"Do you remember Worms?"

submission: Crusader

date: November 11, 2008

What a stupid subject header I wrote. I like the sound, it has a good spring and rumble to it and would make good main menu music for a medieval game. A good medieval game that is, not a shit one.

Score: 10

"Its R-Type of song..."

submission: B-Type

date: October 27, 2008

I have actually heard this before, you must have sent it to me or let me listen to it at work, but I've definitely heard it. I really like it, think its got a feel good pace and the way that the strings kind of mellow out and sort of drone back in is great.

The song could use some extra variation, but that could possibly ruin what is essentially easy listening music. The hums and drones are powerful, it sort of adds more tension, feels like a chase sequence kind of song.

Score: 10

"Murder Musik"

submission: Helloween (Pumpkin Mix)

date: October 19, 2008

The day that both Jason Vorhees and Michael Myers come to your house party is the day....... That I will come along too and join in the carnage.

This has a retro feel to it, with the mixed voiceovers making the song sound like a horror film opening at the beginning when the credits are coming on, or they show segments of blood, crime evidence or special effects stuff. I especially like the Cha Cha Cha's because they remind me of my childhood days watching Friday The 13th.

Horror fans will recognise all the voiceovers. The sound is swirly and ambient, with little bits of sharp strings running in and out. I thought it was a good mix, a pretty well orchestrated execution in mixing scary sounds together.

Score: 10

"Liked it"

submission: Cell phase

date: October 13, 2008

I thought it was pretty good and had atmosphere. Has a claustrophobic feel to it.

Score: 10

"Cold"

submission: A Fearful Night

date: October 9, 2008

A proper moody and atmospheric track. I love cold temperature ambience like this, it has an effect on me inside, like quenching my thirst.

A spooky composition with plenty of good variation and effects.

Good work 10/10 5/5.

Score: 10

"Humility/I Feel Alive"

submission: I Feel Alive

date: October 4, 2008

This one sounds like it adds more and more elements on as it goes along, the song is not really a build up, really more of a journey. I could easily imagine the strings version of this sounding something like Humility, which it did.

Again, strange but true, sounds like an ITV nightscreen soundtrack.

Score: 10

"Used to it now"

submission: Commuter (The Train Track)

date: October 4, 2008

This song is a dead ringer for ITV Nightscreen music, it has that certain quality to it. In fact, you should e-mail ITV and say I have a song here, will you put it on, I am very confident they would.

Other than that, it has an uptempo feel to it, sounds like something I'd hear in the late 90's on an old computer, not quality-wise, I mean it just has that music programmer kind of feel to it. The track itself is very varied and works well.

Score: 10

"Again"

submission: Stardust (Sleepy Version)

date: October 3, 2008

Has a Hip Hop texture to it, would love to rap on a beefed up version of this.

Maybe add a gentle sax with pitch bend.

I like the mellowness, has an Albatross feel to it, or Southern American kind of tone. I think I could build up some good lyrics to that drum pattern.

Score: 10

"Try sleeping"

submission: Walking in my Shoes

date: October 1, 2008

I might change the name of this song to "Try Sleeping In My Bed", or should I say on the downstairs sofa, this doozy kept waking me up, as Markyspark was upstairs composing the song and I kept hearing the same bits being played over and over again, endlessly, so I know how long it took to get the song right.

I'm surprised at how addicted I got to the beat, I don't mind the song so much, you did a grand old job of covering it.

Score: 10

"Meloncholy"

submission: Eternal Sea - Night

date: September 29, 2008

Even though this is a piano piece, I thought the deliberately slow pace and muted tone added great sprinkles of ambience to the song. There was also nice variation to the melody, but I do think you could add any very gentle strings/drones/pads/choirs and it will improve the atmosphere of the song much more.

Good work though. 5/5 10/10.
