[Wings ~P~]

I don't usually give nooby reviews like this but..

FREAKING AWESOME. Keep it up! I love your music, and it was part of my inspiration!

[The Fire Behemoth]

Bravo. You've come far, huh?

I don't particularly enjoy DnB, so I don't listen to many of your songs. I enjoy this piece, though. It has a catchy tune, and you added a bunch of distortions. I might not be the right guy to rate your work, but it's really good. And being given a 10 by your idol... I would faint. :P I wish WaterFlame would see my work...
Well, you did good. Everyone seems to agree. Keep it up~

RetromanOMG responds:

Thank you, Drew. I'll be changing gears in the next few weeks, and during that time, I'll be sure to do a more "Drew friendly" song.

Also, your music's pretty awesome too.

[Swamp Run (WIP)]

I swear I've heard that somewhere...

Well, let's see. I think the piece should have a few more instruments, as I usually do. I think you should include more background chords in your music. Other than that, it's great. I think it sounds much more like a rock or R'n'B song.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks! I completely messed up the chart though so I may not add on to it. I'm thinking of letting Retroman finish / modify it, so I'm trying to find a way to send him the file.

Thanks for the review! I've gotten mixed reviews for this song, and it's usually either love or hate. Thanks for being more on the positive side, hahaha.

[I Want to Fly]

Awesome. Nice job

Well, here's my 10. This is a great piece. It's passionate and trance/techno. I would argue with the overuse of slides, but I know how much you love them and how they're kind of your style. I especially like the 1:10 part. One thing I noticed was in the guitar sync, the chords didnt match. Well, no biggie. Still a great piece.
You really hit gold here, Open.
10/10.
5/5.

OpenLight responds:

Ha, thanks! I'm really glad to know that I did something very well with this.

Wooo!

[[DN] 7 Skies- Caffeine Respray]

Too short, but good.

Trance songs are supposed to be 3-5 minutes long. With yours less than 60 seconds, we were half way through the song before the actaully tune started playing. It's great, but I wish you could have made this song longer, as it has great potential. 4/5, and 8/10 for me. Make it longer, though, and you'll be seeing full marks soon enough. Keep making music.

DanceNation responds:

Yes I agree, but actually trance songs are around 5-8 minutes long, consist of a intro build up, climax breakdown, climax, outro. This is basically just me working on specific parts of a song. (and if anything its a "demo" because of its length). I also dont like uploading full trance songs here, because there are 2 types of trance listeners here: the ones like you (few) who actually want to hear the WHOLE thing, then there are the others, who just wanna hear build up and climax, and if there is anything more they get bored and just 0. Thanks for saying its great :) It was really just a way for me to practice getting the trance pluck i want along with the pads.
Thanks tho, and mebe, if i can just get these pads figured out, I'll make a full version.

Once again, Thanks

[Beautiful Trance - O.D.]

Dude. I want to make a remix of this now.

Great tune and job by the way. I think you should cut out the beginning noises, though. The melody is fine as it is, really, no need to put in other nonsense. You might want to make the transition a little smoother, too.

I wouldn't exactly call you a DJ, but you've got a good ear. Keep making songs, and add variety. It really helps.

-Drew

Zodin responds:

Thank you :) This is a pleasing review. Maybe your right about the noises :D
The DJ Name, is generally because i've made 13 songs, and 4 remixes.
Anyways thanks again :]

[-Monsterbreaks-]

Another great piece.

I will vote this 5 stars. Every day. Until 2012. Another masterpiece, Waterflame, and good job indeed.

[Exhale (Release)]

Has quite a tune.

Well, for a song you made without headphones I'd say you did pretty well. It has a great tune, and is a pretty merry song that could be made into a town music in a RPG. Actually, scratch that. I don't know WHAT it could be used for. It's one of those songs that needs repetitivity, and it was, in the end, another success. :P Nice.

OpenLight responds:

Haha thank you. This was originally a 1 pattern dial tone for Skype, but I liked how it sounded so I extended it.

[The First Postlude]

Some minor things, but an alright song.

Indeed, a slower paced song. It's pretty good considering your other songs are all so fast and trance/techno/rave. You could have added more instruments, I feel just a few more would complete the song and make the cruelest critic stopping at your doorstep with flowers.

OpenLight responds:

Haha, thank you. I may redo this later on, and I'll let you know if and when I start.

[Riku]

There could be better instruments.

Personally, I think the original is much better. You could do so much better; the instrument choice sounds kind of... how do I put this... putting bells or something for a song as epic as Riku's Theme just didn't sound right. I'm only rating it so high because you managed to hit (almost) every note and Riku's Theme must be one of my favorite KH songs.

BlackskullB responds:

Well ofcourse the original is loads better xD We're talking about Yoko Shimomura here, Yoko Shimomura is a god! xD
I personally kinda liked the bells, it made it a bit more mysterious think =p
