Thanks for sharing ^ ^

eatmeatleet responds:

thanks!

[Calm Before the Storm]

Hey! It's good to see you back :D
And with a pretty catchy track too :O!!
Great job :3

EctiBot responds:

Thx Lucid :D! Really glad you like it :). Tried to make it catchy and calming at the same time X3.

[T-Logic - The Ritualist]

This is actually really cool! First seconds already caught my interest :D
I would love to drink to this, in a pub. That's how you know it's a good piece ;D

No but seriously, this is such an interesting blend of sounds! And pretty catchy melodies too, and most importantly the rhythm! I love all the basslines too, and the way they are occasionally emphasized :O
The guitars (the strummed one, if it is indeed a guitar, and the one that seems electric, or in the very least has some amplifier effect on it; in that case it doesn't even necessarily ahve to be a guitar).
Once again, the arrangement is what catches my interest the most, here. So many cool instruments, like some synths and the organ, all which blend together perfectly, with some atmospheric sounds. I don't even know what genre to call this! I guess that is why it's fusion ;p

This doesn't really sound dissonant either, despite all the intereting harmonies and melodies you concocted.

My one critique is that if you're going to give us such an undefined ending, with some new synth rhythms/melodies jsut popping up, and then just fading out, you might as well have looped this! Since it works perfectly as background music, and it's be difficult to tell where it starts and stops, this could be an absolutely wonderful ost, for a game of the mystery/atmospheric type. Or just, you know, playing in the background while grabbing a few drinks xD

Either way, this is one of my favorites from you! I'm glad I got to hear a new piece from you, this close to the end of 2016. Really nicely done ^ ^

TaintedLogic responds:

Thanks so much for the kind words, LSD! I was pretty happy with the intro myself, and I'm glad the sounds blend well together. I didn't know what genre to call it either! XD The rhythm may seem so interesting because the entire track is written in 3/4 time, although the pre-chorus melody at :19 is 2 measures of 4/4, so I just added an extra beat after the melody played in order to synchronize them. ^^ That's also probably why the bass sounds so exposed at :24. If you listen for the heavily reverberated, distorted clap during that section, it plays on every 3rd beat. I totally agree about the ending, too. It was entirely lazy of me.

"I would love to drink to this, in a pub. That's how you know it's a good piece" --> If you could somehow leave reviews anonymously on NG, this is how I would know it was from you. ;D

Thanks again for the review, Ale! ^^

[Rusty]

I like ambient stuff! This reminds me of some old RPG soundtracks.
Nice job! :)

ninjamuffin99 responds:

Thanks! I practiced a bunch of music stuff over the summer, and messed around with some FL Studio thingies. Im learning!

[rural home]

This is some weird chiptune.

johnfn responds:

Yeah I think there was a rendering glitch. All the chiptune sounds got replaced with weird orchestral instruments.

[Inner Heat]

Nice to hear something new from you! Hope you are doing well :)
This is quite a relaxing listen ^ ^

Satyre responds:

Thanks for the rating. I'm quite good, even though making a depressed impression with this song xD
Hope you are all right too :)

[Desolate Dust]

I too am glad you decided not to let this piece rot in a folder! <3
The atmospheric sounds are nice, but I especially love the guitar and opera-style song :3

larrynachos responds:

The vocals were probably my favorite part. Glad you liked them too. Thanks for the review! :D

[Gunslinger's Code: Keep Moving Forward]

I wasn't expecting you to drop a track outta nowhere! Feels almost like an early Christmas present ^ ^
This composition is really cool! The style is really well defined throughout the song, the melodies are catchy, and the progression is nice :)
Even better, it also works perfectly as background music, since it's quite laid back somehow!

I absolutely love it! :3

P.S. I agree that we've always got to move forward, pretty much no matter what!

ChronoNomad responds:

Haha, I know right? I have indeed been pretty quiet on here of late, but still visit pretty much every day to check out new content, especially from my faves! I'm really happy to hear that you like the new track, and I'm rather partial to it myself, so it's nice to see that it's getting some solid traction. It has a lot of meaning for me, and feels like a nice way to break back into the music scene after a pretty lengthy hiatus.

To be honest, I was expecting something cinematic to come bubbling out of my mind, and then--BAM! This happened. I don't think anyone could be as surprised as I am, and quite pleasantly so. As always, many thanks for the excellent review! Be well, my friend. Excelsior!
