I guess I'm just gonna sit here and review all your stuff, haha.

This loop has Stevie Wonder written all over it. Very original sound - I'd like to hear a full song from you, though.

Keep it up!

Jazzayyyy 8-)
I liked the chord pattern and the brush-snare thing you had going.

Very shmancy - keep it up, nig.

Score: 10

"Incredible"

I totally agree with all of the insightful comments Wintang just made. There's little left to be said about thie piece, but I might reiterate -

You are a highly, HIGHLY underappreciated artist here. Your music inspires me. All theory and music tech-talk aside, I thought you might like to know that.

Astonishing work - simple amazing. Feel free to drop me a line anytime.

Score: 9

"Again!"

submission: A Foresty Loop

This is so EXCELLENT! I totally understand that you weer going for a background feel, here. This is perfect movie music (I mean that as a compliment - movie music composers are sought after!)

You keep hitting the nail on the head - I've only listened to two of your songs, and you've quickly become one of my favorites. Would you do me a favor and listen to some of my songs? I haven't attempted much classical; I have a couple of preludes that are only about a few minutes long each, and a halloween piano score I have mixed feelings about. I would consider it a favor, but I would appreciate a few pointers.

I'm seriously going to sit here and listen to every song you've made. I may not review them all, but you've certainly sparked my interest.

Please do keep up the good work.

Score: 10

"Wow."

submission: Dance in F# minor

Each one of those 10's is legitimate. If you wrote this song, you are indeed very clever.

I loved the tricks you pulled with the beat emphasis. This song had an seriously defined sense of direction, and you didn't fail to make it dramatic. This is VERY well written - are you using a species of counterpoint or something?

Loved it. Keep up the good work; I hope I can write this well someday.

Score: 9

"Excellent!"

Hey, the sound quality might not be fantastic, but you did this song pretty perfectly. I haven't played the game since I was about 10, and every note of it comes back with your song.

Fascinating choice of video game songs here - it's why I gave you a relatively high originality score for a cover.
I really like your selection here, but it should be said that your technique needs a little work. I might suggest in this song that you don't hold the lower notes in each measure for so long - this will eliminate dissonance with their strong overtones as you move through measure to measure.

I respect your good ear and composition more than I respect technique, anyways. Keep up the good work!

Score: 9

"You know..."

"Not getting the respect you deserve"? I really liked the song, but it's nothing to take yourself too seriously about, man. It's just a dance beat with a lot of energy - being popular with the Newgrounds demographic doesn't necessarily demend any respect, and if they don't like you, fuck 'em(/us)! And in the end, it's not like any of us are good enough musically to demand real-world respect with our songs - that would just be flattering ourselves.

Like I said, I really enjoyed the song. Your lyrical phrases were great - the intro phrase was very melodic and catchy and the second one got you into the dance beat rhythm. Very clever.

And it was very clever the way you integrated the reggae sound with the eurobeat sound in the intro.

Kudos, and keep up the good work, mate!

Score: 8

"Cute"

submission: Houki Boshi - RMX

date: October 31, 2006

This song was very clever. Your sound quality was ... a bit terrible. But frankly, that's okay, because you actually had (gasp) a melody! The rhythm to it was fiendishly catchy. Very Japanese-sounding.

That's it. Very Japanese-sounding. I'm asian, so I get to say things like this.

Keep it up! :-)

Score: 9

"Insaaane!"

submission: Epic Tetris Remix - GloStix

date: October 31, 2006

This cover is fantastic!

The hyperactive drums were very well-chosen. The subtle dance kick complemented the bass well in the first half, and I loved that you wrote your own parts and insterted them into the song. Since it's a song everyone's heard before, it does tend to get dry, otherwise.

That little piano part in the middle would sound great with some reverb and a velocity envelope behind it.

Very underrated song. Keep up the good work.

Score: 9

"Sexy"

Finally, someone who does metal correctly. I haven't checked out the arrogant guy who reviewed before me, but you're definitely a favorite of mine. Your minor third harmonics were great, and the crunchy overdriven rhythm strings weren't as cheesy as most people somehow get theirs to be.

Rock on, nig. I'd love to see you do a cover or two.
