Artist: Kruser
Please note that I have judged this song on its own merits, that is as a 30-second song that could not have been longer. Judged in comparison to other songs on this site, a more appropriate score would be 2 stars. You can tell that the artist had a plan in mind with this song, but I don't think it

A very enjoyable piece reminiscent of the good old demostyle. Simple, yet impressively used instruments and inspiring arpeggiators almost elevate this track to 5 stars, only being held back by the lack of a lead melody of some kind. Do not hestitate to download this piece, it comes highly recommende

Artist: toxi
This track shows that the artist has the potential to make some great music with practice, but in itself it fails to inspire. There are two main flaws here, first and foremost being the complete and utter lack of a bass instrument. This kind of music pretty much requires a bass instrument to supplem

Peaceful Life (RoflCore Remix).mp3
Reviewed: July 07, 2007
Artist: JBL
The original track by Tricky was a charming, if flawed, tune. This remix takes all that was good about that track and sucks it out, leaving nothing but dried out, grotesque remains in its place. Avoid at all costs. And no, it's not a funny track. At all. Don't get fooled by the genres listed, the

This track has some neat ideas and executes them with a respectable amount of success, though there are a few issues that keep it from being truly memorable.

Unexpected Visitor
Reviewed: June 29, 2007
Artist: solo
I often find myself comparing music I hear here on TiS to soundtracks from various games. Unexpected Visitor starts out similar to the Worms ambient soundtracks by Bjørn Lynne and the soundtrack to the sadly overlooked Moonbase Commander, then takes a turn for something else entirely. The track sou

Artist: ree
This tune brought me back in time, to an era of 8-bit arcades and the Commodore 64. I could easily see this piece of music being part of a car game or something similar from that period. At a technical level this track excels and should be a joy to listen to for anyone who enjoyed gaming in the 80s.

Artist: thekhin
This track puts me to sleep, literally. Given that the artist seems to have intended for the listener's mind to drift away, this is a good thing, and comes highly recommended if you're more interested in the relaxation than the music. If you're looking for interesting melodies, riveting transitio

Reviewed: June 26, 2007
Artist: thekhin
An interesting industrial piece that attempts to take on new ground, yet succeeds only halfway. Sounds a lot like something that could have come from games like Half Life, but with less detail to keep the listener's interest with and a slightly problematic arrangement. This would work very well in

Changes
Reviewed: June 25, 2007
Artist: Void Pointer
A very enjoyable but short piece that evokes dark and strong emotions. The artist experiments with sounds to create a unique atmosphere, and succeeds at making a piece of music that I would recommend to anyone with an interest in the genre.

On Fire: Part I: Fire In My Heart
Reviewed: June 23, 2007
Artist: roncli
I was very conflicted when writing this review. I feel the overall score for this track should be somewhere between 3 and 4, but in the end I went for a 4 as the strong elements outweigh the less strong ones. "Fire In My Heart" is an inspired, uplifting tune with a focus on the piano and bright stri

Battle Tune #1 - The Fairy Tale
Reviewed: June 23, 2007
Artist: Tricky
I'm always happy to see people compose music for computer games, as it's something I myself aspire to make a lot of. Sadly, this attempt at a battle theme fails at every level, not even reaching mediocrity.

Reviewed: June 20, 2007
Artist: roncli
A very nice and catchy track that immediately draws comparisons to the classic Airwolf theme. I must admit that I have a particular fondness for the cheesy rock soundtracks from the 80s, and this track doesn't disappoint in that regard. The track is clearly inspired, but there's nothing groundbrea
