[Detious - Golden Haze (Prev)]

Oh HELL YES HELL YEAH. I love this.

Can I be the first to say this song destroys underwear? Because it kinda did dude... you owe me a new pair.

[DTS - Wander Beyond (Clip)]

What the freaking hell. This is goddamn amazing. <3 FINISH PLS. Seriously. I'll tell you more over skype you awesome possum. Where the hell has this been hiding.

[Lockyn - Bastion (Xtrullor Remix)]

I love the reworked intro atmosphere, it makes the entire track so much more epic. Great remix dude!

[Xtrullor - Hate Everything]

Freaking gold, this one. All your synths. So meticulous. I love everything.

Xtrullor responds:

Meticulous.

You learn new words every day...

[Bastion (RX3 Remix)]

I love the drop into the main chorus. Great instruments/synths and mixdown, feels really smooth and spacey but tight and rhythmic at the same time. You killed the original man. Awesome!

AeronMusic responds:

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the drops. I wasn't sure if you would like it.

[Cloud Nine]

[Lockyn - Intrinsic (Xtrullor remix)]

Damn son. Puttin' my tracks to shame. I love it! You did an amazing job making Intrinsic an actually listenable track as opposed to my unlistenable one! ;) Seriously though, I love your heavy sound. Spot on mixing and mastering, great to see I still hear Intrinsic themes in there :D This is a damn good remix! Too good, it's way better than the original! xD

[Secret of the Forest]

WHOO! Thank you so much dude, this is pure amazing. The amount of time you spent on this piece really reflects on the quality... holy. I have no words to accurately describe how much I love this.

Starting off with that nostalgic beginning, with the bass and and light guitar arp - I know that's how the original was, but your softer rendition was a great touch. Then a pluck layer, after the first four measures, and then at :27 - holy. That nice reverse fx into the percussion and the flute sound - that was phenomenal. Great mixdown here, balanced and spaced - sounded awesome. You did a great job with the right amount of reverb on your percussion. At 1:25 ish, where stuff drops off, it gets a feel of the original, which I really like. Then at 1:47, nice rendition of that syncopated section. And at 2:00... I love your interpretation of those drums. The way you did it gives the entire syncopated section a great halftime feel - I'm glad you put thought into how you wanted your edition to sound, and your thought really showed in a positive way to me! Continuing the halftime feel to around 3:20, where it drops off to piano and light guitar, nice little ambient break. Addition of drums after that was a nice spacey feel to the ambience. I like how the strings introduced later almost feels like a part of the phaser pad going back and forth - I dunno if that was intentional, but it was a very effective surreal effect that served to break down the track very well. Then, ending with the syncopated melody - perfect. :)

I hope my review has done your amazing track justice, and I'm very honored to have requested this work of yours. I'm looking forward to your future works, my friend. Thank you very much, you're awesome :D Cheers!

Kreyowitz responds:

Holy fuggin' crap man, this....THIS. I was seriously just hoping you would enjoy this, let alone LOVE the damn thing. I'm just happy that I could make something for someone to enjoy, the fact that you call it Amazing just...like... auughh god. The Feels.

THE FEELS.

Thank you for that, it's like a huge weight has been lifted from my body, OH MAN. Hell yes.

I hope I can continue to make music that gives people that same feeling.
Thanks for that, it was needed.

[The Door - Underworld]

Whoa whoa whoa.

Those string pad swells at the beginning sets a nice tone for the rest of the track. Around :24, I really like the low bass synth portamento down to the drum section - nice touch! Good ambience feel from then to around :55. The pluck synth is nice here, but when the last of the three note pattern gets off beat, it feels slightly weird. Then at the bridge, when it starts getting more melodic, the synth does a nice job there. Breakdown to the bass synth at 2:15 - I really like that portamento! Nice job man. Overall, good ambience feel, good structuring. I enjoyed this! Keep it up my friend ^__^

TaintedLogic responds:

Thank you so much, Lockyn! :D You're being too nice to me! I'm glad you like my portamentos, but I personally think I use the slide tool way too much! I understand your criticism about the awkward rhythmic shift. I had really tried to force that riff at 1:10 into the song too much. Thanks a lot, though! I really appreciate the support! :D
