[Encapsulation]

Oof. I'm overwhelmed. I don't know why, but when I listen to your work, I always have a kind of movie playing in my head. That song that you both made is epic. I really liked the strong part at 2:50, but the whole song sounds and is epic, no exaggeration. I also liked the ending after the stronger part. It was a great way to end the song after that final climax.

Your song is fully worthy of his score and my 5/5. I seriously hope that you'll "Step" forward and do some even better songs with Echo, you are both Epic musicians. (With a capital "E")

(English isn't my native language, so don't mind if I did a few grammar mistakes or anything like that.)

Keep it up! ^^

Step responds:

Wow, that's some really high praise. I can't thank you enough. The strong part at 2:50 is something I'm particularly proud of, mainly since there was so much hype to get to it with that long buildup that once it finally comes I just threw everything I've got in it to make it sound as "massive" as possible. I wanted to add something climactic in there to highlight the enormity of the biodome I guess.

Your English is perfect by the way.

Thanks a lot for reviewing, means a lot!

[DJ Theof - Control]

I kinda disagree with the guy below me. I actually think that using a certain instrument more often than the others is like a signature for an artist. I wouldn't to a live concert to complain about the guitar always being used.

As for the song, well, it was really great. There's two thing that I didn't really like, however. First, it's not really a major thing, but I think the song is a little repetitive. Second, the ending was kinda disappointing.

Like you said, this is a 2011 project, so I believe that those problems are already fixed with your other songs.

Great work! ^^

TastyTeo responds:

i agree with you ^_^ thanks for your tips. the guy below me just did not know i guess, well anyway i think that's a crappy project too so i wouldn't disagree with anyone. Thanks for the review

[Melody]

Not so bad! The song itself is quite simple but that's not too bad. However, I dunno about the genre. I don't really think it should go in dance, but that's my opinion.

Here's the main thing I didn't like about the song : the soundcracks, or whatever it is called. It is quite annoying. If you could reupload it without those, I think people will appreciate more your music.

3.5/5
4/5
Good work!

Audio-Monster responds:

Hey,
I'm not really sure what you mean by the crackle, when all is it at? Sorry, I don't hear it but if others are I'd really like to get it fixed. As far as the genre goes, I had a really hard time pinning this to one, what genre would you say it is? I ended up just going with dance, even though I new it wasn't right.
Thanks for the reply, see ya next time.

[Conquest Of Paradise RMX]

That's awesome! I always found that doing 3/4 music is really hard, especially when the music is energetic. It looks like you mastered that. There's only two really minor details I didn't like. First, the choir sounded... strange. I think that maybe something else could have fitted where it was playing. Second, the bass was repetitive. I don't really mind the bass, but some people already or will point that up.

So, great work! Keep it up!
(Don't mind my bad english, it isn't my native language. 'Hope you at least understood me.)

5/5
4.5/5

TastyTeo responds:

I Wanted to make the choirs bassy that's why they sound strange. The Bass Seems repetitive yeah but if the melody is not repetitive and the whole song have much variety it isn't that bad, my opinion is that the bass must be repetitive and dry. Now for the 3/4, i haven't mastered the 3/4's it's really easy for me to make melodies on 3/4 but no way, i have much more to learn :D Thanks for the wonderful review!

[Just a Pony feat. Vexal]

Wait... Why is this rated so badly? I usually hate rap or other things like that, but this one was quite more enjoyable! ^^ I must say, I usually hate other raps because there isn't any melody in the background, or it is almost unhearable. This song is really awesome! Also, I usually have difficulties listening to English songs because it isn't my native language. I found it surprising how I could easily understand the lyrics. That's a good point too ^^

However, nothing is perfect. One thing I didn't quite like was the more quiet voice. It sounded a little weird. And I didn't really like the ending, but it isn't a major point.

Overall, that song was awesome! ^^ Keep it up!
(4.5/5, 5/5)

[Walk,run,jump]

It needs more work.

I must say, that intro was long, even if there was some melody and drums adding up, it felt too repetitive. Also, about that drum, you really should add some variety so it. It also needs an actual ending with a grand finale like a build up or something similar. Anyway, the melodies were quite enjoyable, but they were too repetitive. I would have liked to hear a different melody on the different samples instead of adding a new sample for each new melody.

Finally, this song is quite enjoyable, but you will need to work a little more on it.

2.5/5
3/5

[The Return]

I really loved it! I can't say really much about it, it just sounds awesome. I really liked the bell and the guitar parts. I also like the drum patterns, it's always hard to have good percussions in orchestral songs. Five out of five rating/review! ^^

stunkel responds:

Thank you so much!!! This review made me smile! I'm really glad that you liked it! :) And thanks for giving such awesome reviews!

[BONK - The Scout (TF2)]

Well, that was awesome! I must say, I love how the samples fit perfectly the music. The reason I gave it a 4.5/5 is that the ending wasn't really satisfying, but, still, this song is awesome! ^^

5/5 rating and favorited!

corndl responds:

Thank you very much ! Any suggestion for a better ending ?

[Fire Emblem-Move Out! Rmx]

I can't say really much. Your instrument choice was perfect to me, the only thing I didn't really like, however, is the long violin sound that plays through the whole song. I must say, I never played Fire Emblem on the Gamecube, but if it's in the original song, just ignore that last thing.

Anyway, 4.5 rating and a vote of five!

stunkel responds:

Oh why thank you very much! I am glad that you liked it! And I didn't think that was so noticeable DX I tried to cover it up but I guess not DX Thanks for the review though!

[Stranded]

*WARNING, shitty english.*
That music was quite awesome.

I must say, I loved it! At the begining, just before 0:20, I instantly thought of Metroid other M. What I love about songs is when it makes me think of other songs that I love. Anyway, for the song itself. I really liked the build up in the whole music. However, the background bass (Not sure how to call it...) is getting quite repetitive near the end. I however, don't know how you could change it to make it sound better without ruining the song's impression.

Anyway, that's pretty much it! I really liked it! ^^

stunkel responds:

Thank you! :D And yeah that's the biggest complaint about the song I get, it is a little repetitive. I actually made this for somebodies outro on youtube. But I appreciate you listening! I hope you come by to review some more of my music
