This is nothing like anything I've ever heard on newgrounds before. It reminds me of boards of canada, with alot less hip hop influence. Very minimal, intriguing. I could totally see this as background in a sad asian flick. Frkin awesome dude.

I totally dig it dude. Kinda hip hoppish, and folkish at the same time. Love that feelin. It's like a gangster, but he's got a cool chill side. I'd reccomend a better VST or the real thing for your acoustic guitar though. Even a bad recording of an acoustic guitar can be used for a high quality end product sound (layer it with VSTs). Where's the rest of the song anyhow? I'm interested in hearing it :)
5/5 10/10

I don't have an acoustic guitar at the moment, or a high quality mic to record it with, but i do plan on getting both of those soon. I completely agree with you on that. The original song was pretty repetitive, and it wasn't really something i intended on making a full remix of, and since this melody/riff is pretty much played throughout the entire piece, i thought it would just suffice to make a loop of it.
Looks like they took down the original on imeem.com I was going to link the original to you, but i guess they dont' have it anymore :(
They aren't well known so it may take a little bit of time to find it, but i bet if you looked hard enough you could find it : / Sorry about that.
Anyways, Thanks for the review!

Reminds me alot of the old grunge stuff from back in the day man, I dig it. Needs some better mastering though...considering the music without the quality, superb. I'm going to ignore the lacking mastering and mixing in this song and judge it as an indie band on the local scene...which makes this song awesome, actually, heheh. Props, keep it up, get some better softwares or equipment or whatever...but the music is straight badass.
Author's Response:
Thank you so much man! This is what I'm all about, I don't have the time and equipment to learn to be the master masterer, but I'm willing to make music and ready to record some pro stuff with a little help. Sucks to be broke when money is the thing stopping me from getting my ass in the studio. I want to bring those days back man, just today I was listening to AIC Facelift album and that's the kind of stuff I want to hear. And by the way Soundgarden is one of my all time favourite bands and a really big influence. Thank you very much!

Reminds me of a clock the way the snare switches left and right channels. Frkin cool idea man. Choirs are ok, but they could be better. They do sound alot like strings afterall, heh. I'm still anticipating a heavy bass somewhere, but its totally not like you to do that, heheh. No fault in it, that's just my preference man. I dig it overall, you get props.

I love how you mix your drums...the EQ particularly. Sounds great! Enclosed, loud, but not flat at all. Very vibrant for such a tight sound. Would've liked to see a mid-range layer added to the end of the build up around 2:35. Its very much just high end sounds with a cool drumset, not much bass, not much else at all. Well compensated for with the glitchy drum solo however.
...I noticed the drums got exceptionally louder as they got busier. Maybe try to control those a bit, and one or two more midrange layers throughout the whole song really. That's all I can suggest for improvement...superb work, keep it up. :)
Author's Response:
yeah the drums do get a bit loud when the resonance in increased, but thats pretty much the only time the volume increases with them, as for the drums increasing as the track went, on, probly just a trick with your ears
yeah loking back on this i could have added somthin in the mid level reange, but whats done is done
also, i tried not to make anything too bassy, cuz to my it kinda takes away from the ambience
thanks for a very informative review
peace out

Sort of an industrial drum n bass song. I'm digging it, because I can pick it apart and tell what you were trying to do...but the mixing is sub-par, once everything gets thrown in there in the chorus its really difficult to distinguish whats going on. Spend a bit more time in the mixer with the EQ and this song will be golden my friend.

I'm not really into the hip hop scene, but this...this is good, and it hits home. Just broke up with somebody, this brings a smile to my face. Props.
Author's Response:
Hah. That's exactly what I was looking for. I want to touch home with my fans. With people in general.
I appreciate your honesty, and your vote.
[Yeah, I noticed you 5'd as well.] =]
Either way, this song is one of those 'you're not the only one' songs. I'm glad I made one of my listeners feel better man.
It puts a smile on my face that I have a new fan of hip-hop that wasn't before.
=]
Hope you feel better.
I did after I wrote this song.
Maybe you should write one too. =P

Until that weird annoying distorted thing came in around 00:26. Classic dance beat, cool, well mixed. Lots of breaks, also cool. Dig the pads around 1:30, very nice. The chorus at 2:04 is the best part. Definite props on that. And now when the distorted annoying thing comes back it isn't so out of place.
All in all pretty good piece. I would've done a couple things differently in your arrangement, but thats an each to his own sort of deal. Dig it 4/5 8/10

Glad to see another floyd fan or two around. I was never much of a fan of the 60s Pink Floyd alubms, but Wish You Were Here (the entire album) was definately a tribute to mr. Barrett's influence on the band, and such could be heard and attributed to him throughout their entire career..up until the Wall at least. After that, things just went south. Happens to the best of us. You get a 10/5 for nostalgia and bringing some great music to newgrounds, but I can't approve of a mortal attempting to mimic a God. Make this your last cover of Syd, and you'll be alright :-P
Author's Response:
Thanks for your review, but i was not trying to "mimic" a god, I wanted to make this song my own, and not an exact copy of Syd's ;)
It sounds nothing like the original (in my opinion) and that is why I'm happy with the result!
