[Legions of the King]

Repeat much?

Congratulations. You have created a slightly passable generic melody. Unfortunatley, you ditch the melody, and then repeat a simple minor chord for at least sixteen bars and then simply modulate to the fifth. Then you just juxtapose the original melody onto your minor chord! Work on expanding your melodic line and then come back and repost the song.

[Eternity's End]

Good Composition

Face-Melting rock with a theoretic edge creates some serious music. The composer in me finds the music simple yet elegant while the musician in me wants to head bang. It certainly has a touch of good ol' fashion American Movie music resolutions but expands on the style and combines it with heavy. I especially enjoyed the fact that the drumline changes. That shows that you didn't simply copy and paste the same drumline over and over. However, I wish you had modulated to a different key just once. Towards the end, you lean towards a modulation, but just don't go there.
Over all, a glorious piece.

[Needle Reggae (demo)]

Not a reggae, but very cool!

YAY! Something really original. Just wondering, however, why is it called a reggae? I like the beat you set, and I wonder if you went into the clip and cut it up or ran it through an effect. I really like your eclectic techoeque' melody, becaus I can't quite get a handle of it.
Very cool!

zcult responds:

Yeah, man. Note taken, not reggae. The bobbing rhythm of the first instrument is so easy going it reminds me a bit of a caribean beat. It's nice and laid back. Reggae is just the title. I assigned the genre as techno.

It took a bit of development but it was fairly easy. I used Reason 3.0

[Electric Tsunami]

Almost a good metal sound.

You've got the bass(for the most part), rhythym guitar, and snare drum/bass drum pretty well down. However, the cymbols are not up to the level that the rest of the instruments are at. You've managed to simulate a very realistic bass sound, getting most of the nasty treble sounds out that usually plague midi base. The bass drum as well, sounds nice and fat. Good job!

[When you'r gone]

An average techno song, but fun.

Well, its an average techno song in the key of Eb major. The chords are generic and repetitive, following the standard I-V-vi-IV progression. But the strange thing about is that its fun. I should be bored out of my mind, but I'm not because of the way the piece transitions from chord to chord. Nice modulation to minor, too.
Good Techno
