Very nice cover!
I've always LOVED this song. Very beautiful piece :)
You did a very good job with this cover. I'm actually inspired to make an ambient/dubstep song by listening to this.
I'd love to write more for this review, but it's a bit hard since this is a cover. Just know that I think you did very well. Lots of talent here :D
5/5
Thank you very much. It's an incredible piece and I'm glad I could inspire you.
Cool!
Even though this isn't the typical "madness" song, I think it would fit with a Madness Combat flash perfectly. The DnB mixes very well with the ambient synths which gives it that really creepy feeling. The use of 7/4 timing was cool, too. Very nice indeed :)
Also, it's nice to see some challenging competition in the Madness Day 2010 contest :D
5/5 and Fav'd. I really enjoyed it. Good luck in the Madness Day contest!
:)
Thanks for the review man
Don't get much of these now a days lol
I thought that 7/4 timing would interesting to do after listening to some Dream Theater :D
Awesome!
Realllllllly liked this one. It's slow but it has changes up at just the right moments.
I liked all of the sounds you used. You had a variety of stuff ranging from soft plucks to really distorted leads, which was pretty cool. All of the melodies were good and blended with each other nicely.
The only thing that bothered me was that build up sound you used. You used it wayyyy to often and it took a little bit of the trance-y feeling away (in my opinion).
But other than that, everything else seems fine. I really enjoyed it :)
awesome thnx...
ah... ima big fan of the sweep... ill try to use it in a original way next track
"it's slow but it has changes up at just the right moments"
YES TY.... that is a tricky part of progressive trance.... not being overly repetitive :D
Woah...
This gave me goosebumps. And when that bass dropped... O_O
Great job man! Its awesome how you made the dirty bass mix with the extremely emotional feel of this song. Its almost like you made the song say "I'm a very sensitive person, but I'll kick your ass if I have to." :D
I honestly can't find anything wrong with it! Everything seems to be perfect to me. There is a nice and smooth flow, all of the sounds can be heard clearly, and it never gets repetitive :D
Fav'd!
5/5!
Added you as a favorite artist as well!
Looking forward to some awesome songs from you! :D
Awesome mate, thanks! There will be a lot of great stuff in the near future :)
Pretty cool!
I really enjoyed it. Its simple but effective. I think that it can fit into the animation nicely, but I do think that it isn't heavy and dark enough for something Gears of War related.
The only thing that bothered me was the guitar. It just sounded a bit too fake to me :/ If you can find a better sample or put actual guitar in there everything would be perfect :)
Great job man! :D
"I really enjoyed it. Its simple but effective. I think that it can fit into the animation nicely, but I do think that it isn't heavy and dark enough for something Gears of War related."
My bad. My style isn't dark enough to make something like Gears of War, but at least it sounds epic, like the artist wanted it to be :3.

You're actually the first to comment about the guitar, everyone else liked it :P. It's my best guitar sample, and it's really hard to find good guitar VST's nowadays :(. Maybe if I ask someone in the forums they can record a real guitar for me, but heck, I'd rather do that on a full song ^^.
"Great job man! :D"
Thanks for reviewing! I love it when people not only respond to my reviews but occasionally review back too, definitely makes me notice that my reviews are being appreciated :D. Glad you liked it!
LOL...
I've seen this song everywhere on NG but never decided to listen to it until now. It sucks that I didn't listen to this song sooner...BECAUSE IT'S AWESOME...
Great job dude. Fav'd :D
Thanks, glad you like it!
Beautiful
Wow...very gripping song. It's very pretty but is very creepy at the same time. I could see it being used in a survival horror game or something like that :)
The only problem is the kick. It just doesn't seem to fit very well to me. Maybe you should try adding a more realistic sounding kick.
Really good job overall. I enjoyed it! :D
I'ts kinda meant to be that way since its a mix or "Fusion" of hip hop and classical.
But yeah.. i know i culd make it better :)
Awesome!
Really awesome song. I like the way the song progressed and the smooth flow of the song.
All of the snyths sound good and clear, the kick is prominent and bassy, and the piano sounds very good. The snare doesn't seem to fit very well however. You might want to see if you can find a better snare for this song.
My favorite part was at 2:11 when that really soothing pluck synth came in. I absolutely LOVED it!
So...beautiful job overall. Yet another great song from you. Keep up the good work! :D
thnx for the review :D... always love hearing from a fellow artist
Nice attempt
I think I can see what you were going for. I think it was something similar to a house song with really strong bass and beats, but I could be horribly wrong :P Either way, I think the execution of the song was a bit poor.
The EQ'ing sounds a bit flat, if there was any. Also, I think if you increased the power of the sidechain, it would sound A LOT better. Along with that, add some different drum lines and melodies to keep the song from getting boring.
I think a really good song can come from this. Just keep working with it :)
4/5
yo thanks man but i made it totaly different now :D with perfect streamlined bass and melody :D
Pretty good!
Not really my type of music, but I enjoyed some parts of it :P
The EQ'ing sounds good. Everything sounds good and clear. Maybe try changing thing up and bit with the drums and melodies in the full song. It started to get pretty repetitive about half way through.
Also, I think there needs to be more bass. Its called drum and bass for a reason :P It doesn't need much though. Maybe add a soft and faint bass just to give the melodies and drums more support.
Oh, and increase the volume on all of the synths used. I could barely hear them over the drums.
Overall, its a very well crafted song. You're on the right track with this on :)
5/5
Oh my, I somehow totally missed this review. Sorry for responding so late, my bad. ):
But thanks for the well written advice! I fully agree it needs more bass. I usually write basslines last because I find they need a ton of EQing to sit in a mix properly. To get any full sounding basses, you'll need to add them last for if you don't, you'll end up with spectrumrape. :P
Thanks for reviewing! :D
