[Battle Above the Clouds[Surge]]

Best so far

This is the best of your Iridion album yet! The guitar is HOTTTTTTTTT! excellent job on it ^_' defenitly an improvement on the original.

CyrusOfNaias responds:

Thanks! You can thank epic boredom in my discovering the Slide's feature for the Guitar solos and bends ><

Thanks again and expect more in the future!

[{United Fire}]

not bad

This is decent trance you've got going here. The arrangement is great; altho, the lead synth in the beginning is WAY too "IN YO FACE!" and kinda throws me off in the beginning. The distortion on the gutar is a good idea . . . but it needs tweeking b/c something about it doesn't sound quite right to my ear. I love the pad you chose ^_' keep at it, cuz this is pretty good

dJViZ responds:

thanks* and yes i agree, but ive just started making music, im still very below average :]

[The Cloud]

good

This is pretty good. On the first listen, the instruments are a little chaotic, and its hard to hear the tune. Which is why my clarity score is what it is. but the song is easier to follow on the second listen. I was a little weary of your use of the beeping in the begining (dunno what the instrument you used is called), but it is defenitly a strength later in the song.

by far my favorite part of this song it the bass. but thats just my character to like the bass ^=^ in any case, this song was a good, happy listen.

Dj-UnKnOwN responds:

Thanks man, really appreciate it. I think the beeping noise your referring to is the Sytrus Conqueror. It just sounds different cause it was high pitched. Yea i fell in love the the bass too. Sounds just like it's supposed to; very electronic
Thanks for the review!

FUN

what an enjoyable song. This really is a treat to listen to, and I hope you are really proud of this song b/c I think its awesome! a 10 all around

Dj-UnKnOwN responds:

Thanks cRAVE, i appreciate all your reviews =)

[Hero's Journey(Asteroid Belt)]

o_o

I would get really frustrated trying to do this song . . . its so well done. nice spin on it too. I agree that there are parts where the drum could have a bit more pump . . .

CyrusOfNaias responds:

Good ta hear from you again, man.

Indeed, it took much time to do... though I now realize I could've done more with the drums. I'll keep this in mind on my next song.

Danka!

Instant awesomeness

I can't not like it. wish I could make stuff like this . . . oh, thank you for making this, I will be enjoying it for a long time. You've put a lot of work into this, it shows and has paid off immensely. I dunno how much I like the guitar at the end . . . but does that dimminish this songs awesomeness? not one bit. perfect score all around. If I could score higher than a 10 on overall, I would

dj-Nate responds:

Thanks man. I tryed using the guitar for uniqueness.

[Iridion 3D - The Pacific]

8U

oooh wow. I heard your little teaser before I heard this one, was not expecting the difference, but doesn't mean I wasn't glad for the difference. Love the original, this one has a slightly mellowed out feel to the original. I agree with the previous guy in saying you did the original justice. there is a big pause at the end . . . thats about the only gripe I can manage . . . woulda loved to hear this as a loop, but I am not complaining ^_^ still really awesome. Dare I say I could see this being worthy of OCremix . . . yeah. I'm voting a five

CyrusOfNaias responds:

You're too kind, my friend. The big pause was an automation that was supposed to end a lot sooner. Sorry 'bout that!

In any case, I appreciate your review and trust me man, I'm far from finished! Expect more in the future! And that goes for everyone.

[Spirit and Opportunity]

really errie, but relaxing

this one starts off really downcast, and . . . foriegn feels like a good word to describe it. I really can see the alien world you are trying to portray. that really impressed me. Then the song transitions into the tunage and a nice little drumbeat. The ambient stuff comes back in and its all a nice touch. I like it. good work ^_^y

TheOrichalcon responds:

Glad you enjoyed it. I wanted to launch on that "alien world" sound before settling into any "tunage" as you put it. I'm glad it came across the way I intended.
