Nice work, I really like the synths layering and the mood of the piece. Lots of work went into this, I'd like to see more videos here on iC. Thanks for sharing! |

| Finding the Courage by anitric2000 | 1 year ago |
Wawaweewah! This was something else. Some very unexpected surprises here, especially when the electric guitar comes in toward to the end. I second becwil about the track breakdown, I should probably start doing that. In this I'm hearing a wide variety of influences, from the classics to Asian music to heavy metal, which is quite bloody brilliant if you ask me, well done. The only thing I could ask for is an improvement on the production side, with some levels tweaking and such, but overall everything sounded very good. Great job, thanks for sharing, and thanks for your comments on Autocons! Peace. |

| Let Us Improvise Motifs by becwil | 1 year ago |
Delightfully weird! The accordian was quite unexpected, until it was mentioned in the poem of course. The music reminds me of Blade Runner, until it just goes into psychedelic overdrive. This is my final listen of the night; I can't wait for the dreams that I will have evoked by this piece. |
|
| The Keening Spell (UF) by becwil | 1 year ago |
This was definitely different, but it most certainly fits the theme of digging for fossils and discovering the past. It actually also made me think of an archaeologist entering an ominous dark cave. Quite evocative, although perhaps not what I'd normally listen to, I applaud its originality. Thanks for sharing. B. |

Sexy, bloody brilliant. I'm working on an eighties tune myself, but it don't sound near as good as this. Niiiiice!!! B. |
|
| Sunshine by Tauchsieder | 2 years ago |
Wow! Okay, this was super smooth you guys. It was certainly different, and I enjoyed the little nuances that popped up, the little glitchy sounds layered over some nice bass and big synth pads. Crazy cool, Peace! |

| Vision Tunnel by crgutsch | 2 years ago |
This is pretty crazy man. The only way I could possibly describe it is as a soundtrack to a film (a thriller of some kind maybe). I like how it intensifies toward the end, very rousing. You're off to a great start here, keep it up. Looking forward to more of your posts! B. |

Cool song man, I'm digging this. I'm tending toward more minimalism myself, and I think this fits that idea nicely. Good going, make more. B. |
|
| Sugar and Spice by Geechi3 | 2 years ago |
I haven't heard the music without the vocals, but it seems as though both were create hand in hand. I am always genuinely impressed with your choice of music to compliment your vocals. You've an awesome voice. I should come up with something that would compliment it as I think it would be worthwhile to collaborate in the future. Thanks for sharing. B. |
|
| Get Funky, Robot Style!!! by Toonytony | 2 years ago |
 Not bad...seriously. Now, I liked the first synth that comes in. I would have not added the rest of the layers, at least not that soon, but instead broke into a break or chorus after a couple more bars. The initial synth, some cool lyrics, and a harder guitar sound for the chorus would have worked, but that's me being pushy. It's your music... B. |

| Air by Toonytony | 2 years ago |
Yes the loops are familiar, but what is important is the "composition" and "arrangement" of these loops. GarageBand is great isn't it? Once you've mastered it, you'll unlock all the cool little hidden abilities this software has to offer. For now, I would recommend that you work on balancing your track volumes (some of the synths came in a little loud in the mix), and pan your instruments so that they don't overwhelm each other (I usually put percussion in the middle, bass slightly to the right, and treble slightly to the left. Any incidental sounds and effects can be panned more extremely). Now go on and conquer. I look forward to hearing your development. B. |
|
| Theme-3 by Bazil | 2 years ago |
| For this song I used GarageBand and the JamPack 4 Symphonic Instruments. It's not perfect, but I tried to make it sound real by fooling around with the dynamics, and adding reverb. Thanks for your kind review Toonytony! | |
| Cheez Wiz by Toonytony | 2 years ago |
Oh wow, I didn't expect that beat just then, what a pleasant surprise. I agree with zefif, inventive is a good word to describe this tune. I enjoyed the melodic variations throughout. Nice going, do more like this! B. |
|
| I broke it by Bazil | 2 years ago |
| Toonytony, you are too kind, thank you very much. | |
| I broke it by Bazil | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Cheska! It is a tad repetitive, I agree. I feel as though I should add some variation to the synth that's panned to the right. I should add something to the middle part as well, I'm just not sure what exactly. Thanks for commenting and rating! B. |

| The Soulless Plains by SeanBeeson | 2 years ago |
Hey, I've heard your work on the audioGANG forums. If I'd known you were in iCompositions I would have "holla'd" at you earlier. I love this, this is what I want to do is get an actual orchestra to play my stuff (which is not even remotely as good as this). Brilliant, glad to have listened! B. |
|
| Lamentation of Saladzar v.1.1 by JaMen | 2 years ago |
 I really liked the feel of this tune, and the melody. However I think you should consider replacing the main piano with a different instrument (either that, or play it with more variation). Still, this is a work in progress, and I look forward to hearing the finished product. B,. |

| Little Girl (Dappa Don House Remix) by dappadon | 2 years ago |
Dap this was real smooth. All the tracks merged well together and were obviously meticulously crafted. From the draft you let me hear earlier, this is a huge leap forward. I haven't heard the original, but this stands on its own without a doubt. Keep em coming! B. |

| Wow. This was my very first tune on iComp, and frankly everytime I go back to listen to it, I cringe. Thanks for all the new comments, I appreciate it very very much! B. |
|
| Crown Royal by cicero19 | 2 years ago |
I agree completely with dappa. That must be you on the horns. Nice job man, this I dug and with the right voice, it would be a very radio worthy hip hop song. B. |
|
| Curious by cicero19 | 2 years ago |
This was a smooth beat for sure, however if I could be just a tad critical, I would say that it needed some change ups in melody or maybe some more nuances added to the beat itself. This is of course in light of the absence of an MC, which with the right voice would work very well with this track. Well done I say, no go forth and seek collaboration! B. |
|
| The Door by cicero19 | 2 years ago |
This is not your average hip hop beat, but it's perfect. I can hear the Jazz influences. The strings and horns accompany the beat very well, and all that's missing is an MC. Nice stuff! B. |
|
| Downbeaten by LowEndTheory | 2 years ago |

| Nouveau Jour Aimable by LowEndTheory | 2 years ago |
Nice going on the beat, I could tell you spent a good while getting it right. It sounds excellent, and the bass and overlayed synths are great. Keep this up man, thanx for sharing! B. |

| To Fight is to Win (Revised May 06) by anitric2000 | 2 years ago |
Yet another cinematic hit. Damn if there ain't some tension in this piece. Love the violin work especially layered with the woodwinds. Great stuff! B. |
|
| Orchestrated Trial by anitric2000 | 2 years ago |
Ooh, I like how those violins sound. I should get logic express. What software instrument package is this again? Anyway, great stuff, keep it rolling. B. |
|
| Brass Finale by anitric2000 | 2 years ago |
I saw brass, and I said, lemme hear this!I liked this, very evocative of a scene in a medieval period film, perhaps once the king or queen enters the court. I would have liked it to be longer, but indicated this to be a test, and I can't talk since I haven't completed anything in almost a year. Cool. |
|
| Love ya, Hate ya, See ya by Bazil | 2 years ago |
| Thanks anitric2000! Coming from you, this compliment means a heck of a lot, I'm quite humbled. I myself don't usually try to make this type of electronic music, but I thought that I might try something different with it, and that is why I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. It still needs work, but I think that I might make another one along the same lines instead. Thanks again man, always a pleasure hearing from ya! |
|
| Love ya, Hate ya, See ya by Bazil | 2 years ago |
| Thanks Dave! Didn't know where this was going when i first started it, but somehow the techno thing kicked in. That last measure needs a little work, perhaps one of these days I'll complete it. Or complete anything for that matter! |
|
| A Real Bummer by anitric2000 | 2 years ago |
| Yes, it is a little on the Sappy MacSapstein side, and short too. The woodwinds were a little loud in the mix. I like hearing these little incomplete pieces because you have the balls to actually post them, which is cool. My little incompletes are safely hidden away and in danger of deletion. Keep it up (without medication). B. |
|
| To Fight Is To Win by anitric2000 | 2 years ago |
Whoa, hey slow down there cowboy! I turn my head for a couple of months, and all of a sudden you're John Williams! Well done, I like what I'm hearing, it's VERY original, not like my stuff which are knock offs. You've got the writing down, now all that needs work is the production. Don't be afraid of reverb, and layering the violins so it's sounds like there are more of them. Otherwise, excellent! B. |
|
| Auralia by RickB1 | 3 years ago |
Coldplay influence? You think? Naaahh..... This was good, although I felt the tempo a bit too fast, it didn't give me time to enjoy the ebb and flow this song should have had. Nice going though. I'll say that you've pretty nailed the production here. Using GB, that's a pretty heftly accomplishment. |
|
| Dawn of Redemption by RickB1 | 3 years ago |
This is the perfect song for a car commercial. I mean that with great respect of course, it's just that I couldn't help but envision a brand new car gliding through winding turns on a long picturesque road amidst fields of green Disneyness. This is quite well done, well arranged and well produced. |
|
| MANGAT (video) by jeepo | 3 years ago |
This was pretty good, although it began to lag when I started to expect a little more than just a group of guys running through a school. As mentioned above, some of the camera work was pretty good and a couple of well placed stationary shots of the school interior were quite exceptional. I didn't think this was as funny as the first part of FAKETRIX, but I smiled a lot. I'll make an effort to check out other videos in the future if you have any planned. Peace and love. |
|
| THE FAKETRIX by jeepo | 3 years ago |
Well, a fine film you have here. I thought the first few scenes were quite funny actually, I laughed considerably hard, however as the video progressed the scenes seemed to lose their cohesion, and thus I did not sense that I was watching a sequence of events unfold, rather a collection of scenes you probably thought would work well together but ultimately didn't. Not to say you shouldn't make more of these. The more experience you and your friends have doing this, the better the output will be eventually. Like I said, the first part was phreaking hilarious, so start there. Peace and love. |
|
| Ghost of the Scorpion by Gillenium | 3 years ago |
I like this a lot, has a great tone, sinister and groovy. Well put together, and never boring, especially when played out LOUD! Only thing I would ask for is more thumping bass parts, although that is a subjective analysis. Nice one. |
|
| Orchestraic Trial by Bazil | 3 years ago |
| Thanks eurostrike. Funny, I was thinking that this piece would never get rated, so that justifies the phrase "never say never" nicely. Thank you. I was thinking I might do this one using my new favorite GB add on, Jam Pack 4. Music is one of my few escapes from the drudgeries of reality, and it's such a nice bonus to hear someone actually enjoy something I've done. Awsome. | |
| Theme-2 by Bazil | 3 years ago |
| Thanks for the kind review anitric2000. I know what you mean with regards to the slower release of the horns. I had the same trouble with the strings at first too, so I ain't passed the learning curve yet. I'll definitely go back and rework the horns (most of which are the trombone btw), among other things (I need to rework the volume levels and velocities for several other instruments as well. There is yet much work to be done! I blush at the Hans Zimmer comparison, personally I think my stuff isn't remotely up to that level, you are too kind, but being the film score geek that I am, I am highly flattered! Do purchase JP4, you'll find it very much fun indeed. When I bought it, the clerk at the Apple Store told me that I could return it unopened for a full refund, and I said, "You kidding me, I'm OPENING this box as soon as you hand me back my change!" The rest is history, I'm very glad I've made this investment. Oh, and if you're any interested in film scoring, you NEED Digital Performer 4.5. It's pricy, but well worth it. Thanks again! |
|
| Theme-2 by Bazil | 3 years ago |
| It's not complete yet, if anyone's wondering. I'm thinking it's about halfway through. I'll finish it as time permits. Peace. | |
| IN NO WAY by Slappytwac | 3 years ago |
I think I've noticed something. Everyone here is getting better and better at using GarageBand to it's max potential. I'd be damned if a record exec didn't just happen upon this site and go, "What the hell is this? How come all this time we've been signing no talent wanks to million dollar deals when the real gold's in 'ere!" Dunno, just a thought. This is great man. I'm REALLY loving this track. |
|
| Theme by Bazil | 3 years ago |
| Thank you very much Borris. I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for movie scores (I'm a geek in that sense, half of iTunes filled with the work of composers such as John Williams, Danny Elfman, Alan Silvestri, even Vangelis among others). As for doing more, I may first flesh out this piece a little more, and I'll definitely try other stuff too, as time permits. Thanks again for your review! | |
| Malfunktion, or The Rise and Fall of the Robot I Came to Love by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thanks synthmike. Always cool to be on someone's iPod. Kind of a crazy concept, to have someone you've never met listen to your music, and actually like it! This is what I look like right now :d, except my complexion isn't as radiant, and my teeth aren't as white. And I have big ears that stick out. Oh, and hair too. You get the idea though... |

I love it, and I do plan on using it somewhere down the line. Thanks! |
|
| Priest by royal72 | 4 years ago |
This is some interesting, post modern type stuff here. I think the minimalist approach suites it well. It seems as if everything here was done intentionally and so makes it a little difficult to point out what it needs because it's such an experimental piece. I liked it, and I liked how I got genuinely creeped out in some parts. Nice... |
|
| Malfunktion, or The Rise and Fall of the Robot I Came to Love by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Wow, you are too kind ponkey! Thank you. | |

| Thanks Doof! Always a pleasure having you listen to my stuff. | |
| Malfunktion, or The Rise and Fall of the Robot I Came to Love by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thank you cjhoose. I still have to change the wording around a little bit, and find someone who sounds convincing enough to pull it off. | |
| Malfunktion, or The Rise and Fall of the Robot I Came to Love by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| This marks my tenth song on iC! I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank the "bosses" of this site for the coolness of being able to upload music, making for the coolest hobby in existence (next to stamp collecting of course...). Cool, cool, cool. | |
| AnimeDestiny (Revised) by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thank you Hunksten. The distortion is also something I grappled with. I ultimately decided not to clean it up (different speaker produce varying result). I don't really notice any distortion on my headphones, but when I play it through the iMac speaker it's a bit muddy. When I pop it into my car stereo however it sounds fine. These issues make it somewhat difficult to accurately produce a track. I tend to use the compressor to try and make it satisfyingly audible on most sound systems. I'm working on a new one right now, it's a little different. Thanks again for your input! |
|
| Man To Man by synthmike | 4 years ago |
Slappy does have a point, but let me tell ya, this is a substantially good improvement. I like the shape this song has taken since it's inception. Well done. I think from this point on you've got it and it can only get better, so I won't tell you what else the song needs, because you already know. What I tend to do is listen to a song I've made so many times that I end up liking it, and thus I become deaf to it's faults. Thanks, keep it up! |
|
| Electric Trainset Love Song by Hunksten Proudfoot | 4 years ago |
This is really good. This song has a very "train" like quality. It comes through very well through the beat. As far as it being melancholic, I'd have to agree with synthmike. Nostalgic, yes. It is very obvious that a good amount of thought was put into this (either that or you just called it a train song cause that's what it ended up sounding like, eh? Just kidding...LOL). Once again, you have a certain way with loops. I get frustrated with them, but you seem to make them work, and that is no easy task. Thanks! Check out AnimeDestiny (Revised) when you get a chance. I'd very much like your input. |
|
| Doctor M by Neumuzik | 4 years ago |
| I'm not disappointed at all. I've got Soundtrack, though I've never really used it. I guess now's a good time to mess around with it. Thanks Neumuzik. | |
| AnimeDestiny (Revised) by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thank you very much synthmike. I agree with your comment on the bridge. I just wasn't sure what to do with it to be honest. It's been bothering me for a while now. Each time I revisit it I get stumped. You're much to generous with your rating, but I appreciate it very much. I'd like to thank you for your input, it's good to get this kind of feedback, since it forces one to really consider the flaws. That is something a lot of people, I think, are a little afraid to do with their own work. Now, off to fix that bridge... | |
| AnimeDestiny (Revised) by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thank you very much Arn, and welcome to iC! | |
| MIDGETS CAN'T RIDE ROLLER COASTERS by Slappytwac | 4 years ago |
Hey, they're still people! Imagine you were only 2 feet tall and everyone made you feel self conscious about it! How would you like that now, huh!! Interesting song btw, it's like music at a demented evil circus where the clowns have fangs and...there..are....midgets! Midgets with short stubby arms and fangs too because they're evil. Now let me tell ya, this made me think more about clowns than midgets, and I freaking despise clowns!! Very interesting track this, unique, uncategorizable. I did think it was a little long, and you could've benefitted from other interesting nuances, but still this is pretty cool. Thank you. |
|
| AnimeDestiny (Revised) by Bazil | 4 years ago |
| Thank you triage. Well, the intro strings are a combination of GarageBand instruments and the sounds that came with my keyboard (M-Audio Keystation 49e). It did take a bit of tweaking to get it to sound the way it does. Mainly reverberation was used a lot to make things sound somewhat bigger. Funny, I never even thought of the Beatles when I did that intro... The synth trilling, I think you might be referring to the lead guitar sound (which doesn't sound authentic, I know). That hasn't as much to do with my fingers as it does with tempo manipulation. I'm not that skilled, yet... Thanks again for the kind rating. |
|
| When I come around by nickh1 | 4 years ago |
What program did you use? You were 10 when you made this? When I was ten I was still mastering the art of picking my nose let alone picking a guitar. The vocals in this sound strikingly Beatlesque, even though this is a Green Day cover, and you're ten for heaven's sake! I'm gonna check out your other stuff to see how your music has matured over time. If this is any indication, then I'm in for a treat. |
|
| Doctor M by Neumuzik | 4 years ago |
An uncategorizible piece from Neumuzik. This is very unique. How did you speed up the tempo gradually like that? Can GarageBand do that? Do tell, do tell. That is the defining feature of this piece. I felt like the intro was a bit too sudden, maybe a fade in would've worked better? The electric guitar was also a bit on the mute side, but you probably wanted it that way. Otherwise, good show. Good show indeed my friend. Thank you. |
|
| Industrial Strength by Trickmaster B. Flexx | 4 years ago |
It's all MIDI!!!! Congratulations on that my friend. In an orgy of loops, yours is the kind which stands out. And don't say nobody likes industrial. I like it, and I like this knowing that it was created entirely using software instruments (correct?). I think you should have played around with the effects a little more, and added a little reverberation. The drums could use a little more presence and...err...Kaboom..sort of quality. Otherwise, well done on an entirely MIDI created beast! Thank you. |
|
| The mind of a philosopher by Tablamaster | 4 years ago |
What's the matter with people? Don't they know how to read?? You clearly state that you'd like this song rated, but after 52 listens not a single one of those felt obliged at all? Such disrespect. Anyway, to the review. Very nice introduction to the beat, and good use of sounds too. I think if you had more sounds zooming around the place, making it feel like there is more going on, it would be cool. The melodies are pretty cool, pretty funky, but somewhat uneventful. It needs something, I can't put my finger on it. I like the movement of it though, my ears agree. Certainly a grooving track. Music is universal, but also internal. The music we make clues us all in on eachother's ghosts. Thank you |
|
| You know how we do by Drama | 4 years ago |
You've got a nice beat there, however it seems a little repetitive despite the little extra sounds that pop up. Maybe some more scratching, and I think you should have taken advantage of panning, give it some spatial quality. Then we have the vocals! Nice, I like the neat little touches, and the girl that says "true!", this is worthy stuff right here. The synth buildup that follows, it's taking us somewhere...Ahhh I see it, we're in da club! This is really good. I likey. Two thumbs up! Thank you. |
|
| Pidou Bidou by DigiPal | 4 years ago |
I like the intro due to its ambiguity. By that I mean the seemingly uncertain arrangement, but it all comes together nicely eventually. Licostic is right, this is a bit static in the melody department, but like Licostic I too concur that everything flows along quite smoothly. Why not spruce it up a bit, some FX sounds, some melody leads. Just opinion. Tell your girlfriend to sing to this, then it'll be really cool. I also agree with einoo; Good job, awsome! Thank you. |
|
| EarthQuake by LaptopLifestyler | 4 years ago |
I like your name, "LaptopLifestyler." It's like a new breed of human. Laptopus Lifestylerus Erectus (can I say erectus here, or is that rated X?). I've only ever experienced an earthquake once, and it was ever so brief, but nonetheless terrifying! I like the creepy intro, and the machine like beat. I sort of wished you'd develop the synth melodies more fully, but that's just a matter of opinion. If this music was set to the backdrop of a disasterous earthquake, it works in that it makes it almost a humorous event. The image this piece did conjure up for me was of a factory where people are robots and robots are mighty. Think "Metropolis." Cool thing about music, it's about everything. Thank you. |
|
| tropix by gneale | 4 years ago |
Nice intro, especially the bass. The following transition was well conceived, but still lacked some punch, some oomph (no, not 00 miles per hour, it's an onomatopoeia). The synths in there kind of reminded of the Doors. I almost expected to hear Jim Morrison in a drunken stupor yelling for the music to stop just before he exposed his bits, God rest his soul. Ahh, now with the dramatic piano. Good use of that loop I think. I can't classify this music, it's somewhat visual. It could stand to benefit from some augmentation. Adding a few interesting bits of sounds here and there, perhaps? The guitar that shows up a little later sounds a little muffled, maybe some EQing is in order here. Of course this is my opinion, I'm nowhere near qualified enough to criticize anybody. Good stuff here, keep it up. Thank you. |

Wow, a gospel song which evolved into an electronica song. Now that's a concept! I like the cool bassline in the beginning; it goes well with the thumping beat. Then a break, then an organ in true gospel fashion. I think this may be unprecedented in the world of music, eh? Now all you need are those lyrics, and a gospel choir to round it all up. Perhaps more reverb here and there to make it sound bigger too. Very cool. A song like this could pump up the volume at any house of worship. Great stuff! |

Hello there triage. This is nice, groovy. The beginning was a tad too abrupt, but the groove that follows makes it okay. This is what funk might sound like if that alien band playing in the bar in the first Star Wars movie was performing it. An ecclectic fusion of synthetic and traditional instrumentation gives it a universal quality. I think that is something you should build on. Was the guitar real or looped? Either way it was nice and cool. I wasn't sure if I liked hearing the beat on the left side only; it sort of left this gap in the middle, if you see what I mean. The introduction of the voices was a cool idea, however they didn't seem in time with the rest of the song, and felt a little out of place. The introduction of the tribal like beat was also a good idea, but things got pretty muddled there for a while. It's definitely a party toward the end there, but I found myself longing for the music the piece began with. Otherwise this was quite the groove (there's that word again, somebody get me a Thesaurus...) Thank you. |

Appropriate title I must say. Great sounds you got here. Whatever short film your friend is working on, I'd really be interested to see it based on this piece. I think perhaps a little more variation on the beat (or whatever that is, bouncy ball kinda sound) would have been good, but otherwise this is probably all it should be. I especially liked the sounds towards the end, the ones with a little more melody to them. Nice and eerie. Visual too, solid soundtrack stuff. Thank you. |

Hello there! Your first eh? Let's see now, I think you should have eased in on the part after the intro a little more smoothly. There are some interesting things going on with the beat; I think you should embelish it with some textural sprinklings here and there, in other words spice it up a bit. That synth loop you used about halfway through doesn't seem to fit at all with the synth pad that comes before it. If you meant to change the tone of the piece, you should have done a little more gradually. The ending was a bit anti-climactic, for my tastes at least. With this being your first composition, I'd like to congratulate you. What more fun can a human being have than to make music, eh? Stick with it, and do take the time to study a bit about music theory, it helps and its fascinating. Cheers! |

| Thank you synthmike. I agree that introducing the song with the strings is the best way to go insofar as streamling the production. I actually went back and took out the piano piece, and was pleased to find that the piece still works. It's kinda cool, because I based the entire song on that one simple piano solo, which was in essence a building block, a foundation, the vertibrae of the piece. When the foundation was removed, I found that the music evolved to a point where it became independent of its "parent"; musical offspring if you will. It thus became an entirely new beast altogether. I don't know if this has become my method yet, and I don't know how the pros do it although I'd like to. The whole aspect of creating musical arrangements fascinates me. But I digress. Thanks again for the kind comments, it's cool to get some feedback. | |

| Thanks for the critique royal72! This is precisely the kind of review I like, one that's not afraid to point out the fault. However, perhaps misguidedly, the reason that the piano intro is at its present length is so that I establish the basis for the entire song, and demonstrate how a simple piano solo can spawn a host of other sounds. That's why I maintained that melody throughout. it's true that perhaps it should have been cut upon entry of the string section, but it was a little experiment. As for the drums at 5:08, that was a mistake that I decided to leave in because it sounded out of the ordinary; again just experimenting. I appreciate your thorough analysis, and hope that other listeners would provide the same level of insight, instead of the just the old "Good job, here are some stars for ya." I would like it very much if you checked out my other tunes and critique them as well. I admit, I hastened release of this track, but one of these days I'll get it right. | |
