Very nice. I love the sounds that you used. The “whale” guitar is awesome. Another very well produced song. I like the mood that this sets. What else can I say. Very cool.

Thanks P.L.

Glad you liked it.

I see we are doing the "one-post-per-track-reviewed" this month. I will follow suit so as not to upset the apple cart. (and to up my post count

)

Hi Scuzzphut.

I see we are doing the "one-post-per-track-reviewed" this month. I will follow suit so as not to upset the apple cart. (and to up my post count )

It was 4 pages long in MS Word, so I didn't want to take the risk . I didn't want one post to be the equivalent of 4 pages long

I missed a few replies to people that reviewed my song so I thought I'd combine them into one: thanks for taking the time to publish your reviews! The criticisms I have seen are very helpful in improving/objectifying my perspective on my music and I must say that seeing that people like my stuff is an incredible boost for my ego...

Fitch - Cell
Nice beat. I like the interplay of the minors and major s - gives it a wee edge. The strings are beautiful, as we would come to expect

A lovely composition , but I can't help feeling the beat is somehow superfluous. I'd probably have liked it even more than I do if it was "beat-less".

Tancos - Threnody
The flute sounds quite realistic. A nice atmosphere is created , but I find it ultimately doesn't grab my attention a great deal.

Miro - Dirty City

I like the muffled vocal. Creates a good underpinning. The rhythmic element is good with a cool bassline. NIce pattering percussion towards the end. No real "hook" though. Good mix and production.

Mr. Tunes - Dub Side of the Tune

A genre we don't often hear on KvR which you've pulled off well. Instantly reminded of the Specials "Ghost TOwn" (this is a *good thing*). Great atmosphere and a nice lead line. All the production tricks in there one would expect - especially liked the reverbed timbales at the end. Made me smile

T-Willy - Far Away
I'm afraid this doesn't do it for me. The lyric is trite. The music generic and cheesy. The vocal breakdown towards the end builds up to nothing.

Not my cup of tea.

The Dumb ANgels - If I could Find the Words

Effects in the middle are interesting. This is quite mix up of a tune . It's certainly in a style of it's own- which is to be commended. Some nice sounds and production, but ultimately left me cold.

Duncan Parsons - Indecision

I think this would benefit greatly from a real sax. The chord progressions and lead line work well, but the lead sound - the fake saz - grates on me. Interesting use of the jazzy chords and sax, mixed with the electronic percussion, which almost descends into Disco cheesiness, but manages to contain itself.

7Zark7 - Mayfly

This has a certain charm. The high tempo drums are cool, but could benefit from some variation. I like the digital sounding backing chords. No hook to reel me in , though.

Thomas Christensen - Odd

This walks it's own line.

I like that you know what you want and who cares if it's bonkers. Some of the Simmons type drum sounds are a bit out of place. Great programming and a cool atmosphere. Interesting.

Liqih - Orazione Danzante

Sounds like the soundtrack to a French movie to be made in 2017.

I like the off-beat feel and the rhythm is enhanced by the camping accordion chords. Good bassline, too. Again - this is your own genre, which is admirable.

Kyle Altenderfer - Shove Me Into

Good acoustic guitar work

The vocal is quite strong and the chorus has quite a strong hook. This is a really well done song, with a good mix and production, although there's a lot of this style of music out there right now. Like the fact that you took it down at the end - I assume the longer mix comes back up again?
