[Emerald Tablet]

Emerald Tablet – Good to see you entering this month again. And you are singing again . Dang you open your mouth and I just start lighting up. Magic in this one Remco, same goes for you; this makes me want to hear the soundtrack.

thanks
i was very happy with your entry as well !
build this quick because i actualy had a collab planned but it wasn`t to close to the theme so we saved it so just wait for an entry with a lovely individual we all know

[SecondSkin]

Mystahr -- thanks for the review. I must say that all of the reviews, good or bad, encourage me to complete tunes, learn my craft, and to contribute to the community by submitting reviews myself. Mystahr, your reviews are consistently insightful and obviously involve very active listening. Thank you very much!

[pheeleep]

Thanks for the review Myhstar. I really appreciate that you took the time to do it...

[plunge]

No no! That's not what I meant at all! I don't see the reviewers as people who think they know better. I love to get feedback too. That's the real point of posting your work isn't it? That's why I got involved here. This is my twelfth month of entering - most of those months I actively wrote detailed reviews for everyone and generally littered the Gossip thread with my blather.

Okee Doke. I just needed to clarify. I'm happy to comment, but I don't want to be "the guy who thinks he knows everything." I know that I'm definitely not.

And the last batch

T-William – (last time; I swear ) Man you sure did deliver quite the intriguing tune with some heavy ass guitars.... The story in and behind the track is hilarious and execution (or persecution) is even better

mark, you are the reviewing master and that doesn't just apply to contest submissions!

i know not everyone gets what the hell i did, but i'm glad those you know, found it funny i was just having some fun this time around. thanks again

Ehhhhhhhhhhh

Just my way of giving back to a great community

PS: You-TM

I wasn't really refering to the original soundtrack or movie. But more to what I would think to become a great soundtrack should the imaginary movie be filmed and you'd do the score

[Bitstreem]

Bitstream – I quite enjoy the mood and setting for this track. So be it a small Sunday ditty; I think the idea behind this is pretty darn good and very befitting to the theme. No real hook in here, but a great atmosphere. (and yeah the mixing could’ve been better )

Thank you very much for those kind words, Sir! Yeah, small Sunday-ditty it is indeed, but often the best ideas are those short and quick ones, you know? This one just came flying out like a breeze, I just happened to have the time to catch it before it disappeared this time...

Cheers,

Arne S.

[farlukar]

Farlukar – Hmmmmm, the varying velocity on the sorta digital snare turned me off a bit; in a sense it is tiring my ears a bit. I must say though that the whole of this does some strange things and creates for quite the glitchy phased sound. I must say though that I loved that pad sound which this starts with... btw welcome to KvR

Thanks & thanks
It's actually a bit of an unfinished rush job because I had more important things to spend my time on last week (d'oh!)
Normally I spend some more time on sound-polishing...

Mystahr – I try; I try

Nice try

[Beardedone]

Hey Freeztar!

Thanks so much for the vote.

Cheers,
Gordon

[scuzzphut]

Scuzzphut – Wow! This one shifts through time from ambienesque atmospheres to a driving almost disco’ish 4/4 stomp to the floor track. Great controls on the sounds here that are just a treat to listen to and disect. I somehow had hoped for a stronger ending though somehow. Still a top tune.

Thanks Mystahr I did spend an inordinate amount of time selecting the sounds for this. Something I'm not used to doing in my normal "acousto-indie" stuff

Thanks for noticing

[freeztar]

Hey Freeztar!

Thanks so much for the vote.

Cheers,
Gordon

You deserve it! Great composition and a very interesting listen. Good luck!

[Wine]

Marmstrong – Loving how this track opens with the bells and choirs giving a spacious feel from the start. This is a high-moody tune with a lot of room for visual interpretation although for a theme to a movie maybe a bit too quiet and empty.

Thanks for listening, I was beginning to think my link was broke or something. Interesting thought on it being too empty and quiet. I was going for an "Alien" inspired theme and I suppose that they are pretty quiet in the opening sequences, particularly in Alien itself. I suppose I might take that as a compliment in that I achieved my aim Thanks for listening.

[Beardedone]

Plunge.



Thanks so much for the number one vote. I really appreciate your support.

This month sure is interesting. There are so many excellent tracks it will be again a wrench to choose the top 10.

Best,
Gordon
