Thanks everyone! Yeah, you guys are right, it does need a better ending.
Vegastribe - certaintly! I'll note you as well, in case you don't check back here, but for anyone else that's curious, I use Magix's film soundpool loops. They have a fantastic range, and pretty cheap prices - £2.49 (on average) for about 180 loops. God knows how many loops I have now, but I have about 20-30 of these packs. |

Ah, now this is better. Loving the loop mix. Piano seems to come in a bit hard, but everything else is blended well. Love those loops. Very creative mix.
Concept: 5 - excellent idea.
Creativity: 5 - brilliant song
Performance: 5 - really well mixed.
Production: 5 - just great! |

OK, I can hear it now! No idea what was going on before....
Right. The um...bells (?) at the beginning are a little strange, and detract from the gorgeous midi-string/choir piece you then go into. I like the breath choir under the strings (tell me if I'm wrong with the midis, this is just what it sounds like you've used to me!) It could perhaps do with being worked on a little so the beginning is a little tighter, but then you find your rythm...and then those bells come in again! The bells would have been OK, but not with the bend on them! Also the volume of the whole piece needs upping by a couple of decibels - I found myself leaning in towards the speakers to try to catch the quieter aspects - and the bells, which are louder, came out far too strong. All in all, a good idea.
Ratings:
Concept:5. It's a good piece.
Creativity: 5. For the same reason as above.
Performance: 4. Would have been 5, were it not for the bend on those bells.
Production: 3. FAR too quiet, and the bells far too high in the mix. If you want to keep the bend on the bells, then drop them below the melody line. |

"Not waving, but drowning"?
This is the first time I've listened to your work, and as soon as your voice came out of my speakers, it knocked me flat. (Metaphorically speaking....) Love the harmonies in the chorus. And that guitar playing is beautiful. The tempo and pace change is excellent, and well-thought out. And the lyrics are just...well....fantastic. I don't think there's much more to say, except it's a definate favourite, and I'll be watching you from now on! I'd love to see the lyrics up there though....yes, I'm sad, I like to sing along once I've heard a track and decide I like it! |

One thing you have to understand with my work - nearly all of it is improvised, which may account for the lack of ending. But thanks, and I'll work on it! |

| Song of the Sea by alfalpha |

The lyrics are:
Steep is the valley - it falls away,
Suddenly I see the bay,
Where white horses crash and rear,
The baying of the gulls draw near.
And here I stand, the wind in my hair,
looking over this land so fair.
But my heart towards the deep is drawn,
I feel the pull of Ulmo's horn.
My cloak billows, my hair flows free,
I hear the rising of the Sea.
Hope that helps....
'Talented'? Awwww!! *blushes* |

| the ent song by solbro2000 |

| Ah, Bregalad's Song!! I like this version, but I would have liked to have heard the instrumentals a little quieter, and your voice more! (Yeah, like I'm one to talk... *rolls eyes*) Hmm, I thnik I'd like to do a version of Bregalad's song, but possibly...a bit slower. As the Ents are slow beings anyway, I think the sort of rocky/bluesy doesn't quite fit... I like the way you skipped the elvish, it wouldn;t have fitted in this version. I do like this, it's deifferent ot the normal folksy/celtic approach... |
