Wow! Great interpretation – thanks smiley

Haunting....

My only comment would be the vocals could be made a bit softer and pushed back in the mix a little.

I love the sounds and groove in this piece - really strong. I'm left yearning for it to go a little further, but overall I think this is a really unusual and enjoyable track.

Reminds me of a hypercharged early Depeche Mode smiley
Metropolis - Towering Glass by TheLightDreams 11 months ago
Criticism is always good! Much appreciated smiley

This was an experimental piece, derived from an original version with many more layers of music... I decided I just wanted to isolate the mail melody and keep it as minimal as possible as for some reason, it just wasn't working.
Dream Machine by Gillenium 11 months ago

What an absolutely beautiful, professional and atmospheric track!!
Insynthed by drdazz 11 months ago
Could do with a bit of tidying in places, but overall I like it... reminds me of game music from my old Amiga smiley

Good tune.
Metropolis - Curfew by TheLightDreams 11 months ago
I've been a fan of Doctor Who for almost 30 years... I guess it shows!!! smiley
Metropolis - Eyes of the World by TheLightDreams 11 months ago
Thanks for the comments/suggestions guys!

It's been a difficult piece to find the right lead for... it is actually a revamp of something I did back in January, so it may evolve more yet!

Some songs are never quite finished... smiley

Great, simple track. I love the drums and the bassline.
F-15 Eagle by Abdelmoumen 1 year ago
5

Some of the melody parts could do with being made a little more prominent, but overall I think this is a fantastic piece. Really great riffs, catchy and dreamy. Beautiful sounds and atmosphere. I love the drums.

Kind of Kraftwerk meets Tangerine Dream. I wish I'd made this. Really my kind of thing!

Great track, well done.
Talos Part I by kilon 1 year ago

Always been a big fan of Jason and the Argonauts. Another great piece with great sounds.
Talos Part II by kilon 1 year ago

Nice, trippy intro... I like the Jarre-style burbles. How did you do that?! I want to do the same!!
Great strings, loveely chords. Very dramatic.
Forgotten Forest by kilon 1 year ago

This is fantastic... cool concept and a great sound pallette. I like the bass and the synths. Brilliant.
Final Gate by kilon 1 year ago
5

This is a really atmospheric and well performed track. Lovely spacey sounds. I tried to do something similar with my song "Birthline". My only criticism would be that it is too long.

A space-age epic, full of surprises. Well done.
Dying Earth by Abdelmoumen 1 year ago
Simplicity at its best - very nice.

!!!!

That bass/drum combo almost blew me right off my chair. Fantastic start to a great track. Very interesting sounds and a really unusual structure overall. I like this a lot.
Jusqu'à Demain... by moltesse 1 year ago
Beautiful music... I'd like to hear an instrumental version - that would make a lovely ambient tune.

Some great sounds here... very unusual and interesting.
Time Is Standing Still by futuredaze 1 year ago

Very unusual and original piece. Not so easy on the ears, but extremely well executed!
In A Lonely Place by GaryHunter 1 year ago
This is an emotive and reflective piece, nicely put together. This wouldn't be out of place on the soundtrack to a David Lynch film.

"When the machines chill..." smiley
ZOO: Rhapsody in Black and White by Justin_Case 1 year ago
4

I thought "White Magic" was particularly interesting... some kind of science-fiction opus. I felt a strong presence of Jean Michel Jarre in the music, which appealed to me very much.

I don't think ambient is the right category for it though - I found it to be more abstract. We really need an instrumental genre in the list, as it would be much more appropriate for some tracks.

Reminded me of something from the film "Pi"... very intense.
NIGHTCLUBBER (club) by AG 1 year ago

Although I found it too repetitive to my taste, it does build up really nicely. I love the sounds and production style. A bit of a warm summer night on a cold autumn day.
Demo: Empty Streets by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks smiley

I'm surprised I managed to play anything at all this evennig with all the halloween callers interrupting my concentration!! smiley
Discovery - The Blue Excess by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Cheers guys... nice to know it's not just me who likes it! smiley

I think sometimes, if you're really into a song you're making, you don't notice all the flaws or even realise it might be crap!

I was very happy with the sounds/atmosphere with this one.
Heaven by GaryHunter 1 year ago

Dance/trance isn't usually my cup of tea, but you've got a good range of sounds here and a nice, catchy riff. More production on the otherwise pleasant vocals wouldn't go amiss.
RunnersRhythm by Rudyman 1 year ago

The introduction is amazing!! I realy love that bass synth that comes in... I want that sound!!! smiley

Nice use of loops... good atmosphere.

I had hoped it might build up to something, but perhaps it's better to keep a track like this simple.

Well done.
Worldly Funk by Rudyman 1 year ago

This is simple GB at its best. Reminds me of the fun I had discovering the software. Don't worry about being an amateur - you have to start somewhere!

Nice choice of loops.
Missing Piece 8 by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Woohoo! I'm a sound experience! smiley

One day I'll revisit these pieces and sort out the low end... but thanks for your comments - really appreciated. Glad you like them.

Cheers!

Synthesis Part Six by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks Gary! smiley
Tomorrow - Dead Trees by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the comments, everyone smiley

Interesting to hear your thoughts on this track - easily my most experimental or ambitions piece...
I Once Was A Machine by GaryHunter 1 year ago
5

Nuuuuman! ;-p

This is really good - actually the intro reminds me a lot of "Seconds" by The Human League... and then with those lovely synthetic strings, it ventures into "Replicas" territory (and to be honest, I think it is better than 'I Nearly Married A Human').

Very sci-fi... would make a good film soundtrack.

I'd like to hear more from where this came...
A Glance In Your Direction by GaryHunter 1 year ago

Yeah.

Beautiful.

I really liked the intro... those first few notes could have taken the song in any direction.

Reflective, emotive... nicely done.
Into the Light - Beyond the Clouds by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the comments, everyone - this seems to be a popular piece! smiley
After The Rain by futuredaze 1 year ago
5

Ah great minds and all that.... one of my frist songs was called "After The Rain", which by sheer coincidence, I have just uploaded!

However despite sharing the same title, our songs are very different, and yours is much better! Lovely piano melody... you can almost smell the warm summer rain settling on the ground outside, glimmering and sparkling in the sunset.

I didn't like the change in the middle at first, but it grew on me!

Grand.
Random Robotic Dancing by futuredaze 1 year ago

Slightly reminiscent of Kraftwerk's The Mix... great rhythm and a wonderful set of sounds.
If only the robot voice didn't sound ike an American secretary!
Class Control by theseedsofautumn 1 year ago

Melodically the first part of this song sounds very much like John Foxx's "Kurfurstendamm". if you don't know the song, check out his "Tiny Colour Movies" album smiley

I like the unexpected variety of this track. Would work well in a film. I also like the use of the word "Dalek".
Overkill by DjDetski 1 year ago
I'm not really a fan of goa/trance music, but I thought this track had a good groove. Melodically it doesn't go far enough for my taste and it's too repetitive - but isn't that what trance is all about?! I like the synths and the energy.
Future Daze Of MetalBeat by futuredaze 1 year ago

Great palette of sounds smiley
A Simple Nothing [December Showers] (Original Extended Mix) by ElycionState 1 year ago
This song is SO damn good!!!! It's one of those "instant good mood" songs smiley
Cobalt Skies (Original Progressive Mix) by ElycionState 1 year ago
Nice, breezy, positive melody... great sounds, catchy.
This is really nice. Good title too smiley
Borealis (Original Edit) by ElycionState 1 year ago
There's a repetitive piano note which sounds out of key - even if this was intentional, it stands out every time smiley

It is a bit repetitive, but overall I think the groove and the sound is really good. Upbeat and uplifting. I like the 80s feel smiley

Lovely title too.
A Simple Nothing [December Showers] (Original Extended Mix) by ElycionState 1 year ago
4

This is delightful! Reminds me a little of Jen Michel Jarre's "Zoolook" smiley
The vocal sound is really cool. Got my foot tapping immediately and I couldn't stop it!!

I love the synths/samples and atmospheres here... great melody. My only "problem" is that sometimes the sound level doesn't seem quite right when the layers of music build up, it sounds a little distorted. There's probably a word for it but I don't know it!

It doesn't stroke me as particularly December-ish though.... this is my kind of spring/summer music! smiley

Overall a great job - one hell of a tune!!

A great first track... very uplifting and upbeat. I like ths smooth, soft synths smiley
I'll look forward to seeing (or rather hearing) where you take this...

I like this, it builds up quite well smiley
Missing Piece 4 by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the comment by the way - glad you like it! All four parts were done very quickly this afternoon as the rain poured down my window...
Missing Piece 4 by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
What synth... Gaaah... custom made/distorted sounds mate! Probably from the hybrid morph/poly options in GB...
Into the Light - Further Into the Light by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the compliments everyone... very encouraging smiley
This might not be my best track (then again, it might!), but it was certainly the most daring, and I felt quite a sense of achievement from completing it!

I love deep pads too... I'd be lost without them!!
Wild Is The Wind by particledots 1 year ago
David Bowie's version of WITW is my all-time favourite song. But with that in mind, I'm always tentative when hearing covers of songs that I don't think should be touched! smiley

Overall a beautiful piece - so it's interesting to hear such a different approach in this cover. Delicate and emotive vocals; very smooth, although I find the "itself" note far too long.

I do like the sparse, atmospheric electronic backing, that was a nice surprise. Very interesting.

Beautiful end note, too.
Discovery - Souvenir by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
That's a very cool compliment - thank you smiley

Oh, and my apologies to your spine!
phase space by mandlebrot 1 year ago
Nice electronic ambience... good sounds...
Industrial Sky - Nucleus by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the comments smiley

I can't remember now how I got some of the sounds in there, but I haven't done anything quite like it since!
sensitive dependence on initial conditions by mandlebrot 1 year ago

This is a stunning piece... dark and atmospheric - just what I like! I can hear echoes and elements of Kraftwerk, Jarre and Depeche Mode in there... brilliant soundscape!!
Into the Light - Above and Below by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks!

I recently changed the bass in the second half and now it sounds much better! I'll get round to uploading it at some point...
Into the Light - Endless Vista by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks guys.... I've tweaked it a little since uploading it, but overall I'm pleased with it. Optimistic simplicity!
before the thought by mandlebrot 1 year ago

This is really good. Fantastic pads, superb, sexy bass and great rhythm. That unusual timing just makes it all that little bit different. My foot started tapping of its own free will, so that can only be a good thing!
clear eyes by mandlebrot 1 year ago

This is a really simple but beautiful piece. It has such a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere. I was hoping it might evolve a litttle, but sometimes perhaps simple is best. Well done sir!
LIFE IN MEGAPOLIS (trance) by AG 1 year ago
4

This track opens with one of my favourite GB loops... great foot-tapping beats and an overall optimistic sound.

Unfortunately there is a problem with the file, as the sound quality breaks up half-way though, I think it needs re-uploading.
MY TRAVELLING (trance) by AG 1 year ago
4

My foot started tapping away to this without the rest of me even realising! Great synths, and a cool, catchy riff. Took a bit too long to get going, but nonetheless, the foot kept tapping. A well produced track.
*She Broadens My Soul by DavidBowles 1 year ago

Great song, great music. Personally I would have preferred more clear, perhaps less processed vocals, but the overall mood and sound is spot on!

I recently wrote a song for my wedding, called "Togetherness". Perhaps I should upload it....

A groovy, driving track with excellent production. Movie or video game quality epic!

Lost In Abstraction by RoboScott 1 year ago

Oh my, this is just FANTASTIC!! Some great sounds - some of my favourite GB synths in there. This track is absolutely stunning - I love the unexpected build-up towards the end. Great drums too.
Mélange by RoboScott 1 year ago
5

Excellent synths, and a really catchy melody. Love the tinkely bell melody. Love the bass and build-up. My only complaint is that it's too harsh when played on the headphones.
Distant Sounds by endlessimpact 1 year ago
5

Just a minute?! I want to hear the rest! Encore!! That is a realy beautiful piece. Reminded me of some of Jean Michel Jarre's music (which I love). I like the idea of such a short track, but I think this one in particular, is just too short - it left me yearning for more. Overall I found it quite a reflective piece of music.
Piano Concerto by endlessimpact 1 year ago

Quite pleasanrt and melodic. Very emotional and filmic. The only thing that let it down for me was the strings sounding obviously synthesised – I'd love to hear a version wth real strings.
*Absence of Grace by DavidBowles 1 year ago
4

This is fantastic... I absolutely love the David Bowie style and the dark electronica, what a great combination. Very inspiring lyrics.
Aura - Aura by TheLightDreams 1 year ago
Thanks for the comments and criticism - I find it most useful. I have only been creating my own music since 2006, so I've still a lot to learn!
