oh, the nostalgia!

"DAMNIT!"

submission: oh, the nostalgia!
date: October 3, 2008

This thing has trapped me to listen to it over and over again. I like how catchy and happy it is while still having that adventurous bit in it. Stuff like these make me almost want to return to some doomed pixel projects of mine.

:) Thanks for the review, you.

I would love to see some pixel projects from you. I love pixel art. DIG 'EM UP AND PUT THAT SHIT TO WORK MAN.

everybody knows i'm new wave

"Whoa!"

date: August 4, 2008

This one rocks so much. It feels like some kind of adventure is about to begin while listening to this song. At the same time it's very smooth and funny and weird. Makes me want to listen to it again and again adn agian.

Kinda reminds me of something, but I can't just put my finger on it.

Very extraordinary job!

Author's Response:

Thanks man. I understand every bit you're talking about. When I finished it, I put it on my iPod, set to repeat track, and listened to it throughout the day :D

Looking back on the song, I kind of feel like it's Gary Numan meets NIN;

I started out wanting a full-on classic New Wave track (which I believe is evident in the beginning), and then by fluke (program froze up), I discovered the chorus. I reopened it and programmed the notes so that it would sound like a more natural repetition and added some instrument changes and melody variation for an overall more dramatic feeling.

The overwhelming part of the song (pretty much from 1:36 to the end) reminds me of NIN's 'Beside You in Time,' and that could be what you're thinking of.

Those are just a few of my influences, but I really liked how they came together. I wasn't thinking about NIN as I wrote the track (I don't usually); I was thinking about Gary Numan, but I liked the way NIN's influence made itself heard.

AFTER READING ALL THAT, THOUGH -- I still feel great about this song because I can hear my own unique sound, too. I'm in love with it :D

Thanks again for the review.

"Minf fux"

date: May 10, 2008

This one's a pleasure on the ears. It's just so smooth at times, while being glitchy at others. The lyrics are rad and the loop is mahtava.

Oh yes! Pure gold and golden nuggets wrapped in golden shower curtains. Why did you submit this here so late? It was amazing since the first day. You get seven points for trying.

3 plus points for the KEKEKE!

Fun Fish

"Classic stuff"

submission: Fun Fish
date: February 21, 2008

The fish are getting a bit frisky. They're not fun anymore. Therefore it only gets a 6.

And bonus points for the groovy world of sound.

[d30./f2n}

"Oh Yeah!"

submission: [d30./f2n}
date: February 17, 2008

This is one of those tunes I just can't get out of my head. It's groovy, good sounding and makes me want to move. I don't think it's too repetitive at all like someone claimed.

Just one question: What is a f2n?

==(Climbing a Snow Mountain)==

"Exploration and adventures."

date: January 2, 2008

I like the feeling of this song, the atmosphere and the rhytm. When I listen to this, all kinds of images and scenery come to mind.

Most of all, I think of doing something adventurous like climbing a mountain or such. I agree that somebody could consider this not to be ambient music, but I don't really give a monkey's bollock about all that rubbish categorizing.

Great stuff. Somehow reminds me of some of the better tracks in the Donkey Kong Country game series.

Author's Response:

So you think of climbing a mountain when listening to it? Sounds like I was spot on with the title, then. :D

Thanks for the review! <3

freedom of leech

"DDDDDDDDDDDDDRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

submission: freedom of leech
date: December 22, 2007

This song causes all kinds of interesting imagery to pop in to my mind while listening to it. I like the aggressiveness and the trippy and mechanical landscape of sound.

Excellent material, just like everything you've made here.

December 22, 2007

Author's Response:

I'm glad you liked it.

I've actually kind of lost interest in this song now because I think I may have rushed it and could have done a better job.

Thanks for the review.
