[Dream 001/ Let Myself Go]

really nice work man, great ear for melody and I love those gentle synth tones. is that your violin playing?

Katatatatataris responds:

Thank you!!! Yes it is my violin playing, probably my best yet actually

[[Tsets] - Skipping Rocks]

getting some real slick tycho vibes from this, great work.

TsetsukenMusic responds:

This may be the first time I have made a song that can resemble a style from someone really awesome such as Tycho. Thank you! I didnt see it before but you might have given me my first influence for further songs. I really enjoy music like this/Tycho.

[We Dream to Fly]

Drums are sick.
Production is near perfect.
Key changes every ten seconds are kinda distracting and make the song feel really fragmented like you've just spliced about fifteen songs into one.

The individual sections are stunningly beautiful, its just the way they have been stitched together takes a lot out of it.

Bosa responds:

Ha, this is quite an old song compared to my new stuff. Thank you for the review!

[Acoustica]

some really nice melodies going on here mate, and the vocal harmonies sound sick.
good production as always.. though thats barely even mentioning at this point :P

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Cheers mang! glad you dug!!

[The Common Bedroom]

I'm flattered that you liked my track seven circles, but you really should have asked before you completely ripped it off. or at least listed my as inspiration for the track. its a pretty irregular chord progression, this can't have been an accident.

SoulSecure responds:

Lol what? Mate, this song was inspired by lounge music in general, it's what I talked to you about in PMs. You inspired me on finding a rhodes/wurlitzer VST, because I hadn't taken the initiative to find one before. This is a very average progression and I have a couple of unfinished (trash) songs that sound annoyingly similar.

Anyway, just had a listen at seven circles and it is totally the same exact same friggan chords. I did not consciously 'rip you off', but our songs do sound different in the end.

[7 and Four]

can't beat 7/4 time it has so much more bounce than most other time sigs

Beartheshadows responds:

Agreed. I'm not too familiar with it, hence this song. I still love 4/4. It's so natural and 6/ has such a groove to it.

[Food & Drug (Demo)]

the chord progression here is great i particularly enjoy the phrasing of the chords
im feeling a pixies or a toadies vibe from this as well and thats always a good sign
i wouldn't say its poppy its just a little too upbeat to be straight grunge id say its leaning towards alternate rather than grunge, who cares what genre it is, its a good song either way
five starts for saying giggedy

Gunshy responds:

*thumbs up* Thanks!

[Bytestep]

i'v never heard of chipstep in my life and thought it would be awful to be honest
but this is brilliant, its really upbeat and bouncy, and i dont find it repeative at all
the tempo change at 2:00 minutes is pretty rough but tempo changes can be a a nightmare i know
and the drum and bassy part afterwards is well worth it
this is really impressive

conorstrejcek responds:

Thanks for the review!

I just heard about chipstep for the first time a couple weeks ago, so I'm glad you like my take on it. I'll try to work on my tempo changes more in the future, I did it pretty quickly so hopefully I'll improve for next time.

Thanks again!
