Yours is totally better coz its got a huge variety of sounds going on. respect!

djshadows responds:

Thanks a bunch I'm going to check yours right now :)

[Sailing a Ship Into The Sun]

no worries

you did great man so sit back relax and know that people love it.
Piano with drum and bass has always been a fave combo of mine!
by the way if you want great sounding samples just get reason 4. There are some great samples of orchestral stuff and well everything really.

Cebster responds:

haha thanks man. really is that what you use. yeah ill have to check it out. wow im just sitting here watching the score go up. it was 4.48 after you voted 4.62. i know its still early yet but im getting really excited. thanks so much for the support.

[sonic colours]

holy cows

You something going there. something really nice indeed. Thats incredible stuff mate. I can imagine this in a top selling rpg game, or perhaps amongst other classics in an album. Keep it coming!

[[ not another love song ]]

are you famous yet

I havent listened to acoustic ballads like this since i used to go to a pub weekly that had people sitting playing their own material. This reminds me of those times, sitting with a drink, everyone eyes and ears on the artist, no chit chat, just beautiful music. It was called Out of the Bedroom. Your music would fit the bill perfectly. Keep up the amazing work!

Kingbastard responds:

You're right, love that name too 'Out of the Bedroom':)

[[ F l e s h & B o n e ]]

Fresh, solemn and uplifting

Nice everything. too bad about the micophone hiss, but its really ignorable since the song cuts through it like a heros' sword.

I recommend you to anyone with the slightest admirable taste in music.

once again, great is the operative word for your music.

Kingbastard responds:

yeah, the hiss is a bitch, but I use very basic gear so there's not a lot I can do about it, plus I like a bit of noise on a recording:)
Thanks for the review, appreciate it.

[[ m a t u i t ]]

You'd go down a storm in venues.

just bring yourself and a guitar. This goes above 10. why cant I click above 10...
such a clean sound and a really subtle phasing on the vocal, VERY NICELY DONE!!!

Kingbastard responds:

THANKS:P

[[ lovesick ambulance ]]

Fantastic

Nice going. Really nice. is that you playing and singing, great stuff man great great stuff.

Kingbastard responds:

it is me, yeah, who else would it be:)!! Cheers for the comment.

[FFVI Terra's Theme]

havent heard this in ages.

this song made me cry once. I think its when the main character is having a psychological intervention whilst shredding loads of big enemies. Not played the game for years. I want to play it through again after listening to this. thanks for uploading!

[threaded together]

solid

Slight clipping in the mix toward the end. never mind that was amazingly and strangely oriental somehow, with RnB undertones. 500% for originality anyway. Nice going!

Saylek responds:

thanks for the review, the mix towards the end is on purpose, i made the track fade out while addin another few seconds of the beat. sounded gud to me back then, but yeah it does kinda sound like a mistake now that you mention it. thanks again! hope you comment on my next piece which should be out preety soon. i think i wrote to much, did i write to much? Yeah i wrote to much.
