[Inspiration (Piano)]

Do Not Delete

Do not delete any of your songs. There are many reasons why people down-rate your songs and I'm sure Audio Artists who have had their's lowered will tell you. This certainly is inspirational and I loved listening to every bit of it.

Do not delete this or any other song... do not rob the world of this gift bestowed upon you. I can only say I wish to hear more from you in the near future.

Zero123Music responds:

I'm really sorry...

I was in a bad mood with my brother and, well I got deleting.

But this review stopped me when I saw.

Thanks alot and i'm glad you enjoyed :D

[In The Hotel]

I Think It's Fine

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.

wouldn't be the first time my music was used for a porn game (check my other songs LOL)

[**Moments of Inspiration**]

Fellow Man in Times of Need

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

KTRECORDS responds:

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

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...

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

Manhart responds:

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.

[Piano in the Rain (Studio)]

Very Nice...

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.

AlexSandford responds:

Thanks for the praise!

[Walking With You Forever]

Very Superb...

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.

garyevor responds:

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.

[AlxEllis - Get Up And Dance]

A bit repetitive....

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.

AlxEllis responds:

Thanks for the review

[_-={When Madness Descends}=-_]

Greatness As Always

A fight between two warriors. One who plans to revive the world as a new world, and the other who plans to save us all. The battle is at large, and others around the world are taking sides. The flames of destiny are upon us, as the wind takes hold of the skies, the waters clash against each other, and the earth rumbles filling no terror or fear within anyone battling upon the field, we call Planet Earth. A battle so fierce... you'd think it were a war, when the war is happening between the two choosing sides. The greater good overcomes the dark one and sends him to his doom, but spares his life.

"The world is run on power, not violence. Take away the power, and you leave and empty shell."
- The-Great-One (2008)

A magnificent piece if I must say and in Classical Rock I certainly am surprised. However I felt it was a bit too short, but as you described, the PC limitations. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it.

Sincerely,
The-Great-One

MaestroRage responds:

hey TGO! Thank you for the story first off!

I enjoyed the description of such epic proportions, however your quote though valid, I must disagree with you.

I don't disagree in the sense that power and violence are different, and that the world is in fact not run purely off it, but power is earned through the prospect of violence.

But only if the definition of violence is expanded to suit a general purpose. Economical violence, spiritual violence, environmental violence. All these factors combined, these qualities together form power. For a nation or man whom holds no potential for these violences is deemed without power.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it! Once again, thank you for the story! Well written and enjoyable!

It's Balanced

It has a nice balance of Trance and techno... but what I really love is how it loops perfectly! Right when it ended to start over it's like the song never even stopped. That is what I found truly awesome... I don't know if that was intentional or not, but it was nicely done. I found at some points in the song that I was getting quite sleepy, to where the song was boring me a bit, but then it would reach a point of waking me up. Outstanding job I must say... keep up the good work.

xKore responds:

The looping wasn't intentional 0.0 I only just found out now xD

Anyways, I can see where your coming from with that, I will improve :D
