"Very good!"

submission: Highland Dream, Celteach Grá

date: August 31, 2007

Aside from the fact that this is a nice melody and very well-orchestrated, your instruments sound fantastic. My only complaint is that you overuse portamentos during the first half of the song. To sound authentic, you should really only be pitch-shifting the last one or two notes in a phrase. It makes it sound almost more Middle Eastern than Celtic when every note in a phrase uses a pitch bend. Other than that, though, I can think of nothing else to improve upon. Fantastic job!

Score: 7

"Good job"

submission: City of Illusions

date: August 26, 2007

This is a pretty neat piece, though it does seem to meander pointlessly at times. I really like your piano sample, but your violin sample drives me up the wall--it sounds like there's a fly in my ear, more than it sounds like someone playing an actual stringed instrument. Overall, good work.

Score: 8

"Sorry"

submission: Death of a Ranger

date: August 26, 2007

I kind of laughed too, honestly--the title is just funny in juxtaposition to the actual music. It makes me think of a dead power ranger, and combined with the extremely serious, sad music, I just have to giggle.

Musically, though, this piece is well-produced and pretty. It's not the most original thing I've heard by any stretch, but I'd say it deserves a solid 8/10.

Score: 9

"Very nice!"

submission: Defcon Zero [Orch] -MrMaestro-

date: August 26, 2007

This reminds me a great deal of some of the music from Final Fantasy 6 (in my opinion, the best game of the franchise, musically). Very well done.

Score: 10

"Beautiful"

submission: Un petit morceau in A minor

date: August 17, 2007

This is a really gorgeous piece of music. For some reason, it reminds me a great deal of some music from Chrono Trigger (the music from the End of Time, perhaps?) Anyway, this has earned a spot on my favorites list. I'd love to find a way to work this into a game. ;)

"Good, but off-time"

submission: Cornelia Castle (FF1)

date: April 7, 2007

The production in this track are very good, but the performances are way out of time with each other, ruining what would otherwise be a catchy, strong track.

Score: 8

"Pretty good! A problem, though..."

submission: I AM DOWNTOWN MIAMI.

date: July 13, 2006

Weird. The streaming button for this track just produces total silence for me. I had to download the song to even listen to it. You might want to contact Newgrounds tech support about that, man. And here I was, all set to give it a zero, thinking this submission was a practical joke... :-)
