Can I call it "peaceful" DnB?...

...If ever there was such a thing as "chill" DnB, it would be this stuff. This is really interesting, unique, not drawn off of the generic, etc. etc. The drum work is also really good. I think it fits really well with the quiet complement of the piano. It also has this bit of silence in it which I like; sometimes I feel that the silence is more powerful than the sound. People should make more stuff like this, not all that chaotic stuff lol. Really, you inspired me to try and write some chill stuff lol.

Thanks, man, glad I inspired you :D

I can't say this is an original concept though. Look up a guy named Nubbinownz, he's really good at chill DnB glitching. He's amazing.

[Scanning The Shadows (1 Note)]

holy god, that's complicated!

What the hell? I've used the event editing and arpeggiator before, but not nearly to that extent. So you did this all, technically, with one note? Wtf man...That's pretty insane. That takes some technical prowess, no doubt. For that, I give you a ten!

[Embrace (Ambient)]

Beautiful

Dude, it's amazing what you can do with just one instrument. It reminds me of like Imogen Heap on the piano or something like that. It's one of those songs that moves you without too much interference. I also liked how you added that distortion to make the piano sound like a guitar. You've blended a lot together, and faded the gap between what the piano is and what you're making it sound like. Really artistic; it moved me.

Let's get your shit back to the top...

I'm really sorry that there were ppl that bombed your shit after you made that post, that really sucks. This stuff is mixed really well, even if it isn't really my style lol. It reminds me of basshunter a lot. Keep triplet-ing your ass off bro!

Thanks bro. My most recent songs have been bombed like crazy, but oh well, what can I do about it :). Thanks for the support. :D

[[CS] TetrisHardcoreRemiX]

Good remix man!

Damn I missed the even 350th review by one mark...oh well. Your stuff is really good, you've got talent and DON'T EFFING LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO BASH YOU cuz they really really suck at life. The mix is perfect, the drums are great, the beats are mixed up nicely, and everything blends together really well. Plus that 8-bit gameboy-style stuff mixes in perfectly with everything else (thank you also for not repeating it longer than any normal human being would wanna sit there and hear it! lol). You have an ear, and that coupled with your own willpower is all it takes to make it to the top. I look forward to hearing your stuff in the future!

Haha. Thanks for reviewing and your comments mate =D

[Fox- Awesome Heavy DnB]

Wtf, wow...some people just suck at life...

This is pretty damn nice, and the guy who 0'd you is absolutely dumb. If you listen closely enough, it obviously has a dnb beat (whether it's looped or not doesn't matter; it works). While the arp is quite staccato and at parts leaves something to be wanted because of the lack of "space" in the song, it still lines up with the song (it's so fast that I think some ppl get it off with the beat in their heads =\). A few other good things about this song: At 0:40, I might be biased cuz I'm wearing double bass headphones, but there is PLENTY OF BASS on my end, and it sounds really good. I also like that triplet vibraphone thing you add 0:05 to 0:07, and again at 0:38 to 0:41; it reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 3 a hell of a lot. I think the EQ'ing is fine; it might be weak at spots, but when will it ever be perfect? The nay-sayers blew this outta proportion: THIS ISN'T A BAD SONG WHATSOEVER. My only suggestion is that you add more substance to the bass - and be careful labelling it "awesome heavy dnb." In my opinion, I like it =)

[Everything will be alright]

Nice! Reminds me of the Toonami dnb beats

Dammit! This is the kind of ambiance I wanted for MY next song. Way to jack it! Lol jk. This song is really, really good. It just took me back to the good ol' days when Toonami existed and I'd catch up on the DBZ action. If you need vocals, this might seem like a strange place to look, but try out some of the metal band Opeth's stuff, especially "Ghost of Perdition"; they have this really jazzy vocal part in the middle-end of the song with some bizarre chord changes, and it would fit well with the changes in your song. It's a little bit slow, but I dunno, I figure it's a good place to start for some vocal inspiration. Good luck man, and good stuff!

[.:Z:.Running With Scissor]

Wow...

This is pretty damn awesome, man! I admire the fact that it's through-composed; it almost seems like it has this breakdown halfway through, and i can see the metal roots. Jesus. This = inspiration! Awesome man!
