 | Into the Jungle Reviewed: July 17, 2008 Artist: TiLT A soundtrack-type, atmospheric piece that sounds as though it solely exist to generate a relaxing mood. While the piece succeeds at providing a good atmosphere, it also comes across terribly flat in terms of dynamics, relying on layering to raise and lower the energy in the song. While this does w | Read full review |
 | 140 días Reviewed: May 12, 2008 Artist: Likuid A track that's above average in sound quality, but woefully short on creativity and a cohesive arrangement. The song seems to drag on with an overly simplistic guitar melody and a piano that tries to help define the song, but gets lost in the arrangement. | Read full review |
 | New June Day Reviewed: May 05, 2008 Artist: Likuid Overall, a moderately inspiring pop-ish tune that relies on the piano to drive the song. But with the low quality of the instruments used along with an arrangement that leans on an unemotive piano far too much, this song just does not work out well. The score is more of a 2 to 2.5, but doesn't qu | Read full review |
 | Keep yourself In Motion Reviewed: February 26, 2008 Artist: Davinz An uninspiring dance piece with a long intro, lots of unnecessary repetition, and a few technical problems with some of the samples. The one thing this piece lacks is energy, which can best be changed by giving the arrangement more things to do, this piece is in sore need of a creativity kick befor | Read full review |
 | Hybrid Reviewed: February 25, 2008 Artist: slammy A simple trancer with piano rave breaks at times. There's really not a whole lot to this one, but there doesn't have to be. Unfortunately, it seems some of the finer details were neglected, and while this song is still quite enjoyable, it doesn't quite reach its full potential to be really ente | Read full review |
| Luci's Indecision Reviewed: November 29, 2007 Artist: cdnalsi Luci's Indecision is a nice, slow, improvisational tune jazz ballad with a unique atmosphere. This is a two part song with a really slow first half featuring a beautifully played horn and a more upbeat, yet still relaxed second half featuring a piano. The slow tempo of the song and the patient pe | Read full review |
 | Metaphora Reviewed: November 15, 2007 Artist: Daeran Gothic metal at its finest. Tystnaden brings together a professional sound, creative songwriting, and a superb performance for a complete listening experience. Even those who aren't fans of this style will find themselves enjoying this one. | Read full review |
| The Healers Reviewed: October 08, 2007 Artist: Gollum A lot of good ideas were put into the beginning of this one, but this demostyle piece is plagued by extremely poor sample quality, mixing issues in the percussion, and a lack of creativity towards the end. The arrangement is what shines here, as the artist clearly has a good understanding of what i | Read full review |
 | The Capture of Elai (Draft) Reviewed: September 14, 2007 Artist: TwiTerror A fun action theme with excellent sound quality and lots of creativity squeezed into a short space. Only a few minor issues are found, including a sudden ending and missing energy that an action theme like this could really use to put it over the top. Still, worth checking out, good orchestral fun | Read full review |
 | Le Gang des Poussettes Reviewed: September 07, 2007 Artist: TheBeetlestones A fresh take on Sergeï Trofanov's "Moldova", this piece combines a bit of drum'n'bass flavor with classical, resulting in a very unique sound. Excellent instrumentation really transforms the original into a distinctive sound, and the additional instrumentation is very solid. The only complaint | Read full review |
 | 6¶wÎ¥Ðe¥9¨¿ Reviewed: July 24, 2007 Artist: John Marwin A two-part experiment in noise and Renoise. The first part has an unsteady relaxing atmosphere to it, but the second part just sounds like total chaos. There may be a pattern here, but it's undetectable to the ear, and not immediately obvious in the source. What strikes me is that this seems les | Read full review |
 | Peaceful Life Reviewed: July 19, 2007 Artist: Tricky A flat, cheesy song, played badly on a Casio. While nothing is out of tune or technically wrong with this song (besides the bad playing), there are lots of sound quality issues, including the level at which it was recorded at (turn down the volume before playing this one). A basic understanding of | Read full review |
 | A Bridged Divide Reviewed: July 16, 2007 Artist: slammy This new age ballad is an epic. Weighing in at 18 minutes and 36 seconds, and a whopping 21.27 megabytes, one thing a potential downloader must be thinking, is this worth it? Well, it's most definitely worth it, as slammy, the king of epics (sorry, Azo!) lays down another large track with all of | Read full review |
| The Library Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: TiLT A dark orchestral track, with a solid arrangement and above average sound quality that comes together to form the perfect atmosphere for some old, creepy library. A bit too bass heavy and not the most creative piece, but the song is certainly enjoyable to listen to. | Read full review |
 | 63 Remix (Extended Version) Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: Glacier A very well arranged dance tune that suffers from poor sound quality, due mostly to poor encoding, but also partly due to untuned samples and the occasional out of place sound effect. | Read full review |
| Distance pt. 2 - Rivers Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: lilelk This is a rather repetative song with nothing short of terrible percussion. The mixing on the percussion needs an overhaul, as they seem to be over-reverbed, resulting in a ton of noise from just about every percussion instrument played, and is most clearly evidenced at around 3:40. There are also | Read full review |
| Distance pt. 1 - Mountain Trickle Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: lilelk Mountain Trickle features an interesting mix of good quality electronic and real instruments that do not always work well together, but do provide a good relaxing atmosphere. The one instrument that stands out in this piece is the lead guitar, which doesn't play often, but spices up this otherwise | Read full review |
 | Battle Tune #1 - The Fairy Tale Reviewed: June 22, 2007 Artist: Tricky A poor attempt at creating old-style console game music. To improve, first thing would be to redo the whole arrangement and focus more on what is needed to create a battle-like atmosphere. Battle tunes usually don't sound cheerful like this, and good battle tunes fill the listener with the feelin | Read full review |
 | slammy vs reason Reviewed: June 20, 2007 Artist: slammy I'm not sure if this bass qualifies as "phat", but you get more than your fair share of its thickness in this crazy tune. Featuring crisp percussion, amusing sound effects, a good old slammy-stylee lead, and bass thicker than molasses in your freezer, this song is a perfect example of how music ca | Read full review |
| Bridge to the Universe 2 (Into the Void) Reviewed: June 19, 2007 Artist: mysterium A fairly standard remake of Bridge to the Universe. Unfortunately, this version doesn't add a whole lot to the original. The main problem with this song, and the reason for the low rating, is the sample selection for the lead at the beginning that is used a couple of times in the song. The probl | Read full review |
| White Rain Reviewed: June 19, 2007 Artist: mysterium A spooky atmospheric piece with, for the most part, good sound quality. However, the song has an unpolished feeling to it, almost as if the artist took one run through writing some parts of the song and never went back. Still, the ideas in this track are quite nice, and fill out the near ten minut | Read full review |
