[The Countdown (Epo_2)]

Damn

Very awesome. Sounded slightly repetitive, but still awesome.

[~Alfa~ Reach for the Sky]

great

The intro really got me hooked. Very well produced. The sound was very atmospheric which I loved. The buildup was fucking awesome. The climax made me drool a bit lol. I never download tracks from NG and I think I'm going to have to download it. The only big thing I'm going to complain about is the fact that the melody could have been 10x more epic and I would have jizzed xD . Still though, great great work. Keep it up.

[Repulse (Shortened version)]

Good concept

The song itself was good. I liked the concept of the song. I didn't really like the chord progression you had for a while, but it sort of grew on me. Nothing completely astounding, but it was an enjoyable listen. :)

[Don't Take Me Away - Preview]

Critique

Now I know you might think I'm hating on your track, but I'm just trying to help/critique. Sounded way to simple in my mind. There was nothing unique about it. There was usually only 1 or two instruments playing one note at a time, which made it sound really flat. Try adding chords or more percussion to it and make it more interesting. Simple can be good, but you need to make it interesting. My suggestion would be to study some of your favorite trance songs and attempt to recreate them. Try youtubing some tutorials as well for the program you're using. The song seemed to be lacking in bass too, so maybe add a louder synth bass or something. Now I'm assuming you're just starting or have started not too long ago, so I salute you in your efforts. It's really not that bad for not being extremely experienced as others. Keep up the efforts man, if you have any questions feel free to PM me.

5/5 (so others can critique :] )

[Solitude <WIP>2]

Alright, but...

I fail to see how this fits under dance. The piano is nice though. Pretty atmospheric.

Diavalos responds:

Well if there was an electronica genre, I'd've put it there. It fits here better than pretty much anywhere else as I believe misc. is for stuff like ringtones and sound effects. I'm glad that you like the piano, I was going for an atmospheric effect with it.

[+- Everlasting Energy -+]

Terrible

This is really bad I'm sorry. I really really hated this song. The intro was lame and everything else just made me drop kick my cat from frustration. I thought it was my headphones but then after showing it to my friend on another computer, he proceeded to intake a large dose of sleeping pills with alcohol. I don't know what's going to happen to him now. Thanks a lot shithead.
