[The Lion Sleeps Tonight]

haha nice.

i remember my group covered this song, and would you believe it, our tenor was able to hit that 4th above the lead part! damn, that's high, isn't it? anyway, this is a really good arrangement, and i like how you take care to each individual part of the song; our group just kinda rushed through it, which made it a little less epic. but anyway, i love what you did to it. just one thing that bothered me: the vocal percussionist seemed only to cover the major divisions in the tempo, but i'm not sure if that was him or the mic (at some points it's too soft to be able to tell).

FolegAlmighty responds:

Thanks man! Glad to hear from another vocalist.

It's actually not a group, it's just me layering my vocals. Which, since this was years ago and I was just learning, contributes to some of the weaker points in the song. Thanks for listening and commenting!

[Shaman Part 3--_--]

Beautiful...Absolutely beautiful.

This is just another misunderstood song in the NG collection, and it's really fucking sad. This song is so cool!!! And it's like twice as dark as anything paragon's ever created. This is raw and fantastic. I've always been fascinated with the way you've tuned your drums on these songs. I also love the way this song opens, with the strings; people open it and they're like "wtf? this isn't dnb!" then they give it a few more seconds of listening and then they're like "oh...nvm." that vocoder filter thing adds a different dimension of darkness to the song. you, my friend, have got some talent, and I really hope you keep submitting stuff!

[Beat it-Metaljonus]

Nice job on that solo!

Nice job overall! I give you uber props on that solo btw; that is not an easy solo to conquer by any means, and I can empathize from first-hand experience (damn Van Halen!). I really like the darkness you exhibit in this song; it really takes on a life of its own from the original. Honestly, I've never heard a better cover, and I searched on the web and Playlist too! Good job man, nice tribute. RIP King of Pop!

Not too shabby my good sir, not too shabby...

Nice remix, my friend. I like the industrial sound of the drums, with that ringy sound to them. It's pretty dark overall, and its ambiance is quite creepy at times. The only reason I give you a 9 is because of the quality of the audio; I understand that the 8MB limit prevents this to a degree, but I would at least recommend bringing up the volume in the lowest and highest frequencies to give it a more stereo sound - something I myself appreciate more. Still, very good; it kept me listening! =)

thanks your useful review ;)

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow]

Hail to the Queen!

Something I've noticed about all of your songs is that the drums are so crisp, deep, carrying and compliment the bass well. I now see why you would spend 4 weeks developing just one song. Another thing is that, especially with this airy and awesome installation, you've inspired me to develop similar, albeit experimental, music, in its own right. All I can say is keep up the awesome work, and thank you!

[nF-Fallen VIP]

King, my friend!!!

Jesus christ, this is something to bow down to. The drums are beautifully created, deep and crisp how i like em, and the drumwork itself is superb. the bass isn't hollow like a lotta ppl have it; instead, its omnipresent, and that triplet LFO you got goin on it totally adds a different dimension to the 4/4 time signature. one more thing i enjoy: that synth doesn't sound produced by any other method than a pro keyboard; reminds me of a rave remix of a pendulum groove lol.

[[ turn around ]]

Plen-t of bass my friend...plen-t!

Really different, and the drums' tones are superb. The bass is so righteous it sometimes overpowers everything lol - which really isn't a bad thing (gawd i wonder what it would do to car stereo!). the only complaints i have: albeit that the song is relatively short, it's pretty repetitive. i understand that it's the nature of dnb to be repetitive, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun with the main melody. i was hoping the drums would get glitched up a little but it never happened lol. also, that acidy synth you have for the main melody has too much bass in it, adding a dimension of distortion to the beat. this is still i cool jam though bro, don't get me wrong! that bass is worthy of royalty lol

boney-man responds:

"that acidy synth" is meant to be a part of the bass lol. this song wasn't supposed to be melodic.

also, I don't particularly like glitchy drums. i never glitch my drums, sorry :D

glad you enjoyed it though

[20thousand]

Really chill

What's interesting about this song is that its got high-end energy coupled with a super easy-going ambiance. The only criticism I have is that its a little bit repetitive, but I understand that your focus was in the intensity of the drums which was, of course, superb (apparently that first guy who reviewed your song didn't read anything you wrote in your comments section). All I can say is, seeing as I haven't submitted anything in about 1.5 years, I've become a little bit inspired by this song.

Triskele responds:

Awesome, glad you liked it! Big compliment that this got your creative juices flowing somewhat.

[Christmas Rock!]
