[Supernova (NGUAC 2019)]

Nice intro. the introduction of the bass and beat takes a while to kick in but when it does it is really cool. I like the melody and the supporting chords. It gets a little repetitive. down around 2:30 is a nice intro of something new.

Shima33 responds:

Thanks for listening!

[Unyielding]

Good start. really gets ya going. it has some power to it! It transitions very nicely. Got a little long before the calm but the double bass didn't hurt. I would have gone with a different bass for that melody but it works REALLY well. love it. A perfect fusion. I'm fucking in love with this song. Is it spoken for? Like, can I take it out sometime? On a date maybe? Oh. My. God. and then it fades out because of course it never stops. This baby just keeps on going. Great job!

MozesX50 responds:

I REALLY appreciate it! Means a lot, especially coming from you! I've always loved your work.

[Intact - Nathán Dzul]

Good chords at the start, muffled beat is nice. I know where this is going and I like it. Nice harmond?? bwop bwop bwop, I keep saying to myself. Good build! And those drums get a little more intense which is just what I was hoping for. Nice second half melody and instrument choice. a little break beat would have been ok. But I get it in terms of the build. and then BAM!! Nice. I like that choir. It's beautiful but I would have liked to hear a little more destruction to change things up. and then it just ends. but why?

NathanDzul responds:

Thanks for the feedback.
About the last part i actually wanted to make longer but i ran out of ideas (probably in the future i update this track and make a longer version because i also really think i could've make it longer)

[Bio - Skyland]

Strings at the start with the bass are great. Nice beat! Nice bass. Nice drops. I like the chord progression. I wasn't sure about the 1 minute mark but you made it work very well. I can see this in a video game soundtrack. I can't help but think that the second half is just the first half repeated. Not that it's bad but it could have changed during that middle drop. That last build up was killer. But again, a little more variety in the 3rd act could do wonders for this. It ends the way it should.

BioHexagon responds:

Yeah, I'm probably going to update this track after the end of NGUAC's Knock-out round, since it is not allowed to update tracks it when the judging phase is happening.

[Beyond Gravity - Beyond the Horizon NGUAC Entry (Instrumental)]

I like the beginning intro. Comes in strong and fast. I can tell where it's going and I like it. The drums are great for this type of song. I can see this in a Final Fantasy game. Is that you playing the sax? It gets a bit stagnant before the 2 minute mark but not too bad. Those scales though... Nice. I think I would have left out the sax at the end.

BeyondGravity responds:

Thanks for the Feed back! And no sadly I can't really play any instrument, no less afford one. This is a lot of midi. I am pretty much self taught when it comes to the keys. Planning on taking lessons in the near future.

As for the melody going stagnant, I agree with you there, At the time I was rather satisfied with what I had made. Perhaps when I get the vocals for this song I will change up the melody a bit more.

[Soulfire]

I love the vocals. Has that feeling of adventure and struggle which is awesome. I like the beat work. It drops into a really beautiful melodic build up and sustains through percussion. Around 2 minutes it kinda turns into another song but then mixes in with the previous one seamlessly. Your description is very accurate. Not sure about the end. I miss the piano and then it's over.

aRho responds:

Thank you for your review!

[The Princess of Destiny (Zelda's Lullaby Orchestration)]

Take everything you've learned and give us something directly from your brain. Very well done!

SuperTonic64 responds:

Thanks again, cheshyre! :)

[Coarse Sand]

This is clean while also being dark. I love the timing of those growls or rewinds or whatever you used!

Spadezer responds:

Thanks. Yeah those are bass growls from Serum

["Never Fear"]

Sounds really full. Makes the changes it needs to when it needs to make them. Good timing. The melody is a little lackluster for me but the drums are where it's at!

Ryzmik responds:

Thanks for the review!

[Intelligence and its Discontents]

What a great idea!! I started doing the same thing with a short story I've been reading. I love this song so far. Based on this song, I must read this.

Razorrekker responds:

It is an absolutely *awesome* book, despite its 560-ish page length.
I'd recommend it to anyone and everyone who enjoys books with some magic in it.
I really hope to finish this and maybe get more people interested in the book tbh
