I like the instruments you chose and the dark d'n'b elements, but I feel the song ends up going nowhere.

Did you press your program's random button? It sounds like it.
There's really no melody here, and the samples sound terrible (I know they're intentionally 8-bit).
I think you need a different program, or maybe some more time commitment in order to produce better music.
Author's Response:
I placed every note with every virtual instrument and it took me a few hours to do so and refine it.
No randomness whatsoever.
Yes, there is a melody, you just don't get it.
Chip music is an acquired taste... I guess...

I really appreciate how you made this song 7+ minutes, because not only can I listen to something uninterrupted so long, but your song is great! I love the layered pads, synths, and drums, and the sound they produce together. This is a great ambient easy listening track that I will enjoy for a long time to come.

"Honestly I didn't like it that much."
I heard nothing special in this song. There was a piano buildup, a lead synth, then a refrain with a heavy bass, the usual. I see a lot of people saying they are dancing in their seats and stuff like that, but I've heard more energetic trance songs before that are much more complex and interesting. Yes, the song sounds good, but the style itself is not unique, and so I've heard songs like this many times. I don't understand why this got first place, but I guess a lot of people like this type of music. For me, I prefer something more original and exciting.

I like how it sounds very relaxing. The progression is good throughout. And also, it sounded great in the game Ongaku.

It is pretty relaxing isn't it? Thanks for your comment!

I was glancing around the Industrial section, disappointed at the sub par songs on the top. Then I come to your song, knowing it will be 10 times better than the rest.
I've always liked this song and even included it in a game of mine. Great work!

I don't know about "Best," but I don't know what the hell else you would call it but "Industrial."

I liked this. It sounded great with the heavy bass and drums. The notes were good, except for one part with the almost- happy bass. The song had great transitions, and the pads were excellent. I like how they made the song spooky, with a slighty airy feel to it.
The beginning was excellent, setting the mood for the song perfectly.
I believe you could have included some extremely heavy drums at a few parts in the middle of the song, right after the leading- up instrument came in.
Overall very good. Not really the most enjoyable song to listen to, but it was made very well.
4/5
Feel free to check out my music

Wow, this song really shone! The instruments come together very nicely and form a very soothing and quiet melody that really stands out.
Like many others, I could picture a story/setting while hearing this song.
And just for curiosity's sake, what program did you use to compose this song?
5/5 Download! Feel free to check out my music.
Author's Response:
I used Fruity Loops to make these songs, but the sounds you're hearing have little to do with the program itself. If you'd like send me a pm and i'll tell you about VST's, the plug-ins I use to make these sounds.

Wow, you are a really great guitar player! You chose a great melody to play it to and your solo was amazing! You continue to surprise me with your music!
On a seperate note, recently I picked up a copy of flash and I am planning on using classic roots in it. However, can you do me a favor as to make a long fade from the 1:30 point to the 1:45 or so point. Thank you so much! My email is petwoip@yahoo.com if you don't know what I mean or if you are sending the edited copy.
5/5- and a download!
Author's Response:

Thanks btw!

I liked how this song was so smooth and relaxed, but it was way to short to be submitted. I feel you could have expanded a bit more on the song.
The drums were pretty good, but they never really changed throughout the song. The backround pad was very good, it set the mood for the song. The piano couldve used a little work, but it isn't bad. The notes could have been more diverse.
And I know this was a short song, so it would be hard to do everything I said.
All in all, this song would be very good to listen to to clear my mind- it was an enjoyable listen.
4/5- Feel free to check out my music.
And btw BeAtBrEaKeR127, sometimes one has to give their songs fives. You can see how low the rest of his songs are, and without those 5's they would be even lower.

Well thank you for all of the constructive feedback man! I truly do appreciate reviews like this! And about that, I don't vote 5's on my songs unless they get downrated a lot because i know my music isn't 0 material.... well not the newer stuff lol, the older stuff i dont care about man. But in regards to the song being short, I made this one pretty fast so your rating of 5 for the effort was very accurate! I honestly didn't feel that the beat needed changing though, it was just to bring the song together pretty much. And the piano I agree, could have definately used work lol. I thank you very much for your review, and I will definately listen in to some of your music!
