Hey! MGS!

This has the quality to be either the background theme or the menu theme for a great PS3 or Xbox action/shooting game! I love the distorted like snare, and really just the feel of the song TOTALLY gets to me!

I love the notes, very mystical and action filled at the same time. Really tense feel over them and they just really dig deep into your brain, ive been humming the tune ever since i heard it the first time. My friend, THIS, was amazing!

Great work, this deserves top 5!

10/10
5/5

Awesome, great work!

Thank you for your time.

VERY cool!

Hey man, this was just incredibly awesome, the beat was awesome just through the entire thing, and your use of sub sounds was awesome. Really detailed track with a lot of interesting stuff going on! =D

Good job on the mastering, it sounded really good!

i am giving this a ten, cause i went through it 3 times, enjoyed just as much every time! A perfect track for a background theme!

10/10

:} hahah thanks man and yeah i put allot of ambiance but some is hard to hear unless you separate the sounds in your head.

[Eclipse [Apoptygma Tribute]]

Like the new style! Has some of your old to ^_^

I have to say that your music just is unlike everything i hear on Newgrounds lately (Thats right, Newgrounds with a capitol N) It has so much energy and everything is just so god damn perfect, its like you take every transition, every bridge, just everything into account when you are making a song, i like that. Perfection.

I like the start, dont know what the hell that first sound is. When you hit the tiny vocal clip and start, im just waiting for the awesome kick. It finally came after a VERY short while, as said your music has alot of energy, i think the beats you use are part of doing this. Very original hihat line and a snare i think instead of a clap, and as an add to that your kick is just at the right place.

I love the synths, very powerfull and clear, not to much or to little delay or reeverb.

As i also said, i think you take EVERY transition and bridge into account when you make a song. The construction of this song is just so perfect, and when you reach the climax i just start loving this song even more.

Current Score
4.00 / 5.00 (+ 0.082)

I see your daily 0-voters have already raped this one, me and you both know that this song deserves a better score than this!

10/10
5/5

Awesome song, perfection. The beat along with the synth job is so powerfull.

Thank you for your time.

SkyMarshall responds:

Haha yeah. Just as the carpet bombers of teh zero makes their innitial approach to wreck the day - you come along with this awesome review. Loved it.

The start of the song is actually an Amiga 500 loading up a disk. I thought it was fitting, with the old-school Amiga-kicks and percussion and such. Hehe :) Glad you liked the somewhat strange choice of beat and percussion. I worked a lot on it to make it "industrial" and different. I guess it achieved som drive and energy. At least I hope so.

As you say, the transitions are important. I actually do work a lot on those. The reason is that it makes the song thump along much smoother and sound interesting.

I do love your thoughts here. Makes it all worth while.
So until next time man ... :)

[Circles_DJ Sanryd]

Great track, could go Benny Benassi's way!

Now if you ask me, this track could be a really long Benny Benassi club hit, listen to some of his tracks if you havent already - Satisfaction and Whos Your Daddy.

Nice one this, i would love for a more Benny Benassi style, because its there, it just misses some of the flavour, love the little reverse reeberb thingys you got here.

Current Score
3.98 / 5.00 (+ 0.21)

Awesome, Benny Benassi style!

Thank you for your time.

Sanryd responds:

OMFG, I did not even see that, but you're right... this could become a Benny Benassi style... i need to do some changes obviously to the main synth and beat, but its there.... THANK YOU... Let you know when i have an update.

[.HLS. Russia Privjet (Live)]

VERY good remix! =D

I like that you did a live version, very cool idea. And i gotta say that this remix is among the best ive hear, great job man =]

[Crossing the Threshold]

Hey man, great song!

Very good song! Liked it alot, actually a little bit of a flowing feel to it, only things i just kept thinking about was when is the climax coming and that how you could have maybe added a bit more hardness to the song, i know its maybe not like PURE techno hard stuff, but i think that maybe having some more bass and harder kicks might help you out.

Ill first ''help'' you with getting a more hard sound, now i THINK that i hear some preset FL kicks in here, if they are VEC (vengeance essential clubsounds) i would recommend to use a harder kick sound from it, but im pretty sure this is an FL preset kick. What you do is go to www.thepiratebay.org and type Vengeance Essential Club Sounds vol 1 and 2...download them both and also download the house essential, vengeance really have some good drum sounds! And really sounds in general that you can have alot of fun with, i advice you not to rely on bass/synth sound from Vengeance samples, i see you wont be needing them though, since the synth/piano in this song is a really good sound =]

Now a climax is just a part in the song where everything comes together, and kind of just settles the listener, this song had VERY good parts, but it never came together all in one part, it was just more of a song with parts rather than a song with parts forming to be a song, in other words i can say that the song lacked ''a point'' Now i think that construction and overall energy are two VERY important factors to carefully consider when putting together a mix. You have your intro, your verse, your chorus, your bridges and so forth, this song i would say consisted mostly of an intro, bridges, and then an ending, the verse and the chorus was missing!

Beside that, dude, this was an awesome track! As said the parts that were in was very good, catchy and very complex and original! I hope to hear more from you soon, and please feel free to PM me when more is out on NG, or if you just want to show me something in private over MSN or something, this was all in all a good song!

Current Score
4.74 / 5.00 (+ 0.014)

8/10
5/5 [I can hear that alot of work went into this song!]

Nice song, but had some faults, but beside them, i hear a very good track =]

Thank you for your time.

Michael425 responds:

thanks for the review man. This stuff helps a ton. I was just thinking about downloading Vengeance and "Nexus" {{i think that's what it's called}} right after I finished this song. I'll try to work a good climax into my next song for sure. It sounds like that's what everyone wanted. Glad you liked it.

[(Dj-NX) Essence]

Ah, great song =]

I like this song, calm and very energetic at the same time.

As always i love your melodies, they are so FRESH! =D Love them, also youv gotten better at breakbeat and drumbeats in general, your transitions are fucking awesome now, and the overall construction of this is just so good =]
