[Dire Dire Docks [Ocarina]]

Beautiful

The start seemed a bit shaky at first, but it was great way to actually start this song. Overall I truly believe this song was meant for the ocarina and you gave it great justice. Bravo.

Ocarina-Kid responds:

I wasn't too sure about the start or the whole piece actually, but once again you save the day ;) Thanks man, appreciate the review.

[Light Orchestral Loop]

The Interviewer Theme

A beautiful and calming song. Loops quite well and isn't really entirely repetitive. It just works so well for if you're reading something enlightening. Kudos to you good sir.

sorohanro responds:

Thanks :)
Glad to be appreciated :)

[Rag-Tag World]

Jam Session is a Go!

Quite nice, I think the rock guitar was a bit over excessive with this, I wouldn't mind hearing this with acoustic guitar, piano, and bass actually. Other than that it is a wonderful and catchy melody it just seems like it would suit better with softer instruments in mind. Still great for the ears.

gamejunkie responds:

Thank you very much. Hadn't thought about doing an acoustic version of this to be honest, but since you suggested it, will give it a go a see what it sounds like. If it's good, I might submit it. Thanks for that. Glad you liked it. Thanks for the great review.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[Soft and Sweet]

Very Nice

Quite mellow. Very soft and sweet. However you label this as a loop when it isn't really a loop. Overall I like what you brought here in terms of melody. Excellent work.

John5454 responds:

Thanks for the review. Glad to know you like it and it was soft enough. I'm not a fan of soft songs, but I did because I was bored, and because of my song. I wanted to hear what it sounded like soft, without all the major guitar rifts and whatnot. Thanks again. John

[Sweepin]

Nice and Simple

I liked it. It was short sweet and to the point, it doesn't exactly loop, but through editing magic that can be fixed. Overall I can picture this being used for some tutorial or instructions or even in just a basic run of the mill town or villa. Awesome job.

mrmcduts responds:

yeah i think for some reason the first step was taken out :(

[Pure of Heart]

So The Story Ends

As a wise man said, all good stories must come to end. The song and the story you have put with it are both beautiful. However I am here to judge this song. I have written stories for each song of your "Farmland" series and sadly I cannot bring myself to write one here. I can't really describe why I enjoy this song, but at the same time I want to so badly. To lose everything and still have someone there for you... it must be a wonderful feeling.

Bosa responds:

Well said, my friend. It's not important to focus on the treasures of this earth, where moth and dust corrupts.

[Movement-- Scott D. Hall]

Pretty Cool

I love it. It sounds like a song I would probably hear the game "Dungeon Explorer" or "Ys Book I & II" in which had fantastic music. I just see the epic quest of valiant heroes through a perilous dungeon or field of common that which by night terror strides through it.

Overall I loved the song, the beginning kind of worried me a little bit, but it just ending up being very smooth and quaint while being a strong song as well.

ScottDHall responds:

Hey thanks!

I can definetly see what you see---both the strange start of the music itself, and the epic feel of adventure throughout.

[Wizard Beard]

The Jesus Rises when Hank Falls

Yes this makes for the perfect theme for Jesus in the Madness series. I can just see him fighitng off Hank and commanding his legion of followers to destory this perpetual one man army sent from the depths of hell. Another wonderful heavy metal piece by you that certainly brings that Madness vibe to the table. Excellent work.

HighBallers responds:

Thank you Brah

[MD10: Madness: Determination]

Epic in a Can

I can't think of no other way to describe it. I can just see Hank plowing through enemy after enemy and even knocking down the Clown. However the fight against Jesus will not be easy and it will not be one that he can overcome easily. The song got a bit repetitive here and there, but overall it is a fantastic heavy metal song with that Madness vibe wrapped up into it. Oh yeah and it loops perfectly.

MtZion responds:

Thanks for the review!
Wow i think this is the most positive review i have. thanks alot! and glad you liked it!
I think the perfect loops results to the end not having any reverb. I think that's what you hear being cut off every time you hear a non-perfect loop.
But seriously thanks alot for the review. this is the kind of stuff that keeps me making music. :D

[MD10: Madness Acceleration]

Pretty Damn Good

It is a bit repetitive at the beginning, but after that it all comes together quite nicely. It doesn't exactly loop well, but it's still not a bad little loop. You did good.

MtZion responds:

Thanks for the review!
yeah the looping thing didn't quite work out. Garageband09 doesn't have a wrap remainder option like FL, so i couldn't really make it work out. i'll try harder in the future to try and create a wrap remainder solution in Garageband09.
Glad you liked it. :)
