 | Das experiment Reviewed: October 30, 2008 Artist: Terry Experiments are good. I always love when people have the guts to experiment, as there's often a new track that is something we never have heard before resulting from that. And this track is certainly something new. I suppose it may not be accessable for all listeners, but I like the idea behind thi | Read full review |
 | Do You Ever Wish You Were Still Alive? Reviewed: October 28, 2008 Artist: athos This track is certainly something. Starting with a catching vocal this track immediatly grabs your attention. After that the electronic sounds, get on in a very catchy manner. The combination of pianos and heavy basses, might sound out of tone when you listen to it for the first time, or when you' | Read full review |
 | Alone Reviewed: October 27, 2008 Artist: bvanoudtshoorn It sucks to be alone, right? The artist took the feeling of being alone into a nice tune. The track is neither joyful nor sad, but just the right feeling of being alone, and how that feels is just for you to decide. I do hear a very beautyful tune, I'd definitely listen to again. | Read full review |
 | Standing on the brink of forever Reviewed: July 03, 2008 Artist: bvanoudtshoorn Everybody has a moment to doubt things in life, especially when huge changes are gonna take place. The artist tried to put that kind of feeling in a song. The result is a calm track, that is not extremely cheerful, yet it sets a positive mood, and a pinch of sadness in the same time. It has a catchy | Read full review |
| Beaty Of Melody Reviewed: June 18, 2008 Artist: Insu Conflicting it was to rate this track well. Most of all this track does show potential to be a great trance track. All elements that could make it so are in it. A simple melody for an opening, clear sounds and a very good build up. A few break-ins on the right moment to prevent the track from becomi | Read full review |
 | Waltz Reviewed: April 21, 2008 Artist: bvanoudtshoorn A nice relaxing pop tune this is, though I must admit I was expecting something strauss-like when I saw the title in my review queue until I saw the genres. Knowing a thing or two about dancing I did try out a waltz on this one and it certainly has the speed of the Viennese Waltz and it's very danc | Read full review |
 | 2010 Reviewed: April 21, 2008 Artist: Likuid The track certainly has potential, even though it's not entirely flawless. All elements to become a great track are certainly in place. Let's get into detail on this, shall we.... | Read full review |
 | Nebula Reviewed: March 20, 2008 Artist: Ivory This track certainly has all it needs to be a wonderful piece. It got melody, it got variety and it got something to enjoy. The track has a very "easy" feel which makes it very nice to listen to. | Read full review |
 | Given Up (Inspiration Edit) Reviewed: March 19, 2008 Artist: roncli This is a very nice sounding track. The lyrics are very nice. A problem I had at the start of the track is that the music is louder than the vocals making it hard hear what the singer is actually singing. When the singer starts to sing louder later in the track that problem gets solved. We see that | Read full review |
 | Prelude to Android Rebellion Reviewed: March 19, 2008 Artist: Din A very nice electronic track that sounds very good, and is very much fun to listen to. As the title said "Android Rebellion", you can imagine this track to have the image of a hi-tech world. The track really creates that picture. | Read full review |
 | Imaginary Enemy Reviewed: March 05, 2008 Artist: reduz A true chiptune that immediatly catches your attention. A nice sweet melody that really works out. I like it. | Read full review |
 | The Breaking Point Reviewed: March 03, 2008 Artist: Din This track really has something. According to the info provided by the artist I should have the idea of a hi-tech world where things as androids are quite normal. It is indeed the idea where this track would really fit in. The percussions are pretty fast, but not chaotic, and the melody is despite t | Read full review |
 | Bonesaw - get low(er) Reviewed: February 27, 2008 Artist: TwiTerror As a gamer I always like to hear tunes that are based on or written for games. Having played games like these I am imagining myself playing an action game hearing this tune in the background. This track really serves its purpose. BTW. I love the "Ghostie-Boo" :) | Read full review |
 | Module Sixteen Reviewed: February 26, 2008 Artist: roncli I have to admit that I was expecting something completely diffrent by seeing the genre "New Age". However this track did not disappoint me. The nice and slow intro is really interesting, after that the track becomes a bit more lively. | Read full review |
 | escaping insanity Reviewed: February 14, 2008 Artist: slammy "Escaping Insanity". I'm quite familiary with that phenomenom. (People who are close to me should know). This track tells some kind of story. And I always like to see people putting something like that into music. Of course since it's the story of a mad person trying to escape insanity, you have t | Read full review |
 | Still Living Without You Reviewed: January 29, 2008 Artist: Renzo This track certainly has potential. It has a nice and slow melody. But it has a few flaws, in the same time some strong points. | Read full review |
 | A Lost Dream (Draft) Reviewed: January 28, 2008 Artist: TwiTerror An RPG-style track in *my* queue? RPG video games are *my life*, so anything RPG related something I'm really picky in. So let's hear.... Something to bash down here? Eh... No.... Seriously, I fell in love with this track by hearing the very first notes. Since I'm a true RPG player (and developpe | Read full review |
 | Sigh of Excitement Reviewed: January 28, 2008 Artist: roncli This track is a nice track. It's as well nice to listen to, as to have at the background while you are working on something or having a chat. The track has enough to make it interesting, but in the same time it's not opressive, and that makes the multiple purpose possible. | Read full review |
 | First Embrace Reviewed: October 30, 2007 Artist: Daeran I suppose this is Gothic that sounds like how Gothic is supposed to sound. Heavy and melodic in a good harmony. Good vocals. This track offers everything I love about this genre. | Read full review |
 | Song For My Love Reviewed: October 29, 2007 Artist: Renzo This is a pretty enjoyable track. I liked listening to it. It has a charming melody and never gets boring. | Read full review |
 | Mexican Lace and Celtic Knots Reviewed: October 28, 2007 Artist: Din I actually never knew there were music composers for PlayStation. But I suppose it does not really count what console is used to create music, after all it's the result that counts. A nice guitar sound that creates a Spanish feeling. I do like that. | Read full review |
 | Una bala hace 3000 años Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: Likuid The track starts good, and is nice and slow. I was conflicted about rating it. The piece is good in many ways, but somehow it misses something that really makes the track impressive. In the rest of my review I'll try to put in detail why I think that as. | Read full review |
| Reindeers jumping through fired donuts Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: Gazus Snake Chiptunes, I remember that when I first heard them I had a little trouble. Lateron I became to love them. This one has really that in a chiptune which you can either love or hate about them. I do like it. With 1:48 it's very short, but it's not that it ends when it has begun. But of course that's | Read full review |
 | Don't Look Back Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: VOiD It's hard for me to review this, since I hate blues and jazz. But I do like this track somehow. The track has a good mood to it, that makes it very pleasant to listen to. | Read full review |
| Lying 6 feet under and the sun still burns (extended editon) Reviewed: July 05, 2007 Artist: ozostomia I love classical music. And I also like rock. And I also love the combination of two music styles. And that is what this track has to offer, so the foundation of a great track has been made here. Alas there are a few flaws that does affect the rating greatly. The track starts greatly, I especially l | Read full review |
| Elemental Wind Reviewed: July 04, 2007 Artist: Spectral the Projection This track is a soft-natured one. It brings electronic sounds together in a calming mix. The track does never get dominant, and perhaps that's a good thing. | Read full review |
 | Zhou Mo Hao Reviewed: July 04, 2007 Artist: Likuid When I hear this track I do think about Asia. So that makes that the effect the artist wanted to create has been created. This is a hard track for me to review. I like the track though I must acknowledge that the chords are repeative. It does not bore me, though, but it does indeed make the the trac | Read full review |
 | My c64 Reviewed: July 04, 2007 Artist: mickrip There was a time that we believed that 64KB RAM was more memory than you'd ever need. A time that we didn't curse to Bill Gates because the computer crashed. A time that you could throw a computer out of the window from the 40th floor and still use it without problems afterwards. I miss those year | Read full review |
 | Aliens Raped My Baby Reviewed: July 03, 2007 Artist: syflom I must say that the title "Aliens Raped My Baby" is a little questionable. Perhaps this tune has a little chaotic feel, but you get into the spacey mood. But just when I start to imagine the aliens coming to "rape my baby" the track stops. In other words, the track is very short. What I heard is to | Read full review |
| Transcension (Indian Fantasy Mix) Reviewed: July 02, 2007 Artist: mysterium This track has a calm nature. It slides slowly. It's overall not a bad track, but for me it had a few flaws. The potential is certainly there, though. | Read full review |
 | Daddy Pulled My Tooth Out Reviewed: July 02, 2007 Artist: DuskWire This is a hard piece for me to review. I like the setup, no doubt on that, but there were some parts a little disturbing for me, but of which I think some my like it. For that it's hard to give a fair rating. Well it would be either 3 or 4, and after long thinking I decided to rate it 3. | Read full review |
 | The River Of Tears (Single Edit) Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: Renzo We do got something that sounds nice and interesting here. I'm not saying impressive, but the track certainly has the potential to become that. I like the sound of the pianos most and they do carry a good tune | Read full review |
 | Cent Main Theme Reviewed: July 01, 2007 Artist: roncli I'm really curious to see the game this tune is for. Since I know nothing of the game it's for, it's hard for me to say if this tune will suit it right, but as a piece of music on its own, this tune on its own, it works out very well. This is a very good rock tune, and in the same time, it would | Read full review |
| Jambalaya Reviewed: June 29, 2007 Artist: Qumran This track has a very nice feel. It builds up nice, and gives me a good mood. It's only hopelessly spoiled by the vocals. That's a pity | Read full review |
| Arachnoid Reviewed: June 28, 2007 Artist: thecanary I can take alot. But I'm afraid I cannot take this. I apologize, but this track is in one word chaotic. Very rushing drums, make this track make me feel stressy. The instruments are old school, so I have to be forgiving, but they too make me uneasy at feel. | Read full review |
| Distance pt. 2 - Rivers Reviewed: June 28, 2007 Artist: lilelk This is a pretty nice tune. Nothing special, just a nice track to listen to with no needless extras. I liked listening to this track. And I will listen to it again. | Read full review |
 | Death of the Faceless Man Reviewed: June 28, 2007 Artist: DuskWire The intro is simply magnificent. Alas as the tune goes on, things turn not out so well. And that is trueley a pity. This track has potential. It has a very interesting line, and will never get boring. Distorted instruments and a few chaotic sections are where it goes wrong. And once again, that's a | Read full review |
 | Faeries Among the Weeds Reviewed: June 28, 2007 Artist: nepsus Fairies. I love those. I always did, and I probably always will. So I was happy to see somebody dedicated a song to those little humanoid creatures. Personally I would have searched for a difrent approach. More music box like sounds, I think. Instruments that could depict the flying of a fairy leave | Read full review |
 | 04 Space Odyssey Reviewed: June 28, 2007 Artist: yasahi I can imagine watching a documentairy by Discovery Channel. Seeing the stars and the deep void of space before me while listening to this track. I can imagine a deep voice of the narrator telling the things about space while this music sounds in the back ground. This track certainly carries the mood | Read full review |
 | Just Another Summer Medley Reviewed: June 27, 2007 Artist: DuskWire Slowly and relaxed. You don't want to do too much on a hot summer day, do you? I do see the lazyness that is causes, like a guy with a big Mexican hat lying under a palm tree and I guess that was the inspiration of this track. | Read full review |
 | On Fire: Part I: Fire In My Heart Reviewed: June 25, 2007 Artist: roncli When I read that this track was inspired by "Chariots Of Fire", I had great expectations. Chariots of Fire is one of my favorite songs out there. Well, this song is not really a remix, which I was expecting in the first place, but that doesn't remove the fact that this song is still great. It has a | Read full review |
 | Everytime Reviewed: June 24, 2007 Artist: roncli This is a love song, like many others. So perhaps, it not that this song really adds something new to the genre, but the song isn't bad either. In fact, I like listening to it, and I think it wouldn't do bad on a love song album. Writing good lyrics for a love song is pretty damn difficult. First | Read full review |
| Jungle Fever Reviewed: June 22, 2007 Artist: mysterium A very fast drum line works out this song nicely. With a few extra instruments and sound effects the song gets very interesting. | Read full review |
| White Rain Reviewed: June 22, 2007 Artist: mysterium This song has a beautiful concept, but I got to be fair in my judgement, I got the feeling it doesn't work out the way it should, which is really a pity. It pains my heart that I got to say such stuff, as this is a piece in which a lot of work is put, and I can hear that clearly. | Read full review |
 | Song of the Cross Reviewed: June 22, 2007 Artist: roncli A track in the style of the good old tracker days, and it makes me remember why I liked those tracks so much. | Read full review |
| Atmospheric Light Reviewed: June 22, 2007 Artist: mysterium "It's not about the music, it's about the energy", eh? I'm very pleased that the first song I gotta review here on the brand-new TiS happens to be in one of my favorite genres, when I read that this was a song in Enigma-style, I had very high expectations.
