Nice

Finally I don't feel alone... I like this song... it's one of my favorites too. I like this mix. ANyways the intro was way too long with the drums... I really don't have much to say about this really... besides that it's good and coming from one SOM remixer to another you should check out my remixes. :D

[Dystopia - Mataro]

ummm...

I don't like the percussion... It's way to harsh, and doesn't work well with your soothing piano and strings... The piano is also way to repeated. The second motion about 1:30 in to the song was cool, would like it to be longer, and back to the drms... Overall, needs work... 7/10. Ambient music is a hard genre to understand and get a feel for, so understand that a 7/10 isn't a bad score... Please continue with your music.

Mataro responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review, amigo. I've always been one to favor contrast. I have, at times, produced purely soft music, or purely hard music, but nearly always I like contrast. Either at the same time, or in alternating sequences. Sometimes that means intense parts followed by a mellow interlude, or mellow parts broken up by intense breaks. This is one of the best examples of mine I feel for a song that has many shifting elements tugging a different direction, but still remains coherent.

The drums are in stark contrast to the somewhat melancholic piano. As if the pianist is unenthused and is just plonking keys back and forth. The guitar joins in with a simple, mellow rhythm. The drums follow the same mellow rhythm, but are the agitated one in the mix. They all pick up a little together, and then the simple mix goes from being a few simple instruments in a room to an entire army of sounds filling a cathedral. Then it drops to something softer than either the piano or the guitar while the drums carry on. The entire piece is marked by these shifts.

I wouldn't say I'm an amazing musician. But I'm proud of this one, and I think I have reason to be. That said, I agree with you. "Ambient" is a hard genre to nail down. To me, music should tell a story. "Ambient" music doesn't tell a story, it merely to YOUR story. Thus, ambient music can rear a lot of different heads, some of them ugly. It depends on what your story is, and what atmosphere fits it. One could deduce a lot about my story at the time of writing, but that's beside the point.. Seems I've become a bit tangential here. :P

Anyway. Thanks a ton for the review. Glad to hear you enjoyed it some anyway. :D

[VisionsOfBlue (Ferry C. Remix)]

I love the piano...

It can be used in any genre. As for this song, it compliments well... Very Soothing... The percussion in my mind wasn't really needed... but it works... Overall it was a good song, very long song, and alot of it is repetetivity. Don't get me wrong, I like this song, but try to shorten the length of your motions in here, We don't want to hear the same thing over and over. 3/5, 7/10. This has a sense of ambience, mixing mechanical with freeminded... It works well together... Repetevity dropped you score.

Blizzaine responds:

Whos "we"? NG/Audio has been about receptivity since 05 ^^

[TL - Carol of the Bells]

Interesting...

It's cool.... I must admit... This contest is sure to have amazing results. I love this... though it is slightly repetetive... I would have to say you have a good idea what people want to hear. congrats.

TeHLoY responds:

Thanks! Nice for you to drop by to review this...

[Dream Glider (ACINO)]

This is pretty nice.

Very pretty for a dance song... but yet it has that pop. Please don't repeat the synth so much, try to do something else as well, stay away from repetition unless your going for a trance, in which teh melody is heard almost all the time over and over. Overall this was well done. 10/10

[Tricity (ACINO)]

Indeed.

Listen to the reviewer below... It is very upbeat... and happy. A little repetetive, and the piano is nice... IDK... I don't have much to say about this, although it does deserve a higher rating then what it has. 10/10

[Fading Times (ACINO)]

Interesting...

This is cool!!!!! I do agree with the review below... the arpegio needs to be a little off or the piano needs to be a little off, because it is indeed very stagnant. Other than that this does leave me rather speechless. 10/10 because I am nice. :D

ACINO responds:

Thank you man:D! I'll keep that on my mind;)
