"School bus of the future?"

submission: the commute

date: March 1, 2009

What was that sample at 1:20? Space Nine, is that what it's saying? I think that was my favorite part of the song. Made me think of a talking LCD billboard ad in the Times Square of the future or something. Maybe more samples would make it more interesting? It flows pretty well...reminds me of an 80s era prediction of what the future would be like, heh. Only thing is it ended pretty abruptly, what with that jarring electronic sound. It seems like it would be perfect as a loop. It is a tad repetitive, but for this style of music, sometimes that is neccessary or even the effect that the artist is trying to achieve. Honestly though, I enjoyed it.

Score: 8

"Excellent work."

submission: Jungle ambient noises

date: March 1, 2009

Yes, your track loops rather seemlessly. Can't even tell when it ends and where it begins without looking. Hard to believe it's only 45 secs long. I liked most of the sounds up until the end, where I heard something that resembled tapping on a mic or footsteps or something. Reminded me much more of walking in a cave...too much echo maybe? The rest is phenomenal.

Score: 9

"A must have for zombie enthusiasts"

submission: PublicServiceAnnouncementZ

date: February 28, 2009

It's a good thinking song and was a surprisingly fun listen in the car. You seem to have found a good balance between the music and the voice samples. I can hear both very distinctly without one overshadowing the other. Would complement a zombie themed flash very well.

Score: 7

"A little more russian, a little less techno."

submission: Russian Rush [Tetris Remix]

date: February 28, 2009

Definately wouldn't of used piano. Some sort of Russian folk instrument would've made more sense...but I can see that being difficult to obtain heh. I liked the steadily increasing tempo, but the sudden inclusion of a dance beat threw me off a bit. Killed the Russian folk-song vibe I was getting. You should probably build up to it more. It's an excellent idea though, and who knows, maybe something as simple as changing a few instruments around could make it a masterpiece.

Score: 8

"A great jungle ambience."

submission: ambient noises

date: February 28, 2009

Strange animal noises, water dripping, waves, and I'm hearing some sort of low rumbling as well. Anything I missed? (These are one inch laptop speakers d'oh!) It's actually surprisingly relaxing. Reminds of Amazon trail a bit. Can't quite pinpoint a location in my mind though. Maybe some sort of jungle cave? It's a little specific I'd say...but then I suppose that's important in an ambient piece. The loop works fairly well, and gives an illusion of depth, eliminating the need to repeat sounds such as the animal calls in the beginning due to it repeating every minute anyway. Actually I'm glad you went for a realistic approach. Most people get bored and use wacked out sounds in their's to create tension. Totally kills the realism. Let me know if you decide to make a forest at night. Have yet to find a good one.
