[It's Raining and I Can't See]

Once again, I'm flattered that I'm being credited at inspiration for yet another song. And a truly beautiful one at that!

The rain sounds so nice, in combination with the guitar and the piano. The melodies are simple and very effective, and most importantly, they sound incredible. I love the chords in the middle section, all the way to the end :O

The production is wonderful too. I wish I would learn to mix well as quickly as you did xD
Alas, I don't have much time for that atm. But sooner or later, I will have :)
This is a very inspiring composition! Favorited :3

larrynachos responds:

You're an incredible pianist, and I aspire to be able to produce a convincing piano piece that sounds just as real as a live performance.

I wish I could have done more with this track. At around 2:14 I wanted to have a soft accordion or something, but I had just about run out of energy for the night. I slapped on a crappy ending and exported it. The piano chords sound fake to me, as I didn't change the strum times for each chord, and the mixing was minimal, with slight EQing of the guitar, rain, and piano.

I'm really glad you liked it though. I hope you're not patronizing me or something :X

[Call of Spring]

This is a really nice track! It's nicely balanced, well mixed, and has a lovely blend of sounds.
Added to my favorites :3

EctiBot responds:

Thanks Lucid :D. Really glad you like it :)

[Hong Kong]

Such school, much sadniss :(
I can relate, unfortunately :/

But, summer break begins in a month or so for me. Just some 14 essays to finish first...

Oh, and also, this track sounds 100% LunacyEcho. So it's a pass :D

LunacyEcho responds:

Good luck with all your essays! So many essays. SO MANY ESSAYS.

[Megalovaniacal Tendencies (Undertale)]

I'm in a bit of a hurry, so no long review here, but somethinggg...

I love this take on the song! Even though I haven't played the game yet, I've heard tons of versions of this piece. And yes, this is a great one! It really drags the listener in. I think it's a combination of your effective bass and drum work, along with the other instrument picks (which I really enjoy) :)

The loop is almost perfect too (I mean, it basically is, but...). I can hear the slightest of click noises if I really want to at the loop, but I think that with most speakers and headphones, no one will notice :D
This was not really criticism though, just a random observation!

Nice job!

ChronoNomad responds:

Not bad at all for a guy who's in a hurry!

Yay! Knowing that you like my version makes me happy, even though it seems to have taken something of a hit overnight score-wise. Ah, well. This was my second experimentation with sidechains, and I thought I'd done a pretty solid job with it, but it's no surprise that there are some who will disagree and won't end up liking my vision for some reason or other. Hooray for the subjective nature of music! ;D

Yeah, that little tiny almost imperceptible pop...ugh! It really bugs me. I'm not sure why it's there at all, to be honest. In FL Studio it loops seamlessly, so I'll see what I can tweak to remove the looping anomaly. A totally legit observation, man.

Many thanks for another fine review, good sir. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

[Sunset Showdown]

Dude, this is like the most incredible thing ever :O
I love this genre of music, and you represented the style perfectly! I can definitely hear how Morricone inspired you :)
I love the melodies, progression, rhythm and the instrumentation. Your implementation of the sfx sounds add a lot to the track too!

I'm glad you chose to make something like this :D
Wonderful job!

Mattashi responds:

Thank you Alex :)

[UNHOLY CACE]

Nice little thingey you made here :D
And Happy Birthday to LunacyEcho, in case he reads this ;)

I'm pretty sure the only way to fix the title would be to delete the track, and upload a new one. But I kinda like how it turned out. And yes, every song one writes for a birthday is perfect, by definition.

P.S. Nice job on the comedic timing of the last note :p

johnfn responds:

Everything is perfect...

...

even the title?!?

[The Other Side]

Oh wow, this sounds amazing o.O
I'm really happy I could be part of this track, even by way of inspiration. Easy favorite! :O
A lot of cool stuff going on, and I love it.
Amazing job ;)

larrynachos responds:

As always, your review warms my heart. Thanks for dropping by, LSD!

[A Spook in Bale Manor]

I don't have the energy to write a full review right now, but you should know that this is a really nice track! I love the style, and all the details, like the slowdown and the arrangement in general. Favorited :3

Azhthar responds:

Hey! Thanks! Actually I hoped you like it, since I used a musicbox ;) With the arrangement I wasn´t so sure, since I just repeated the A part at the end. I thought it might get a bit boring but maybe this is just me since I listened to the track so often while I made it...

[Gröne Lunden]

This is a wonderful rendition of the old folk song, to say the least! Both of your voices are amazing :O
The arrangement is beyond beautiful, and the playing of the instruments, such as the Chinese flute, is splendid :3
I could (and just might) listen to this for forever <3

etherealwinds responds:

Thank you for your kind review as always!

[-Conspicuous-]

This sounds awesome, dude! Let's hope that "The Voice", France, doesn't steal it :O!!

Seriously though, good job, as always :3

Waterflame responds:

Haha, Yeah, lets hope so. thank you :D
