[My Retribution]

pretty sweet

i gotta be honest however, the song got kinda repetative really quick, for future refrence, i suggest using a wider variety of instruments, change the drum beat at the shout chorus or atleast change the chord progression. i dont know wat program ur using so im not gonna comment on intrument choice or sound, but i can say that the chants got pretty old pretty quick(i didnt incorporate that into my score cus i know some programs only have one or two different voice sounds)

man a lot of you NG people DO NOT UNDERSTAND this Track was MENT for some one to spit on... like really man you know how hard it is to rap over a really heavy song? you know hard its to flow when the Panning bounce? im using FL just like 90 of the people on NG I used a lot of shit you might know, Nexus Vangaurd, ect ect the Voice East West Chorus the really really nice one that is a fuck ton.

every one on New Grounds says that same thing, repetative, its Repetative, Repetative, you know what you reviewers are very REPETATIVE! on the comments, songs will have the same build... its music its hiphop even your Techno danceo music does the same thing, im sure if I looked right now your music (if you even make any) is repetative to a point, no one on NG is a millie Prodoucer.

[<PS> Colors of the Mountains]

well done sir

i noticed u asked for suggestion and feedback so here goes:
this piece definatly gave the image of a chinese rural area, so the imagery you used was spectacular. the instrument choice couldve been worked on a bit to reflect more of an oriental feel, and i realize this may have been more of the writing programs fault than yours, but parts such as :30-:42 didnt really seem to sound too pretty from the slow violin sound. the cello soli around 1:35 didnt really seam to sound pleasing at all to be honest. u definatly did do well with a pentatonic scale, as its often hard to make the transition for alot of composers to go from western to oriental music

[When Gods Do Battle (full)]

Needs a bit of touches

I gotta say, i really liked the overall shape of the song, i truly did enjoy how u contrasted the different phrases and the ending phrases blew me away. i tried doing the same thing with my recent song (i found urs cus i was gonna give it this title actually :) you did an extremely good job of making a peaceful-sounding phrase more kick ass than the previous movement. however, i dont give reviews without some critique, so here it goes.
the harmony u used with the trumpets was really well done, but a hamronious technique u should look into for the intro is a drone: having a harmony play long, dynamically shifting notes on the tonic, thisll really help bring out the trumpets. after the percussion comes in, the lower bass/timps couldve been more articulated, while i read that u use garage band, you couldve made a difference by simply putting in rythem instead of rolls and sixteenth notes. also, the cymbal bell part was more annoying than anything. the bridge was good, i wouldnt change anything about that, but after the repeat, it wouldve probably sounded better to raise the trumpets up a fifth or an octave and bring them a bit out. raise the violins too, they seem to have a really cool part. during the last repeat, some more cymbol swells would have definatly added color to the part, which honestly got a bit repetative. when the lower brass comes in, u used great chordal techniques, but it went from being long tones to fast sixteenth notes, try putting the sixteenth notes in with the long tones as a harmony, which crescendoes as the phrase moves forward. the guitar part was a nice touch. especially since it came onto a peaceful phrase, nice technique with the finale.

ok, so your reviewership has topped that of Krayon. lets get that out of the way.

i dont really know what i was thinking when i put this sone out. i dont want to remove it though because i have gotten so many helpful reviews (3 is a record for me). none of the above changes are included, but a final version of this project has been released, which is very similar but extends the length and variety of the ending.
