[Dreamin demo]

Cool

Like the song and singing, and the whole feel of the intro, but needs some work on the other elements to bring it together; a nicer distorted guitar sound (as in less distortion, some comp + eq), bring the bass out a bit, a more defined ending and defo needs some drums, but overall good, all the hard work's already been done so :) well done!

dariaband responds:

Thank you very much for your constructive review :D! Yes We're going to record drums and other lines ;D ! We're just looking for drums and bass^^

[Hiding in the Darkness.]

Epic! Sublime!

Outstanding. Really.

Everything about this track is good, the arrangement really works, the writing is good and the mix is excellent! Good vocals too, god I wish I could sing >> There's only one thing I don't like, and that's the autotune + pitchshift effect towards the end of the vocals, doesn't really fit n detracts from the sheer awesomeness of the song. Well done!

Pushbar responds:

You have a point there. Since i was going for a prog rock kind of style i tried various effects, but i guess autotune didn't fit the style.

Thanks anyway ;D

[PlayOnTheStringsOfABrokenHeart]

Oh my...

Something quite brilliant, unique and wonderful. I liked it for the first minute but the vocals really just blew me away. Production wise, it's very harsh on the ears, that could be cleaned up a little with some slight eq and compression and still keep the feel, but apart from that quite wonderful.

Kilkashi responds:

I intend to do some reworking of it in the near future. Complications and other life matters have led to the long delay. Thank you for your insightfulness and critique.

[D17 - Minutes to Midnight]

Drum-tastic!

Absolutely loved the drums, the bells were nice too. Wasn't convinced by the synth chiors but it's not like any of us have access to a group of professional singers, eh? >> I wish. Strings and horns were interesting too, but I have to say the drums were the best part by far. Good work.

Echo responds:

The drums are brilliant i have to admit. But synth choirs? Those are East West Symphonic Choirs, the best choir VST you can ever get so far. Admittedly i cant use them that well yet, but effectively, i do have access to a group of singers, they're just on my computer instead of in real life. :|

Well anyway, tks for the review ;)

[Restless Winds]

OOGABOOGA CHIMES!

That's what I think about when I heard this track >> bit weird but, hey, you asked for a name >>

gabredi responds:

Yeeaaaahhhh... Not quite... But thanks for trying.
I don't like that review score :( Hope you actually liked the tune.
Thanks for the review!
