[Temple of the Seductress]

Mmm! Sweet!

This one has a very nice Arab feeling to it, exellent instrumentation!

Strings are stunning, percs are just awesome, mmm sitar...sweetness! Brass is also excellent, I must say you are really talented at writing this stuff, though your mastering could be better...

I liked the break at 2:00 really sweet and then you added more stuff to the track, the sitar solo was really great! And the second chorus was totally awesome, great Mediterranean/Arab feel!

Reminds me of "Kingdom of Heaven" the movie, you could easily write a soundtrack for a movie like that. ^^

Haha what a coincidence I've also just made an Egyptian/Arab techno song, a lil bit darker than this one but still I think it has some really nice elements, hope you can check it out and drop me a review later ^^

Hails!

[-KK- Mute City Remix]

Very nice!

Ahh good old F-Zero I love that game and that tune so much! Very nice remix...well its not quite a remix is more like a cover of the song.

Overall you did made it very well, though the transitions are a lil bit abrupt like the one at 00:19, I hope you understand what I mean ^^

A lil bit short but still good AND loopable by the way, great job you've done pal!

Greets!

KingKombat responds:

yeah, i understand, this was from the original on the NES, so i just went with it, and i'd say the result was good, no?

[Reasoner- Instrumental #4]

OMG!!!

Man this just.....so beautiful, Im sorry but Im very tired to write one of my large constructive/critical reviews, just wanted to tell you, this is just briliant, you're trulee one of the greatest composers Ive ever heard...man! Almost cryed while listening to this haha ^^,

Peace brother! Never stop touching our hearts!

Btw I promise my next review for you will be large and constructive.

Reasoner responds:

Thanks for the kind words bro. I'm looking forward to your much longer and constructive review lol. Thanks for listening.

[Judgement at Heaven Gate]

Stunning!!!

Never been a fan of classical music but this is more like the classical/cinematic music I like, would fit perfectly in a movie!

Heres my review ^^

You really knew how to transform into music every stage u described, from the gate opening to the total state of piece in heaven!

So the gate opens and you can listen to the trumpets and the soft melos of the horns, the choir enters...WOW! Awesome voice! Is that you? Well its very beautiful!

So you passed the gates and the piano comes in with lots of brass, giving the song a kind of busy feel.

And its time for the judgement! Well done there you totally changed the atmosphere of the song from happiness to suspense, the percussion there is very suitable and the choir comes again, you can listen to some calm strings in the background and then BOOM! You made it through the judgment and now you enter to heaven full of joy and happiness!

And the masterpiece ends giving you a nice feeling of total peace...

Ahh what a great track my friend!

Really this is the first track I've heard in NG that I think deserves a full 10/10 and 5/5 ^^

Great job, your very talented, keep going and never give up!

Hails!

dontxthemusic responds:

*sniffle* Thank you thank you. *bows* Ive heard some great stuff on NG so you saying that means alot...=DKeep checking back if you really like my stuff! I really enjoy doing this so as long as I have inspiration and time I'm going to keep doing it!

And yes, the easiest way for me to compose music is if I have a definite picture that the music is supposed to paint. Personally I feel that is the way music should be. It should live and breathe and intereact as we do. There is a word for the type of music that paints definite pictures, but considering that I have a headache atm I cant think of it XD

ah well, thanks for your review so much!!!!! <3333

sincerely.

[Moonlight full (DEMO)]

Dancy!!!

Great work here! Since the first seconds of the song you start moving your head haha, the song flows quite nicely but Im afraid you left a big part of the song (From 00:00 to 1:53) without a bass patern which made lose the danciness(if thats even a word lol) of the song.

Well the bass pops up and the tune flows nicely, adding even more percussion which is good, but its getting a lil bit repetitive, okay the song stops at 2:45 a you left the synth alone, not bad but takes to much time to get on groove again and when it does you just repeated the whole thing again...perhaps adding a chorus there would be a good idea ^^

Okay the main synth fades away and stops the song again and here we are at the main melody of the song, very nice! But in my opinion you took to long to get to the main tune, you could add another chorus by the half of the song that way it will make it less repetitive ^^

I like the tune very much, but work a little more on the structure of the song ; )

Sorry for the low grade but I dont give 9s or 10s that often, your song is good just work it a lil more.

Greets!

Krupinkin responds:

Well... thank you so much for a big and reasonable comment! I have reworked this song and made it a bit more of a dream house...

[[W] Perfection]

Nice...

A very chaotic synth to open a song, but not bad, the song flows very nicely overall but gets quite repetitive after a while, try making a second melody that fits (similar to) the one that you got already and leave it for the second chorus and for the third you could use the main melody back again and then finish the song, well its just a tip. ^^

Making the second melody will be the tough part (a very dificult thing in music) but good variation is what really pushes a song beyond.

And again is a good project, you synths are good (try to begin the song with a softer synth) you bass is very original and your drums are exellent, just give more variation and it will be "perfection" ^^

I know ull figure out a way to do it ; )

Good luck!

weemeee responds:

Hehe Thx :P :D
but if u listen carefully at 1:21 the melody is different :P
but anyways ill try to fix it sooner or later :P,

Ty for the review! :D
