It kinda reminds me of trans-siberian orchestra a little bit...very neat though. It must have taken a while to orchestrate. good job

I think this track is wonderful. It's very chilled out. You took a little and made a lot with it. I wish I could sit down with you and pick your brain for a little while because I would love to be at your level. How long have you been making music?

I absolutely love what you've done with this track! I was instantly mesmerized. Especially with the use of strings. Are you using a VST for the strings or were they recorded live because they sound amazing....if you used a VST let me know which one. Anyways, the beat you used definitely made my head bob. lol. The only complaint I really have is that the bass/kick is way to distorted for my taste. I think it would sound really nice if it was cleaner but that's just me. Great work man. Check out some of my crap sometime...

hell yeah! this is good stuff. very upbeat. I can relate to the happy sounding music...just listen to "I'm Alive" or "Born Again" of mine and you'd know! haha. I could actually visualize dancing to this at a club or something. keep up the good work.

This is one of the better ambiance tracks i've heard in a while..you could use it on one of those meditation cd's or something..haha. I have nothing bad to say about it! It's very minimalistic but it has such a profound effect. Great stuff! 10!

That's ok that it's short, that you're reviewing my songs is great. This is definitely one of my better songs. =)
Too bad I can't return the review...:'( Maybe I could review an older song of yours I haven't yet? Either way, thanks for the review. (And the 10! =D)

I really like the tone of this track. The harmonies are very pleasing to the ear and wow...how about that piano! One thing I must suggest is getting a new string VST because the one that you used is really cheap sounding. I think if you had more realistic sounding strings it could add so much to this track. I also didn't get that trancy feeling but it's great anyway. Nice work on this. I hope 8 is okay..

Hey, Swift-Reason! Yeah, this was one of my better songs at the time, though I've improved since then. =) A little bit of ego never hurts from time to time, so I'll agree that the piano was an especially nice burst of genius. =P
Yeah, those strings that came with FL are really annoying... but they're the ones that worked the best at the time. Hopefully, I'll get better ones before I have to use them again. >_<
I was going for my "own" sort or style of trance... yeah, it's not very similar to the commercial trance you hear ofen.
Hmm, a 6 for diversity? I can see your logic, but that's a bit low... =( The feeling I was trying to get across in this song was the "again??" feeling, every time I changed something, i.e. expanding on piano, the melody, the drums, etc. There are three sections to this song, in my opinion... from the beginning to the end of the part before the second piano pattern, from there until the end of the part before the second set of drums, and from there until the end. ;) And there's a change, subtle or obvious, in each section. My guess is the song might have dragged on, as I can imagine this song being half its length. But this is a story I'm depicting, and it's NOT 2 minutes long! XD
Hey, Swift-Reason - NEVER be uncertain about your ratings. If you think I deserve an 8, then I deserve one! It's always up to the reviewer. ;)
Thanks for the review, Swift-Reason! =D

I really really enjoyed this track. It's very dark and nasty and ambient and awesome. While the other reviews are correct on lack of a definite melody, I think that the song is good as is. It has a real fullness to it and it sounds great. I also liked the intro because it is misleading...you think it's going to get right into it after the buildup but it comes back down a little first. Very nice touch.
~Check out my stuff when you get a chance. If you like it then tell other people too. I'll sure tell everyone about you.
Author's Response:
Yeah... it definitely is one of my darker, better songs. =) A review for Nova would have been much more appreciated, but I'm never ungrateful to a reviewer. =P Thanks, it means a lot.
Unfortunately, I might not get the chance to check your stuff out for a while... go ahead and send me a PM as a reminder if it's been a couple of days. ;)

ok..i love this piece for the simple fact that you based it on the cello. since ive been playing cello for 15 years it nice to hear something like this. i'm not to sure about that pan flute that you threw in there but hey, music can be whatever you want it to be.
Check out some of my music if you get a chance.
Author's Response:
Thanks. I've always loved the dark tambour of the cello. I just added the flute for movement but you're right it’s a little out of place.

I really liked this track. It kind of had a old school freestyle feel to it which brang me back a little bit. Very very nice work though. It's a very well put together track.
Check out some of my stuff and tell me what you think. I just put together a brand new track that i'm gonna be posting very soon.
