It made me smile and chuckle. I love it although you are an a**hole for writing something so annoying and then putting it in the ska category. Nevertheless...props.

"Excellent!"

While it is not mind-blowing it is VERY well put together and it all works together and is very catchy. I must especially say that I love the clarity of your drums although at times I wondered if maybe they were a little too bright (but only a touch). While I would probably vote it at a 4, I'm voting 5 because this is way better than any kind of 3 -- its current score. Good work!

Score: 8

"Excellent work!"

submission: No Use

The only thing that I thought could be improved besides some minor tweaks to the pitch of the vocals at times was that I didn't really feel a climax to the song. Like it ebbs and flows, but it doesn't really ever peak. I think if you could find a way to create more drama in the music. Perhaps make the bridge at the end, if that's what you want to call that section, a little more different from the rest of the music. Perhaps more intensity, a different feel, or perhaps both. Other than that I have to say I really enjoyed it overall.

"I thought it sounded good..."

submission: Death from space

date: March 12, 2008

until I realized that you probably just stole it and posted it up here. There's no way in hell that you got a live orchestra to perform this with professional mixers to make it sound as good as it did. 0 vote from me.

"Props"

I can't believe people were giving this bad reviews. This is really pretty good. Especially when compared to the others submitted around the same time with better ratings than this. Kudos!

"Holy shit!"

I didn't know that you had "classical" in you! I'm very impressed. Nice orchestration and very cool melody and harmonic progression...if that last thing made any sense to you :) Some of the parts sounded a little weird because it sounded like you had too much stuff happening, but it only happened once, so don't worry about it too much. Anyway, great work, I can't wait to hear more from you in the future if you ever submit to the AP again.

"I like your music, but..."

submission: Petwoip - Xibes

date: January 11, 2006

Now don't take this the wrong way because I am not negatively criticizing, but merely telling you my view on a few things. After listening to 25 Instruments, Vibes, Xibes, Change of Course, and The Sad Ending I have come the the following three conclusions:

1) You are off to a great start as a composer, but your general sound still sounds a little ameture-ish. Just keep working and, of course, you will naturally get better. A lot of your music sounds to much the same the whole way through. I would reccomend that you make another "section" within your compositions. I know that you love to run your ideas until they are dead in the ground, but consider using separate "ideas" in your music to add a little freshness and help prevent them from sounding too redundant.

2) You need to learn about using reverb and delays in your music. The snare and tambourine in vibe sounded a little dead to me. I think that adding some ambience to the sound with a little reverb might add a little life to your percussion. Delay, more often than not (and take this with a grain of salt) will fatten your bass sounds (and other sounds sometimes as well). I sugguest experimenting with the effects to see if/how you like them.

3) Sometimes it soounds like there is simply too much going on in your music at once and makes the song sound confusing or muddy because there is too much going on for me to distinguish between all the ideas swirling around at once.

One great way that I try to improve my music is to listen (really closely) to whatever music I like and try to catch everything that is going on that I like about it and what is going on that makes it sound the way it does and makes me react to it the way I do. Then take these theories/concept that you have learned and apply them to your music.

Thanks again for the review...I know this was probably more than you bargained for, but I hope it helps you nonetheless.

Score: 10

"Holy shit!"

submission: AznPB - Desire 2005

date: October 17, 2005

Your music blows my mind! This is song just gets better and better as it goes on. The only thing I might suggest is that I would make the transitions in to the different sections more fluid so it doesn't sound like [Section 1 - Fade out - Section 2 - Fade out - Section 3] and so on. Otherwise this is a badass track.

Score: 9

"Woah, this is gonna be hot when its done!"

submission: Radiostorm

date: October 17, 2005

My only problem is that it sounds like there is too many sounds going on at once and it sounds a little confusing. Try not to make it sound too busy. Other than that, this demo is incredible. I love your choices of sounds...it definately has a classic trance sound to it! Keep up the good work! ^_^

That was so smooth! I loved how you worked some 8-bit sounds into your beat! That is so original (to me anyway). You are a genious! 5 vote from me homie.
