[~TkTx~The Long Road]

Very pleasing to listen to... to a point!

Up to 1 minute is great. I love the beat and bass. I didn't like the whirly sounds that come in very much, until 1:28 when the robotic lead comes in. Not a fan of the samples either (just personal preference). From 2:10 to 2:27, it sounds a little claustrophobic. You might want to consider doing something different, like maybe only have the bass and the echoey string/synth part going, before leading back into the rest of the song. Overall, it is a pretty interesting song. It has a very catchy beat and I really like the robot leads! Its pretty funky, dark, cold, and dancy, all at the same time!

[High Dive Pt. 2]

This is sick!

I'll have to listen to High Drive Pt. 1! I don't know what this is, but I like it a lot! Love your beats!

Techtonicks responds:

glad to hear it! always happy to know someone likes my music :D

[Reduce Order]

Gain chaos!

Really nice! Damn near perfect! My only real criticism is not with your composing, but with the voice you chose for the drums... It's a little cheesy for such a great melody and break down! I love this!

[SoG - Imitation of Life]

It sounds good for the first 40 seconds...

Then nothing progresses beyond that... It just fades to a quieter version of the same thing, then gets louder again and another violin jumps in, and it ends the same as the beginning. I would suggest starting over after about 40 seconds, and writing some new different parts. What you have sounds pretty good, it is just solid repetition. You might want to practice and experiment a little more to develop the sound you have here. I like the piano, violin, and bass set-up though. Cheers!

SniperofGoth7 responds:

Uh, it's a bit hard for me to bond two different parts together, so I just make "variations" of the main part using other instruments... but I'll try to develop it, as you suggested. Thanks for the review!

[Osiris]

The melody is very simple...

You might want to put more work into changing the melody a little bit. You have the drum section covered well, though!

[CY2V9]

Sickest industrial/darkwave track...

I've heard this year! Cheers!

[NorthStar (TimmyDope)]

This beat is sick!

Excellent song from a compositional stand point. I'm not terribly fond of the vocal samples, though. Just a personal preference. It might sound better instrumental, with a lead synth where the sample are. Still a powerful track! Cheers!

[3xOsc project]

I really like this!

Trance is not typically a genre I would associate myself with, but you definitely have talent. The only part that made me shutter a little was at 2:18 - 2:20. Those high notes in that voice sound pretty weird... You might want to consider changing that a little bit. Great jam, though!

[Faithless But Still Kickin' it]

The bass lines are sick...

This song sounds like it was organized and composed pretty well, but the filler from 2:00 - 2:35 comes off as rushed and thrown together (in my opinion). Other than that, liking the horns and guitar. Pretty damn funky!

ClusterLaw responds:

Thanks alot for your opinions! You are of course totally right about the part 2.00 - 2.35. It's the point where I felt like I needed something different and created it out of need instead of emotion. Often when I do that it doesn't come of as well. But in my own opinion I think a good song doesn't have to be great all the way through and on the contrary a bad part lifts up the rest in contrast. Maybe it was that part that made you comment? And then my work is done ;)

All the best!

[Krupinkin - Telectro! (DEMO)]

Hell yeah, man!

Song sounds great! Progresses very nicely. The only thing I'm not completely sold on is how you handled the space without a beat and the build up (1:00-1:30), but it works. Just a difference in preference. Definitely sounds very professional and is a hot track! Cheers!

Krupinkin responds:

Thnx! Yeah I can not say that I am very professional in uplifting effects... still working on that. It is some kind of a bonus from my DJ past. Switching track to track cool and aggressivly.
