my god...
JEBUS! What the hell was that?!
That insane crackling sound, that FREAKY ass monster sound. It brings back way too many Silent Hill memories... I couldn't sleep for months ._.
MONTHS!
In any case, this is one of the best scares i've had in a really long time. Where did you get these samples?! That speaking in the beginning was perfect... pure ace. It set the mood perfectly.
Keep them coming RedHotPoker, this was... brilliant.
Lol. I'm sorry if i brought back horrible memories of silenthill. I honestly cant believe that I scared you. Lol thanks man your an inspiration.
Sweet
This one was rather entertaining too. I didn't quite find it as scary as the other one, but the choirs here work excellently. Where did you get the choir sounds?
In any case, it's another great ambiant piece. I should really try my hand at this genre.
How did you build that very end, with those crazy build up of sounds before it loops. I've always wondered how to do that.
In any case, another great work, i'm glad I jumped to your page. Keep up the good fight RedHotPoker :D! Keep em coming.
I'm afraid to say that i took the choir from the fable game album. :( There's like two entire tracks of just silence and beautifully done choir. Also the crazy build up sound is some what of a mystery to me. I can't remember what i did but i guess I just took a string sound and doted it around and then have a underlying synth panning across.
Anyway thanks for the review.

A very interesting title, and a very interesting atmosphere.
You know what... this song actually scares me. I mean really, the more I listen to it, the more scared I get. I actually had to turn it off after I turned off the lights in my room and listened to it in the darkness.
It's the imagery I get from that crackling old record sound (how DID you get that?), and the steady thumping, with the ever so faint synths.
It's a damn useful loop if ever I heard one. Well done, keep up the good fight!
Lol. I scared you? You have no idea how good that makes me feel inside. :) And seen as your interested, i have a really old mike (from like 7 years ago) and when you record silence it gives off the sound of constant static. So i simple injected silence every so often and boom it was done.
Impressive!
A very laid back and interesting melody. Those guitar synths played such a mellow, great loop. I swear I could listen to just that for hours.
Of course you didn't just leave it at that though, the gradual progression of the song was brilliant. I loved how it evolved from it's core, constantly expanding, yet remaining familiar.
Nice use of delay and reverb.
After the momentary break down though, when the songs JUMPS UP in it's FUURAAAAY! Thats when it really started to speak to me. Honestly, a really powerful, awesome segment.
I am quite impressed by the diversity of the song, you have a very large selection of sounds going off and on here.
Easily a 5/5 from me Nostrap, i'd like to invite you to check out my work sometime! Keep up the good fight!
thanks for the excellent review. ill check out your stuff for sure.
:D
That harpischord melody reminds me of Final Fantasy 8's Libus... something or other. The theme they had for that parade with teh evil sorcerress.
In any case, the beat itself is pretty damn solid, the brass stabs really did add quite a few layers of yes!
Of yes I say!
The percussional work was pretty solid too, it didn't alternate much, but for what was there, it was well done.
I don't have much else to say Zajed, it was a great track, well enjoyed ;). Keep up the good fight, and keep them coming!
omfg late response i totally forgot
ok i must say i copied the james bond theme lol
the stabs were realy hard work, so were the drums too
thanks for such a good review
again sorry for the late response
thanks i say
Sweet
This has an incredible melody, it is INCREDIBLY catchy, and has my head bobbin throughout!
My only problem is the equalizing. It was... well... quite lacking. Everything was way too loud in my opinion. I know the song is damn awesome at big volume levels, but there was a great deal of "mushing" because of this.
There wasn't much diversity to the piece, same melody again and again, with some changes in synth.
Still though, it was a very well crafted piece, incredibly catchy. Keep up the good fight! keep em coming! I'd like to invite you to check out some of my work sometime.
hey tnx for the review^^
glad ya enjoyed it.....
the thing is...i make songs with a pair of broken headfones and the sond cumz onli thru 1 ear....nd it sound nomal thru the headfones.....soo thats a problem i need to fix....but i listen to it thru the speakers after i uploaded it...soo yeh i need to fix that...d i didnt master it......coz i dont no how=|
yeh ill be sure to cek out ur gatz=]
Impressive!
This is one of the best piano/organ/harpischord pieces I have ever heard. Truly it's packing quite a wallop in terms of feeling and imagery.
Sanctuary eh? Such an evil sanctuary... I loves it >:}.
I'm sorry afliXion, I don't even know how to critique this, in my eyes this is perfect, I truly loved listening to it, easily a 5/5 from me. Keep up the good fight, and keep them coming!
Wow.
I like that you picked up on the feeling and imagery, that was what I was going for over counterpoint and harmony.
I wouldn't say it was an 'evil' sanctuary, more like an old gothic one with stained glass and organ music.
Perfect! Thats awesome. Thanks for the review.
Impressive
A neat battle theme that for sure, there is plenty of subtle energy in it, I felt the piece had potential to BLOW UP at any minute. You know, really blare out them horns, some frantic high notes with the strings.
I didn't get the blow up I was looking for, but honestly the piece itself holds plenty of story potential in of itself. I would have liked you to try a few more things with the brass, they didn't seem to move around that much, they held the song together, but more could have been done with them.
The flutes served the purpose well, it gave the feeling of fleet movement. The battle is one that requires great cunning and stealth.
I liked the percussional works here, made it sound medieval and tribal, and those are my favorite types of battles. The kind where real warriors would clash, and rip each other apart!
In any case the work itself is quite well done, I applaud your efforts, I hear quite a good deal of potential in you.
Keep them coming, and keep up the good fight! I'd like to invite you to check out some of my work sometime, I am a personal fan of battle music myself :D.

This has a very very amazing amount of energy in it, though I think this song is MUCH more better suited in the dance genre, as thats kind of what it makes me want to do.
I'm not actually GOING to dance, but the intention is there :D.
The glitched up voice served a rather interesting purpose, almost hypnotic in nature.
I didn't quite like how the song didn't move around too much. I mean I love the amount of energy you present in the piece, but it's just repeating kind of with a few added things on top, so that makes me think it's a kind of energetic trance piece.
In any case, everything was audible, so kudo's on your mastering/equalizing, well done.
The ending was too abrupt, I thought it would have faded out, kinda cut off.
In any case, excellent work! Keep em coming and keep up the good fight!
yea i needed to be more diverse lol, i was being lazy today haha but thx 4 ya review man
-DjEagle
Sweet!
You didn't win?!
Jesus... now I need to go find out who DID!
I love the amount of innocent energy that came from this piece. The only flaw I could see in it was that at times it felt a little "empty", when that guitar like sound comes in, all the empty space I was hearing was completely obliterated, it sounded good, collected and very juicy.
The melody itself was something I really liked. The percussional aspect was a tad strange, detrimentally so, I felt it kinda removed from the piece, but this is personal preference.
It's been a long while since I heard your stuff man, so nostalgic now, gotta go back to splice and check out the happenings. I'm not very good at arranging loops, but definitely it's improved a good deal since last I saw it.
In any case Rig, well made piece. Keep em coming and keep up the good fight! 5/5 from me!
Hello again! It HAS been a while, hasn't it? Thanks for the review, I was WONDERING when you'd be branching out into the techno scene. I wholeheartedly recommend arranging other people's loops for a while. It really opens your ears up to new methods and genres, ya know. The contest I entered was to remix loops on www.splicemusic.com from a guy named Airtone...he does AMAZING things with 909 drums and basic synths! So yeah, check that out, and have a good day!
