[Moth To Light]

Dark n' dirty. I love all the different sounds and elements popping out here and there throughout your neat lil' track.

[[WIP] Psychopath Bunny]

I'm not one for rap, but all I can say is this pretty much has potential for an MV.

Free2Play responds:

Lol well thank you, I'm actually not a fan of rap either lol. It was only recently someone showed me real hip hop like Nujabes and I started taking a lot of influence.

[SmK - Unstoppable]

Absolutely refreshing.

[Origin (DJ M4C Remix)]

I love the choices of the instruments used, as compared to the original version, which entailed softer less "bright" one. You gave it an awesome trance feel and made the melody more distinct. Awesome.

[SapphireNine - Looking Up]

... Amazing. Listening to this, I just feel like I'm in a dream.

The bass, that synth-thingy in the background, from 0:18-0:59 and 3:00 to the end, gave a really subtle energy to the song, and in me.
Like, every note would invoke an energy, while the instrument would be the usual determinant of how the energy is, soothing, calm, or energetic, like an electric guitar.

I love the pianoey-ish sounds, gave a gentle feel, and the accensions in the notes, just inspired hope within me. I like the use of reverb in almost every instrument, plugin, whatever. It kinda helps to maintain the relaxing hopeful energy.

This thang you made inspires hope within me, and, like any other good tracks around NG, motivates me to make tracks as awesome as yours.
Too bad they're not as awesome.

[Hillbilly Glitch]

Ah, I like the idea of Country-Techno, but I must honestly say, I didn't find anything country in that banjo tune. I might be wrong though, since I'm not familiar with the country genre. In fact, the tune sounds more oriental than country, but it's probably just me...

However, I think you preserved the "Techno" bit in the song's bass (That's what it is, right? I'm not good in musical terminology) pretty well and you really got it down in techno there.

Overall, okay melody, nothing wrong there, but problem to get the "Country" element in the "Country-Techno". I would give this a 4/5, overall, but 3/5 as "country-techno" genre.

Nice thinking to use a banjo, but it didn't sound country. Am I focusing too much on how "country" it is? I apologise, just that you intended to mix country with techno, so, yeah...
I don't listen to much Country genre music, so I could be just bullcrapping here.

[-Outrun-]

Love the fast-paced tempo from the start to finish, and the melody and the note-bending from 4:00 - 5:13. Then there's the sick ending! Sweet!
(SCRATCHY-SCRATCHY-SCRATCHY) DEEEEuuuuuuu...

[DarkForce - Swedish dance]

Nice melody and transitioning, but, it was kinda repetitive... It didn't seem that repetitive though, due to the occasional "Yeaahoo!" at times 0:33, 1:01, 2:07 & 3:07. However, that led me to find the "Yeaahoo!"s overused...

Well, then there's the thing about how "hard" your song is... The definition here is pretty vague, but I'll just take it to be "intense" like most songs are when described as "hard"... Hope that's what you meant too.
So, you kinda mixed in a little "trancey" stuff here and there beween the "dancey" and "technoey" bits, but you kinda transitioned too fast between them, or something, 'cause I didn't feel that it was that hard, for both the "technoey", "dancey" stuff and "trancey" stuff...

For the trancey relaxing end, you kinda just ended it to fast for me... But it should seem alright to others.
In an analogy, it's like, having a guy listening to some relaxing trancey songs when he sleeps, and he's kinda like drifting slowly into sleep, which is what most of the stuff I listen to have that little slow-dying-out ending.
Then again, it's just my opinion that it's too fast to end, others mightn't find it so.

Overall, your has a melody that wasn't that repetitive, but I find it needs a tad more variation.. I like the smooth transitioning, pretty neat. I don't think that the track was hard though.
I also don't know if I'm bullcraping here, since I don't know much about music. Or the terms.

Hey, thank you for that long review! It really helps me for my upcoming tracks. Thanks again =)

[These Mistakes are Mine Alone]

The high keys of the piano, telling you of something that you wanted to do so badly.
The low keys, showing you the reality of the situation you are in and how impossible it is.
The chaotic raging drums express the regret, frustration, the sorrow have done what you did.

These mistakes you made are yours alone...

And that's my view of the song! It's simply beautiful.

[Focus - SG]

Awesome as Usual.

Ahhh, love the the high pitch synths or thingies like at 1:15, the "tension" brings about an energy... or something. Great song! The nice piano-ey calm ending, love the techno-dream mix. The calm and the techno storm entwined with each other and was perfect.
Well, at least I think so. Not good with music terms... Hate that.

Love it how you change styles once a while, too.
