effect you manage to create while only using the violins and...is that a flute I hear?

(10/5)

"So the usual intsruments, a kazoo, a triangle, and a comedic clown's whistle."

Harp, correct. Harp-C-Chord, correct. Violins, correct. Flute? Actually, French horn off in the background. Although unless you were thinking of something else, I find with certain reverb, the ensemble can become greater than the sum of its parts and a non-existent instrument may be heard :P.

Thank you so much for this awesome review.

[A Blast From The Musical]

Very "baroque" of you, sir.

It sounds very "Pachelbel Canon"ish in the beginning, but he was the godfather of baroque.

I love the harpsichord trill near the end.

To be honest, my only complaint is that it was too short. Can't find anything wrong with it. Would've been a 10 if you hadn't mentioned the worse instrument ever created in the description. *cough cough* burn cellos, burn *cough*
Violins all the way~

:3

(9/5)

WingoWinston responds:

LOL! Cellos are awesome man!

Yeah well my "I know what it sounds like" comment was akin to the cannon :P
I'm totally down with harpsichord songs, when I make another one I'll send it your way... and use violins luls.
