I've been a fan of yours for a while, Khuskan. This is my favorite song of yours yet! We have a fine fire department. The jazzy, repetitive chord pattern made the commentary that much funnier. If someone is careless. Keep up the good work.

Right from the beginning I liked your melodic hook, and I'll never be able to use dissonance quite the perfect way you do, it seems. Your "bridge" is very reminiscent of your other pieces - this song definitely had your trademark on it!
Beautifully-played, nicely-written. Thanks for another great work!

Wow, this was fantastic. Your instrumentation was so superior... the flutes and bells made an awesomely exotic-sounding lead, the bass part was well-written... just ... wow.
Great work!

Great work, my friend. Your drum beat sounded fantastic, and I liked the keys, too. This song was a real jam; I V vi IV is pretty rare to see improvised. You do a great job with these club-beats, jerrims. Keep it up!

Not sure what you mean by the roman numerals? Yeah I won't be making a new song for a while too since midterm week is coming for me. School first, soccer second, music third. Thanks once again for the review.

The sound you managed to get out of that choir was awesome, as were the drums. The horns were a little cheezy, but anyone can understand that - it's one of the most difficult sounds to simulate.
I loved the arpeggiating strings during the final quarter or so - your soft cymbals were tastefully placed as well. But DAMN boy... that choir. Great work.
I'm glad I took the time to check this out - please do keep it up!

Well I think too that the choirs are the best in this music. It was quite a lot time to manage them in this way but it was fun and I was satisfied with the end results.
I know the horn and brass sounds are not the best - I don't have good samples (yet) but I thought this music can't be complete without them.
Thanks for writing a review and I'm happy that you liked it.

Fantastic - FANTASTIC job with the sound. If you ever read this review, PLEASE drop me a line to tell me what program this is, will you?
Immediately my thoughts travel up to the flying elevator at the end of 'Charlie and the Chocolate factory.'
Clearly you know how to write an orchestral piece. I've noticed your systematic use of pairs of instruments in other songs - piano with bells, flutes and clarinets and whatnot. It's nice to hear work from someone who knows what they're doing. This piece was very emotionally charged.
Loved it; easily one of my favorites. Keep up the good work my friend.

This track kicks major ass. The percussion (was tha a hat?) was a little in my face; usually my speakers are bass-heavy, but I could have used more low-end here.
The organ made my elbows itch with groovy-ness. I loved it. Do it again.
Keep it real cheezy.

A very beautiful bunch of motifs, and a progression that reminds me how chords should be used in orchestral writing.
This song is a tad short (not that it affects my opinion of your writing style) - it could have been mastered and tweaked a bit, but there is no complaint to be made that isn't a form of nit-picking from me.
Great job, mate.

This was so well-arranged! Are you using garritan?! I really have to get garritan. I must go write a song about jealousy now.
Anyways, I haven't seen any of your stuff before; this is my first time, but you seem to have a knack for orchestral composition. I'd love to know what programs you're using...talk shop a bit.
And don't worry about this girl, my friend. We've all been there - keep your head up and keep making music!
I'm off to check out more of your stuff.

I have to agree with the other reviewer - your composition is very well done, but your sound quality is a bit midi-ish (the hat, in particular). In my opinion, it's the composition that's more difficult to get a handle on anyways, but even so; the same goes for your twinrova song. The song was very cleverly arranged (parallel fifths AHHHH), but it sounds kinda cheesy without effects and mastering.
Keep it up, crack-pot. I really enjoyed your stuff.
