[Eulogy]

This makes me think of those kinds of scenes where there is pale yellow lighting coming through a window and the camera pans across the face of someone thinking about his past; kinda like you seem to mention in the song’s description. As one who is more into instrumental music, I really like the melody. :) However, there were some parts where the pitch being sung and the accompanying melody don’t seem to blend as well, at least that’s what it sounds like to me. (for example at 2:40-ish) Not a big deal, but I wanted to mention it. ^_^;

IndustryStandard responds:

I don't mean to sound cocky or anything, but yeah I absolutely love the instrumentals in this song haha. I had actually written the lyrics and the music completely separate originally, but I felt like the song fit the mood for the lyrics so i tried to combine them. Not sure if i like the results or not but they're what i could do at the time.
I'm pretty new to adding vocals to my music so there's a good possibility that something might be a bit off. That point at 2:40 I was kind of going for a bit of dissonance though, since it's a bitter line that I'm singing right there, but there are a lot of things I'd like to change about the vocals on that song someday.

If you're interested, I have another version of this song called The Procession; It's what i originally wrote before i altered it to match the lyrics in this song. It's basically a shorter, simpler version of this. Just thought I'd mention it.

[Transformation - WIP]

Cue the epic trailer music! lol I really like how the melody goes from blended together to dynamic with the heavy drum beats rhythmically popping in. That ending is sweet as well. :) This song in general has that classic "superhero movie" vibe in my opinion. I like it! ^_^

[Toybox Groove (v2)]

This is a very interesting mix...I don't know what it is. The combination of the soft melody with the beat that seems to pause really quick every so often combines into a sound I haven't heard very often before. I like it :) It's like the melody and the beat are doing their own thing, but it still works!

[TriumphOverAll]

Digging this beat! :) I really like that echo-y metalic sound that pops in every so often as well. You've also confirmed what I heard about fl studio not letting you save your work and come back later. O_O Props to you for putting this together in one sitting! ;)

xxUltimaWeapon responds:

I'm really glad you like it! If I wasn't so cheap I would buy the program, thus allowing me to save projects and come back to them. XD Thanks for the feedback, it's always good to hear when someone enjoys the work. If you really like this style, click that favorite button so you can hear the stuff I write in the future, because this is the style i'm trying to really develop. =P

[Longing]

This sounds very interesting. I'm also wondering - if you mean it to be this way then ignore me - why the beat sounds are so piercing compared to the rest of the sounds? I'm just curious because I'm hearing this weird thing when I try to turn the song up higher to hear the other parts of the song a little better, the beat gets too loud. D: It still sounds really cool, but I just wanted to mention that. ^_^

[Logical Misfits (NG CUT)]

Love this beat! It sound really cool, especially if this is your first real crack at it. :)

[Penumbra of the Knight]

Cue the epic choir and drums of death! D: lol yeah this totally has a skyrim feel to it. Also, i don't know how to explain it, but I like how the choir is a little...lighter? With more short, shouting vocals rather than having constant heavy vocals. It gives the song an interesting feel, light yet still epic. :)

HeAvEn-SmiLE responds:

Ha ha,actually that is because this library I'm using does have realease problems! :p

Thanks for the review! :)

[Space Station]

...well...this isn't unsettling at all. >_> lol this totally nails the space station feel (and a spooky one at that) in my opinion, I like it! ;)

[Loneliness]

Love it. ^_^ It's a very nice tune.

[RR Unlimited (Sndtrk 02)]

This song is awesome! There's so much going on that it's a blast to listen to. ^_^ And this is unfinished? :O Wow, I wonder what the finished version will sound like. :)
