[Some More Cartoon Jazz]

ANOTHER cartoon jazz? Wheeee. Now this is more jazzy. Catchy elevator music. I sort of wish there was a tiny bit more with the drums; a little syncopation. But for a menu loop, this is perfect. Another well done.

[Super Cartoon Jazz]

I agree with the Pokemon Stadium Mini-games comment. But dog construction workers, I can visualize that too...I see them sitting on the beams eating their dog food lunch hopping in time to the beat. Maybe like the tune to those black and white cartoons where everything has a happy face and is hopping to the music. Oh look, it's called super cartoon jazz. Well done. There's nothing wrong with this little showtune.

[!-Passage-!]

I just started dancing really gayly to this. It at first reminded me of Super Monkey Ball 2 music. But the chimes and the dubstep quality halfway through gave it a little extra oomph to sound different. Wow...I really like this. I think the strings around 2:00 were a little off-putitng, but that's about it. I mean, maybe the mix of the main synth could be toned down a little, but blasting it in my face is also great (that's what she said). Anyways, really cool song here! The pauses were added in accordingly and breakdowns were awesome. Fantastic song!

Atundra responds:

Wow thankyou for the beautiful review!! :)

[Punkmetalguy31 Voice Demo]

Can I just say that I love that voice at 0:22. Anyways, what a versatile set of voices. At 1:04 I thought of Nylocke, Dragon of Superhero Greetings! (especially the way you said "greetings") That can only mean you are destined for greatness. Such a plethora of voices is quite enviable...quite...

But yeah...great stuff here!

thank you :D I had others planned but I did not have much time. I will be doing more very soon ;)

[Journey Through My Mind]

I definitely like how this is split into different parts, like the different environments in a real journey. That opening part got me pumped, it sounded like the introduction to a really epic DnB action soundtrack...and then it wasn't, which was both a pleasant surprise and also a disappointing one. This journey through your mind sounds like a mess, and I mean that more in a good way than a bad way; it's artful. The dissonance and blatant differences in all of the melodies express how chaotic it must be in there. Sometimes the piano part, and especially that string sting, seemed out of place amongst a predominantly synth-based song. Other than that everything else is pretty cool, especially the beat and that beginning part. Nice work!

Athanatos responds:

I liked the way you explained everything, and I'll keep all that in mind while creating the 'Part 2'.

[Jazz Ballad]

You hit that jazz nail right on the head with a groove hammer........

You mimicked the atmosphere of a studio or an actual place very well. And if this was actually recorded live, well shoot forget I said that. There's honestly nothing off about this. You've got your quintessential instruments, a catchy melody, and a perfect duration. And to top it all off, it ended out of the ordinary, making it stand out. I imagine a hoarse voiced man reading a melancholy love poem. Or y'know, the typical high class restaurant setting...or a dingy bar. This could fit with so many scenarios. Perfect work!
