"Calm, Chill, Epic Maybe?"

submission: Safe
date: October 12, 2008

I must say this is one piece that truly has blown me away. I haven't heard an Ambient song this good in a while. Every instrument had it's own meaning, not a bit of it was meant as filler. You have done a superb job on this from beginning to end. Bravo good sir.

"Nice and All"

submission: Possible
date: September 26, 2008

You really could've done better though. I understand you like to lay down a "base track" first and then see where that goes, but figure it out without uploading it to the Newgrounds Audio Portal. If it doesn't look like a song in your mind then it won't be a song on Newgrounds. The opening was boring and it wasn't pleasing to the ears. The solo does sound nice on this one, but that's all that can be said honestly.

thx for the review and ill admit i couldve done better on the intro. it was sloppy and not all the song fits together. with that said, one of the reasons im uploading on ng is so if i'm somewhere with my guitar for example my friends house and we want to mess around with some beats or record or w/e i can pull out some of the stuff i've recorded on here and make it better. (im working on getting gear box installed but my computer is a peice of shit and restarts whenever i run it)

"A Story Before My Eyes"

submission: Main Titles
date: September 26, 2008

Desperation

These trying times upon. Darkness sits upon the throne of a kingdom founded on good moral. Now it is a place filled with hatred, greed, and death for good company. It is not a place for happiness... at least not anymore. However one can pull this kingdom from the ashes set by the darker half.

Main Theme

I met with him today. He knows what he must bear, but he does not wish to bear it. His triumph is that of a simple man... yet the rest of us see it as nothing more than victory and revival of what was once a proud kingdom.

Planning a Revolution

After time by the ocean and the moon he agrees to our noble cause, but wishes no glory, unfortunately that is how it must be, but glory through honor and not through fame... today we plan a war that will change the world we once knew forever. A gentleman of villa will be a soldier today. We shall march onward with the new king.

The Graveyard

Although the darker half and the half of light waged war. We all remember a day of goodness. Evil took over him and his light betrayed him. Now all we know of is the magnificent reign and a terrible end that we all will forever be known of celebrating.

= = = = = = = = = = =
Sorry for writing that long story, but the way you described the places I just saw everything before my very eyes. I must say this was a very good symphony, and overall main theme for a movie from beginning to end... however there is no end really no epilogue to follow the final chapter to this tale. If I must ask is there a continution to this song? And if there isn't do you plan on making one. I quite enjoyed this myself and wish for you to make more.

Author's Response:

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Since this is going to be a feature film there's definitely a continuation of it. These 3 suite parts contain all the melodies and themes that will be used for the final score which will probably be as long as 45 minutes. It's just a little far off in the future because the development is still at the beginning.

Great review, highly appreciated!

In The Hotel

"I Think It's Fine"

submission: In The Hotel
date: August 28, 2008

You really shouldn't add on to this, it makes for a great hotel theme. Please don't be offended by this, but it would make a great theme for a Hotel Hentai game. You did an excellent job on this... keep up the good work.

**Moments of Inspiration**

"Fellow Man in Times of Need"

date: August 22, 2008

Three whose lives have been changed since yesterday. The letter that arrived in the mail. Sending off for war... to fight for your country. A man of age 26 packs his things, his girlfriend is pregnant, he leaves with tears down his face... better cry on the journey then cry at the arrival. A man of 31 gets his letter, he packs his things and ventures out ready to go... he's a happy go lucky guy with a good business and a good life, no wife, no children, just his money and his comedy, but he's really nothing more than a man with pretending to smile. A man of 45, is ready for his second trip. His son has died in the war already and he ventures towards battle with a purpose... revenge, however his wife does not wish for him to go, she has lost one already and can't lose another. These three will meet upon the field of battle and thus will have their own stories to tell and their own lives to share, but the question is, will their true selves be revealed before others?

Well I must say this was quite a good song, and I hope my story has entertained you. I just have one question... what game were you playing when you came up with the inspiration for this song. Also do you plan on writing a sequel to this song, that way I can continue this story.

Your song was really good, superb even and I can't wait to hear more from you.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

I actually can't remember the game I was playing when I thought up the idea for the song. It wasn't actually the game that inspired me though. I remember I was thinking of the chord progression in Josh's song "War's Little Secret" ( http://www.n ewgrounds.com/audio/listen/96227 ) , and then all of a sudden this idea popped in my head. After a few hours, I had the basis for this song.

Maybe it was Final Fantasy Tactics I was playin... oh well, lol. Thx for the story! It was awesome!

Also.. if you want to write an end to your story.. try listenin to my other solo song "What Have I Done?"

(WF1)/Tell Astral Feelings

"Majestic"

date: August 22, 2008

I have no idea where this fits in except as a trailer theme for a movie. A romantic scene from the start, then we shift to the scenes of battle. A fight for our friends, but this is certainly not medieval in any way. The streets... the REAL streets, where people will actually kill one another with knives and guns instead of the bullshit "gangsta thug" shit. Tonight lovers will slay those who stand in thier way. Although it is said that this is a cruel fate not only for the victims, but for those who commit the crime, it's a love story... who is to say that it isn't... Bonnie and Clyde did the same thing.

Sorry for that little tale above, but this song just put that story in my head for some reason, I can't explain why, but it just did. Your song loops perfectly... you probably didn't notice that and it is quite beautiful. I hope to hear more greatness from you soon.

.Gladness Piano ver.

"Jamming..."

date: August 12, 2008

You are defitinitely jamming here. Although it seems a bit repetitive, I think that is what gives it it's interesting flare. I enjoyed this piece rather much, I mean I haven't heard the original Gladness, but I must say I'm really liking this one with the Piano. I want to see more piano works from you.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

Author's Response:

Thanks a lot for the review.
It is indeed very repitive because of the same 4 chords all the the through.
But I felt that the melodies, and the shortness of the song made up for it somehow :P
The "original" is one I posted some days ago with a Slayer Guitar in it. People complained about it, so I wanted to try a version without it. You should check it out for comparison :)
Thanks again.

This song is great. You've got an outstanding voice and this song has given me more inspiration for our novel Carpe Diem. I can't wait to see more from you. You're doing an outstanding job.

"Very Superb..."

date: July 29, 2008

I was sitting here listening to this song thinking to give you an 8... I thought it was quite boring, then it started to build up and so I decided to keep listening some more and it was missing something... but you brought that in at 1:55. I must say you have done a superb job with this audio.

Magnificent... keep up the good work.

thank you for your expressions and vote. Thanks too for listening all the way through sometimes we save the best for last and if we don't listen all the way we miss it. I always felt that a song should build as it goes on. Thanks again.

DJ Alx - Get Up And Dance

"A bit repetitive...."

date: July 27, 2008

That's the only complaint I can make about this song, plus the voice brought in just threw the song way out of place and it didn't really have a nice bounce in it. It loops perfectly however. Good job.
