[Sonic Breaks his Neck]

Funny as fook

I'm a huge sonic fan, and i never imagined sonic having a northen accent after seeing all the crappy american T.V. shows so, but saying that i thought his voice was killer, as were all the others. Also a very good choice of music in the flash. The nose thing really made me cringe (dunno... maybe im just a pussy?) but it was still funny, all the jokes were good actually - especially the amy suicide. Nice one dude.

[Float On beta(2.0)]

O.k.

It'll be pritty sweet when it's finished, love modest mouse and that song and i thik the locks work pritty well. The video could do abit more story telling though.

SirAwesome responds:

There will be, still have to work on the video a bit more. You'll see Mine Lock as he runs around high pretending hes floating. Thats a hint.(Wink Wink)

[The Child That Smelt Odd]

Very Insightfull

This was so utterly brittish, still awesomely funny though, very dry humour. Some of the comments in the film were really truthfull aswell, like the "from here to the contstruction site" which sums up brittish youth in gerneral really. Your best flash by far, its still dark but more story focused. Top bombing.

[GodClock: Introduction]

Ok...

Wasnt bad, but shouldnt he have been killing locks?

[Punk - Classic - Volume 1]

Good Start

I agree with one of the other reviews i read, could have done with it being a little more expanasive. Maybe a timeline or something like that, charting the start of punk with the ramones, sex pistols maybe even take it all the way back to the velvet uderground, some call that punk. Mybe afew different style to go with afew more bands. It'd be cool to see some brittish stff too, not many people are aware of the wealth of good british punk that exists.

[Brink of Alienation 2]

Good Game

This was wicked, kinda reminded me of the old "streets of rage" games on the mega drive, the way you work through a level and get to a boss at the end. The changing of weapons was cool aswell.

[JAG~On the Blip *]

Nice tune

Iv'e only really just got into this style of music im more used to analogue recording than digital so take my opinion at your leisure...

For starters this tune should be longer, i think the chords are probably nice enough to expand on a little more, only problem is it needs more variation. The automation is really nice but maybe somemore melodic ideas or a breakdown/ keychange involving afew more chords, maybe some maj7's or 9's, straying a little from the well trodden path, or somethign like that. Then briging it back to the original theme with all the intrumentation going on, it'd sound really nice and powerfull but stil have that mellowed out feel.

I'll stop whining now...
Great Tune!

This should have been alot better

The Guitare riffs at the begining are superb, i dont get why you felt the need to try and make i rocky so soon, if you have a longer build up (so long as it doesnt take the piss) it makes the contrast of the rocky section more musically satisfying. You should really re-rcord this as the whole bit in power chords is out of time with the drums and it could be excellent so its worth the hassle. Also i dont quite get whats going on with your mix things kept fading in an out when you should have got a sudden change or no change at all. If this is a problem because your only using a four track come up with a way of mixing everything down onto one track, if youve got a hi-fi at home that records onto tape use that. Also a change in key or chord progression would be good if your to lengthen out the piece. Any way I'll stop whining, you should re-record this it would be excellent if you did.

AndieCiambotti responds:

Well, thanks for the advice.
The truth is that this was my first song, done with crappy mp3 acoustica mixer, me on guitar and drums and I can't believe I have a score of 5/5.
Thanks everyone for voting! I sincerily didn't expect to actually have a better score that Alan, I can't believe that.

Thanks to everyone!

[The Woods of Deep Cove]

Good

I think this is really effective. The piano, string and voice midi is very cool + haunting, however the midi drums suck. Even so they need turning up in the mix. You should get someone to play the drum score for you, this is really good stuff and is probably worth the hassle.

Slayer-of-trolls responds:

Hah. You're like the 5th person to say that about the drums. I'd like to play this with a real drummer for sure. So we'll see... Thanks for the review!
