Awesome!!!!!!!!!

This was an insta-download, 5/5, 10/10.
I've never heard the original, but this is just awesome!!
Aw man, It's hard to find songs of this genre on NG, all there is are random fl studio beats.
True, the melody isn't yours, but hey, its a remix..
Great song!!!!!

Setu-Firestorm responds:

Thank you much. =)

Not really a fan of ambient..

But this would work really well.. Seems like one's near an ocean, where there are just waves crashing against the shore, at a peaceful evening.. Really peaceful and calming.
I found the bass overwhelming, but maybe that's what you intended.
Oh well. Great job..

D-ROCK-B4DK responds:

yeah the bass is kinda loud , i have trouble recording sometimes and usually i dont wanna re-record it , i guess its lazzyness on my part , thanx for the review i notice people download and dont give a shit about writing a review.

You use nexus?

The beginning was great. I like the layered piano and strings.
The drum beats were a bit too sudden and loud, it'll sound nicer if you lower the volume.
The melodies you used are a bit simple, and the bass doesn't seem to match the melodies at the second measure.
Honestly, try not to use the really common chord progression unless you feel you can make the song unique, this sounds similar to many other songs on ng.
Oh well. Great try for this song. This has some potential to become even better.

OverTurnMusic responds:

Thanks for the respond, Yes i use nexus but im trying to stop with it and make my own sound. Thaks for the tips i will think about it when im making my next song.

This is.... great..

The beginning did give this a great intro, it started with giving this a really sad beginning..
Then at 0.59, the whole mood changes, seems like something bad is going to happen...
at 1.19, the whole thing seems video gamey, seems like an epic fight scene has sprouted out from this sadness.
Honestly, the transition at 0.59 isn't really that smooth, but it works.
I really like the last part, the synths you used are great, really creates a video gamey mood.
But it seems at 2.26, the synth seems to be dissonant, but I think that was how the song was intended.
What I really appreciate are the drum beats, I don't think i can make something like that..
Great job!! You really did a good job creating a mood throughout the song.

I appreciate these long reviews! Been a while since I posted, so it's nice to get good feedback. What I was aiming for was the following:

Intro: Lurien realizes that whatever force is inside her mind has slowly won against her own consciousness. Ideally after all the main characters have undergone some drawn-out measure to counteract this, she must tell everyone that all their effort has been in vain, and that they have lost. Lurien only has time for a few last words before her body will no longer be hers.
0:57 : Lurien is trying to admit something she has been hiding for a long while, such as "I love you" to one of the other characters, but is cut off mid-sentence as dark magic suddenly thrums through her mind. She can only say "I love y-" before she cries out and begins to thrash and scream, losing her mind and body forever. She momentarily falls still until one of the other characters reaches out a hand to her.

1:19 : Lurien leaps to her feet and begins attacking those she once called her friends, screaming curses in a language that fouls the ears and calling upon vile powers she never had in life. The rest of the song displays the incredible mental duress of the other characters as they must suddenly fight for their lives against an unreasoning killing machine they once called an ally.

2:16 : This is just me being a dick. I purposefully brought in Lurien's Triumph in a minor key, just in case you forgot who you were being forced to kill. At 2:26,the synth changes slightly to be more distorted, representing the ultimate corruption that has infected this innocent life before you.

Also, my brother is a metal drummer, so that's how I know a few beats.

Hmm..

This song is rather good..
This song has a great progression, I like the chords you used. Just that not much tension was build up throughout the song.
For this genre, I don't think making it repetitive will do any justice. You should probably work on adding variations to you tune..
The synths you used are great. I like them..
Overall, pretty good song. :)

Calm..

Awesome..
I think this will make a really great trance intro, you really built up energy well.
I just find the beginning was a bit too slow, but it ended well.
Synths don't really get introduced well, maybe fading them in and out will help a lot.
The song is also a bit bass heavy, you might want to lower the bass in the final version.
If you can build this up into a really epic trance tune, the song would be great!
Aw man, i just love the ambient pads you put into this..

(and ignore the previous review. It is a troll o.o)

Vian88 responds:

Glad you liked it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts as well!

...Great.

You rock at making melodies. They sound really catchy, I like them.
This has seemed to improve in quality as compared to your previous songs.
I think the break at the middle was a bit unnecessary.
Honestly, I was hoping for some really hard electric guitars to play at one part of the song, but this is your style, no hard sounding stuff.
The synths and kick could be much punchier, would make this sound much nicer.
This could be you best song yet..

balderdact responds:

yea my first three songs were made on garageband which is pretty restricted i think
now that i have logic studio im trying to figure out stuff from what you mentioned in the reviews so thanks for reviewing :D

Cliche..

I think you overuse the really common chord progressions.
True, I like the melodies, you're great at making them, but one does get tired of this chord progression, and you really gotta spice them up with something more unique.
Well... Seems like you use the same synth all the time, it does sound good, but a bit bland.
You should try and work on making songs sound fuller by synthesising your own instruments, this way you can have a greater control of your sound.
Keep in posting more great songs anyway, I kind of like this.

balderdact responds:

yea im still trying to figure out how to do alot of stuff hahah
