[Astral (Preview)]

Familiar

Sounds ALOT like something else I've heard....I'll let you know on full version if I can think of it ; ). Quite nice anyway, love the whole cheering thing you got going there...could use some mastering though..and maybe I nice bassy sound..i don't know what exactly but it seems to be missing something = P, maybe I'll see in full version!

[Psybot - eternal youth]

Euphoric

I would definately classify this under the new rising genre of "euporic" for it is an unbelievable uplifting, light dance mix, happy portrayed unconditionally trhoughout the song, rather then just pure concentrated energy like a regular dance song.

I also thoroughly enjoy the quickbuild at 2:27, definately added some extra flavor to the song ^^.

However, the vocals of "The Spring..Of...Eternal...YOUTH" seemed a bit odd to me, maybe something else about eternal youth, more philosophic like "True Eternal Youth" or something along those lines woulda been awesome, of course they may of been corny...but no more then any vocals in techno songs = P.

Sincerely,
~TheWisestMagi~

P.S. Euphoric music is one of my own favorite styles, hope to put out that type of song this winter...This is a great example of it, thank you, I will undoubtably use it for reference ^^.

Psybot responds:

I have never heard of that kind of genre b4, but then i am not so sure about any music genre my songs are.
i have heard countless time ppl who said something like: " This song would have had better rating if it where in...." and such.

But anyway, about the vocals. i am still very new to vocals, i will take all the advise ppl give me and try my best after their advise.

so you can congratulate yourself with the fact that you where the first person to give me an advise in vocals =P

Thx for your review, im glad you liked the song =)

[Butterfly Voice in E major]

Simply..Lovely.

To start my review I would just like to say something about the review previous to mine..While I am not developed enough to hear if chord patterns are being repeated, I can say that even if there are repaeted chord patterns..the song is clearly about portraying indiscribable emotions, not showing off your musical talents..

Ok now for my review! I admit that in the first 5 seconds of the song, it reminded me of the song from the movie How the Grinch stole Christmas called "Where Are You Christmas? Why Can't I Find You?" Anyway, that was soon changed in the piece...Also I can't help to feel a sorrowful emotion mixed within the song..maybe the emotion of love and sorrow are not as different as we think? I do not know..
Also, this song was very soothing, and, as you see, what I like to call the "idealist" style appeals more to newgrounders then those pieces you have put out that have unbelievable amounts of musical talents in them..In short, I do hope you continue putting songs like this out from time to time = ).

Back to what someone mentioned as a slightly repetitive feel..I do not believe it to be so, put a similar feel throughout the song..one that portrays something blossoming like a flower..not unchanging..but slowly, everchanging.

Sincerely,
~TheWisestMagi~

P.S. This song feels bizarre when "AngryFaic" comes up while it's playing.

[Rage of the Champions]

Meaningless warfare?

I finally have been given enough inspiration to come back = ). This song was completely phenominal, took a battle scene to a new level to me, especially in such a short song >=O. (I LOVE THE PERCUSSION IN THIS SONG!). The parts where the strings are involved in give you such an understanding of great victory coming with great loss to me...almost a reflection of the why the battle is taking place during the heat of the battle itself. (I LOVE THE PERCUSSION IN THIS SONG!).

Also, you added the perfect amount of zest and zeal to the song without making it confusing sounding...sounds more like a bravehearted fight then a confused swinging of axes and swords to me...(I LOVE THE PERCUSSION IN THIS SONG!).

Also, I can't help but to feel that this is the closest feeling from a classical song to a metal song I've ever felt, gives you that same ROCKIN! feeling at points, I think this has an imidiate link to the awesomely done percussion. (I LOVE THE PERCUSSION IN THIS SONG!). This really adds some adreneline to the song without making it completely hectic..very nice indeed..plus, it's not getting old at all as I listen too it, no repetitive sound to it...which is a VERY nice quality if this is to be a general battle music.

Story Time: First we see men lined up, weapons at arms, a leader shouting orders at them, their adreneline and fear becoming uncontainable as it almost becomes visible...then, as a calm quickly sweeps over them, the next thing they know they are silently rushing up a rocky wooded hill straight toward the jaws of death itself. (As the strings cut back in) The jaws quickly return to life and charge headfirst back into the attackers...all is chaos for but a moment..until it is clear that each man, with each owns soul is fighting another real human being, whose soul may not be much farther away, but as of now, they are mortal enemies upon contact, bent on killing the other no matter what...This is taking place all across the hazardous battlefeild, and as the scene fades away, only we can see, that there will be no victor in this battle...

Hope I still had it in me to write a story ; ). (I LOVE THE PERCUSSION IN THIS SONG!). Also, it seems like I haven't emphasized something enough in this review...oh yeah! The percussion completely owns..

5/5 I've still been watching (downloading) and enjoying your songs, don't worry ^^.

MaestroRage responds:

The first thing i'm getting from this review is that you seem to enjoy a certain aspect of this song... but you've done such an incredibly good job mingling it with the review that I can't seem to point out exactly what it is...

I think you should know there's no woodwinds in this song, so you're wrong >:(!!

But seriously though, i'm glad you liked the percussion, it is my most diverse, most powerful percussion layers! Easily 70% of the song was spent with percussion and the heavy brass and strings. The melody itself, no more then 2 hours.

It's funny you should say that the percussion makes you think of metal, for i've been studying metal/industrial/DnB style percussion for some while. I think it was worth the effort as you have heard. Metal is also one of my favorite genres overall. Especially Power Metal, some people hate it, I don't see why. It's awesome, melodic, greatness. But thats besides the point.

As for your image, you have the idea right on the dot :D! Meaningless, savage, passionate fighting. Without restraint, without thinking of the other, even losing the ability to love and protect one's own comrades. Victory will be had, even if the swords used are made of ally bones.

I'm glad you listen to the pieces Wisest :). You still write well, thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[Houki Boshi - RMX]

Potential for much more.

OK yeah...about that static...get rid of that..the song is a song where is nice crisp sound is much more preferable like in the beginning.

At 0:35 is where it just gets way out of hand...that synth that comes in there needs to be 60% the volume it is..or at least alot less..should be more of a happy zest then a hard hitting sound to me..

I've never heard the real song or seen bleach, but other then what I said this is a very exhilerating and lovely song, I would download it if you fixed some of this static = ).

Sincerely,
~TheWisestMagi~

[Marche au Château in G minor 2]

*applaud*

Wow...This is intense, and the loop is COMPLETELY seemless...I don't know how you even think to put in all the little details that you have in here...I guess that's why I am going to take some music theory and classes of the such next year..Hope I will be able to pull something off like this.

Anyway, back to the song, this song is really quite amazing..so much mixing of emotions and very hard to predict, just when you think you know what the song is going to do, it changes once again!

Phenominal, I can't think of a single complaint O_o.

[The Beautiful Savage]

MMD, Sculpter of Emotions

I am very glad you came back to bless us with another of your pieces, it is always a pleasure to listen to them. And yes, to me, in the classical genre, you are the master of emotion, MaestroRage/Sorrow is master of world building, and..well..I'm still waiting to come up with more catagories in my head of classical music for others to fulfill..

Anyway..as we enter this beautiful sentiment, we hear a reverbed, echoing piano, spilling out it's heart for us...It is then reassured by the voices in the strings and percussion, and becomes more confident in it's melody..and as the beat drops out, the piano once again spills out emotion beyond what was believed as possible..
Now, at 1:40 this voice grows in confidence, and even rage, and as the anger (strings) build up within it the voice seems ready to burst...until...with a burst of consolement, the piano realizes it's faults, and as it moves on with more confidence then ever, what it thought was it's anger (strings) turn out not to just be anger, but a companion of life..At the end of the song, we here a release of what piano was keeping stored up inside, finally reaching true peace..and as it drifts away..we will remember.

Very nice composition you have here, I'm glad you haven't lost that musical talent ;). Once again..I REALLY like the intro to this song ^^, so much emotion.

5/5, 10/10, flawless in it's form and movement..thanks for submitting again!

~TheWisestMagi~

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Well... Sculpter of Emotions... that quite the title. I thank you kindly for it.

I always love the visions people get from listening to my work. It's really inspiring. Hehe no I didn't lose my talent after all this time.

I look forward to listening to your work.

Thanks again.

[[F-777] "The Promise"]

oh my god...

DUDE, this IS so beautiful..but enough with the caps, it takes away from my listening experience = ).

The song itself: This is a nice electro-deviation off of classical music, but still remains very classical at heart..The synth is SO beautiful, and the pads are wonderful to accompany the piano..I especially like when the synth takes a more primary role in the song.

So beautiful, I hope you don't mind if I try my hand at story telling again? ^^

"The Promise" The promise we don't know, the meaning of it however is abundantly clear throughout the song, and is an incredible sentiment..
A promise from an adventurer to a women that he will never leave her and always be there for her through the best AND the worst of times maybe? A promise from a farmboy to an old woman to come back everyday till the end even..we don't know, but it is a caring, heartfelt promise which has unbreakable bonds keeping it from ever being broken..unfogettable at heart...even if simple..

..This is so beautiful I could cry out of an unexplainable emotion when cannot be portrayed through words nearly as well as it is being portrayed through the song..so to know how I feel..just listen to the song = ).

Sincerely,
~TheWisestMagi~

P.S. I want to hear more of these from you! ^^

F-777 responds:

Thank you. Im glad you enjoyed this piece.

[T-Minus 1 Minute (Collab)]

Good, not your best, but good..

This was a nice industrial track, especially easy to use in a flash..

I really like you as an author, but I still think Helix6 beats you in industrial (like everyone else..)

This is still a very fun song and makes me want to get up and dance at some moments..a shaky dance..yeah..anyway, cool song you got here, but could be better and less repetitive to wrap up (good for loop though).

4/5, good, but not great (I rate better authors harder).

~TheWisestMagi~

P.S. Who did the high pitched squeaky sound that comes in later in the first part..that rocked = P..Liked the drums better in 2nd half though.
