[This is Chipstep]

This was the first time i actually really enjoyed to listed 8bit!
Many congrats on the song it sounds really good buddy.

wandschrank responds:

Thanks a lot, mate, I'm glad you like it, especially if you're normally not into chiptunes !:D

[The cracked spiral]

Beautiful and tragic this is an amazing song Jay!

[Laconic]

Another great use of ambiance sounds and overall dreamy instruments make this song really enjoyable to listen to. I must praise you for the amazing number of things going on on this track at the same time and you dealt with it wonderfully with your mixing.
Really like this track!

GershBeats responds:

The kind words and rating are truly appreciated! I've gotta check your stuff out too soon :)

[Azrei - Accel Turn]

I dont like the intro it is too long and doesn't offer anything interesting or makes what comes next sound awesome so in my opinion the first 30 seconds are kind of a waste of time and can possibly turn some heads away from the rest of the song.
The song itself has a nice beat although it gets boring kind of fast.
I must say i do like the stop at 2:43 and how the song starts again,
The ending sounds a bit lazy and overlooked.
6/10 The song could have innovated a lot more to keep things fresh and some details could have been fixed.
Overall not bad Axel.

Axel7 responds:

you're pretty damn right!!!

I wasn't fully happy with the song so I started editing it right now too ^__^

[City in Disguise]

Pretty good climatic intro, the song then evolves into an interesting beat while keeping most of the song simple. I like how you introduce new things to the song without making it either invasive or letting the main beat turn boring.
The song has a great feeling and i enjoyed your work GershBeats!!
8.5/10

GershBeats responds:

Thanks very much kind sir!

[Never Wake Me Up]

Im not a fan of R&B but this song is really well produced and your sister has what it takes.
I can totally hear this being played in the radio next to Alicia Keys :D

BlazingDragon responds:

Thanks for the huge compliment! :D

[~SW~ Moon Lake in the Sun]

Love the "upbeatiness" of the song, i usually don't really like happy songs but you really had an amazing piece and must be praised!
You use a lot of instruments and the mixing is obviously really good, the instruments shine on their own without having others on top making them disappear, they also sound very good and natural the only one i have to say does not make me as fulfilled as the others in the bass that starts at 01:10, i dont really like how it sounds, the notes it is playing on the other hand are really cool.
This is a piece that would be hard to brand as boring not only for being just a bit over 2 minutes but also because it transforms itself constantly and innovates more than a few times, if you wanted this would probably become a "boring free" 5 minute song.
So here it goes 4.5/5, i cant complain about the composition,mixing or even the song itself its all wonderful, its just my personal taste for "sadness" that prevents me from enjoying this as a 5.
Amazing work once again SkyeWintrest!!

[The Honey Pixie]

I was listening to the song while reading the description and when i finally ended reading i listened to the song again...i could imagine the story in the song perfectly...you should talk to someone on the Flash section to make a Collab with you and make this into a Movie.

[Yellow Rose]

Really peaceful and relaxing song, the solos guitar fit perfectly and complements the chill out style even more, i can also detect a hint of psychedelic there too.
You could have maybe introduce some more changes to the chords used and perhaps make the song a bit longer.
Good work Lemon! 8.5/10

LemonCrush responds:

Thanks so much. I think I was (trying to) channel Hendrix lol

I was going to make it longer, but I felt it'd get a little too repetitive.

[Gift Of Giving Nothing]

This has Zipper all over it, wherever you go you surely leave a mark.
You feature really impressive choice of instruments giving a chilly winter feeling, and the way you composed the song fits perfectly with the vocals.
The vocals are really good, the mixing is perfect and your pitch and tone and spot on, the lyrics however although well written some times are too long for the song itself, thats very noticeable in "there's plenty sunlight" and " perfect for a snowball fight". The creepy approach is also a bold move but kind of expected from you :D.
Good work Zipper!

ZipZipper responds:

Okay I can agree with that! I'm definitely afraid of making a bold move by staying true to who I am for something so genre specific. Ehh...a big thing I got out of reading the outline for the contest was "Christmas carol", so I just had to use my horrendous voice somehow...I'm thinking perhaps it was too much. Oh well. It's not the end of the world...*gulp* Thanks for reviewing Mr. Sexy <3
