[Cyan]

Your strength

This kinda tune seems to be your real strength. I really enjoy your rhythms and melodies when you just groove along and bust out something quality like this.

The flute(?) at 0:52 adds a nice layer, though it sounded a tad too synthy for my liking.

Beats seemed near-perfectly placed.

The melody was complex and it's still not predictable despite my listening to it a load of times over the last week. I still love the way you meander whilst returning back to the main melody.

All in all, this style seems to be your forte and I can only hope that you continue to work in this area, maybe experimenting a bit on your journey.

You've been faved.

[Adrenaline*]

Not the most 'pleasant' loop.

I like how the intro goes into the fast melody quickly and the couple of cooler sections you have - at 17s and at 29s to the end - work well. I thought it wouldn't loop pleasantly becauseof the small buildup, but it overcomes that slightly by having a fairly equal amount of the 2 tempos.

However, because the main melody is quite simplistic, it does get annoying quickly.

I can only hope that your game doesn't force us to listen to this for too long.

I did actually kinda like the melody - slightly jolly despite the minor key.

[<Me & the expression of me>]

calm, yet nerve-wracking. Yet a tad dull.

It sounds like you've got one loop repeated 4 times here.

it is cool - kinda peacful, kinda tense, kindea suspenseful...

It's also kinda empty - not sure if you're hoping for it to be used in a combination with other stuff, but it's a tad uninteresting as is. Maybe because it's 4 tiny loops.

Conal responds:

Nope, the whole thing is one loop, no double's or tripple's or quadrouple's in this song.

[Gothclawz Beat]

A nicer form of real static.

Doesn't loop too well - kinda breaks the beat.

It kinda sounds like a horse running, with static added. Amusing for 12s maybe.

Unenjoyable. I suppose it's more enjoyable than 'real' static, yaknow? Could be used for that...

Watching a horse dance with a static tv!?

[Robot Sound Effect: 1]

A robot moving? Camera scanning?

Actually does remind me of a robot moving. Or a bunch of other things.

This seems to loop well.

Small application though it might work well in a specific point...

Conal responds:

It sure might!

[Robot Sound Effect: 2]

Angry Robotish sfx.

I'm guessing this is meant to be an sfx rather than a loop.

It does sound like an angry robot and I could see this being used a couple of times as a robot rampages towards our hero. Or maybe in a game, for when some robots first spot you.

A bit harsh to be used constantly, but it sounds sufficiently 'robot-ish'.

One of those things that has a tight application, could sound good for that one use, but is otherwise a tad annoying.

Anoyying could help spam flashes... You never know.

[Why the Night p8]

needs a tad more clarity imo

I like the intro beats and guitar. The melody of your vocals is cool too. Not too sure about the harder beats that come in when you start singing though.

I liked the melody that came in at 58s, but it kinda sounds like it has some static or is badly recorded or something - the tune as a whole just isn't that clear at that point.

I think your vocals need a bit more strength to them, spit out the lyrics and let us hear those consenants, get a bit more power...

I actually felt at times that if this were cleaned up a bit it could be a cool track. reminds me of the vibe of some other pro groups, though which ones... that escapes me.

Anyways, good work. Just needs a tad more clarity imo and maybe some more development with the drums and bg melodies.

Again, I need to record this song with an actual band, with some decent mics for this song to reach its full potential. And I'm no vocalist, but I have been trying to get my voice stronger, and unfortunately, I haven't written a song in a while where I can stress that... but yeah. Thanks a lot for the feedback.
