"This would sound great at 140mph."

I'll agree with the guy below.. this would rock on a highway at night.. goin really fast.

But yes, nice build, lil slow in the intro, but the effect is nice.. the main arp that you use down low sounds awesome.. and I love that lead you use.

Beat is simple, but it works well here, that and the strings add a nice touch to the melody you have going.

The piano and FX are also a real nice touch.

Keep up the good work! I'll have to remember to keep an eye out for your stuff. (I'm sitting here listening.. and the slowdown at the end sounds damn nice.. I like what you do with the beat there)

5/5 10/10 -Echoz

"We are our own greatest critics."

submission: Chrono Eternity (B0UNC3 Remix)

date: January 15, 2008

This song turned out really well, it's nothing at all to worry about. It's just a common thing that happens to any artist. As we get better at what we do, we become more and more critical of our own work.. eventually to the point where we may even think that we have gotten worse.

Look through your old songs, and compare them to the newer ones. There is progress. You just have to keep trying, even if it seems sub-par.. more likely than not, it is probably good stuff if good stuff is what you make. (If you are like me and make mediocre crap.. you just get mediocre crap.. but hey, I'll keep trying)

So, I guess my point is.. don't be afraid to submit things that don't seem that great at the time. Chances are, your fans will think otherwise.

Anyway, great stuff here. It has an aggressive start, and the melody folds in well.. I think one of my favorite parts is the break at 2:30, that sounded amazing. The only thing I could see to rework now is to fade the ending chord a hair faster, because the lead resolves really well there and that chord takes away from it a bit.

5/5 10/10 -Echoz
Keep crankin dem tunes man!

"I might wanna play with... =P"

Well, first off.. I am in the middle of an upgrade, so I won't have my new setup ready for at least a couple weeks... but as soon as I do.. I'd love to work with a few of your songs.

I'm about to start another band with an electric guitarist buddy of mine.. I dunno about this song.. but definitely some of your songs might go great with that..

I've played with just about every type of electronic music.. although until now, have been handicapped by lack of equipment.. but I would definitely like to collab sometime if you are interested. =]

And the song is beautiful, of course. Your voice has that sort of ethereal feel, and it just makes my ears happy I guess, lol.

But yes.. 5/5 10/10 -Echoz.

"You..."

submission: ~Goddess~ -hania

are a great singer!
I don't know of many that are that good at self-harmonizing... but you excel at it!

As for record deals.. ya know, you could always produce your albums on your own and just get a distribution deal, a lot of artists are starting to go that way because it tends to be more profitable in the end.

Anyway, I'd love to remix one of your tracks sometime, you have an excellent voice.. bet it would sound nice with trance or something =]

".....I don't know what to say..."

submission: Thrasher

date: January 7, 2008

Damn, this is a fine piece of metal you have here.

Just, wow. Within the melodies and everything, hell it fits together so nicely, the fast parts are clean, it just works out real well overall.

I don't know if I can look at my guitar buddies the same, LOL.

All I could even mention for improvement is maybe to mess around with the progression of the song a bit, maybe tweak the intro a bit.

"Bahahaha!!!"

submission: Not Real Metal

date: December 29, 2007

Evidentially.... someone took offense.. your score shows the symptoms of zero-bombing.. lol

Sounds good though... really badass when it goes into the choral break... pretty hardcore stuff here.

Good combination of things here, the strings give it a bit of dramatic intensity, that definitely helps.. gives it an extra boost.

On that note, as well as this loops, it would work well for a boss battle.

5/5, 10/10 -Echoz

"Love the bass.."

submission: Canon (Soft-trance remix)

date: December 28, 2007

The bassline you have going is great... I just wish there was more trance elements in here..

The classical stands out more than the trance part does, but it does go over very well regardless..

I have a remix of this too though, it's like the opposite though.. LOL.. it is in classical, and has more synth-type elements (Serenity if you want a look)

Anyways... back to the review.. the transition out of the intro sounded great.. but the percussion sounds a bit awkward through the beginning until it comes in steady in the later half of the intro.

Other than that.. maybe if you used some sort of trance saw for the melody.. I think that would be amazing here.

5/5, 9/10 -Echoz

"Mwahaha! Creative!"

I didn't even recognize the vocals at first.. one of the Kate Lesling packs right?

Nifty as hell. Heavy Dnb.. and the chopped vocals give it an atmospheric trancey feel..

Great work!

"good enough...."

TO FREAKIN WIN!

Maybe I could still get 2nd though..

This is kinda the idea I had in the beginning.. just much better than I would have done it. =P

5/5, 10/10 and such. Best of luck in the contest!

"Pretty Damn Sweet"

submission: Eternal Blue

date: December 25, 2007

I love that low arp you have going.. and all of the atmospheric synths.. has a really delicious sound going. The rhythms that underly the melodies and surrounding parts work really well with the simple percussion you are using. Overall it flows very well.

It has plenty of room in the mix too, what program did you use making this?

Anyway, 5/5, 10/10 all that stuff.

Hit me back sometime, I make music on here too, although I am limited at the moment because I am waiting to build a new computer.
