[Un petit morceau in A minor]

I have been listening to this for about 4 years as study music (looped). Just wanted to thank you.

[NGHH KO4 - Exceptid vs Gloine]

Gloine

Gloine wins again. Exceptids lyrics and flow are simply second rate in comparison. Also, the voice is cool, but it feels like he's using it not just to separate himself, but it's overly intense for his lyrics. The best part of his lyrics is the part is where he claims Gloine's nasty lyrics are actually a catastrophe. Gloine still wins hard though.

[Guitar Partitia #1 - Romance]

Incredible!

This is fantastic, sir. I rather enjoyed every bit of the composition, and your performance was certainly not sub par, so quit being humble ;P.

My only suggestion to make this a bit more interesting is to have a part somewhere that is perhaps even in a different key (but still a spanish scale setup) and play a little salsa-y** part that has more full chord playing in it and a nice little groove to create a kind of "dancing loving romantic exciting sexual" feel in the song. It would make it feel more complete to me.. Seems like you hit much of romance except for this :).

Hopefully that helps you as far as composing goes! I am not a guitarist so I cannot judge that, but it looks like you don't want me to anyway.

**Salsa-y is maybe not what I'm looking for, as that change may be too dramatic, but I hope you kind of know what I mean. Perhaps I meant more Rumba?

Darkmaster603 responds:

Well, I know that there is some sloppy playing in some parts, but I just don't like hearing that my playing is sloppy too much :P.

I can see that you're right, I need to add another movement to this piece, the "dancing loving romantic exciting sexual" part seems to not really be there. I understand what you mean by salsa-y, and I'll try to work on that. I think you're right about the key change, I think it's going to be necessary for the other movement.

Thanks for taking your time to listen and review this song!

[NGHH KO3 - Gloine vs GasMasq]

Nice.

I'm not gonna lie, I had lost faith in the hip-hop section of NG and haven't given it a chance in a long time. This has changed that. First legit song in the section that I've hard. Very nice.

Ps. These lyrics are fire.

[Exquisite Corpse 2]

Only 31 to go!

So I thoroughly enjoy the idea of these recent projects.

My only small point of criticism would be that the segments of the song were just that, segments. It felt more like 5 different songs (the last two being remixes of them all). I figure that this was just to show different elements of the experiment, but I would personally just prefer to skip to 2:46 and listen to the project as a whole.

This could be remedied if there were any transitions ;) <-- I realize that with the nature of this song, transitions are very hard, but as it is the song is just literally cutting off and starting back up completely different other than the key.

Sweet song. Magnificent concept. I look forward to listening in on more of these. They are awesome.
9/10, 5/5.

P.S. Great work on the sound editing/mixing.

Rig responds:

I wanted to show everyone the loops involved in the final mix, and I thought segments were the best way to do it. But yeah, transitions would be a better way to do so, eh?

Thanks for the props!

[Rig - Mind over Metal theme 1]

Polkown.

The beginning, when played with an accordian, is in fact a polka. I SWEAR IT.

I might have lied.

NO I WOULD NOT DO THAT.
(or would I?) No, I wouldn't

Yes, sometimes if I really need too.
Grownups lie.

NO
YES
NOYESNONOYESYESNONONONO!!!!

HEY! THIS IS UNFINISHED!
Asshole.

Cmon, I didn't mean it......Yes I did.
Anyway, why isn't this in the top 5? It's just the kind of energy pumping stuff that NG is supposed to love! Wait..oh...I see...Did you layer your sounds and not be repetitive? Tsk, you will never get far without being repetitive. Everyone who's anyone knows that.

~TWM (or am I?)

P.S. I am.
P.P.S. BUT WHO IS THAT%u203D
INTERROBANG/QUESCALATION MARK!
Make a song titled interrobang please. pleease...

Rig responds:

Polkamon; gotta dance 'em all!

[Emotions In Music]

Oui

Feels like the trans-siberian orchestra.

This is a good thing.

Epic electro-classical.

Good work!

[Solus- For Schala]

If I commented, I would ruin it.

*standing ovation*

[Djinn(TimmyDope)]

WTF

Ok, three songs into listening to your music.

WHY AREN'T YOU KNOWN? You are significantly better than most of the "top" submitters on this site. So far every song that I have heard from you is as good as or better than any of the current top 5 songs.

Besides which, writing your own stuff is a heck of a lot harder than remixing. No matter what anyone says.

Favorited as an audio artist now.

TimmyDope responds:

Thanks man im glad you appreciate my work. The problem with this site is people get 0 bombed all the time and they arent really given a fair chance. I have been lucky to have 3 songs in the top 5 so far but i believe there is other artists on here like me that produce good work and dont get alot of credit. 0 bonbing sux. :(

It's called dissonance..

I can't believe this isn't being appreciated! Haha, I love it!!

You win this week's top 5.
