[Three whiskeys, please]

Cool celtic feel

Good 'Irish drinking song' kind of feel, but I think you should have gone for a violin melody if you were aiming for an Irish feel. If I may notice, you have quite a tendency of repeating the same note or chord a few times in a row. But hey, if it works for the idea you had, who are we to judge? XD

alternativesolution responds:

I didn't have any good violin sounds at the time D:
And actually, I wasn't aiming for the Irish feel until I realized it was St. Patrick's Day. So I re-listened to it (being an older piece) and thought it would be suitable :D
Of course, if it wasn't for that cello, this would sound very different :|

[Surrealist Sailing]

Beautiful!

Such a relaxing song with beautiful melodies. It really creates an atmosphere and feeling of being at sea. On a giant rubber boot, fishing for apricots. XD Loved the guitar melodic line, and when you put in the bass it gave me the feeling of an ending song for some a bit more serious submission.

Great song, listened to it 6 times in a row, made me a bit drowsy. Definitely good favorites material!

alternativesolution responds:

Fishing for apricots on a giant rubber boot? An odd image, I must say.
Cool :D I'm glad you liked it so much.
There was a certain pattern to the bass...Ending song, eh? I agree.
And wow..have you reviewed ALL my songs? :O

[Break into the Confusion]

Unexpected

I must say I never thought that the guitar would go that way, it was an interesting twist on a melody which was to be expected for the continuation of the song. A bit psychedelic, but with a nice violin melody and cool atmosphere. If I had to object, it would be about the cut-out sound of the violin at the beginning, unless that's what you were aiming for.

Really cool song, liked it!

alternativesolution responds:

I was aiming for a funky twist with a blend of instruments that would all do their own thing :P
Thanks again!

[[AltS]- Find yourself]

Interesting development

At first, I didn't think it could develop into more of a melody with a simple start like that, but you succeeded! The drums were great, but I think the bass was a bit too loud or had too much... well, bass. :D Loved the sound at the beginning (UFO?)

Possibly background music for a somewhat futuristic movie or game? It gave me that sort of impression. To tell you the truth, when the synths came in, the first thing that came to my mind was 'What Is Love?' for some reason.

Bottom line- good song, very dancefloorcharty (yay, new adjective).

alternativesolution responds:

What is Love? Haha :P
The bass is loud after the last chorus, but if you hear it boom any other place than that, then that was totally intentional :P

Relaxing

Hey, this song is really good! The piano arpeggios were very nice, and when the drums came in, it was just amazing! Very cool melodies with great relation between the two lines. The ending was interesting, because I really didn't expect the reversed notes in the ending of a song like this one. Quite original.

If I had to put this in a game, I would probably go for a puzzle game or any game that requires some thinking. because it provides just the amount of chill to prevent your brain from melting during difficult tasks. XD

Anyway, great song!

alternativesolution responds:

Hey thanks! :D

[Such A Simple Lullaby]

Chill out

Really cool song, especially considering the use of preset loops. I agree about the 'walk in the park' feeling, it really does create that impression. Anyway, really nice stuff to chill-out to!

Btw, if you like stuff like this, check out my latest song. (yes, I am a self-advertising dumbass XD)

bevermaly responds:

Hmm.. I have a feeling I should change the title of the song if everyone starts thinking its more of a walk in the park type of song. Anyways thanks for the review and I'll go check your stuff out right now! (I don't mind self advertising dumbasses xD)

[Needless Information]

Good

Well, generally, it was a good song, but it could use some improvements. The lead guitar sounded slightly out-of-rythm, the main riff wasn't all that inventive, and the background hum was a bit irritating. Make those corrections, and it could turn out to be quite a good song.

[Lights of The Water]

Not bad

Pretty decent, for a first submission. I liked all of the sounds except the one that continues from the start of the song. This being your first, you just might make something out of yourself on the portal. Really nice stuff.

P.S. Don't worry if your score mysteriously drops in a few minutes. Those are the so-called 'zero-bombers' works. It can't be helped, so just don't lose your temper and check the topic 'Zerovoting and Exposure' on the audio forum.

Good luck with writing songs!

[.:Unholy:. Death Demo]

Another masterpiece

More great stuff, dude! Really does have Dew-Scented intensity, DragonForce sweeps (not in the gay way XD) and great piano melodies. This kicks the ass of people who aren't even born yet.

And I'll take your word on those sounds, I've been looking for good guitar and other more metal-oriented samples. So, PM me when you find the time.

Cheers!
