[Kw- Conficker Worm]

Interesting

I'm always paranoid about viruses, I constantly check Task Manager to see if there's any suspicious process running in the background. This song sounds really creepy and the finale with malfunctioning Windows sounds is too much for me to bear. Great idea, intelligent sound design and great quality. Excellent work and good luck at the contest !

Thank you very much! Im glad you like it. :D

[Feral Children]

Twisted

Very, very twisted song. I love it ! One big problem though, like Metal-Kombat noticed is that the vocals are hard to make out most of the time. The song is just awesome, especially the whole concept of feral children put to music. The lyrics and melody are hardcore and it would be a shame to lose points because of the vocals. Excellent work and good luck at the contest.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

Alright, so then what I'll do is redo the vocals so they are distinguishable. I'm really glad you liked the song.Thanks!

[Train Disaster]

Great

It's an interesting blend of classical writing and atmospheric instrumentation. Slightly experimental in sound quality but it's a great idea, and the mix of the two tehniques makes for a great portrayal of the story you chose. Solid, honest original work overall. Good luck at the contest !

TheRat responds:

Thanks =D

[Terrae - Oblivia (Opening)]

Great

I don't know what the game is about, but it kind of sounds like something with pirates or conquering fleets, something about the open seas anyway. It's epic indeed and very adventurous, in the line of James Newton Howard's animation adventure scoring. The theme sticks in your head and is also very hummable. Very good indeed !

Zero123Music responds:

Your review is highly appreciated! thanks alot :)

Pirates? well I don't think so xD but I have only a story which to write my music for Terrae - Oblivia.

thanks again

[Last Promise (Kinen Menu)]

Excellent

This a beautiful song. Very heartfelt, excellent sound mixing, instrumentation, and the piano work is flawless. And I agree with Kaizerwolf, it's sounds like more than just a menu theme. It has a depth that speaks volumes. Also, it's probably the best loop I've heard so far around NG. Excellent work !

[Good Morning America]

Wonderful

Great song, very hymn-like. The first thought that went through my head was of the movie Flags of Our Fathers. This song would have worked so much better than Clint Eastwood's simplistic score did. Wonderfully written theme, excellent instrumentation and sound mixing. I love how the theme doesn't go overboard with heroics, but accentuates a feeling of dignity and honor. Excellent song.

sorohanro responds:

Thanx man, thanx.
Nice words like that coming from a very good composer means a lot to me.
Cheers ;)

[And The Heavens Shall Tremble]

Perfect

Truly epic. Excellent sound mixing, kick-ass percussions, natural sounding orchestra, and excellent action score writing. Not much to be said except it is perfect. Definetly should be used in movies or games.

[Left To The Wolves]

Awesome

Very cool adventure music. Has a distinct soundtrack feel, and I would even say it would work as trailer music. The sound mixing is clear, the orchestral synths are convincing and well instrumented, and I especially loved the percussion arrangement. Very dynamic an tense. Great work !

[The Cliff]

Fantastic

Great war song ! There are plenty of good things about it, from the alert pacing to the instrumentation and the melodic lines. Indeed, it sounds a bit too synthetic, but it is still a great achievement !

silencefreedom responds:

Thanks!

[Fuby : Song of the space]

Cool !

Cool ambient song ! Really atmospheric and the sound is very well mixed. Longer and with more variation would have been great. Reminded me of music from the that old Dune game.
