Totally awesome and I could get down and funky with this all night long.
Nicely done. I really love the bass (such a fan of the bass). Loved it and loving it more every time i listen to it. Very few Funk songs on herebut when I find one that's as kickass as this I listen to it over and over

With the bass started all the track.
I'm glad you like it. Thanx for review.

I got your e-mail, opened it up and went straight to the song. I listened and I loved it. Man that piece of scripture must have put you in the mood to make this piece cause it is fab.
Not to mention that I loved the reverb (as I do). It was great.
It could have done a bit more with a bit more instruments but I will give you credit for making something so awesome and simple.

It flowed beautifully and I loved the melody. I really enjoyed the piano. It's how I remember all the accompanists play the piano back when I was in singing school. It is very professional. I really liked it. On the other hand, the petal gave the chords too much time in some parts and it blended with other chords which made it sound a bit bad...but it didn't last for too long. I also loved the string section though I did not enjoy the MIDI. But the solo string was perfect. When that played it was gorgeous.
Anyway, thought I'd give you some criticism and there it was. Oh I loved the piano in the end it was GREAT.
Overall...AWESOME

Hey!
I'm glad you like the piano. That's cool that you were in singing school. :] Ah, sometimes my pedals last too long when the piano is synthesized, it's easier to maintain on a real piano. :/
Glad you like the strings, though they're not MIDI--maybe you just meant synthesized? Anyways, I wish I could record this with a real orchestra. :[
Thanks for reviewing, glad you enjoyed it!

I could totally see this in a Samus game. I don't know why, but the space feature here is just amazing. I love the idea of feeling space in music. I think it is awesome. I try to do it but it gets hard. How do you do this!!!???
Anyway, I really love this song. I especially love the first main melody saw I heard. I love that one instrument. What MIDI track is that???
Anyway....AWESOME!!!

The song is so short. Which is usually a bad thing but in this case it leaves me wanting to hear it again!!!! The texture is awesome. I love it. It is as if I am floating towards Heaven.
It is an awesome song and I hope to see it used more. I heard this great loop once where they then kept looping it and did more to it. I think it would be cool.
But besides the fact that it is a loop IT IS F***ING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I rremember this from GuitarHero and I thought this was great.
I thought you would have used "Noise" for the drums instead of regular old drums, so I do think that was an 8bit let down.
I was totally expecting the solo that I clearly remember ending the song in GH but I thought it was good all the same.

But i didn't expect you to go where you were going in the beginning. The beginning was the best of all of it. It was sort of African meets Asia styling and i thought you would do something on that sort of front, and then when it went to the basic dance tune i thought "oh...".
But then I heard some of it pop back in the background while the foreground was the dance tune. I thought that was well done but I totally expected a bit more (especially since I was way off track of what the tune was gonna be).
Besides that I thought it was good. There were some parts where you used a chord way too long and thought you would have used its derivatives (like Cmajor has F, and Ab while still maintaining the C note). I thought "Get on with it" it eventually did, but...
Overall it was good. I give it a 7.5 but there isn't such so an 8.
It was a good tune, I'll give you that, but as CO said (as I was reading his review, you should do more variant genres. I do like D n B so that's cool but maybe even stray far far away from Dance (even though all genres are connected in some way). Try out some classical. I mean alot of Dance music has a simple piano that, without hte synths, could be a simple classical melody line. Just sumfin (something) to think about.
8/10

However I would really love this to be longer and into a song. It would be awesome.
But good loop nevertheless
